I tried to find a decent precis of this book, but think it is two books and has been published in many formats, working on the principle that the cover gives a bit of a clue and that anyone willing to pay the £10 I am asking for this book will know exactly what this is about, I have stopped searching.

Henning Mankell

If you have yet to discover “Nordic Noir” then Wallnder , created by Henning Mankell is a good place to start. Could you imagine Morse, or even Lewis, going to the toilet and deciding it’s time to change their underpants. The characters seem real, however bizarre the crimes, there is a Dan Brown Factor of Nil in these books (Dan Brown of ten is when every character is over six foot tall, looks beautiful and has an IQ of over 180).

SPELLING ASSISTANT

Undated, the title made me think it was a book for Carpenters to help with their spelling, but it is Thomas Carpenter’s “cunning plan” to help scholars.

Tatty binding but complete, so, (I hate the way that “so” is used at the start of every sentence, even by people you expect more of, at least the “Australian” inflection is falling into disuse), if you want to give your child a help with spelling, I am asking only £1.00 for this “spelling assistant”.
