  When Angela Marchmont’s motor-car runs off the road in the fog-bound Romney Marsh, she stumbles upon the body of a young woman hidden in a ditch, her face so badly disfigured that identification seems impossible. 
    
  Who was she? Why was she left in that lonely spot? And why did someone go to such lengths to ensure she would never be recognised? 
    
  Angela’s search for answers leads her from the eccentric household at Gipsy’s Mile to the great estate of Blakeney Park, and from there to one of London’s most fashionable—and disreputable—night-clubs. 
    
  As she enters a world of jazz music, illegal drinking and lost souls, Angela soon discovers that the dead woman’s past may be far more disturbing than anyone imagined. 
    
  A classic 1920s mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and traditional British whodunits.

  The Wood Beyond the World

  The Wood beyond the World is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with the element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present-day fantasy literature. His use of archaic language has been seen by some modern readers as making his fiction difficult to read, but brings a wonderful atmosphere to the telling.Morris considered his fantasies a revival of the medieval tradition of chivalrous romances. In consequence, they tend to have sprawling plots of strung-together adventures. In this story, Walter leaves his father and his own unfaithful wife and sets sail in search of adventure.  This he finds aplenty, encountering love, treachery and magic in the Wood of the title and in travelling through the Mountains of the Folk of the Bears. But can he find happiness and peace by means of his Quest?Read by Cori Samuel.  Edited by Mandarine. Summary by Cori with reference to Wikipedia.
