Happily Ever After: The Book Lover's Treasury of Happy Endings

By Walter Browder

"You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all ""Thank goodness " said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco-jar. From "The Hobbit" to "Heidi," this charming collection of "last pages" is a reminder that, if only in great literature, everything works out in the end. E. B. White's "The Trumpet of the Swan, " Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club, " Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol, " Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House in the Big Woods" are all represented in this book. The last paragraph or two of the world's best loved books are brought together in this beautifully packaged gift book which also includes works by C. S. Lewis, Jules Verne, Garrison Keillor, and Celestine Sibley among others.

The Perfect (Happy) Gift for a Contemplative Evening

This book contains happy, wise endings from many of the world's best storytellers. Every page presents an image to ponder that gives you a lift and makes you smile. This is not a "city book" to rush through. Rather, it's the sort of "country book" to be savored slowly while sipping a cup of tea or a hot toddy before a crackling log fire.
