George, Harris, Jerome and Montmorency, a fox terrier, are spending an evening smoking and discussing illnesses they fancy they suffer from. They conclude they are all overworked and need a holiday. The three decide on a boating holiday up the River Thames. Initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, the humour and witty adventures transformed the story into once of the most admirable comic novels of all times.

Oedipus enters the village of Colonus and sits down on a stone. They are approached by a villager, who demands that they leave, because that ground is sacred to the Furies, or Erinyes. Oedipus recognizes this as a sign, for when he received the prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother, Apollo also revealed to him that at the end of his life he would die at a place sacred to the Furies, and be a blessing for the land in which he is buried.

In some Worlds, Society depends on Technology to expand its horizons. In the Victorian world of the Wonder, Magic is the leading light. It powers an Empire through an Industrial Revolution towards boundless possibilities, including the invasion and colonisation of any neighbours who may have reserves of Magic themselves. In the follow-up to Blood Red, heroes and villains are forced together to defend their world against a smoke belching threat believed extinct for centuries. Despite the use of ancient magic and unlikely allies, a far-flung colony is forced to its knees as betrayal and treachery spread like a virus on both sides of an old war.

She longed to get away from the house, to sit in the shade and rest her heart with thoughts of the baby which was to be born to her in another two months.
