Description

"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.… (more)

I enjoyed this book but I was a bit disappointed by the selections. I feel like there are a lot more profound and beautiful endings in many well known classics. Several of the excepts were quite good but many were just okay.
The photographs were beautiful.
