Book excerpt: David Blaize Trilogy is a series of novels by English author Edward Frederic Benson about the life of a young boy from his early childhood to college years. The first novel in the series is named David Blaize. Set in England before the First World War, the novel describes David's years at prep school and public school, his studies, sports and friendships, and finally, his brush with death when he stops a runaway horse. A second novel, David Blaize and the Blue Door, set in David's early childhood, was published in 1918. In contrast to the first book, it is a children's fantasy influenced by the work of Lewis Carroll, in the style of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, set in a dream landscape permeated with nonsense. David Blaize of King's is Benson's 1924 sequel to David Blaize. It follows David's university career at King's College, Cambridge._x000D_ Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, known professionally as E.F.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blaize Clement won fans all over the world with the charm and wit of her pet-sitting mysteries. Now, with the help of her son, author John Clement, Blaize's beloved heroine Dixie Hemingway is back for yet another thrilling adventure in this critically-acclaimed series. Dixie has built a nice, quiet life for herself in the sleepy town of Siesta Key, a sandy resort island off the coast of Florida. In fact, her pet-sitting business is going so well she's even taken on part-time help: Kenny, a handsome young surfer who lives alone in a rickety old houseboat. But things get a little messy when, on an early morning walk in the park with a client's schnauzer, Dixie makes a shocking discovery. Hidden among the leafy brambles is a homeless girl, alone and afraid, cradling a newborn baby in her arms. Dixie takes the young girl under her wing, even though she's just been hired by Roy Harwick, the snarky executive of a multi-national oil company, to care for his equally snarky Siamese cat, Charlotte, along with his wife's priceless collection of rare, tropical fish. It's not long before Dixie stumbles upon a dead body in the unlikeliest of places, and soon she's set adrift in a murky and dangerous world in which no one is who they appear to be. Smart, fast-paced and entertaining, The Cat Sitter's Cradle is a perfect illustration of why Dixie's loyal fans have come to know and love her and eagerly await the next installment of her adventures.

Book excerpt: Edward Frederic Benson (24 July 1867 - 29 February 1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer. Benson's first book published was Sketches From Marlborough. He started his novel writing career with the (then) fashionably controversial Dodo (1893), which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama. He repeated the success of Dodo, which featured a scathing description of composer and militant suffragette Ethel Smyth (which she "gleefully acknowledged", according to actress Prunella Scales), with the same cast of characters a generation later: Dodo the Second (1914), "a unique chronicle of the pre-1914 Bright Young Things" and Dodo Wonders (1921), "a first-hand social history of the Great War in Mayfair and the Shires".

This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Blaize and the Blue Door is set in David's early childhood. It is a fantasy adventure in the style of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, set in a dream landscape permeated with jabberwocky type nonsense. The book is in the same children’s fantasy genre as Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”, “Sylvie and Bruno”, Farrow’s “Adventures Wallypugland series” and Heath Robinson’s “Bill the Minder.” The eight chapters in this book are richly illustrated, and the titles of these give clues to the type of adventure David goes on. Some of the illustrations are titled: “The flame-cats and the black man coming down the chimney”, “The game-cupboard comes to life”, “David finds the mint-man in the bank”, “The recovering of Uncle Popacatapetl”, “The telegram rescues Uncle P. From the mint-man”, “Miss Bones sitting on David’s thumb”, “David uses the telephone in the cow porter’s tail” “Noah pursues David”; and many more whacky characters with equally more strange characteristics. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book is donated to charities. ================ TAGS & KEYWORDS: David Blaize, Blue door, dream, dreamscape, dreamland, sword, bumpity, bottom, adventures, aeroplanes, delicious, candidate, extraordinary, beastly, sir sirloin, london, gold, spectacles, butt, duke, cats whiskers, chimney, telegram, airmen, butler, chauffeur, certificate, fireman, shoemaker, golden, porter, rhyme, gentleman, canon, sovereign, rook, ark, elephant, train, birds, bones, popacatapetl, spider, david blaize, giraffe, miss muffet, brigadier general, noah, Flame cats, black man, chimney, Blue Door, games cupboard, Mint man, bank, Uncle, Rhyme family, Miss Bones, cow porter, bald-headed, lark-flight, Field-Marshal, guard of honour, trout, registry office, marriage

Download or read book David of King s written by Edward Frederic Benson and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David of King's is E.F. Benson's witty and well-observed novel of varsity life set at King's College, Cambridge during the early part of the 20th century. The novel was first published in 1924 when Benson was in his later fifties. The work was penned by Benson because of the success he had enjoyed with David Blaize, his schoolboy novel, first published in 1916. David of King's takes off where David Blaize ends. The novel covers three years of Blaize's undergraduate life. Enjoy more tales of Blaize and his different friendships with Maddox and Bags as they live and learn together as King'smen. David of King's is, above all, a "jolly enjoyable" read. Benson tells an absorbing story and he draws the reader into the cultural and social world of Blaize at King's College and more generally of Cambridge University. His stories of Blaize's encounters with colourful and eccentric dons--A.G. and Mr. Crowfoot--based on the real life characters O.B. (Oscar Browning) and Mr. J.E. Nixon--are absolute gems of affectionate humour and should not be missed. This Viewforth Classic edition is a newly prepared and corrected version of the original text. Edited, with introduction and notes, by Dr. Craig Paterson. Previously published by Viewforth Press: David Blaize, 2010 (ISBN: 1453763104)
