  King Alban was a good king, ruling over Albanatolia with kindness, fairness, and above all, efficiency, thanks to the white magic. Everyone had enough to wear, enough to eat, enough to do, and had their washing done for free at the Palace, on Mondays from 10 to 4. One day, the king's lavish and vain long-lost brother returned to the kingdom to bring a bit of colour to the realm with his own particular brand of magic, while stirring up discontent among the citizens, so that he might take the throne for himself.  This amusing allegory by E. Nesbit explores themes of political propaganda, populism and responsible leadership, all told with Nesbit's signature charm, wit and whimsy. The Plush Usurper was first published in Nine Unlikely Tales, 1901.

Four decades have passed, and the glory days of mob rule have waned. As drugs replace the mob’s traditional revenue streams and the FBI looks to bring down the Fortunatos, Angelo finds himself on the outside with the current administration, essentially, “on the shelf.” He spends his days pining over a waitress at the local diner and reminiscing with a one-legged former colleague in a nursing home.Angelo was a man of honor in a world that he now barely recognizes.But when the FBI shows up, Angelo realizes the past is far from dead and buried.
