I am working my way through a little horde of Regency Christmas anthologies, savouring them one at a time. I picked this one up whilst on holiday recently and just read it; what a pleasure it was! I don't ordinarly seek out short stories as a matter of course but I am very fond of this particular little mini sub-genre. Three of the contributions stood out for me.

"The Rake's Christmas" by Edith Layton is the poignant story of a young man, back from the Peninsular wars, saddened and a little self loathing, who throws himself into some half-hearted rakery in order to put the wars behind him. He is taken up by a truly accomplished rake, Lord Shelton. During a Christmas house party, the elder rake plays deus ex machina to young Ian, Viscount Hunt in order to bring him together with Miss Eve Thompkins. Eve is the daughter Shelton never had - the offspring of his true life-long secret and unrequited love. So, he stands in an almost fatherly way over Hunt, helping him to overcome his sombre loneliness and sad boyhood in making a match for him and Eve. Edith Layton is a favourite of mine and she packs a lot of emotion into just a few short pages.

Jo Beverley is a writer whose books I have been collecting with the aim of indulging myself. Why she and Layton and Balogh are not published in the UK is beyone my comprehension - such a shame! I was delighted with her contribution to this anthology. "A Mummer's Play" is the story of Col "Lucky Jack" Beaufort, by default the new Duke of Cranmoore. Justina Travers lost her fiance in the Peninsula when he was under the command of his close friend, Jack. Justina has some reason to suspect that Cranmoore may have been a traitor and, therefore, the cause of her fiance's death. She insinuates herself into Jack's first Christmas house party as the new duke by hiding herself amongst the mummers who come to perform. Her aim is to expose him as a traitor and murderer. The story takes place during the course of just one evening and, in just a few intense, emotional pages, Jo Beverley brings an almost unbearably high degree of tension and emotion as these two lonely, hurt but passionate people find an extraordinary and unexpected love and mutual redemption. Simply excellent.

Mary Balogh's contribution is, as always, as near to perfection as you can get. Hers is the story of three young orphaned children whose wastrel parents largely ignored them. Their maternal uncle, Viscount Morsey, and paternal aunt, Lady Carlyle, reluctantly leave London to come to the depths of the countryside to "do their duty" and make some half-hearted provision for their upbringing. It emerges that the two adults were once engaged but huge family problems, anger and recriminations tore them apart. The story is largely told through the eyes of the children and the theme of the story, as Lady Carlyle discovers, is that Christmas is about birth, parenthood, love, hope and commitment. In the context of this very brief piece, all five players find themselves turned into a loving family. Mary Balogh is pure magic. She writes such poignant, moving and emotional stories which are refined to pure gold. Wonderful.

Do find yourself a second hand copy of this anthology; reading it is simply a pleasure worth the effort.

I loved how this book was made into a tongue twister! It really makes it fun and interesting to read![.] It reallt tied up my tongue!

This combination ICD-9-CM and HCPCS Level II coding manual is a wonderful find for educators and providers. The coding manuals are well organized, and the author has included clarification about how to code at the beginning of each manual!

Veteran film historian Buck Rainey should be heartily commended for this long-awaited book, which, for the first time, lists all serials (and most of the related series) in one volume. Liberally sprinkled with illustrations, this handsome and well-researched volume ought to be mandatory reading for film scholars everywhere! And thank you, Mr. Rainey, for providing a detailed index and an extensive bibliography.

A truly remarkable book that although it's intent is humorous, provides a deep look at the whys and wherefores of peoples hunger for power and fortune. Having applied some of Chokya's laws, I have already become a wealthier, more forceful bastard and I feel good about it. This is a keeper.

If you want to know how to find space for that home office or income-producing space such as apartments without adding on then you should consult the pages of this book for it tells you in detail how to convert unused space in your home into that office or apartment. If you think you don't have any space large enough, think again and get this book. You'd be surprised what you can do with small space with the proper guidelines for design, planning, and detailed instructions for conversion. This book pays for itself in the planning stage--keeping you from costly mistakes.

As a newcomer to soccer I searched for a book that could be used as a reference for basic skills and drills to use to practice and master the skills. This book has it all. It is a gem. There are step by step pictures of each skill and a drill(s) to practice the skill presented. I have and continue to use this book for and with my daughter. Unfortunately, it is likely very hard to find but by all means look for it or request it and perhaps it will be reprinted. Soccer is here to stay. This book was written by a professional British soccer coach who has worked with children so has the ability and knowledge of how to explain skills in an easy to understand way for all ages of soccer players, coaches and parents. We have attended private lessons, camps etc.... and this book covers the skills taught but in an easy to reference format. LOOK FOR IT, ASK FOR IT, AND BUY IT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY USE IT.....

A truly comprehensive set of must have books for the aviation enthusiast. A great blend of theory and practical aspects of flying, weather and navigation. These are books that you will read once and refer back to again and again.

It is a tale of one woman's struggle to find her identity. It isn't sentimental or feminist, but simply a story about making the wrong choices... and surviving; only to find, that there is still plenty of time to make the right ones. The book reads fast!!! I am an avid reader and this one is my all-time favorite!
