Odd Doings in Norfolk Are Sorted Out by Agatha Raisin and Sir Charles Fraith.......2007-08-06
As the book opens, James Lacey has once again left Carsely without saying good-bye to Agatha. Near the end of Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden, Agatha paid to have her fortune told. Although Agatha claims this is only a lark, she decides to act on the advice that the man for her will emerge if she goes to Norfolk. In typical Agatha fashion, she sticks a pin in the map and rents a cottage sight-unseen in Fryfam.
Almost immediately, Agatha is discouraged. Fryfam is cold and flat. The cottage has no central heating. No one wants to listen to her brag about her experiences as a detective. And there are some mysterious lights in her garden . . . and a missing item. The only person she likes is Mrs. Wilden, who runs the pub . . . but the other women don't care for her because their husbands spend every possible moment in the pub admiring Mrs. Wilden's beauty.
Invited to tea a the local manor, Agatha soon finds herself snubbed by Tolly Trumpington-James . . . a business man on the make with the hunt set. In annoyance, Agatha decides to write a murder mystery that will feature the death of Tolly-like character in a fictional manor house based on the one she's just visited. Soon thereafter, Tolly's prize painting is stolen after more mysterious lights. Agatha's decision to write becomes quite a problem when Tolly turns up dead by the method that Agatha's brief manuscript describes.
Buttressed by telephone calls to Mrs. Bloxby, the ever patient vicar's wife in Carsely, and a visit from Sir Charles Fraith, Agatha decides to find out what those mysterious lights are all about and to clear her name with the police.
Sir Charles is up for a bit of fun and games with Agatha, which she attempts to fend off. What will happen between the two of them as the mystery and danger deepen?
Meanwhile, Mrs. Bloxby does her best to steer Agatha away from thinking about the missing James Lacey. Sir Charles goes so far as to tell Agatha that she should see a therapist to get over her fixation on James. Agatha's competitive instincts are aroused, however, when she finds that James is back in Carsely and keeping company with Melissa Sheppard, the latest blond to set her sights on becoming Mrs. Lacey.
This story doesn't quite work. I found that I wasn't interested in the mysteries or Fryfam. M. C. Beaton portrays a village inhabited by people you wouldn't want to know . . . and I didn't. The superficial Sir Charles Fraith is a weak reed to rely on for building a good story. He's not really charming, just a socially skilled with the morals of a tom cat. There's a lot of intended humor in the book, but I found it to be too heavy handed to be satisfying.
The mysteries are pretty predictable in their resolutions and didn't do enough to sustain my interest.
I would grade the book down to two stars, but there's one development that makes the book a more interesting read than that for those who are long-time fans of the series.
Scrabble anyone? .......2006-12-23
I'm not through the book, yet, so perhaps this gets addressed later, but what happened to the third cat Scrabble from her previous book?
--Searching for a murderer in a fairy village--.......2003-09-19
In this story, Agatha Raisin decides to take a short vacation in the Norfolk area of England, where she rents a small cottage in the village of Fryfam. She felt that she needed to get away from her home in the Cotswolds, and think of something else rather then James Lacey, a man who didn't return her love. Also, by chance, a fortuneteller told her that she might find true love in Norfolk.
The rented cottage in Fryfam has a large garden and often little lights appear among the bushes. Many of the villagers seem to believe that fairies are the cause of the mysterious twinkling lights. Agatha makes a few friends who invite her to quilt with them, and when she discovers that their husbands are ignoring them, she intrudes with some suggestions to make the errant husbands take notice. Agatha's friend, Sir Charles Fraith shows up for a surprise visit and to keep Agatha company. When the local squire is murdered, she and Charles do some sleuthing to try and discover the killer.
I've read several of the Agatha Raisin books and learned that the more you read them, the more interesting you find the stories and the characters. Initially, it did take more than a few chapters to get involved with, and understand Agatha, who is a little cranky. If you like mysteries that are set in the British Isles, try out a M. C. Beaton book, they are all fun to read.
Do you believe in fairies?.......2003-07-06
In this 10th adventure of Agatha Raisin, we see our heroine gloomy over the loss of romance with love-interest, James Lacey. To cheer herself up, Agatha sticks a pin in a map, and sets out for holiday in the village of Fryfam. She rents a cottage, and soon meets a group of ladies from the local women's club that she immediately tries to impress by saying she is writing a novel. However, she soon becomes embroiled in another murder investigation, when the title character of her "novel" dies in real life and she is implicated in his death. Add to this the "lights" she sees at the edge of her garden, a stolen painting, another murder, and the theft of Agatha's two cats and the reader finds themselves in the middle of a perfect case for Agatha! Will Agatha triumph in a village so far away (in distance and in culture) from her own?
I have cherished every book in the Agatha Raisin series and this book was a delight. Although some of the other characters were noticeably absent (not much was heard from Mrs. Bloxsby or Roy Silver), I still enjoyed reading about the zany adventures of Agatha Raisin. Once again, this plucky sleuth sticks her nose in where most people would not, and in the process she finds courage to always catch the killer!
The first book in this series is "Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death". Enjoy!
This ONe Set in Norfolk,.......2003-04-27
I love Agatha Raisin, and in this book she is especially funny. Agatha follows a fortune teller's advice that her future is in Norfolk, so she rents a cottage in Fryfam (a villiage she picked by sticking a pin in a map). As usual she gets caught up in village life and sooner or later we know that there will be a murder for her to solve. This book has the "manor-lord" murdered in his home (why is Agatha's book that she's writing called "Murder at the Manor"?) Her and Sir Charles set out to unlock the mystery, and discover more shenanigans in this pokey little town than they ever expected to. There's a stunner at the end of the book, that makes me excited to read the next one.

Book Description
The gathering forces of the Dark Powers threaten the world of man. The legions of Faery, aided by trolls, demons and the Wild Hunt itself, are poised to overthrow the Realms of Light. Holger Carlsen, a bemused and puzzled twentieth-century man mysteriously snatched out of time, finds himself the key figure in the conflict. Arrayed against him are the dragons, giants and elven warriors of the armies of Chaos, and the beautiful sorceress Morgan le Fay. On his side is a vague prophecy, a quarrelsome dwarf and a beautiful woman who can turn herself into a swan, not to mention Papillon, the magnificent battle-horse, and a full set of perfectly fitting armour, both of which were waiting for him when he entered the magical realm. The shield bears three hearts and three lions - the only clue to Holger Carlsen's true identity. Could Carlsen really be a legendary hero, the only man who can save the world?

Timeless Classic.......2007-06-28
This here's a true timeless classic of fantasy. I've never read anything by the author before, and have had this one on my shelf for a while. Nearly 60 years after being printed, this novel still seems fresh. There's something for nearly everyone here, pulp adventure, humor, lightness and depth. Should be assigned reading for any wanna be fantasy writer. Quite Christian in nature, but not enough to disturb my inner pagan. Easily recommended.
The Defender of Christendie and Mankind.......2007-02-13
I first read this book over thirty years ago. I remember how much it meant to me even though at that time I didn't understand all the references. I was a little afraid that rereading it again after all these years might prove disappointing to me. It wasn't- if anything I love this book more than ever. I am also amazed that it was written in 1953, for its talk of parallel universes and the principles of quantum physics long predates the popularization of those topics.
Briefly, this is the story of an Americanized agnostic engineer of Danish descent who finds himself battling the Nazis on a beach during WW2. A head wound sends his consciousness across to the other world that he simultaneously inhabits. It is a parallel universe in modern terms, or a "higher plane" in esoteric terminology, but, as he tells himself, this is just substituting words for the same reality. But both worlds are connected, and the agnostic engineer concludes that the connection between the two is...God. He finds that in both the same battle of Law versus Chaos rages. In our world the Nazis threaten to engulf the planet, and in the realer, purer realm of which ours is but a pale reflection, the Middle World threatens to blot out Light forever. But Chaos had failed to account for the fact that in its time of need the universe will call forth a champion on all planes. The only problem is that the champion may not immediately recall who and what he truly is...
Before Zelazny and Amber, before Moorcock and Melnibone, before Thomas Covenant and the Land, or Simon Tregarth and Witch World, there was Holger Carlsen in the Middle World on the marches of the Empire. You can read this as a pure adventure romance (witches, warlocks, elves, faeries dragons, giants, trolls, etc.) or you can get a little more out of it, but it is definitely worth your time.
Shockingly Interesting for it's time! An undeniable classic........2006-02-08
After reading this book there is no doubt in my mind that many many fantasy writer's have mirrored Poul Anderson. I am shocked that this was written as long ago as it was! Poul Anderson was doubtless ahead of his time. Although, this book was awesome I have to admit that since so many books were inspired by this work it makes it fall heavy on the predictable side. Despite this, I am glad that I read it because it is such a classic and Poul Anderson is a genius. The only regret I have is that Poul Anderson has passed on and I've only just discoved him!
Quick, readable fantasy.......2004-07-07
"Three Hearts and Three Lions" is a good book, but it's not great. It was groundbreaking in its time (the 1950s) but now appears dated and rushed, mostly because this book was originally written as a serial for magazines.
Knowing that, it's easier to comprehend the less-than-fully-fleshed-out characterizations. Holger Carlson, our man out of time (he's from the 20th century and is adrift in a new, fantastic world filled with "swan-mays" and witches and elves), is a cipher at the beginning, and is almost as much of one at the end. He wants to do good, and does it -- but is hampered by lack of faith, and is sometimes helped by greater knowledge of engineering, chemistry and especially physics.
All of this is realistic, interesting, and well worth your time to read.
Where this book falls flat, in my opinion, is in the realm of characterization. Granted, this was the 1950s, so Alianora the swan-may's fluffy characterization was about the best most authors would manage. However, Mr. Anderson had already written about a strong woman in "Brainwave" if I recall correctly; he knew how to get strong women across in the marketplace, and moreover, he knew how to write romance.
This is not romance by any stretch of the imagination, although there's a fair amount of sex (along with a goodly amount of violence). Unlike much literature of the 1950s, Mr. Anderson makes Holger question his morality and judgement; this, in my opinion, is the one really good bit of characterization Holger has, and is the only reason he is likable.
The good points about "Three Hearts and Three Lions:" It's quick. It's interesting. It is realistic. And there are spots of humor.
The bad points? There isn't much characterization or romance. Alianora the swan-may is rather trite and boring, and most of the other minor characters are no better. And there isn't much explanation of why everyone recognizes Holger, but why Holger doesn't recognize them.
Still. It's readable, interesting, and has its good points. And it was groundbreaking in the genre.
Better reads by Mr. Anderson include the massive "King of Ys" saga, the Dominic Flandry series, the "Last Viking" trilogy about Harold Hardrede, and "Brainwave."
Compared to those others, this is a three star novel, and that's how I'm rating it.

A nice, quick escape..........2004-03-18
"Three Hearts & Three Lions," published in the early 1950s, certainly proved to be an influential work in the fantasy genre. It is a clear inspiration to writers such as R.A Salvatore (see his Spearwielder series), and many other authors with close ties to TSR. (The Dungeons & Dragons concept of a troll is taken almost verbatim from the sinister creature that appears here.) Poul Anderson writes with a generally favorable prose while relating the tale of Holger Carlson, a Dane who, amidst the chaos of World War II, is transported to a strange, alternate reality where magic is commonplace and he is destined to become the realm's champion in an epic struggle against the forces of Chaos. Some interesting characters crop up (but dialogue is not Anderson's strong point), and a few of the brief, dislocated adventures that somehow manage to appear in so short a read are worthwhile affairs, but there's no overriding sense of purpose in "Three Hearts & Three Lions." The battle between the forces of Law and Chaos is vague at best, and never comes to a head. Female characters are sexual objects with generally irritating personalities (it was the `50s, after all!), and relationships are scarcely solid enough to involve the reader in any significant way. (One character's death is unearned and out of place in the otherwise light-hearted yarn, and is immediately followed by merrymaking that further compounds the problem.) Also, despite several attempts to compare the fantasy royale battle in the novel to the struggles of the second World War, I found few actual parallels that made any sense or even hinted at the same urgency (How could they, after all?). Despite these faults, "Three Hearts & Three Lions" is a nice look back at the genre before it was stolen by blatant commerciality, and it's one of the first in the subgenre of "modern guy (or gal) transported to a magical netherworld to ultimately save the day." The late Anderson offers a nice, quick escape that's very worthwhile to this day.

My old favorite.......2006-05-14
When an adolescent,40 some odd years ago,this book stood out as a beacon of meaning within the imaginative world of science fiction.I read all the well known sci-fi writers of the time,& learned from some of them,much of what I later realized was the nature of bitterness,cynicism,absurdism,,nihilistic pain,and the hollowness of having what the Native Americans called losing my center.The story of how my center found me is not the point.I kept going back to this book because it closed with a focus on belief in the victory over corruption,old and evil,and an attempt to go back to a world where truth & justice and glory meant something,& where right was fresh and clean,& wrong was really wrong.I later found the writers who gave Anderson his own literary inspiration,and who gave them theirs.I am still grateful for this book,and I include my thanks for its ability to bring back wonder to daily life,and make me realize that life HERE is glorious,and will be better.
Oh,and it's just great entertainment,and fun,too.

How to survive a heart attack.......2007-05-13
While going through cardiac rehab after my heart attack, I picked up this book and began reading it on the treadmill at the hospital. That's how desparate I was! The authors give a thorough review of the current information on cardiac health and how to maintain it. No surprises, just a low-fat, low-salt diet, exercise, reduce stress, and take your meds. They describe all the meds and their purposes.
This is the best book to give to anyone in danger of heart problems. I have given several copies to family members and friends.

Book Description
IN 1945, FORTUNE MAGAZINE named Betty Crocker the second most popular American woman, right behind Eleanor Roosevelt, and dubbed Betty America's First Lady of Food. Not bad for a gal who never actually existed.
"Born" in 1921 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to proud corporate parents, Betty Crocker has grown, over eight decades, into one of the most successful branding campaigns the world has ever known. Now, at long last, she has her own biography. Finding Betty Crocker draws on six years of research plus an unprecedented look into the General Mills archives to reveal how a fictitious spokesperson was enthusiastically welcomed into kitchens and shopping carts across the nation.
The Washburn Crosby Company (one of the forerunners to General Mills) chose the cheery all-American "Betty" as a first name and paired it with Crocker, after William Crocker, a well-loved company director. Betty was to be the newest member of the Home Service Department, where she would be a "friend" to consumers in search of advice on baking -- and, in an unexpected twist, their personal lives.
Soon Betty Crocker had her own national radio show, which, during the Great Depression and World War II, broadcast money-saving recipes, rationing tips, and messages of hope. Over 700,000 women joined Betty's wartime Home Legion program, while more than one million women -- and men -- registered for the Betty Crocker Cooking School of the Air during its twenty-seven-year run.
At the height of Betty Crocker's popularity in the 1940s, she received as many as four to five thousand letters daily, care of General Mills. When her first full-scale cookbook, Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book, or "Big Red," as it is affectionately known, was released in 1950, first-year sales rivaled those of the Bible. Today, over two hundred products bear her name, along with thousands of recipe booklets and cookbooks, an interactive website, and a newspaper column.
What is it about Betty? In answering the question of why everyone was buying what she was selling, author Susan Marks offers an entertaining, charming, and utterly unique look -- through words and images -- at an American icon situated between profound symbolism and classic kitchen kitsch.

An amazing look at an enduring culinary and marketing history figure.......2007-10-05
Finding Betty Crocker: The Secret Life of America's First Lady of Food is the true story behind a commercial icon of 1950's homemaking - Betty Crocker. Created in 1921 as a "friend to homemakers" for the Washburn Crosby Company (a forerunner of modern-day General Mills), "Betty Crocker" was in fact the collective women of the Home Service Department who signed Betty's name. Betty Crocker's local radio show on WCCO expanded, as audiences across the nation learned to appreciate her money-saving recipes and wrote her nearly 5,000 fan letters a day. An amazing look at an enduring culinary and marketing history figure, illustrated with vintage black-and-white photographs.
Found Her.......2007-06-17
This is a delightful book! Susan Marks has researched it well, and tells the story of the selling of American women with clarity and humor. That our mothers were so shamelessly manipulated is appalling, but many good meals came out of it, and, in all honesty, Betty Crocker inspired many women to branch out and create their own recipes using mixes and prepared foods as a basis. It was a very pleasant read and a marvelous depiction of a period in the evolution of American women.
What a waste of time..........2005-12-01
I suppose there's a book coming out for the male counterpart to Betty Crocker, Mr. Duncan Hines. What, there's no Duncan Hines? Well, then surely we'll get biographies of Mr. Clean or the Tidy Bowl Man next then. As if decades of fooling a guillible mass-consumer market weren't enough, here "she" goes again by getting those to buy into "her" biography hook, line and sinker. What fun. Enjoy this garbage if you are into it. Otherwise, avoid.
A tribute to an American icon.......2005-11-26
Over eight decades, Betty Crocker has been one of the most recognizable American advertising icons. Marks' book focuses not just on the image of Betty Crocker, but on her relationship with the American housewife and how she shaped the face of American homemaking. Betty's recipes revolutionized homemaking, and she called for standard pan size and baking temperatures while recommending that only high quality Gold Medal flour be used in baking. Later, Betty's mixes made the homemaker move away from scratch cooking and toward a standard, pre-packaged baking product.
I was fascinated by the Betty Crocker radio program and by the letters from homemakers to Betty. Marks' book is comprehensive, full of excellent illustrations of advertisements, recipes, magazine spreads, letters, and more, and it makes for gripping reading.
Marks skimps on the criticism.......2005-07-07
While Susan Marks' liberal use of uppity prose in this book helped keep my mind from my lackluster summer, I don't think "Finding Betty Crocker" performs to its fullest capacity. Marks goes to great lengths showing how Betty Crocker was a staple of '50s kitchen kitsch who served a greater purpose: helping millions of everyday women cope during the Depression and World War II. I walked away from this book with a greater understanding of why my grandmother and great-aunts spoke so fondly of their favorite anonymous homemaker. Marks' prose, however cheery, walks the fine line between nonfiction and public relations: she never mentions the role Betty Crocker and General Mills played in telling millions of U.S. housewives that culinary perfection would equal marital bliss during the mid-20th century or covering up a scientific study that showed white bread to be less healthy than perceived. If Marks had gone deeper with these issues and scrapped a 20-page chapter describing the various Betty Crocker Test Kitchens, I think this book would have been much stronger. That said, however, I could really go for some Devil's Food right now! I guess Susan has done her job.
