  Edith Nesbit

  Do you believe in magic? Caroline, Charles and Charlotte do, and nothing that happens during their summer holiday at their great uncle's house does anything to diminish that belief. There the Three C.'s find a wonderful garden and some very old books, resulting in escapades which do not necessarily please the grown-ups. E. Nesbit, as usual, transports us back to the hazy summer days of a well-to-do Edwardian childhood, liberally spiced with magic, humor and lessons learned. As Gore Vidal once wrote: ""...though a reading of E. Nesbit is hardly going to change the pattern of a nation, there is some evidence that the child who reads her will never be quite the same again, and that is probably a good thing."" Published more than 100 years ago, this is one of Nesbit's least-known children's books, out of print for many years but now it is finally back.

  Three Killer Thriller Quick Reads featuring villains you'll love to hate... 
  Enjoy a brief excursion into the warped mind of author, Will Patching, 'hosted' by award-winning narrator, Gary Furlong: 
  JUSTICE — A Crewell story (c35 mins) 
  A convict is tormented by his wife’s memory — and his lack of one…  
  OLD FLAME — A twisted tale of lust, obsession and revenge (c70 mins) 
  Will Tom Creed's obsession with his deceased 'old flame' leave him badly burned? 
  THE BUTCHER — A Cockney killer thriller (c45 mins) 
  Meet Antony Harding, psychopath. He'll make your skin crawl...  
  Why Short Shots? 
  If these dark and disturbingly twisted 'short shots' leave you wanting more, they will have achieved their purpose. 
  Some of the characters and themes of the author's novels in The Remorseless Trilogy were inspired by these mini-thrillers. In fact, vicious psychopath Antony Harding, eponymous 'star' of The Butcher, plays a major role in book two of that series, so if you feel the urge to meet this unreformed reprobate again, you may do so... 
  But be warned—like all this author's fictional works—his stories are not for the faint-hearted.

  This somewhat unpleasant tale, published as a novelette in the "Smart Set" in July 1920, relates a series of events that took place in the spring of the previous year. Each of the three events made a great impression upon F. Scott Fitzgerald. In life they were unrelated, except by the general hysteria of that spring which inaugurated the Age of Jazz, but in this story, he has tried to weave them into a pattern—a pattern which would give the effect of those months in New York as they appeared to at least one member of what was then the younger generation.
