April 1193. England`s King Richard Lionheart languishes in a German prison, and treason scents the air.

Amid such fateful events, the murder of a Welsh peddler`s daughter seems small. But the cruel demise of the beautiful Melangell so troubles Justin that not even a threatened French invasion can keep him from investigating her death. Yet can he bring Melangell`s craven killer to justice?

Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma`s belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding--remembered forever by the incomparable Ray Bradbury. "Bradbury is an authentic original." - "Time"

This superb new translation of "Death in Venice" and six other stories by Thomas Mann is a tour de force, sure to establish itself as the definitive text for English-speaking readers. The seven stories in this collection represent the early part of Mann`s literary career, beginning with work he produced in 1896 at the age of 21, and culminating in his most celebrated novella, "Death in Venice" (1912).

In these stories, Mann began to grapple with themes that were to recur throughout his work. In the first piece, "Little Herr Friedemann", as in "Death in Venice", a character`s carefully structured way of life...
