The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated happy dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events leads to his serving as a sled dog in the Yukon during the 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at generous prices. Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is London's most-read book, and it is generally considered his best, the masterpiece of his so-called "early period". Because the protagonist is a dog, it is sometimes classified as a juvenile novel, suitable for children, but it is dark in tone and contains numerous scenes of cruelty and violence. London followed the book in 1906 with White Fang, a companion novel with many similar plot elements and themes as Call of the Wild, although following a mirror image plot in which a wild wolf becomes civilized by a mining expert from San Francisco named Weedon Scott.

"The Mysterious Affair at Styles" is a classic detective novel written by Agatha Christie and published in 1920. It is notable for being the first novel to feature Christie's iconic fictional detective, Hercule Poirot. The story is set in England during World War I and revolves around the wealthy Inglethorp family, who reside in the country estate of Styles. When the family matriarch, Emily Inglethorp, dies under suspicious circumstances, Poirot is called upon to investigate.The novel is a classic example of a "locked-room mystery," where the crime occurs in a closed environment with a limited number of suspects, making it a challenging puzzle for both Poirot and the reader. As Poirot meticulously examines clues and interrogates the residents of Styles, he uncovers hidden motives, secrets, and a complex web of relationships. The novel is known for its intricate plotting, memorable characters, and cleverly concealed solution, which is revealed in a dramatic denouement."The Mysterious Affair at Styles" is a must-read for fans of classic detective fiction and Agatha Christie's work, as it marks the beginning of a long and successful career for her famous detective, Hercule Poirot.

Published in 1766, 'The Vicar of Wakefield' was Oliver Goldsmith's only novel. It was thought to have been sold to the publisher for £60 on Oliver Goldsmith's behalf by Dr Johnson to enable Goldsmith to pay off outstanding rent and to release himself from his landlady's arrest. It is the story of the family of Dr Primrose, a benevolent vicar, and follows them through their fall from fortune and their ultimate rise again. The story provides insight into family life and circumstances in the mid 18th century and the plot has many aspects of a pantomime like quality: Impersonation, deception, an aristocratic villain and the abduction of a beautiful heroine. Goldsmith himself dissipated his savings on gambling whilst a student at Trinity College Dublin and subsequently travelled in Europe sustaining himself by playing the flute and disputing doctrinal matters in monasteries and universities. Later he worked as an apothecary's assistant, a doctor and a school usher (experiences shared in this story by Dr Primrose's son).
