from THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES By ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
David Timson's reading of the Sherlock Holmes stories must surely be the definitive audio performance featuring this timeless character. Resurrected after his apparent death three years earlier, the older and wiser Holmes of these stories shows a willingness to let his conscience prevail over the letter of the law. Timson's range is remarkable--he gives perfectly tuned accents to characters not only from all of Britain but also from South Africa, Australia, and the United States. By the end, you'll forever associate Holmes and Watson with Timson's voices. As well as being a marvelous narrator of these stories, his own liner notes reveal him as something of a Sherlockian.
The Bible said it first
It is truly amazing how much of our day to day speech had its beginnings in the Bible. We have here three sheets covering 54 sayings which are still in common use today. Some of these sayings were first spoken by Jesus while some others have been in use for over 3000 years. See if you can discover more of these sayings from your Bible. These sheets can be useful for people of all ages as they can give us another opportunity to introduce the Bible into our daily conversations.
Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia: Reptiles (Volume 7)
"Enjoyable reading" is not usually a phrase used in descriptions of encyclopedias, yet these four volumes of the second edition of Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia provide just that. Part of a 17-volume rewrite of the original 13-volume edition published beginning in 1967, these volumes exhibit excellence in writing, organization, illustration, and editing.
Volume 7, Reptiles, is the strongest of these excellent volumes. The contributors' expert knowledge and love of reptiles is evident. The "Order: Crocodilians" section is particularly well written.
