Unicorns, Fey, & A Hardboiled Dame by Peter M. Ball Pdf

If you love hard-boiled detectives, dangerous fey, and cold cases that turn hot on a dime, then take this opportunity to introduce yourself to Peter M. Ball’s Miriam Aster stories. This omnibus collects the two books in Miriam Aster’s case files. HORN Award-winning author Peter M. Ball takes you into the world of exiled fey and dangerous magic in his cult novella Horn. Miriam Aster used to be a homicide cop, but a relationship with the queen of the fey and one too many off-the-books favours saw her drummed out of the force and pushed into private inquiry work. Now she’s burned out, barely coping, and all too happy to put her past behind her … until a late-night phone call pulls her in to consult in a recent murder. The victim is a young girl brutally murdered and infested with fey, and the killer is the one thing Aster knows should never be let loose on the mortal world. There’s a unicorn killing young women, and her former colleagues in the police department are ill-equipped to stop it. Unless Aster agrees to step back into the fey world, there’s going to be a lot more murders before things really hit the fan. BLEED Miriam Aster returns in a sequel to the cult hit Horn. Ten years ago, Miriam Aster agreed to kill three men in order to protect the secrets of the fey. It’s the greatest mistake of her life, and the reason she’s now a drunk PI instead of a homicide cop. As far as she’s concerned, the mistakes of her past stay in her past and the fey can go screw themselves. But when an old case comes back to haunt her and the spectres of the past loom in the shadows, Aster must join forces with a desperate stuntwoman and a talking cat to stop the half-breed sorcerer who needs Aster’s blood to exact revenge. Turns out there are worse things than committing murder…

The Unicorn Hunt by Dorothy Dunnett Pdf

With the bravura storytelling and pungent authenticity of detail she brought to her acclaimed Lymond Chronicles, Dorothy Dunnett, grande dame of the historical novel, presents The House of Niccolo series. The time is the 15th century, when intrepid merchants became the new knighthood of Europe. Among them, none is bolder or more cunning than Nicholas vander Poele of Bruges, the good-natured dyer's apprentice who schemes and swashbuckles his way to the helm of a mercantile empire. Scotland, 1468: a nation at the edge of Europe, a civilization on the threshold of the Modern Age. Merchants, musicians, politicians, and pageantry fill the court of King James III. In its midst, Nicholas seeks to avenge his bride's claim that she carries the bastard of his archenemy, Simon St. Pol. When she flees before Nicholas can determine whether or not the rumored child is his own—or exists at all—Nicholas gives chase. So begins the deadly game of cat and mouse that will lead him from the infested cisterns of Cairo to the misted canals of Venice at carnival. Breathlessly paced, sparkling with wit. The Unicorn Hunt confirms Dorothy Dunnett as the genre's finest practitioner.

Literary Cultures and Medieval and Early Modern Childhoods by Naomi J. Miller,Diane Purkiss Pdf

Building on recent critical work, this volume offers a comprehensive consideration of the nature and forms of medieval and early modern childhoods, viewed through literary cultures. Its five groups of thematic essays range across a spectrum of disciplines, periods, and locations, from cultural anthropology and folklore to performance studies and the history of science, and from Anglo-Saxon burial sites to colonial America. Contributors include several renowned writers for children. The opening group of essays, Educating Children, explores what is perhaps the most powerful social engine for the shaping of a child. Performing Childhood addresses children at work and the role of play in the development of social imitation and learning. Literatures of Childhood examines texts written for children that reveal alternative conceptions of parent/child relations. In Legacies of Childhood, expressions of grief at the loss of a child offer a window into the family’s conceptions and values. Finally, Fictionalizing Literary Cultures for Children considers the real, material child versus the fantasy of the child as a subject.
