Title :
These Charming PeopleAuthor: Arlen Michael, Tennant Emma (FRW) Publisher: Capuchin Classics Michael Arlen wrote of the fast set of Mayfair and Belgravia, those who were to be termed the Lost Generation. His characters are doomed young war heroes still hungering for excitement, newly emboldened and abandoned heroines, raffish cads, and outcasts from convention. His characters are disillusioned, cynical, and witty, but these stories also include elements of fantasy and horror?in particular 'The Ancient Sin' and 'The Loquacious Lady of Lansdowne Passage.' The volume also introduced a gentleman crook in the story 'The Cavalier of the Streets,' and the title of the story 'When a Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' was the inspiration for the popular song of the same name. All the tales are laced with fine irony and understatement, and a kind of bantering tone with the reader which was to become Arlen's hallmark. € 11,60

Title :
DianaAuthor: Tennant Emma, Bailey Hilary Publisher: Independent Pub Group What happens when a person returns, unrecognized, to place and situation they left long ago? Will some see a ghost, or perhaps a threat? Can the past be altered, or the future changed? When Prince Harry arrives at Balmoral to convalesce after a bungee jumping accident in Bali, he is accompanied by Sister Julia, a plain-looking nurse who dotes on her charge. Julia's behavior provokes instant dislike and suspicion in two senior royal servants, the formidable housekeeper Janet McDuff and Prince Charles's equerry David Baron. Julia seems to know her way around the castle when she first arrives, and the famous corgis tumble at her feet in a loving pack. Furthermore, she greets Prince William as if she has known him all his life. When a sapphire engagement ring, recently bestowed on Camilla, is discovered under Prince Harry's bed, Julia acts as though she recognizes it. The arrival of an unscheduled visitor at the Queen's wild-boar sausage barbecue tests Her Majesty's royal composure, and Julia is accused of spying on Charles and Camilla. This witty and sympathetic account of Sister Julia's experiences among the castle's frosty inhabitants provides merriment and insight. € 14,50

Title :
PemberleyAuthor: Tennant Emma Publisher: St Martins Pr As Jane Austen’s beloved novel Pride and Prejudice comes to a close, Elizabeth Bennet proudly announces her engagement to Mr. Darcy, boasting, “We are to be the happiest couple in the world.” But after the nuptials, can a marriage between two people as strong-willed as Elizabeth and Darcy survive? With all the wit and style of Jane Austen, Emma Tennant brilliantly imagines both the perils and pleasure of such a marriage. It’s now a year after the wedding, and the time has come for Elizabeth and Darcy to invite their families to visit Pemberley—but not without trepidation, for any gathering that includes both Mrs. Bennet and Lady Catherine de Bourgh must occasion gaffes and hurt feelings. And when Darcy becomes increasingly distant and Elizabeth falls prey to vicious gossip, the forces of pride and prejudice are at work once again in this “eminently enjoyable” continuation of Pride and Prejudice (Los Angeles Times). € 17,00
