One of Thorne Smith's best-loved comedies, it proves once again that he is the undisputed master of urbane wit and sophisticated repartee.

But he doesn't have long to enjoy the peace and quiet before the irrepressible Kerbys materialize once again and start causing fracases, confusing the citizenry, alarming the gendarmes, getting naked, and turning every occasion into revelry or melee.

Description:
1955 NARNIA Chronicles 1st/1st C.S. LEWIS The Magician's Nephew Fantasy + DJ"The Magician's Nephew" written by C.S. Lewis and illustrated by Pauline Baynes, is the origin story of the fantastical world of Narnia. Published in 1955 as the sixth installment in "The Chronicles of Narnia" series, it is the first chronologically, revealing how Narnia came to be. The tale starts in England with two children who stumble upon a peculiar method of traveling between different worlds. Their adventures lead them to witness the majestic creation of Narnia by the powerful lion, Aslan. This act of creation draws on elements from our own world, like a seemingly out-of-place lamp-post. The narrative also sheds light on how various elements, such as the enigmatic White Witch and a human monarchy, became integral to Narnia. Lewis intertwines profound themes like temptation, morality, and the consequences of one's actions in this enchanting precursor to the beloved series.

WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
