The Essentials

The Essentials is a yearly box set of five current and classic books published by Villanova Inc. and Marcus Villanova. The Essentials also includes two classic Movies and one current movie that is "great". The first set of arts was made in 2010. Each book or Movie has a prelude or note attched to it saying why it was chosen and what makes it great. TE always uses the saints crest, usally beacuse the family uses it too.

Book One: Walden
The book includes all original text by Thoreau, but an forword by Ernst Villanova -


 * While reading this book as a teenager I did not appricate the fact that somone would live like this. But later on in my life I relized somthing about this book. It wasn't that he was a transcendenalist, but he was making a statement in his time. I loved that he protested taxes that were plan stupid and fought for the right when most other people didn't agree. Basically it's an essential to any person.

Book Two: And Then There Were None
The book includes all orginal text by Agatha Christie but instead of a forword it includes the poem in the book, on old parchment:


 * ''Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine;

One choked his little self and then there were nine.''


 * ''Nine little Soldier boys sat up very late;

One overslept himself and then there were eight.''


 * ''Eight little Soldier boys traveling in Devon;

One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.''


 * ''Seven little Soldier boys chopping up sticks;

One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.''


 * ''Six little Soldier boys playing with a hive;

A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.''


 * ''Five little Soldier boys going in for law;

One got in Chancery and then there were four.''


 * ''Four little Soldier boys going out to sea;

A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.''


 * ''Three little Soldier boys walking in the zoo;

A big bear hugged one and then there were two.''


 * ''Two Little Soldier boys sitting in the sun;

One got frizzled up and then there was one.''


 * ''One little Soldier boy left all alone;

He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.''
