Originally published in 1991, Reflecting on Miss Marple looks at the incongruous combination of violence, murder and a sweet, white-haired old lady, and examines why this makes such a potent but unlikely formula. The book is an astute and engaging account which reveals Miss Marple as a feminist heroine, triumphantly able to exploit contemporary prejudices against unmarried women in order to solve her case. The authors explore the inherent contradictions of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple novels, their social context, and their place in detective fiction as a whole.
In Fairyland, Chloe and her dog Raggie embark on an adventure to rescue the kidnapped Sandman from the clutches of the evil fairy Nyx. The Sandman plays a crucial role in maintaining harmony in Fairyland, making their mission vital for the realm's inhabitants. As they navigate challenges and uncover secrets, Chloe's bravery and bond with Raggie will be tested in this enchanting quest.
