Sinopse

In "The Case for Letitia Carberry, Tish," Mary Roberts Rinehart weaves a captivating narrative that follows the adventurous escapades of the indomitable Letitia Carberry, affectionately known as Tish. Rinehart's distinctive style combines elements of detective fiction and humor, creating a delightful atmosphere where mystery and whimsy intertwine. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story reflects the social dynamics and burgeoning independence of women during this transformative period, as Tish, with her audacious spirit, becomes an archetype of the modern female sleuth. Mary Roberts Rinehart, often heralded as the 'American Agatha Christie,' was a prolific writer whose works spanned multiple genres, including mystery and romance. Having experienced significant personal and societal changes in her lifetime, Rinehart drew upon her observations of female agency and societal expectations to create complex, relatable characters. "Tish," initially appearing in a series of short stories, evolved into this full-length novel, displaying Rinehart's keen understanding of her audience's desire for engaging and strong female protagonists. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of humor and mystery, particularly those looking to explore early representations of female empowerment in literature. Rinehart's skillful prose and the endearing charm of Tish will not only entertain but also provoke thoughtful reflection on the evolving roles of women in society.

    P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.   Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including eight short stories from the anthology "My Man, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("My Man Jeeves" also features four stories surrounding Reggie Pepper, an early Bertie Wooster prototype.).  Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.
