  Mrs. Peerybingle is bright and sharp as a tack. Her husband John is a carrier, a profession as lumbering and sturdy as he is himself. When the crafty Tackleton seeks to cause mischief to forward his own nefarious plans, John’s steady heart is sorely wounded. Luckily there is a cricket on the hearth to act as a guardian angel for all of them.  
   
  A huge commercial success when it was first published in 1845, this Christmas fantasy is a lovely portrait of Victorian life, “crammed with extra bonbons, French plums and sweetness.” (-William Makepeace Thackeray)

  The Top Ten -  Saki - An Introduction 
   
  The name H H Munro is obscured beneath the literary mantle of his nom de plume; Saki.  A writer of his times, the stories perfectly portray society’s whims and tastes in a delicate yet at times, barbed humour.  A divine wit who conjured words into quite extraordinary works. 
   
  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

  History of Herodotus The - Book...

  Herodotus, George Rawlinson

  One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
  BOOK 7: POLYMNIA: Now when tidings of the battle that had been fought at Marathon reached the ears of King Darius, the son of Hystaspes, his anger against the Athenians, which had been already roused by their attack upon Sardis, waxed still fiercer, and he became more than ever eager to lead an army against Greece.

  In this volume our authors, from all the social classes, make their observations on life as they journey through a fascinating decade of need and greed.  What they reveal may be all in hindsight for us but through their words, the reality of their prose the decade is beautifully dissected and captured.
