A true book of worth, a celebrated classic that lives in an era of timeless distinction. You will not be dissatisfied with this work, literature at its finest. Quote "The Rolling Stone was brought around to the wind, and sailed away on a long tack up the Indian River." Synopsis American author and humorist, Frank Richard Stockton, is best known today for a collection of avant-garde children's fairy tales that gained enormous acclaim in the closing decades of the 19th century. Instead of employing the didactic moralising that was prevalent in children's literature at the time, Stockton used deft comedy to make fun of greed, brutality, abuse of power, and other human vices while charmingly and matter-of-factly detailing the exploits of his fantastical characters.
