Sylvie and Bruno
4
Uneven work, which at its best, rivals and even exceeds the two Alice books in quality. However, at other times, it seems disjointed.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
5
A charming account of life in the South but it's still a little too rosy. Nevertheless some of Twain's best writing is on display here
