Synopsis

In "The Cassowary; What Chanced in the Cleft Mountains," Stanley Waterloo masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intricate interplay between man and nature, set against the breathtaking backdrop of a remote mountainous region. The book unfolds as an adventure tinged with philosophical musings, showcasing Waterloo's vivid prose and keen observations of the natural world. Through rich descriptions and immersive storytelling, he captures the essence of the landscape while interrogating themes of survival, isolation, and the indomitable spirit of exploration framed within the late 19th-century American literary context, where nature often served as both a setting and a character in its own right. Waterloo, an American author embedded in the literary movements of his time, was known for his penchant for adventure and exploration, both of which permeate this work. His deep appreciation for nature's majesty and mystery likely stemmed from his own experiences with the wilderness, as he spent considerable time in various landscapes, fostering a connection that becomes palpable in the narrative. This context enriches the reader's understanding of the motivations behind the characters' journeys and the existential inquiries that emerge amidst their challenges. I highly recommend "The Cassowary" to readers who appreciate richly textured narratives that delve into the human condition intertwined with nature. This book will resonate with those who seek both the thrill of adventure and contemplative reflections on humanity's place in the world, making it an essential read for fans of American literature and nature writing alike.

    Christmas crimes hit close to home for Boston's favorite art sleuths. "Charlotte MacLeod's mysteries are witty and full of humor" (Maine Crime Writers). 
     
     
     
    The angry old men of the Comrades of the Convivial Codfish club celebrate yuletide doing what they do best: eating, drinking, and greeting the season of giving with a spirited "bah, humbug!" Though well past sixty, Jem Kelling is a relative infant compared to some of the club's elder statesmen, and he has waited decades to host their annual Christmas scowl. And during his first evening as Exalted Chowderhead, he is thrilled to find the wine abundant, the chowder superb, and the humbugs as lusty as ever. But as the night winds down, Jem is horrified to find that the ceremonial Codfish necklace has vanished—right off of his neck! His nephew-in-law, art investigator Max Bittersohn, is convinced his new uncle was the victim of a practical joke. But when the old man takes a hip-snapping tumble, Max is forced to conclude that one of the scrooges is trying to perpetrate a deadly Christmas jeer.
