Produced by John Hagerson, Kevin Handy and PG Distributed Proofreaders "The World's Greatest Books — Volume 03 — Fiction" by Arthur Mee and J. A. Hammerton is a curated collection of significant works of fiction, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This volume showcases various influential authors, including Alphonse Daudet and Charles Dickens, offering readers a breadth of comedic and dramatic narratives that reflect the human experience through engaging storytelling and memorable characters. The opening portion introduces readers to the editors and sets the stage for a dive into classic literature. Among the highlighted works is "Tartarin of Tarascon" by Alphonse Daudet, which humorously recounts the adventures of Tartarin, an exaggerated hero and boastful hunter from the town of Tarascon, who aspires to chase lions despite the evident absurdities surrounding his bravado. The narrative immediately establishes Tartarin's flawed yet lovable nature, showcasing a journey filled with comedic misapprehensions and societal satire as he awkwardly navigates his ambitious plans with both fear and determination. The content indicates a strong focus on character studies and humorous observations about human nature, making it an enticing introduction to the themes explored in this volume of fiction classics.
