  Our New Neighbors at Ponkapog

  Thomas Bailey Aldrich

  In a quiet corner of rural New England, a newly built cottage appears along an old country road—and with it, a pair of neighbors who seem determined to live apart from the village that surrounds them. 
  Told through the amused, watchful eye of a local narrator, Our New Neighbors at Ponkapog is a gently ironic portrait of curiosity, manners, and the subtle dramas that unfold when privacy meets polite scrutiny. As the young couple settles into their secluded life, questions arise—not dramatic ones, but the kind born of daily observation: Who are they? How do they live? And why do they remain so carefully out of reach? 
  Thomas Bailey Aldrich’s short story blends pastoral calm with quiet wit, capturing the rhythms of late-19th-century New England and the universal human impulse to wonder about the lives just beyond our own gates. Observant, restrained, and quietly humorous, this classic work reveals how even the most peaceful landscapes can stir speculation—and how little we truly know of those we think we see. 
  Narrated by Robert Jackson, this recording brings Aldrich’s refined prose and understated charm vividly to life.

  Like On Tyranny, but with cats, this is the ultimate guide to channeling feline wisdom in the face of authoritarian nonsense.   Cats, the original masters of stealth, sass, and strategic chaos, have been teaching us survival tactics for centuries—they just haven’t been this explicit about it. Until now.   Through humor, sharp insights, and unapologetic defiance, LESSONS FROM CATS FOR SURVIVING FASCISM lays out eleven essential cat-inspired strategies for resisting control and reclaiming power. From staying nimble and unpredictable to demanding what you need with the confidence of a hungry tabby, each chapter is packed with lessons that are as subversive as they are practical.   Whether you’re facing off against a system that thrives on control or just trying to make sense of a chaotic world, these lessons will arm you with the tools—and the attitude—you need to fight back. Cats don’t ask for permission, and neither should you.

  In this latest installment in the beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, Grace Makutsi encounters a pair of quandaries that will require all of her and Mma Ramotswe’s insight and intuition to resolve.  
   
  Grace Makutsi’s husband, Phuti Radiphuti, is in a bind. An international firm is attempting to undercut his prices in the office furniture market. Phuti has always been concerned with quality and comfort, but this firm seems interested only in  
  profits. To make matters worse, they have a slick new advertising campaign that seems hard to beat. 
   
  Meanwhile, Grace is approached by an old friend who has a troubled son. She and Phuti agree to take Patience and Modise in and lend a hand, but things don’t work out quite as intended, and the situation proves difficult for them to handle. It will  
  require not only all of their persistence and dedication but also help from an unexpected quarter to find a solution that will make everyone happy. 
   
  Faced with more than her fair share of delicate dilemmas, Mma Makutsi deals with it all with her usual graciousness. This—along with the kindness, generosity, and good sense for which the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency is known—assures  
  us that, in the end, each of these matters will be set right.

  Amusing tales showing the effectiveness of advertising some rather questionable products. Perkins and the narrator partner in promotions directed at a gullible and willing public. Unlike most tales of the kind, with moralistic endings where the 'sharps' come to grief, Perkins and Co. become wealthy and quite pleased with themselves. (Summary by Arnold Banner)
