Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret · Benjamin Stevenson (Michael

Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret · Benjamin Stevenson (Michael

My name is  Ernest Cunningham. I’m not a detective. I just happen to have a knack for what makes mysteries and murderers tick. I’d hoped, this Christmas, that any killers out there might be willing to take a break for the holidays. I was wrong. So here I am, backstage at the Christmas show of world-famous magician  Rylan Blaze,  whose benefactor has just been murdered. From the magician’s assistant to the hypnotist, my suspects are all professional tricksters. Masters in the art of misdirection. My clues are even more of a mystery: A suspect covered in blood, with no memory of how it got there. A murder committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens. And an advent calendar. Because, you know. It’s Christmas. Solving the murder is the only gift I want this year. But can I catch a killer, and make it home for Christmas alive?

Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life · Ben Crystal & David Crystal

Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life · Ben Crystal & David Crystal

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late . With a quote for every day of the year, this beautiful book gathers the finest lines from the lesser-known corners of Shakespeare's plays and poems. While you may not be familiar with these 400-year-old phrases, you will be surprised by the immediate, easy resonance they have with modern day-to-day life and, hopefully, inspired to learn a few quotes, say them out loud, and drop them into conversation.   Each page bears a gift of Shakespearean delight, around which lies a treasure trove of trivia, miscellaneous fact, and opportunities for reflection. The Crystals, son and father, draw attention to points of daily life, literary, linguistic, and theatrical interest through their entertaining commentary. They offer notes of context for anyone who wants to know who originally said the words, in which play, and why. And finally, the authors provide three indexes, allowing readers to help find the right quote for a task, or to follow-up on a quote's original source. Shakespeare's words are a mirror for us to peer into, to see if any part of ourselves, familiar or strange, is visible. Each day as you read his lines, you'll get glimpses of loves you've known, jealousies you've felt, relationships you've had, and situations you've encountered that bring a smile, or a wince, of familiarity. Everyday Shakespeare  shares the simple lines that encapsulate the wondrous complexity of life, and the enduring appeal of the Bard.

Agnes Grey · Anne Bronte (Penguin Black Classics)

Agnes Grey · Anne Bronte (Penguin Black Classics)

The name of governess, I soon found, was a mere mockery… my pupils had no more notion of obedience than a wild, unbroken colt. When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meagre income and assert her independence. But Agnes’s enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr Weston, the sober young curate. Drawing on her own experience, Anne Brontë’s first novel offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open in Victorian society. This edition also includes Charlotte Brontë’s memoir of her sisters, the  Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell . Angeline Goreau examines Anne Brontë’s complex relationship with her sisters and her unhappy career as a governess as influences in writing  Agnes Grey .
