This year, it’s Hans Christian Andersen’s dark fairytale The Snow Queen. Local busybody Marjorie Cuthbertson is on the hunt for her leading lady – and who better to play the icy queen than beautiful new resident, ex-model Joan Dryden. But as interested as they are in their new neighbours, the residents of Frog End remain wary of the Dryden family, considering them aloof Londoners. Mystery is about to engulf the village however when a cast member collapses and dies at a Christmas party, having consumed a rogue mince pie. Was the death an accident – or was it a malicious revenge strategy masked as an allergic reaction? The Colonel makes it his business to find out.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrogs and toads are some of the most confusing amphibians to classify. While some of their physical attributes are easy to tell apart, if we take a deeper look at these animals we find it’s not quite that simple. From poisonous skin and bulging eyes to their amazing life cycles, these creatures are as interesting to study as they are difficult to categorize. Once we break down the difference between "true" frogs and "true" toads, it’s easy to see why so many have trouble telling the two creatures apart.
