Ruth,
I have a beautiful copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin. It was published in 2007 as "The Annotated Uncle Tom's Cabin" I just added the copy I have to my profile page if you want to check it out. It's beautifully illustrated with images of the story which were published over many years. The book changed history, really, so it is worth reading.

I've always enjoyed the story about President Lincoln meeting Stowe and saying to her "So you are the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!" In fact, that was quite true! It's worth reading, if only for the historic interest. It really did change the course of our nation!

It would be a great group read!
Pam

Pamela | 2209 comments I love Jane Austen and have read all of her books! Do any of you have the book "Jane Austen An Illustrated Treasury" with removable letters, drawings, poems and handwritten pages from her books? It's beautiful and each item is an exact copy of the original documents and artwork! Check it out if you've never seen it!

I just read your quiz question and I thought it said what "NFL" author created a character.....I couldn't understand how football related to New England Lit!!! But I'm so new here and I have been making mistakes, so I just figured I didn't get it!!! LOL!! I see it all cleary now!

Pamela,
How were you to know about
Mark Twain's home as a previous
quiz? You didn't. It remains a good
question.
And your Hawthorne quiz was an
excellent stumper.

You have nothing to disparage
yourself about.

You are one of the nicest people I know, Ruth! Of course, everyone here is nice, but you simply will not accept any negativity and you always say such kind things to me...I'm not used to that! : )
