When a dolls house has been designed by the most famous architect of his time, filled with specially commissioned objects of the very best contemporary domestic, industrial and artistic design, and presented to a queen for her personal pleasure, then surely a detailed study of it is justified. It is that story, with the remarkable photographic record of the house and its contents which accompanies it, which this book tells. The house was presented to Queen Mary in 1924 as a gesture of goodwill from the artists, craftsmen and authors most prominent at the time. It is not only a royal treasure; it shows in miniature a detailed picture of a domestic interior, and of an established way of life, in the period after World War I - and of course, unlike virtually every full-sized example of the kind, it remains entirely unmodernised. The craftsmanship visible in the contents of the forty rooms and vestibules is unparalleled, and it is presented here in David Cripps's photographs to capture an English period scene of incomparable charm.

Unable to return to the castle, the children are his only hope. And so John and Margaret disguise themselves as children of the court and embark on a thrilling and frightening quest to reveal Almeric's true nature and gain the Duke's confidence. But then Almeric becomes suspicious, and suddenly all their lives are in danger...

Nach dem Erfolg ihres Strickbuchs sorgt Sadie in Florida für eine weitere öffentliche Sensation und wird fast zur öffentlichen Feindin. Wer kann schon glauben, dass die beste Strickerin der Welt, die jeden zweiten Tag joggt und Johnny Carson behandelt, als wäre er ihr Enkel, in einen Bau-Skandal verwickelt sein könnte, der Millionen für ein revolutionäres neues Projekt für die Senioren Amerikas betrifft, das möglicherweise nie gebaut wird? Nicht ohne die Hilfe der unerschütterlichen Sadie und ihrer Freunde, darunter der legendäre "Prince of Pot Cheese" (Sadies lange verlorene Jugendliebe), eine schöne Reporterin, ein gutaussehender junger Architekt, ein 72-jähriger Stepptänzer, Sadies neuer Ehemann Sam Beck und die gesamte Mishpocha von Sadies Zeitgenossen. Wer könnte sonst als Sadie über die Polizei, die Staatsanwaltschaft, Insolvenz, ein Feuer und ruinöse Publicity triumphieren? Wo könnte das alles anders passieren als in Miami?
