Features: More than half of the 20th-century modern and contemporary outstanding foreign works make up for the shortage of recommended reading for China's "New Curriculum Standards" in modern and contemporary excellent literary works, which are only "rare and precious." Addressing the current trend of overly "advanced" children's literature in China, a collection of world-class children's picture books has been published for children aged 2-8. The works cover various genres: novels, poems, essays, drama stories, picture books, fairy tales, and biographies of famous people. The novels include science fiction, animal novels, fantasy novels, treasure-hunting novels, detective novels, horror novels, and realistic novels as well as romantic novels that reflect contemporary life. The content is vivid and brilliant, with exquisite packaging and illustrations.
Eric Knight (1897-1943) was born in England and moved to the United States in his youth. After marriage, he settled on a farm in Pennsylvania. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and died in action. This book is one of the global classics about dogs. For over six decades since its publication, it has touched the hearts of countless readers. Lassie, the beloved dog of Joe, was sold to a wealthy duke when Joe's father lost his job. She escaped three times and was sent back by her former owners each time. In the end, the duke took Lassie to Scotland, and miraculously, she completed the thousands of miles-long journey back home alone. Elizabeth Taylor starred in the film adaptation of this book at the age of 12 and gained fame overnight.
