When the Women Come Out to Dance
In this collection of new and recently published short fiction, Elmore Leonard demonstrates the superb characterizations, dead-on dialogue, vivid atmosphere, and driving plotting that have made him a household name. Federal marshal Karen Sisco, from the bestselling novel 'Out of Sight,' returns in 'Karen Makes Out,' once again inadvertently mixing pleasure with business. In 'Fire in the Hole,' Raylan Givens, last seen in 'Riding the Rap' and 'Pronto,' meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. In the title story, 'When the Women Come Out to Dance,' Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. In all nine stories -- every unique in their own right -- reluctant heroes and laid-back lowlifes struggle for power, survival, and their fifteen minutes of fame. And as always, the stories ring true with Leonard's signature deadpan social observations and diabolical eye for the foibles of the good guys and the bad. Performed by Taye Diggs. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461570869

English Fables and Fairy Stories
Here are many of the traditional stories that have been told in England for hundreds of years: Dick Whittington and his Cat, Tom Thumb, Tom Tit Tot, Jack and the Beanstalk. But here too are many equally good but perhaps not so well know stories: Tattercoats, who was dressed in rags but married a prince, the tailor Johnny Gloke who slew two giants, and Rosemary who had to travel to the well at the World's End. James Reeves brought his qualities of humour to them all and emphasized their age-old enjoyment. - Books Reading - New - 461720455
