Excerpt from The Heiress of Haddon The story of Dorothy Vernon's romantic wooing and marriage is known in some legendary form or other all the kingdom over, but more especially in the Midlands, and in Derbyshire, where this interesting drama was enacted some 300 years ago. Few people, however, know more than the merest outline of the event, which is here detailed in a highly interesting form, and offered as a complete and historical romance. Probably nothing more fascinating exists in the annals of English History than the story, telling how the estates of Haddon became the property of the ducal house of Rutland. This is here fully related, together with an account of the trials which Dorothy and her lover had to undergo, in a courtship which was forbidden on the one hand by the lady's father, Sir George Vernon - the King of the Peak - and opposed by the machinations of a jealous lover on the other. Much of the interest of the tale is centred in the neighbour hood of Haddon and the surrounding district, and scenes of importance are also enacted at Derby, Matlock, Rowsley, Dale Abbey, ashby-de-la-zouch, London, and Nottingham. In the course of the story many Old English Customs of that period are described. The story is already favourably known, having appeared in serial form in the High Peak News.

Excerpt from A Good Match, the Heiress of Drosberg, and the Cathedral Chorister, Vol. 3 of 3 As they proceeded through the crowded street, vague rumours reached their ears of the King's murder; but every report they heard contra dicted the other, as nothing was yet known for certain. They passed the Durazzo palace, and here the populace was gathered in multitudes, h0ping, perhaps, to obtain more intelligence near the abode of the Queen's sister; or per haps their object was to hail her as their Queen for it was believed' by some that Joanna had committed suicide after murdering her husband; and Long live Queen Maria was shouted occasionally by some of the more impatient among the people.

Prepare to be amused, bewildered, and perhaps a little disturbed. Saki's "The Chronicles of Clovis" introduces you to a world of Edwardian eccentricity and sharp wit. Clovis Sangrail, the titular character, is a master of the unexpected, a connoisseur of the absurd. Through his eyes, you'll witness the foibles of high society, the absurdity of human behavior, and the dark humor that lurks beneath the surface. Each story is a miniature masterpiece of satire, leaving you questioning the sanity of both the characters and the narrator. Buckle up for a wild ride through the mind of a literary mischief-maker.

"Beasts and Super-Beasts is a collection of short stories, written by Saki (the literary pseudonym of Hector Hugh Munro) and first published in 1914. The title parodies that of George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman.Along with The Chronicles of Clovis, Beasts and Super-Beasts is one of Saki's best-known works. It was his final collection of stories before his death in World War I, and several of its stories, in particular ""The Open Window"", are reprinted frequently in anthologies.The majority of the volume's stories deal in some fashion with animals, providing the source for its title. The character of Clovis Sangrail, featured in earlier works by Saki, appears in several stories. Most of the stories appeared previously in periodicals.Stylistically, Beasts and Super-Beasts displays the simple language, cynicism and wry humor that characterize Saki's earlier literary output."
