"What a beautiful thing Notre-Dame is!"--Gustave Flaubert


Set amid the riot, intrigue, and pageantry of medieval Paris, Victor Hugo's masterful tale of heroism and

adventure has been a perennial favorite since its first publication in 1831. It is the story of Quasimodo,

the deformed bell-ringer of the Notre Dame Cathedral, who falls in love with the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda.

When Esmeralda is condemned as a witch by Claude Frollo, the tormented archdeacon who lusts after

her, Quasimodo attempts to save her; but his intentions are misunderstood. Written with a profound sense

of tragic irony, Hugo's powerful historical romance remains one of the most thrilling stories of all time.

Deep underground, a web of evil magic holds a prince in captivity.

Narnia ... where owls speak, where evil weaves a spell ... where sorcery enslaves the land.

Narnia is in peril, and only Eustace and Jill can help. Along with Puddleglum, a gloomy but valiant Marsh-wiggle, they are sent by the mighty lion Aslan to find Prince Rilian, heir to the throne. Their quest leads them past hungry people-eating Giants, and deep into the dark underground. But the true test for this noble band of friends comes when they face an evil witch and her deadly enchantments.
