Summary

"Candle flames flicker in the lamps on the flanks of our governess cart as a silver moon and sprinkled stars illuminate the driveway ahead." 
This collection of short stories begins with a midnight cart drive through the snow to Midnight Mass. Other true and fictional tales of horses follow, based on Hilary's personal experiences with her son's naughty Welsh Mountain pony and a huge catalog of embarrassing incidents with her own equines. 
This selection includes humorous accounts of what can go wrong at a show, sudden swimming pool accidents, uninvited horse entry into church, rescuing an unwanted racehorse and how a skinny neurotic Thoroughbred mare became the author's equine soulmate. 
If there's one thing Hilary has learned, it's that you never know what might happen next with horses.
Available since: 11/12/2019.

    New York Times bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver delivers a collection of 12 original tales in Homeland and Other Stories that are every bit as emotionally resonant, humorous, and heartfelt as her much-beloved novels. 
In settings ranging from eastern Kentucky to northern California and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Barbara Kingsolver uses her distinctive voice and vast knowledge of human nature to address some of her favorite themes: the importance of personal and cultural heritage; how the past effects the present and the enduring power of love. Kingsolver’s characters, many single mothers, struggle to make sense of their lives and find meaning in a difficult world. 
Praised for her memorable characters and poetic prose, Kingsolver again proves why she is a literary force to be reckoned with. 
This edition includes a P.S. section with additional insights from the author, background material, suggestions for further reading, and more.

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was the preeminent figure in late 19th-century detective fiction. A physician by profession, he soon found such popularity as a writer of detective stories that his writing was far more profitable than his medical practice.In The Adventure of the Three Garridebs, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are faced with a very unusual case. A certain Mr. Nathan Garrideb, living a reclusive life in London, has been visited by a Mr. John Garrideb from America. The American explains that a late eccentric millionnaire of the same name as the two of them has left a will with a most peculiar bequest. He will receive one-third of the entire fortune if he can find two other men whose name is also Garrideb.Now that the two have made contact, they only have to track down a third Garrideb, and each will receive $5 million. Sherlock Holmes listens to the story of the first two Garridebs and realizes that something is amiss...but what? With Dr. Watson in tow, he sets out to unravel the mystery.
