Nous faisions durer un repas au cours duquel, je proposais à l''assistance de parler de nos rues au siècle dernier.Durant ces quelques heures, je ne voyais personne des gens qui m''entouraient, mais seulement mes amis d''autrefois qui m''accueillaient avec leurs mains franches et leurs sourires.A la fin de la causerie, les auditeurs intéressés me dirent :- Pourquoi n''écrirais-tu pas ce que tu viens de nous raconter ?

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire is an 1883 novel by the American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle. Consisting of a series of episodes in the story of the English outlaw Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, the novel compiles traditional material into a coherent narrative in a colorful, invented "old English" idiom that preserves some flavor of the ballads, and adapts it for children. The novel is notable for taking the subject of Robin Hood, which had been increasingly popular through the 19th century, in a new direction that influenced later writers, artists, and filmmakers through the next century.

The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom is a novel by Tobias Smollett first published in 1753; It was Smollett's third novel.

The son of an equally disreputable mother, Smollett himself comments that "Fathom justifies the proverb, 'What's bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh". Sir Walter Scott commented that the novel paints a "complete picture of human depravity". The novel's elements of terror and the supernatural have caused some historians of English literature to describe it as anticipating the themes of the Gothic novel.
