General Information


Dear readers,

"The Tailor and the Crow" by L. Leslie Brooke waspublished in 1911.

The content on this website is made possible courtesy of Project Gutenberg. Their volunteers have done a tremendous job of digitizing tens of thousands of books and then making them available for free download. I've selected some of the books and formatted them on my websites for easy reading from iPhone, Android, and similar mobile phones.

The images on this website are taken from http://www.gutenberg.org/files/27530/27530-h/27530-h.htm.

Because of the website design, I've split the story into 18 sections and added a title to each section.
