Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgeralds finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nicks cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.

Basil and Josephine charts the coming of age of two privileged youths from quiet Midwestern towns, Basil Duke Lee and Josephine Perry based on Fitzgerald himself and a combination of his first love Ginevra King and his wife Zelda. As one struggles to gain the acceptance of his peers and becomes consumed by ambition, the other finds herself obsessed by teenage crushes and has to confront the pitfalls of popularity.Written for the Saturday Evening Post while the author was working on Tender Is the Night, these stories form a realistic and entertaining portrait of two young adults in the 1910s, fascinating both for the autobiographical insights they provide and the timeless satire that Fitzgeralds fiction has become synonymous with.________''He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.''

Deliciously funny, Jemina is one of those rare things: a story for a storys sake.Fifty years ago, way up in the mountains, the Tantrums and the Doldrums fell out over a game of slapjack. That feud has lasted since then, although the two families both run whiskey stills. Jemina Tantrum is hard at work when a captivating stranger appears. His desire to buy the Tantrums property sets a disastrous chain of events in motion. The obvious humour aside, Jemina is evocative of the lives and temperaments of 19th-century Americans. A laugh-out-loud book, packed with sharp wit and a superb finale, Jemina is ideal for fans of Mark Twain.
