Delphi Complete Works of Josephine Tey (Illustrated) by Josephine Tey Pdf
The Scottish novelist and playwright Josephine Tey, pseudonym of Elizabeth Mackintosh, wrote popular detective novels praised for their warm and engaging style. They feature the indefatigable Inspector Grant, whose cases often involve the darker side of humanity, as Tey’s works fashioned a bridge between the Golden Age of Detective Fiction and contemporary crime novels. Her masterpiece ‘The Daughter of Time’ sees Grant investigating the role of Richard III of England in the death of the Princes in the Tower. It went on to win the prestigious distinction of being the greatest crime novel of all time, as judged by the Crime Writers' Association, even eclipsing the works of Doyle, Sayers, Chandler and Christie. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Tey’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Collected Works of Josephine Tey. Illustrated by Josephine Tey Pdf
Josephine Tey was a pseudonym used by Elizabeth MacKintosh, which was the name of her Suffolk great-great grandmother. Her novel The Daughter of Time was a detective work investigating the role of Richard III of England in the death of the Princes in the Tower, and named as the greatest crime novel of all time by the Crime Writers' Association. Her first play Richard of Bordeaux, written under another pseudonym, Gordon Daviot, starred John Gielgud in its successful West End run. In five of the mystery novels, all of which except the first she wrote under the name of Tey, the hero is Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant. The Franchise Affair also has an historical context: although set in the 1940s, it is based on the 18th-century case of Elizabeth Canning. The Daughter of Time was the last of Tey's books published during her lifetime. Her last work, a further crime novel, The Singing Sands, was found in her papers and published posthumously. Author’s works include: • THE MAN IN THE QUEUE • A SHILLING FOR CANDLES • THE FRANCHISE AFFAIR • TO LOVE AND BE WISE • THE DAUGHTER OF TIME • THE SINGING SANDS • MISS PYM DISPOSES • BRAT FARRAR • KIF: AN UNVARNISHED HISTORY • THE EXPENSIVE HALO • RICHARD OF BORDEAUX • THE PRIVATEER

Magpie Alert by Darryl Jones Pdf
Wherever people live in Australia, magpies tend to be found there, too. These very familiar birds are one of our most loved and admired wild birds. Yet, during the breeding season, many magpies become extremely aggressive toward people, sometimes causing serious injury or distress, especially to children. The fact that this is a very common, well loved yet sometimes dangerous neighbor makes solving the magpie-human conflict very complicated. This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive guide to everything that is known about this bird, why it attacks, and what we can do about it.
