This essay collection provides insight into 100 literary items that run the gamut from "Beowulf" to "Breakfast at Tiffany’s" to "Parkinson’s Law" to "Something Fresh" to "Auntie Mama", etc. The authors analyze the tale & offer background material on the author. The material analyzed range from fantasy, general fiction, non-fiction, humor, memoirs and biographies, mystery, science, and travel. Each essay is very interesting, insightful, and worth the price of 100 ONE-NIGHT READS, especially if the reader obtains the original piece and uses the work of the Major siblings as a supplement or guide.
