Lauren and Miranda have been best friends forever. Every day one would say, "Meet me by the old ghost-tree" and they would have adventures together. But now Miranda only likes boys, and Lauren's father was found in the woods with his heart torn out, and no one was ever caught.

In the early 1640s Henry Best, a gentleman farmer of Elmswell in the East Riding of Yorkshire, composed an account of his farming practices. The resulting Farming Book provides a unique account of seventeenth-century farming, of the marketing of agricultural produce, and of rural customs. It is here published in a new transcription by Donald Woodward. In addition, a complete transcript of Henry Best's Memorandum Book is published for the first time; this volume gives details of a wide range of day-to-day transactions mainly during the period 1617 to 1645. The editor adds greatly to our knowledge of Henry Best, his family and estate in a substantial introduction, and much ancillary documentary evidence is provided in a series of appendices. The volume is rounded off by an extensive new glossary prepared by Peter McClure.

This early work collected by H. C. McNeile was originally published in 1930 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Best of O. Henry - One Hundred of His Stories' is a collection of short stories that include 'Between Rounds', 'The Furnished Room', 'The Pendulum', and many more. Cyril McNeile was born on 28th September 1888, in Bodmin, Cornwall. McNeile's writing career began in 1915 when the Daily Mail serialised Reminiscences of Sergeant Michael Cassidy.

Drummond was an ex-army captain with a thirst for adventure and defeating bad guys.
