The Wind in the Willows is a children's novel by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animals in a pastoral version of Edwardian England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality and camaraderie, and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames Valley. The novel was in its 31st printing when playwright A. A. Milne adapted part of it for the stage as Toad of Toad Hall in 1929. Almost a century later, it was adapted again for the stage as a musical by Julian Fellowes. In 2003, The Wind in the Willows was listed at number 16 in the BBC's survey The Big Read.

Animal Farm is a short political fable by George Orwell based on Joseph Stalin's betrayal of the Russian Revolution. Orwell wrote it because he wished to destroy what he called the "Soviet myth". Like Nineteen Eighty-Four, the story is one of the most famous political allegories in the world. It is about a group of animals who rebel against the humans who run the farm they live on and run it themselves with hopes of being equal, free, and happy. In the end, however, the new rule becomes a cruel tyranny of its own led by the pigs. It was written during World War II and published in 1945. Although rejected by several publishers, when published it became a best-seller. Today it is widely accepted as a classic. This is a copyright version but still, hope you enjoy it.

This is an original story with original cases and 'Sherlockian' deductions, featuring the BBC show's characters. Sherlock and John are trying to rent out 221 C... getting nowhere. An international PhD candidate is looking for a place to stay: she has no one and nothing left but a new life to build from scratch in London. They are the perfect match: Baker Street is her last resort, and she is the only tenant not running like hell in front of Sherlock's deductions. What an astounding coincidence! But what do we say about coincidence? When Giulia moves to 221C Baker Street and dives into a fascinating world of cases, riddles, puzzles, and murders, Sherlock Holmes is faced with the most intricate case of all. What is the cryptic story behind this ordinary, yet surprisingly clever woman? Can she be trusted? And does the past always come back to exact its vengeance? ~~~~~~ 🏆 #1 #sherlock [24/05/2021] I do not own BBC Sherlock's characters; I only own my original characters and stories. I do not own any of the images.
