The Mysteries of the Flowers (Classic Reprint) by Herbert Waldron Faulkner Pdf

Excerpt from The Mysteries of the Flowers When an imaginative child is born the Golden Age returns to fling its glamour over all earthly things. Fairies and all the little people of the mystic realm reawaken from their long sleep, infest once more the woods and dells, abide as of old in all the myriad flowers, and resume their sway over the insect world. Old legends become new truths in their telling, old magic renews its force and charm. It is neither a fortunate nor a happy state to be an only and a lonely child.

The Prime Minister's Secret Agent by Susan Elia MacNeal Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd, and Anne Perry comes a gripping mystery featuring intrepid spy and code breaker Maggie Hope. This time, the fallout of a deadly plot comes straight to her own front door. World War II rages on across Europe, but Maggie Hope has finally found a moment of rest on the pastoral coast of western Scotland. Home from an undercover mission in Berlin, she settles down to teach at her old spy training camp, and to heal from scars on both her body and heart. Yet instead of enjoying the quieter pace of life, Maggie is quickly drawn into another web of danger and intrigue. When three ballerinas fall strangely ill in Glasgow—including one of Maggie’s dearest friends—Maggie partners with MI-5 to uncover the truth behind their unusual symptoms. What she finds points to a series of poisonings that may expose shocking government secrets and put countless British lives at stake. But it’s the fight brewing in the Pacific that will forever change the course of the war—and indelibly shape Maggie’s fate. Praise for The Prime Minister’s Secret Agent “[A] stellar series . . .

In the City of Flowers by Emma Marshall Pdf

Excerpt from In the City of Flowers: Or, Adelaide's Awakening The Squire who reigned there was a gouty, irascible invalid, dependent on his wife for attention within doors, and on his agent, Mr. Smithers, for the management of his estate out of doors. His wife, Lady Mary Beauchamp, always seemed like a plant which gets neither sun nor air. She was tall and stately. Her face was pale, and she never wore any bright colours to relieve the monotony of her appearance. The Squire had no children by his second marriage, but there was a tradition in the town that his first wife had left him a son. Mystery shrouded the Squire's past. He had left Cruttwell Court for many years; when he returned to it, he brought the daughter of an Irish peer to be mistress of the house, and to minister to his whims, which seemed to increase in number every year.

Fear and Clothing by Jane Custance Baker Pdf

Through analyzing dress in detective fiction, Fear and Clothing reveals a cultural history of identity affected by the social upheaval caused by war. In-depth analysis of interwar publications by a comprehensive range of writers reveals readers' anxieties and fears about class, gender and race and how these changed over the period. Although read and written by both men and women, detective fiction was deemed at the time to be a masculine and high-status entertainment. However the literature demonstrates an admiration and acceptance of the woman's identity, performed during the Great War and continuing throughout the interwar period, as girl pal and female gentleman. In chapters that explore age, character, class, masculinity, performative womanhood and race, Jane Custance Baker exposes how dress was a status marker to both male and female readers, made anxious by social change brought about by war. Dress in detective fiction reveals a set of signs to be read, digested, and possibly employed to model the individual reader's personal dress choices. Fear and Clothing sheds new light on dress of the period, the social and cultural environment as depicted in the popular fiction genre in the early 20th century, and is of interest to researchers and scholars within dress history, literary and historical studies, as well as anyone who enjoys the history of detective fiction.

The Locust Flower and the Celibate by Pauline Brooks Quinton Pdf

Excerpt from The Locust Flower and the Celibate: Two Plays The crowd tramples on the wildflowers in the forest to find a restful spot for feast and danc ing. The poet kneels at the shrine of the same wild flowers, gently and reverently feasts the soul and not the senses, and departs with linger ing and loving farewells. The most completely beautiful appreciation of a play has ever been by the poet, who was often greater than the play itself, as he sat by the fireside on a winter's evening, too poor to have the lights and color, throng, music and the players; but who shut his eyes over the rhythmic lines and dreamed as the author had dreamed before him the sleet on the roof for his orchestra, the crackling fire for the diction of his players, the mystery of candle-light for his color!
