  Once again, the cat must save the day 
   
   
   
  Ben who rides dragons is twice a hero. He's defeated all kinds of demons and learned how to transform into a chimera. That's powerful stuff for a mere cat. 
   
   
   
  Oh, how proud his ancestors would be if they saw him today. 
   
   
   
  In fact, he's far too powerful for Astravar, the mighty warlock and Ben's nemesis, who can't stand the thought of being defeated by a mere moggie. But now he has allied with the other warlocks and together they have a plan to destroy the kingdom. 
   
   
   
  Obviously, when the warlocks attack, everyone's going to turn to the mighty Dragoncat for help. That's the problem with being a hero, you see. When threats loom on the horizon, everyone expects said hero to step up to the plate and save the day. 
   
   
   
  Alas, war involves giving up a lot of home comforts, and Ben doesn't like that one bit.

  History of England

  Jane Austen

  Jane Austen's existence embodies a profound juxtaposition of her illustrious literary endeavors and an ostensibly mundane public persona. Born in the quaint environs of Steventon, Hampshire, she was the product of a domestically-conducted education under the tutelage of her clerical father. Her life was marked by an unwavering familial devotion. Following a brief sojourn in the cosmopolitan city of Bath, Austen's family circumstances necessitated a return to their ancestral abode in Steventon, where she remained until her demise at the relatively young age of 41. Despite the apparent banality of her daily existence, her literary prowess burgeoned in this very setting, shrouded in secrecy. 
  Austen's nascent fascination with the art of novel-writing manifested early in her life, as she penned narratives that offered a satirical commentary on both the contemporary authors and the social mores of the late 18th century. Her novels, suffused with wit and incisive observation, served as a scathing yet engaging critique of the era's literary landscape. Her corpus is replete with masterpieces such as "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), "Mansfield Park" (1814), and "Emma" (1816), which masterfully dissect the social interactions and foibles of the 19th-century middle class. Her acuity for capturing the absurdities of human conduct is particularly evident in these works, which have endured as timeless reflections of societal norms. 
  In the annals of British letters, Austen stands as an adored and venerated figure, celebrated for her astute social commentary and her unparalleled contribution to the novel form. Her enduring popularity is a testament to the universal appeal of her narratives, which transcend temporal and cultural boundaries to resonate with readers across generations.

  It’s a quiet English village—except for one crazed murderer—in this delightful romp by the author of the Constable Mavis Upton series. Librarian Prunella Pearce has left heartbreak behind to start a new life in the village of Winterbottom, where there’s little social life to be had aside from the meetings of The Winterbottom Women’s Institute at the parish hall. But a bit of excitement ensues when the group is about to elect a new president—and the nominees for the position begin dropping like flies. One is found facedown in a lemon drizzle cake, stabbed with a crochet needle. Another nearly dies spectacularly in the revolving doors of a Harrogate hotel. When Pru and her friend Bree agree to do some undercover snooping to help the police, little do they know that one of the Winterbottom women is hiding a scandalous secret . . .
