SUNDAY, March 31st at 1:30pm: TEA TIME at Baker Street!
On a summer evening, while engaged in an aimless conversation that has come round to the topic of hereditary attributes, Doctor Watson learns that Sherlock Holmes, far from being a one-off in terms of his powers of observation and deductive reasoning, in fact has an elder brother whose skills, or so Holmes claims, outstrip even his own. As a consequence of this, Watson becomes acquainted with the Diogenes Club and his friend's brother, Mycroft.
Mycroft, as Watson learns, does not have the energy of his younger brother and as a consequence is incapable of using his great skills for detective work. In spite of his inertia, the elder Holmes has often delivered the correct answer to a problem that Sherlock has brought to him. On this occasion, however, it is Mycroft who has need to consult Sherlock. Mr. Melas, a Greek interpreter and neighbour of Mycroft, tells of a rather unnerving experience he has recently gone through. Caledonia Skytower in Voice.

"This is a collection of stories that all begged to be written. I am told those are the best ones to share, but I leave that for you to decide. It is a mix of fictional fancies and non-fiction essays. Sometimes “reality” and “fancy” are woven together into the same piece, while others define themselves clearly as one or the other. Again, I happily yield to the reader to enjoy them and make their own judgments. I am not telling!"

THURSDAY MARCH 21st at 7PM: HILO LEGENDS
On the eastern side of the Island of Hawaii there is a crescent shaped bay where the old town of Hilo snuggles closely against the sloping hills. Polynesian peoples worked and played here for a thousand years before James Cook came in 1778. On rainshrouded days, when the hills and mountains are buried in mist and the Wailuku River roars to the sea, one senses that ghosts of the ancients still watch over old Hilo town. These are the very localized tales of this tiny spot in paradise.
ISBN# 912180-45-5
WEDNESDAY, March 20th @ 7pm: A Selection from A NEWBERY ZOO
William Wilbur leads a very structured and plain existence. One early Spring day, on his 29th birthday, one event after another disrupts Mr. Wilbur's highly predictable daily routine and, he learns for the first time that he is able to talk with animals. The discovery is unexpected and humorous, but ultimately serves to save the day for a local zoo animal in pain - and Mr. Wilbur the previous wallflower, becomes very well known and finds his life anything but plain!

SUNDAY, March 10th @ 1:30pm: TEA TIME at Baker Street!
Doctor Percy Trevelyan brings Holmes an unusual problem. Having been a brilliant student but a poor man, Dr. Trevelyan has found himself a participant in an unusual business arrangement. A man named Blessington, claiming to have some money to invest, has set Dr. Trevelyan up in premises with a prestigious address and paid all his expenses. In return, he demands three-fourths of all the money that the doctor’s practice earns, which he collects every evening, going over the books thoroughly and leaving the doctor five shillings and threepence from the day’s takings. Blessington is himself infirm, it turns out, and likes this arrangement because he can always have a doctor nearby.
Everything has gone fairly well for the doctor since the arrangement began. Now, however, something has happened to Mr. Blessington. He has become excitable and agitated, this after he said that he had read about a burglary somewhere in the city.

From the treacherous pirating days of old to the sophisticated corporations formed in modern times, each story is filled with flamboyant characters.

Watson takes Holmes to a friend's estate near Reigate in Surrey to rest after a rather strenuous case in France. Holmes finds that his services are needed here, but he also finds that his recent illness serves him well. His host is Colonel Hayter.
There has recently been a burglary at the nearby Acton estate in which the thieves stole a motley assortment of things, even a ball of twine, but nothing terribly valuable. Then one morning, the Colonel's butler tells news of a murder at another nearby estate, the Cunninghams'. The victim is William Kirwan, the coachman. Inspector Forrester has taken charge of the investigation, and there is one physical clue: a torn piece of paper found in William's hand with a few words written on it. Holmes takes an instant interest in this, seeing something that Forrester has missed.

In honor of this special night, we will be sharing ghost tales from the frozen north.
They are watching us, these ghosts of the North. They cook breakfast, play cards, mine gold, turn on radios, and play the piano. These astonishing stories tell of miners terrorized by spirits wandering their claims, of roadhouse owners visited daily by ghosts, and of reindeer herders who run in fear as one of their own departed comes back in spirit form to continue his duties after death.

TUESDAY, February 19th at 7PM: More INKSPELL
"... Inkspell should serve as a special treat for fans of the first book, as characters from Inkheart who have found themselves in the "real world" (if there is such a thing) find themselves read back into their own mythic, word-spun world--along with some of our favorite "real-world" characters. As with the previous book, Funke's greatest accomplishment here is telling such a rich and involving (and fun!) story, while still managing sweet, subtle commentary on the nature of words and meaning. Expect a tantalizing finale, too--as Funke says, "No reader will forgive me the ending, though, without a part three."

MONDAY, February 18th @ 7pm: GREAT SPEECHES for President's Day
Not all great leaders are great speakers. Luckily, over the years the few that have been have made a remarkable impact on lives, societies, and the causes they championed. Tonight Shandon, Kayden, and Caledonia share a few of those great moments of words that changed minds, hearts, and nations.
Great oratory, great speeches, are brought into
being in answer to, or because of, even greater moments in history and time.
Often these moments will juxtapose man’s worth and honor, against horrors,
evil, and injustice. Sometimes though, the greatest speeches are simply
commentaries on a people or a culture, that bring greatness and remembrance of that
speech by the truths they contain. Tonight we feature a selection of the words of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy and more.

SUNDAY, February 17th @ 1:30PM: TEA TIME at Baker Street!
The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual shares elements with two Edgar Allan Poe tales: The Gold Bug and The Cask of Amontillado.
In the story, Holmes recounts to Watson the events arising after a visit from a university acquaintance, Reginald Musgrave. Musgrave visits Holmes after the disappearance of two of his domestic staff, Rachel Howells, a maid, and Richard Brunton, the longtime butler. The pair vanished after Musgrave had dismissed Brunton for secretly reading a family document, the Musgrave Ritual, which dates from the 17th century and is a riddle set in verse form.

THURSDAY February 14th at 7pm: The Courtship of Miles Standish
OCLC Number: 230842627
WEDNESDAY, February 13th at 7PM: More from QUITE A YEAR FOR PLUMS
"Bailey White loves names: sasanqua, krummhorn, anhinga, Zephair, Alba Plena, nematode. All appear in this, her first novel. They represent, respectively, a tree, a musical instrument, a bird, an electric fan, a camellia and a roundworm of the phylum Aschelminthes.
"The homely nematode, in fact, inspires one of the best passages in Quite a Year for Plums, a teeming novel of life among the restless and resilient inhabitants of a south Georgia town. Roger, a plant pathologist, has explained to his old friend Hilma that microscopic nematodes occupy ''almost every part of every organism.'' If the earth and its host inhabitants were to suddenly vanish, the remainder, as Hilma imagines it, would be 'the ghost of a gone world, lingering for one second in space and then dissolving into the silvery dust of collapsing nematodes.'
"That well-turned phrase demonstrates the book's clean, strong style and may allude to its abiding concern, or one of them: What if we're living in the ghost of a gone world? What if the useful adzes of our ancestors have become kitsch to be displayed mindlessly in bland restaurants, and the old constricting social arrangements have given way to uncertainty and missed connections?"
More romance, obessive behavior, and that unique brand of small town joy that can only be found in Bailey White's Georgia. Kayden Oconnell and Caledonia Skytower continue in voice.

Funke's trilogy of Inkworld books transports the reader into a world of vivid characters and heightened drama. The reality of the characters, the motives, and the passions are what gives this series its dynamic, captivating quality.
