Set in an era of intoxicating excitement and ruinous excess, changing manners and challenged morals, F. Scott Fitzgerald`s second novel chronicles the lives of Harvard-educated Anthony Patch and his beautiful, willful wife, Gloria. This bitingly ironic story eerily foretells the fate of the author and his own wife, Zelda-from its giddy romantic beginnings to its alcohol-fueled end. A portrait of greed, ambition, and squandered talent, The Beautiful and Damned depicts America embarked on the greatest spree in its history, a world Fitzgerald saw, according to Tobias Wolff, "with clearer eyes than any of his contemporaries.

Feeling jealous over the attentions given his new baby sibling, a little fox runs away from home, in the first story in this treasury. In other stories, a bear can`t get to sleep and keeps disturbing his friends; a hungry ginger cat goes looking for some milk; and a toddler asks his mother to tell him a story. This collection of four stories for prereaders is illustrated with Atsuko Morozumi`s detailed, dimensionally shaded watercolor drawings, and includes four "picture stories" - busy, two-page scenes where so much is going on that youngsters can make up their own stories.
