For Whom the Bell Tolls
by Ernest Hemingway
Many consider For Whom the Bell Tolls to be author Ernest Hemingway’s finest work.

Just David
by Eleanor H Porter
Just David is a 1916 children's novel by Eleanor H. Porter. It was among the top six bestsellers in cities across the United States in 1916, and in July 1916 it was the second bestselling novel. Originally published by Houghton Mifflin, it tells the story of a young boy, David, who must learn to adapt to living with others after the death of his recluse father; along the way, the villagers and his adoptive parents adopt as much or more to him.
