Описание:
Tales of Old Japanese is a collection of five short stories of the older generation living in contemporary Japan. The author spent over 25 years living in the country, working as a writer and journalist. Some of his impressions of Japan and of the people who live there have been recorded in:
Keiko's House: An old house, its history, and the history of those who have lived there in the past.
Haircuts: When 92-year-old Mr Kato changes his barber, his life takes on a surprising new meaning.
Click: One photograph every day. The memories of twenty years, all neatly arranged in albums. Mrs Terada's camera sees everything.
Mrs Sakamoto's Grouse: When Mrs Sakamoto sees a new brand of whisky on the shelves of her local neighbourhood shop, the result is unexpected.
The Old House: Two boys play in the garden of a deserted house once owned by a notorious miser; which turns out not to be deserted after all.
Another discovery from the vaults of Cox and Co., the old London bank which had forwarded the Deed Box of John H Watson to the author last year. The Dispatch Box contains all manner of illuminating documents about Messrs. Holmes and Watson.
Of particular interest are what the author refers to as The Affair of the Vatican Cameos, the Reigate Poisoning Case, with a shocking conclusion, and a document apparently written by the man Holmes himself called 'the fourth smartest man in London', John Clay.
The boxes once belonging to Doctor Watson containing notes related to cases and adventures of his friend, Sherlock Holmes, are still not empty. Here we find five such adventures, four of which are mentioned in the original collections published through Watson's literary agent, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and brought together here.
The Adventure of the Broken Door is mentioned briefly (but not by that name), in The Norwood Builder.
The Adventure of the Green Dragon has an oriental flavour and is referenced (though the reference is obscure) in The Cardboard Box.
The Adventure of John Vincent Harden is mentioned in by name in the Solitary Cyclist.
The Adventure of the Copper Pins is mentioned (but not by that name) in The Five Orange Pips.
The Adventure of the Deceased Doctor is unusual, as it occurs some two and half years after His Last Bow, when Holmes and Watson are both serving their country in the Great War.
Описание: A short novella featuring the Mapp and Lucia characters originally created by E.F.Benson.

Описание:
Eleven stories in a darker mood from Hugh Ashton, the acclaimed author of the Deed Box and Dispatch-box of Sherlock Holmes adventures. Here he explores the theme of the unknown that lurks behind our everyday world, waiting for its chance to escape and wreak havoc. The settings range from a 16th-century Italian galley, through a 19th century country house, to the author's home city of Lichfield. Contains strong language and adult themes.
Bee-bee - a rag doll who helps her owner cope with life's ups and downs
What you find in a skip - it can be surprising
Babysitter - something nasty in the Coopers' woodshed
Time thieves - they steal time and dreams and energy
Ships in the night - "as night turned to day, he started to understand the truth"
Carnacki at Bunscombe Abbey - a sincere tribute to William Hope Hodgson's classic ghost-finder
The story that wrote itself - sometimes an author gets help from an unexpected source
Gianni Two-Pricks - be careful what you take from others - even when they're dead
Lady of the Dance - movement as message
Me and my Shadow - or is it really my shadow?
What Happens Afterwards? - when you die on the operating table, what's next?

Описание:
Brian Finch-Malloy: school chess and fencing champion, crack shot, former officer in the British Army's Coldstream Guards, and private in the army of the Confederacy.
He is now on the run from the British Secret Service, the Confederacy, and from Hermann Goering of the German National Socialist Workers' Party. Working with a group of Confederates and Germans, he must find a way to prevent an unholy alliance between President Jefferson Davis III's Confederate States of America and Adolf Hitler's Germany.
David Slater: private in the Army of the Confederacy, with talents for chess and calligraphy, both of which take him on unexpected adventures; to Germany, and in the Zeppelin Bismarck, where he meets Hitler, Goering, and other Nazi functionaries.
Beneath Gray Skies tells of a past that never happened, where the Confederacy survived into the 20th century, and a giant airship soars through the air, carrying a fabulous and mysterious treasure across the Atlantic.

The Case of the Missing Matchbox reveals the truth about the "remarkable worm, said to be unknown to science", which drove men to insanity.
The Case of the Cormorant takes Holmes and Watson to Cornwall, where dark doings are afoot, which nevertheless must be kept hidden from the public.
