  When Elizabeth Bennet meets Fitzwilliam Darcy for the first time at a ball, she writes him off as an arrogant and obnoxious man. He not only acts like an insufferable snob, but she also overhears him rejecting the very idea of asking her for a dance! As life pits them against each other again and again, Darcy begins to fall for Elizabeth's wit and intelligence and Elizabeth begins to question her feelings about Darcy. But when Darcy saves her youngest sister Lydia from a scandal, Elizabeth starts to wonder if her pride has prejudiced her opinion of Darcy. Through this tale about two warring hearts, Jane Austen weaves a witty satire about life in eighteenth century England. And though it was published more than two centuries ago, Pride and Prejudice continues to enthrall readers to this very day.

  The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle is one of 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the seventh story of twelve in the collection The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine in January 1892.As London prepares for Christmas, newspapers report the theft of the near-priceless gemstone, the "Blue Carbuncle", from the hotel suite of the Countess of Morcar. John Horner, a plumber and a previously convicted felon, is soon arrested for the theft. Despite Horner's claims of innocence, the police are sure that they have their man. Horner's record, and his presence in the Countess's room where he was repairing a fireplace, are all the police need.Just after Christmas, Watson pays a visit to Holmes at 221B Baker Street. He finds the detective contemplating a battered old hat brought to him by the commissionaire, Peterson. Both the hat and a Christmas goose had been dropped by a man in a scuffle with some street ruffians. The honest Peterson had sought Holmes's help in returning the items to their owner but although the goose bears a tag with the owner's name—Henry Baker—based on the number of people with this name in London there is little hope of finding the man. Peterson takes the goose home for dinner, and Holmes keeps the hat to study as an intellectual exercise.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle's: "A Study in Scarlet", "Silver Blaze", "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Yellow Face", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Red-Headed League", A Case of Identity", "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", "The Five Orange Pips", "The Man with the Twisted Lip", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Speckled Band", "The Engineer's Thumb", "The Noble Bachelor", "The Beryl Coronet", "The Copper Beeches" and many more.

  Curious if true

  "I had a feeling that I was in the presence of those who had lived for centuries."
  
  While traveling through the dense forests of France, a pragmatic Englishman named Richard Whittingham loses his way and stumbles upon a mysterious chateau. Inside, he is invited to a grand soirée populated by an assembly of aristocrats who seem strangely familiar. As the evening unfolds, he realizes he is a guest at a living reunion of legendary figures—from a sleeping lady just awakened to a gentleman with a penchant for glass slippers. Elizabeth Gaskell, the celebrated author of Northport and South, trades industrial realism for a sparkling, eerie, and witty deconstruction of the world's most famous folklore.
  
  A Sophisticated Literary Game: Curious, if true is a delight for lovers of intertextuality. Gaskell treats these mythical characters as aging French nobles, bound by the rigid etiquette of the 19th century. Through Whittingham's bewildered eyes, we see how the "happily ever after" would actually function in a society obsessed with lineage, marriage contracts, and social standing.
  
  Gaskell's Hidden Masterpiece: Often overlooked in favor of her larger novels, this story proves Gaskell's immense range. It balances a sense of "Gothic" atmosphere—the dark forest, the ancient house—with a sharp, satirical bite. It is a precursor to modern "fractured fairy tales," exploring the humanity, the vanity, and the lingering magic behind the legends we think we know.
  
  Step through the shadows of the forest and into the salon of legends. Purchase "Curious, if true" today and discover a different side of Elizabeth Gaskell.
