During the Kobo $1.99 sale plus 50% off coupon a few weeks ago, I was feeling pretty darned smug about resisting, until I discovered all the golden age Christianna Brands and Ellery Queens! So much period goodness in these and I haven't read them in decades.
As an aside, Brand is also the author of the
Nurse Matilda books, the source for the
Nanny McPhee films.
