In "Cringle and Cross-Tree: Or, The Sea Swashes of a Sailor," Oliver Optic crafts a vibrant maritime adventure that immerses readers in the life of the sea. Through the eyes of his protagonist, the narrative unfolds with a dynamic blend of vivid descriptions and spirited dialogue, showcasing the camaraderie and challenges of life aboard a ship. The literary style is both accessible and entertaining, appealing to young readers while also using nautical themes and rich, sensory imagery that evoke the thrill of sailing. Written during the mid-19th century, the book reflects the era's fascination with maritime exploration and adventure, as well as Optic's own travels and experiences as a sailor, making for an authentic portrayal of this seafaring world. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was an influential author renowned for his children's literature, particularly his adventurous tales that often included educational elements. His extensive background in teaching and his profound love for the sea played a significant role in shaping the narrative of "Cringle and Cross-Tree." Adams aimed not only to entertain but also to inform young minds about the virtues of courage, friendship, and responsibility through wholesome maritime adventures. This book is highly recommended for both young adventurers and nostalgic adults intrigued by nautical tales. With its engaging storyline and moral lessons, "Cringle and Cross-Tree" provides not just an adventure, but a timeless exploration of character, bravery, and the unyielding spirit of the sea.

    One of Faulkner’s most controversial novels!      A lesser-known but compelling novel from the author of Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury.      Have you ever wondered what speaks to the tortured soul of an artist? What would it be like to be stuck on a yacht with only the musings of the world and a group of artists as your company?      In the heat of the late Louisiana summer, Faulkner brings us a story of artistry that examines the thoughts and actions of Southern bohemians who have nothing to interrupt them but the hum and fire of the mosquitoes that surround them. “Faulkner’s message is clear: We are the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are us.”—Rein Fartel, “Twentieth Century Millennial: Revisiting Faulkner’s Mosquitoes.”       With a foreword by Carl Rollyson, a renowned biographer of Faulkner and other eminent authors, this fine new edition works to highlight the “Louisiana Faulkner,” the Faulkner before fame, and his thoughts on the lives of Southern artists.
