 | The Puttermesser Papers by Cynthia Ozick
An updating of DON QUIXOTE that transforms the mad knight of la Mancha into the first woman mayor of New York. Ruth Puttermesser is a depressed and rather forlorn civil servant in Manhattan who plods through the boring routine of her days at work by daydreaming of a rich and lively future in which she emerges as a successful politician. Through an elaborate sequence of events her fantasies become realities, and she is elected and serves as the most successful mayor the city has ever seen. Her triumphs begin to sour nearly as quickly as they flourished, however, and eventually Ruth begins to see that the relations between success and happiness are more tenuous than she had imagined.

 | Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Angel Dominguez, Barry Moser, Carolyn Ewing, Cooper Edens, DeLoss McGraw
As he escorted the three young daughters of a colleague on a trip up the river Isis, Lewis Carroll invented ALICE`S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, the story of a little girl who tumbles down a rabbit hole. Full of such wonderfully eccentric characters as the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter. The book is simultaneously a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children`s literature, a fairy tale, a dream, and a child`s chronicle of growing up. AUTHOR: Angel Dominguez, Barry Moser, Carolyn Ewing, Cooper Edens, DeLoss McGraw
