in the middle of an exposition of abstract philosophical principles or complex points of<br />

Islamic philosophy, <strong>and</strong> in one case during a detailed description of human anatomy<br />

according to Galen—<strong>and</strong> in all these cases turns out to be justified in her belief that the<br />

king's curiosity about the sequel would buy her another day of life.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Indian folklore is represented by certain animal stories, which reflect influence from<br />

ancient Sanskrit fables. <strong>The</strong> Jataka is a collection of 547 stories, which are for the most part<br />

moral stories with an ethical purpose. <strong>The</strong> Tale of the Bull <strong>and</strong> the Ass <strong>and</strong> the linked Tale of<br />

the Merchant <strong>and</strong> his Wife are found in the frame stories of both the Jataka <strong>and</strong> the Arabian<br />

Nights."<br />

46 "... Adventures of Huckleberry Finn...”<br />

"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) (often shortened to Huck Finn) by Mark Twain. <strong>The</strong><br />

book is noted for its innocent young protagonist, its colorful description of people <strong>and</strong> places<br />

along the Mississippi River, <strong>and</strong> its sober <strong>and</strong> often scathing look at entrenched attitudes,<br />

particularly racism. <strong>The</strong> drifting journey of Huckleberry Finn <strong>and</strong> his friend, runaway slave<br />

Jim, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of<br />

escape <strong>and</strong> freedom in all of American literature."<br />

47 "... Gulliver's Travels ..."<br />

"Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735), officially Travels into Several Remote Nations of<br />

the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, <strong>and</strong> then a Captain of several<br />

Ships, is a novel by Jonathan Swift that is both a satire on human nature <strong>and</strong> a parody of the<br />

"travellers' tales" literary sub-genre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, <strong>and</strong> a classic of<br />

English literature. <strong>The</strong> book became tremendously popular as soon as it was published<br />

(John Gay said in a 1726 letter to Swift that "it is universally read, from the cabinet council to<br />

the nursery"), <strong>and</strong> it is likely that it has never been out of print since then. <strong>The</strong> book<br />

presents itself as a simple traveller's narrative with the disingenuous title Travels into<br />

Several Remote Nations of the World, its authorship assigned only to "Lemuel Gulliver, first<br />

a surgeon, then a captain of several ships"."<br />

48 "...Peter Pan..."<br />

Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist <strong>and</strong> playwright J. M. Barrie (1860–<br />

1937). A mischievous boy who flies <strong>and</strong> magically refuses to grow up, Peter Pan spends his<br />

never-ending childhood adventuring on the small isl<strong>and</strong> of Neverl<strong>and</strong> as the leader of his<br />

gang the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies <strong>and</strong> pirates, <strong>and</strong> from time to time meeting<br />

ordinary children from the world outside.<br />

Barrie never described Peter's appearance in detail, leaving much of it to the imagination of<br />

the reader <strong>and</strong> the interpretation of anyone adapting the character. He describes him as a<br />

beautiful boy with a beautiful smile, "clad in skeleton leaves <strong>and</strong> the juices that flow from<br />

trees".<br />
