Title : Not Your Pucking Girl (Kings of Denver #1)ĭANIELLEWhat?s that saying? When life hands you lemons. (Get) Epub Not Your Pucking Girl (Kings of Denver #1) Full Page ![]() ![]() One of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction, The Metamorphosis is a harrowing yet absurdly comic meditation on inadequacy, guilt, and isolation. The story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who, after transforming overnight into a giant, beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, and a quintessentially alienated man. So begins The Metamorphosis, one of the most recognizable opening lines in literature. When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin. Each book includes educational tools alongside the text, enabling students and readers alike to gain a deeper and more developed understanding of the writer and their work. ![]() Enriched Classics offer readers accessible editions of great works of literature enhanced by helpful notes and commentary. ![]() ![]() He is certainly long dead, and his personal beliefs make some grown-ups think his writing isn’t worth reading. Rudyard Kipling might sound like an old-fashioned writer. Five out of five STORGY typewriters – Longer Review – Most people have seen the movie, but Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book is a very special story with much more in it than the film, as well as being a magically told tale. But Shere Khan, the strongest of the hunters, as well as the most alone, is biding his time until he can get the prey that he thinks is rightfully his. He learns the law of the jungle from Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther is his protector. Mowgli, the boy, grows up with the animals. This is the story of a wolf pack who adopt a human child, when the tiger, Shere Khan, hunts outside of his territory against the law of the jungle. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That somehow seems not to matter, it's a gorgeous production and well worth watching. It is very long, they certainly put as much of the book in it as possible, it's very faithful, possibly guilty of being a little slow in parts. Amateur detective Miss Jane Marple investigates the murder of a young woman whose body is found in the library at Gossington Hall, home of Colonel and Mrs. Trudie Styler is a brilliant Josie Turner, she helps to make the ending quite brilliant, all in a look. David Horovitch played Slack so well, I can see why he was made a recurring character, I'm sure he was overused but I get why. Other performances I liked, firstly Gwen Watford, she is delightful as the ditsy Dolly Bantry, so excited that a body has been found, she clearly loved a bit of drama, I'm so glad she returned in the final episode too. She is truly wonderful, even after her introduction you just know that she is Miss Marple. ![]() Straight away Joan Hickson shows us why she is the definitive Miss Marple, endorsed by Agatha Christie herself, she'd play the role from 1984 - 1992 and make it her own. This version mirrors the book in so many ways, it's a truly faithful adaptation, as the saying goes 'if it ain't broke don't fix it.' I understand that a few elements are missed, but it would have been impractical to attempt to squeeze it all in. Somehow she seems unreal, Dolly Bantry seeks the help of her friend Jane Marple, and the pair seek to unravel the mystery, enquiries lead them to the seaside. The sleepy peaceful home of the Bantry's is woken to the shattering news that the body of a young platinum blond woman has been found in the Library. ![]() |
