The Earl of Saxham was vastly annoyed when his son, Guy, fell in love with a "penniless nobody," and announced that he would marry her against all opposition. He determined to separate the lovers; to which end he persuaded an influential friend in the Foreign Office to secure an appointment for Guy in the Embassy at Madrid. He little knew that he was sending his son into the centre of a hotbed of anarchism, that Guy's footsteps were to be dogged by a vindictive and revengeful woman, that his life was to hold many a thrilling moment and not a few narrow escapes.Mostra libro

The quirky citizens of Slacksville are back in another sidesplitting adventure in the well-received series reviewers call “refreshingly witty” and "extremely imaginative.” There’s a thief in Slacksville! Officer John Cop is stumped in trying to nab the mysterious culprit known as Peep who has been pilfering Slacksville’s citizens along with his criminal gang. When he makes a plea to the people for help, he gets all kinds of inexpert “superheroes” coming out of the woodwork to flex their…erm…talents. Can these misfits work together to bring peace to Slacksville? Reminiscent of funny favorites including The Adventures of Captain Underpants, the Wayside School series, and My Weird School. The Tales from Slacksville Series can be read in any order.Mostra libro
