The Ex-Classics Web Site In Preparation The Game of Chess, by William Caxton. One of the very first books printed in England, this was an allegory where the history of the game, the pieces and their moves, are subsumed into an allegory of life and correct behaviour by all stations of society. Our version will be a translation from the original 15th-Century English into modern vocabulary, spelling and syntax. Diary of a Lover of Literature, by Thomas Green Thomas Green kept this diary, containing reviews of everything he read for over thirty years. Some of it was published in book form in 1810. We already have this book version of this diary -- at https://www.exclassics.com/diary/diaryintro.htm. Further extracts for the diary were published in the  Gentleman's Magazine in the 1830s, and these will be added to our site. Our Town, by Patrick Sugrue. Generations of Irish schoolchildren have had to read An Baile Seo 'Gainne by "An Seabhac," First published in 1912, it is a collection of humorous or wry sketches and stories. There is however no English translation available -- until ours.
