Classic novels are books that are considered to be of the highest literary value. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is considered a classic, and is read by many school children. Other popular books for school children include Moby Dick, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Scarlet Letter, and Of Mice and Men. Classic novels, as opposed to the wider variety of other books
. available, hold special meaning or are said to have a more edifying effect on the reader. They may also provide important insight into the state of the world at the time of the book's conception. A list of many classics is on this website: http://www.cincinnatilibrary.org/booklists/?id=classics.
