Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various authors, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Archivist Nora Vass arrives to document the estate of a man who died alone on a sinking island; she braced herself for the usual melancholy of an unremembered existence. What she discovers makes her freeze in her tracks.For thirty years, Thomas Lear poured his heart into a novel about a woman he'd only imagined. He built her a library, filled with the scent of old paper and polished wood. He stored away the recollections of her hands, like precious keepsakes. He described, with quiet and devastating precision, a pale, thin line that marred the skin on her left wrist.Nora has that scar.Nora and Thomas had never met. His understanding was beyond reason, and asking him was impossible since Thomas had died in January, four days prior to the ferry's arrival.She Exists is a love story that unfolds with a gentle, unhurried pace, leaving a deep and touching impression. It asks what it means to be known by someone before you've met. Love, does it need someone there, or is the accurate and unwavering form of attentiveness enough? Could a woman whose life has been defined by measurement finally find peace in simply existing?Consider this a tribute to every reader who has experienced that profound recognition from a stranger, and to every woman who has arrived somewhere and been struck by the sudden, absolute knowledge that she was home.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Following her successful first novel "White Lace, Black Ice", Fielding's writing debut of her rhythmic, mob-escaping, romantic adventure, "The Portrait", her second novel, unfolds as a pulsing coming-of-age romance filled with heartfelt moments and young love set against the backdrop of a bustling, vibrant Coney Island. The story, a delicate dance between innocence and experience, follows Cali, a girl haunted by a mysterious past, and CJ, a charming artist with secrets of his own, as they navigate the exhilarating, and often treacherous, currents of first love amidst the flashing lights and echoing laughter of Coney Island. As the salty air whipped around them, carrying the scent of fried dough and something indefinably wild, Cali found herself drawn to CJ's quiet intensity. His eyes, the color of a stormy sea, held glimpses of a depth that both frightened and fascinated her.His touch, light as a feather, traced the edges of her anxieties. He'd paint the shadows that clung to her, the memories she couldn't outrun, capturing them on canvas, transforming fear into art. He'd coax the whispers from her soul, the unspoken dread that echoed in the quietest hours. Colors bloomed under his brush, vibrant and defiant. With each brushstroke, a battle was won, a fragment of her spirit reclaimed. The Portrait is an intense love story that will stay with you long after the last page is read.
