Download or read book The Gerrard Street Mystery and Other Weird Tales written by John Charles Dent and published by Book Jungle. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Charles Dent (1841-1888) was a Canadian journalist, author and historian. Dent received his primary education in Canadian schools, studied law in Brantford, Ontario, and became an attorney in 1865. He developed his journalistic skills working for The Daily Telegraph. He also contributed a series of articles to the periodical Once a Week. In 1880, soon after the death of George Brown, founder of the Globe, he severed his connection with that paper and began his first ambitious undertaking, The Canadian Portrait Gallery (1880), which ran to four large volumes. His second book was The Last Forty Years: Canada Since the Union of 1841. This work has been highly praised in all quarters. His third work was a History of the Rebellion in Upper Canada (1885-6). In addition, he wrote a great many sketches, essays and stories. A collection of his stories was published posthumously in The Gerrard Street Mystery and Other Weird Tales (1888). Dent was elected to fellowship in the Royal Society of Canada in 1887.

Peter, the main character, takes his first detective case and finds himself in an unethical situation. This story leads to some humor and ultimately to heartbreak, and some delightful surprises.
Download or read book Let s Pretend This Never Happened written by Jenny Lawson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

Download or read book Three Bags Full written by Leonie Swann and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming twist: the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd. On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, a flock of sheep gathers around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has cared devotedly for the flock, even reading them books every night. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George’s killer. The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the “bad-boy” black ram; Mopple the Whale, a Merino who eats a lot and remembers everything; and Zora, a pensive black-faced ewe with a weakness for abysses. Joined by other members of the richly talented flock, they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime, wild metaphysical speculations, and embark on reconnaissance missions into the village, where they encounter some likely suspects. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful new breed of detectives to Canadian readers.
