Daughter of Time is available for free on this forum, just for people who are looking
 I voted for it since I nominated it and want to read it, but I would be happy with The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie winning too.

Oh - I'm such a fool. I didn't think in a million years that The Daughter of Time would be public domain. Just checked and it appears in the Australian Gutenberg site as well.
So I can definitely read 3 out of 4 of the offerings this month.

I had to vote for Saki's short stories, as I am totally enthralled with Spring Snow (slowly, but I'm getting there!) - but I'll be happy with any of the four.

I like the way there's a hidden poll, followed by discussion about which books the poster has chosen. Perhaps someone should keep a running tally...

The short stories of Saki takes the win. |

I'm pretty happy with this actually as I've never read Saki and the fact that it's short stories makes it less imposing.
Just have to finish A Christmas Carol and The Little World of Don Camillo- then I'm on this.

It is also obtainable in Epub and Mobi direct from Project Gutenberg. PG provides a good TOC. However, the AZW copy from Many Books was awful with no accessible TOC. In the end, I personally liked the MR edition here most, though you have to convert it in Calibre.

I also found Beasts and Super-Beasts & The Chronicles of Clovis by Saki at feedbooks for free. I have not checked the formatting for the mobi nor the epub.

The LRF for Beasts and Super-Beasts (for the MR e-book library) is already on my Sony reader and will be up soon. I am right now finishing up The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (short book) and will probably fit a couple of more books in before starting Saki to finish that up closer to the discussion open.
