Deep in the English countryside, Marshwood has always been much more than just a house. It has been a place to escape to and a trap, the backdrop for elegant parties and a wartime hospital, an idyllic escape from trauma and unhappy marriages.

An automobile breakdown strands Nero Wolfe and Archie in the middle of a private pasture - and a family feud over a prize bull. A restaurateur`s plan to buy the stud and barbecue it as a publicity stunt may be in poor taste, but it isn`t a until Hickory Casear Grindon, the soon-to-be-beefsteak bull, is found pawing the remains of a family scion. Wolfe is sure the idea that Caesar is the murderer is, well, pure bull. Now the great detective is on the horns of a dilemma as a veritable stampede of suspects - including a young lady Archie has his eye on - conceals a special breed of killer who wins a blue ribbon for sheer audacity.
Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn`t exactly glamorous, but it was mine.

Try a refreshing "Dip in the Pool" and savour the delights of "Skin", follow "Galloping Foxley" and sample a little "Poison". This collection, one of Roald Dahl`s earliest, is guaranteed to appeal to "Someone Like You". In the opening story, "Taste", the stakes of a dinner-party bet reach distasteful heights, and a wife serves up a new dish in "Lamb to the Slaughter" which goes down well with the boys in blue. Layers of deceit are stripped away in "Nunc Dimittis", but what is revealed is far from honest. Meanwhile the "Man from the South" questions whether you really do need the little finger on your left Vendettas and desperate quests, bitter memories and sordid fantasies thwarted - here are fifteen reasons why Roald Dahl is the master...

Something of Myself, Rudyard Kipling’s memoir of his writing life, was composed in the year before he died and published posthumously. Its spare, polished phrases and masterly anecdotes offer a unique insight into the mind of this divided man who upheld the Victorian imperialist values of duty, patriotism and obedience, and yet sympathized with outlaws and children. Kipling describes with unforgettable vividness his bitter childhood years in the ‘House of Desolation’, his apprenticeship to the craft of writing through the hard grind of journalism in British India, his beloved parents and his pride in his own work. Reissued with a new introduction by Jan Montefiore, author of the brilliant recent study ‘Rudyard Kipling’, this...
