"Sherlock's Last Case casts the usual characters in a farcical light by reducing Holmes's character almost entirely to arrogance and Watson's to submission. Though thriller elements are present, the focus is on parody and dark social satire. Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life is a comic Strindbergian marriage battle full of wonderful invective and genuine loathing. Clever Dick is a hilarious burlesque of an Agatha Christie mystery that has gotten tangled with an English knickers farce."--Description from www.amazon.com

Aileen Palmer - poet, translator, political activist, adventurer - was the daughter of two writers prominent in Australian literature in the first half of the twentieth century. Vance and Nettie Palmer were well known as novelists, poets, critics and journalists, and Nettie suspected that their eldest would grow up with 'ink in her veins'. Aileen certainly inherited her parents' talents, publishing poetry, translating the work of Ho Chi Minh, and recording what she referred to as 'semi-fictional bits of egocentric writing'. She also absorbed their interest in leftist politics, joining the Communist Party at university. This, combined with her bravery, led to participation in the Spanish Civil War and the ambulance service in London during World War II. The return to Australia was not easy, and Aileen never successfully reintegrated into civilian life. In Ink in Her Veins Sylvia Martin paints an honest and moving portrait in which we see a talented woman slowly brought down by war, family expectations, and psychiatric illness and the sometimes cruel 'treatments' common in the 20th century.

Four essays by Arnold Bennett on what he has learned as a writer: the importance of careful observation of detail, the writing of novels, the writing of plays, and finally a defense of the writer who wishes to please his public - something of a sore point with the enormously popular Bennett. Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was a prolific English novelist, playwright, essayist, critic and journalist - thirty novels, almost three thousand articles, ten plays and many other writings.
