 stock image, actual book may vary "For centuries to come, this book will inspire imaginative people. Beyond all doubt, it will be an ingredient of future poetry." Rebecca West "It may be read with a great deal of simple enjoyment and then it sticks like a splinter in the mind." Angela Carter "It seems to me a perfect, utterly original novel, and no one but a poet could have written it The book is totally idiosyncratic and yet there isn't a line you couldn't identify yourself with." Harry Mathews Miss M., the narrator of these fictional memoirs, is a diminutive young woman though just how diminutive, the author never says with a "passion for shells, fossils, flints, butterflies, and stuffed animals." Miss M. tells of her early life as a dreamy orphan and, in particular, of her tempestuous twentieth year in which she falls in love with a beautiful and ambitious full-sized woman and is courted by a male dwarf. Concluding that she must choose either to simply tolerate her difference or grow callous to it, Miss M. resolves to become independent by offering herself up as a spectacle in a circus. "One of the strangest and most enchanting works of fiction ever written." Alison Lurie, from her foreword "De la Mare's masterpiece It acts upon the reader like a ghostly visitation, at once unsettling and revelatory." Washington Post "Here is a great book." New York Times Book Review "Sentences, pages, whole chapters cause us to catch our breath." Atlantic Monthly "After a long period of neglect de la Mare may be beginning to be seen as the remarkable writer that he is." John Bayley, New York Review of Books Walter de la Mare 1873 1956 wrote numerous novels, short stories, essays, and poems. He was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Memoirs of a Midget . Other major works include the children s novel, The Three Royal Monkeys , Henry Brocken , and The Return . His book Desert Islands is also available from Paul Dry Books. Alison Lurie is the author of many highly praised novels as well as two collections of essays on children s literature, Don t Tell the Grown-Ups and Boys and Girls Forever . She has taught children s literature and folklore at Cornell University for many years.

 stock image, actual book may vary A man returns to the town where a baffling murder took place 27 years earlier, determined to get to the bottom of the story. Just hours after marrying the beautiful Angela Vicario, everyone agrees, Bayardo San Roman returned his bride in disgrace to her parents. Her distraught family forced her to name her first lover; and her twin brothers announced their intention to murder Santiago Nasar for dishonoring their sister. Yet if everyone knew the murder was going to happen, why did no one intervene to stop it? The more that is learned, the less is understood, and as the story races to its inexplicable conclusion, an entire society--not just a pair of murderers is put on trial.

 stock image, actual book may vary This astonishing book by the Nobel laureate Gabriel Garc a M rquez chronicles the 1990 kidnappings of ten Colombian men and women--all but one a journalist--by the Medell n drug boss Pablo Escobar. The carefully orchestrated abductions were Escobar's attempt to extort from the government its assurance that he, and other narcotics traffickers, would not be extradited to the United States if they were to surrender. From the highest corridors of government to the domain of the ruthless drug cartels, we watch the unfolding of a bizarre drama replete with fascinating characters: C sar Gaviria, the nation's cool and secretive president; Diana Turbay, a famous television journalist and magazine editor; three indomitable women who are imprisoned for miserable months in a small room with a light perpetually on; an eighty-two-year-old priest with a mission to bring the regime and the cartel to the negotiating table; and Escobar himself, the legendary drug baron who changes his bodyguards daily and maintains a private zoo with giraffes and hippos from Africa. All of this takes place in a country where presidential candidates and cabinet officers are routinely assassinated; where police go into the Medell n slums to murder boys they think may be working for Escobar; but where brave and honest citizens are trying desperately to make democracy survive. An international best-seller, News of a Kidnapping combines journalistic tenacity with the breathtaking language and perception that distinguish the writings of Gabriel Garc a M rquez. It draws us into a world that, like some phantasmagorical setting in a great Garc a M rquez novel, we can scarcely believe exists--but that continually shocks us with its cold, hard reality.
