Serier: Jenna's Creek
Edited a description (Engelsk)
Jenna's Creek is an imaginary small town in 20th century Ohio. The author, Teresa Slack, said "When people say nothing ever happens in a small town, they just aren’t paying attention. I grew up in southern Ohio and something was always going on…if you just took the time to open your eyes and shut your mouth. My fascination with small town scandals birthed the Jenna’s Creek Series." The series is primarily about Christian themes, woven in around romances, crimes, and family secrets, and the intertwining of past and present."

Edited a description (Engelsk)
The series is inspired by both Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and fantasy fiction. It takes place in a world that is inhabited by both humans, who have a medieval social structure, and the Oldkind, supernatural beings.The latter are divided into three groups, Tekari, who are hostile to human beings (gryphons, lamia, direwolves, worms, banshees); Shani, who are friendly (wyverns, dragons, beoryn, forge-wights, goblins, hobgoblins, wood-wights); and Idar, who are indifferent, but not harmless if disturbed (trolls). Besides the usual social classes, humans are divided between riders and nakla. Riders bond with wyverns, beoryns, and descendants of Edan the Fireborn, with dragons. The bond is very close. Nakla warriors are called Rangers. Humans worship one or more facets of the Fourfold God: Mikla (Protector, W), Thell (Unmaker, S), Janna (Provider, E), Odei (Creator, N). All but Thell are represented as veiled. (Heartstone pp.87-89)

Chancellor Anubis takes a young orphaned girl, Sariphi, or Sari, in chains to the King of Beasts as the 99th sacrifice. Unlike previous sacrifices, she does not wail and beg for her life. When Anubis describes her a meager and not worth eating, protests being speaking of so slightingly, and insists that parts of her are quite delicious. . .=======The King of the Beasts and Demons regularly receives female human sacrifices to eat in order to assert the dominance of his people over the human race. However, for the 99th sacrifice, the human girl brought to the capital, Sariphi, intrigues the Beast King. In fact she isn't afraid of him or any other beast and even accepts her death without begging or crying as she has neither home nor family to return to if she were released. The King finds her intriguing and let her stay at his side as his consort despite being human. This is the story of how Sariphi will become the queen of the demons and beasts.

Serier: Wakanreo
Added a description (Engelsk)
This series takes place mostly on the planet of Wakanreo. ThreeCom thought it was premature to contact the planet and offer them a membership, but Terrans were able to push them into contact. The Wakanreans are extremely advance chemists, and business interests wanted access.The results have not been altogether happy. Terrans are similar enough to Wakanreans to interbreed, and also to throw a wrench into the process by which Wakanreans mate. Resentment in some quarters is becoming violent.Caught up in this, and partly a trigger, is the family of Dina Bellaire (Terran) and Kuaron Du (Wakaranean). The two became irrevocably, monogamously bonded in the Wakarean manner. The union has been personally happy, but, since Kuaron is from a distinguished family, these was considered particularly outrageous, but there's no way to undo it.Wakarean public opinion became even more negative when they produced two children.The result is a potentially explosive struggle. Radical elements want to force ThreeCom off planet, hopefully with the mixed species children.

In the seventh century, during the Tang dynasty, a Chinese Buddhist priest named Xuan Zang (c.596-664) embarked on a dangerous pilgrimage to India to bring Buddhist scriptures back to China. The entire journey lasted twenty years. The priest returned to China in 645 bearing some six hundred texts and devoted the rest of his life to translating these into Chinese. In addition, he dictated a travelogue to a disciple and called it The Tang Record of the Western Territories. In it he recounted details from his journey, the people he had met, and the harsh geography he survived (he scaled three of Asia's highest mountain ranges and nearly died of thirst on the desert plains.)Xuan Zang became a favorite of the Tang Emperor and a famous religious folk hero. For the next one thousand years, the story of his pilgrimage inspired the literary imagination of storytellers and writers who embellished the journey with unbelievable episodes and fantastic characters drawn from popular folklore. In the thirteenth century, a supernatural monkey and pig became the priest's travel companions.[...]Although written anonymously, there is much evidence showing that Journey to the West was most likely written around 1575 by a court official, poet, and humor writer name Wu Cheng'en (c. 1500-82).

Salt was a couple of years ahead of Penny and Louise in school.Mildred Wirt, whose married name was Benson, wrote 23 of the first 25 Nancy Drew books, and more later, under the house pen-name of Carolyn Keene. Benson, who was a newspaper reporter herself, favored Penny Parker over all the other books she wrote, including Nancy Drew. Her obituary quoted her as saying, " 'I always thought Penny Parker was a better Nancy Drew than Nancy is,' Mrs. Benson said in 1993.". The series, which is now in the public domain, has been rewritten by Alice Simpson. The names of the books have been changed. The first book, Tale of the Witch Doll has been adapted as Peril at the Pink Lotus. Penny Parker has become Jane Carter, widow of a journalist, who has come back home to live with her father. Most of the characters are renamed, and some, like Penny's best chum, Louise Sidell, have been expanded. Attitudes which would now be considered racist have been updated, and the women are a bit more independent, not that they weren't already pretty independent in the originals.

This quirky historical cozy mystery series is set in the fictional American city of Greenville during the 1920s and features Jane Carter, a young widow who returns home to live with her father after the tragic death of her journalist husband.This series is adapted from Mildrid Wirt’s Penny Parker mysteries, which have fallen into the public domain. The author has made extensive alterations and additions to both the characters and plots of the original novels: Penny Parker is a teenager whereas Jane is a widow in her 20s. Readers familiar with Ms. Wirt’s stories will notice many similarities.See also: Penny Parker Mystery StoriesThese are murderless mysteries. Despite a constant crime wave, there seem to be no murders in the city of Greenville. There may be plenty of peril in the form of kidnappings, heists, and the occasional assault, but nobody ever dies, and justice is always served.Jane’s father owns a local newspaper and wants Jane to take it over someday, but Jane is adamant that she has no desire to be a reporter. Instead, she turns her talent for writing to concocting melodramatic romances for fly-by-night rags who almost never pay on time. Not only has Jane vowed she will never be a newspaperman herself, she's doubly insistent on never again marrying one.Accompanying Jane on her adventures is her best friend, Florence. Jane and Flo may get into one perilous situation after another, but they are never damsels in distress, because, as Jane puts it, "A real lady always carries her own pocket knife."All this getting into harm's way alarms her father's housekeeper, Mrs. Timms. Mrs. Timms believes it's her mission in life to turn motherless Jane into a proper lady, but seeing as Jane has just turned twenty-four, Mrs. Timms considerable efforts appear to have been in vain. However, the housekeeper won't give up trying, just as Jane won't give up on seeing Mrs. Timms and her father center-aisling it to the altar and saying, "I do."

They started out their career as accidental blackmailers (in a search of adventure and money), but the detecting life soon proved more profitable and much more exciting.Tuppence appears as a charismatic, impulsive, and intuitive person while Tommy is less imaginative and less likely to be diverted from the truth which is why they are shown to make a good team. It is in this first book The Secret Adversary that they meet up after the World War I, and come to realise that, although they have been friends for most of their lives, they have now fallen in love with each other.Unlike many other recurring detective characters, including the better known Christie detectives, Tommy and Tuppence aged in time with the real world, from their early twenties to their seventies. The stories and settings have a more pronounced period-specific flavour than the stories featuring the better known Christie characters. Tommy and Tuppence in Wikipedia

The most powerful are part of the Royal Cabal, and work for the king. They are allergic to gun powder, and hate the power mages, who are the only people able to kill them. They do die if stabbed or shot, but usually they can destroy their attackers before they can act, and they are in any case well guarded.Predeii are similar to the Privileged, but they are much more powerful, and very difficult to kill. They are very long-lived. They had been forgotten, but some have made themselves known during at the time of Promise of BloodPowder Mages are able to control black powder, whether using it to make extremely accurate long shots, and even control a bullet in flight. It is also a stimulant to them which heightens the senses, enhances reaction time, strength and endurance. Because of their ability to make very long shots, they are the only people who can generally succeed in killing the PrivilegedThe Knacked are people who have one very strong talent: this can include going completely without sleep, an eidetic memory, or other things.Unknown magical workers include Ka-poel, a woman, although she appears to be a child, whose magic is powerful, but not understood by outsiders. She often works with wax dolls, which she can use to affect other living beings.Most magic workers have a "third eye" which they can use to contact Elsewhere, a different view of the world which reveals magic.

Foner, including character information for the EarthCent Ambassador series: http://www.ifitbreaks.com/ Although each book is self-contained, i.e. no cliff-hangers, it is a good idea to read them in order.********I wrote Date Night on Union Station while taking a break from work on a science fiction epic I've been struggling with for years. The goal was to cheer myself up and to find out if there is still an audience for a science fiction comedy that gets its laughs from dialogue and funny situations rather than from gross-outs and shocks. I received so many requests to extend the Date Night universe into a series that I put aside my epic for an extended period to write a sequel, Alien Night on Union Station, and I've since become addicted to the characters who seem to be writing themselves. Especially the dog.The EarthCent series could be rated PG, no bloodshed, no graphic sex, no four letter words. And after years of imagining a galaxy for my epic in which multiple human civilizations are at war with each other, it did me a world of good to write about a galaxy where most people are just trying to make a living and find some joy in life.Each book is a self-contained story so there are no cliff-hangers. My main interest in the EarthCent universe, aside from the relations between people, aliens and AI, is imagining what happens with species who have had access to high-tech for, in some cases, tens of millions of years. Do they continue to work? Do they continue to care? Do they die out, go back to nature, try to elevate themselves to gods? How do the nearly omniscient AI deal with issues like monetary policy and rental agreements? [retrieved 5/5/2016 from the Author Page at Amazon.com]

Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger is a member of a large and powerful noble plebeian family in Rome. He is something of a black sheep, especially in the eyes of his generally disapproving father, DCM the Elder. Born in the early 90s BCE (dates are a bit approximate), he lives through the turbulent years of the ending of the republic and into the age of Augustus.The stories are written as memoirs towards the end of his long life. Cynical though he often is, Decius Caecilius also has a certain irrepressible cheer. He loves his position, his city and his comforts, but he is up to almost anything.The series is discussed in "John Maddox Roberts and Steven Saylor: Detecting in the Final Decades of the Roman Republic" by Terrance L. Lewis in: The Detective as Historian ed. by Ray B. Browne and Lawrence A. Kreiser, Jr. (Bowling Green, OH : Bowling Green State University, 2000), pp. 22-31.My apologies to people in cases where I have changed the name that you put in Common Knowledge, but some of these people were in under multiple names, e.g. four variations on Julia, the name of Decius's wife, and I have tried to combine them under a name that was correct yet distinctive. I haven't decided what to do with her uncle, since most of the books in Librarything are under "Julius Caesar," which I think is wrong.Wikipedia page SPQR series

Frederick Frankford Fletcher was a clumsy, nerdy, socially inept accountant working for a firm, until he was turned into a vampire. He immediately started his own firm so that he could work nights, gained a vampire's astounding physical prowess, and remained nerdy and socially inept. Things start happening when he decides to attend his tenth year high school reunion (it seemed like a good idea at the time.) It turns out that parahumans helped the Americans win the Revolution, and in return were granted special privileges, although they keep a low profile. A super top-secret agency deals with their affairs, and with individuals that go rogue. If this sounds sadly like the Native American, consider the difficulty of sending werewolves and demons on a Trail of Tears.The first book in this humorous series is told like a series of interrelated short stories making up a novel.

The series begins after The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: Dreadnaught and otherwise takes place at the same time as the Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier series, and occasionally intersects with it.My suggestion, if you want to read the two series as chronologically as possible is to read:Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: DreadnaughtThe Lost Stars: Tarnished KnightLost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: InvincibleThe Lost Stars: Perilous ShieldLost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: GuardianOn the other hand, Campbell seems to go in for cliffhanger endings in this series, so you may not want to wait to read the next installment.

Serier: Marching with Caesar
Added a description (Engelsk)
This was apparently first written as a four-book series. It has since been expanded. It is told as a memoir by Titus Pullus aged 61, three years after retiring as Camp Prefect. It chronicles his adventures with his best friend, Vibius Domitius, both drafted into the 10th legion in 61 BC/BCE.Originally Marching with Caesar: Conquest of Gaul was both the first written and the first in a series. Later a prequel: Marching With Caesar®-Birth of the 10th Legion was added. The Triumph of Caesar is an alternate history which has as its premise that Julius Caesar heed the warnings about going ago the Senate, avoided assassination, and departed the next day as planned to fight Parthia. So successful is he that he ends up fighting Japan.A Comment from the author, downloaded 4/30/2014 from Amazon.com, Marching with Caesar: Conquest of Gaul:I am a 54 year old retired Infantry Marine, born and raised in Texas and currently living on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. I have been writing since my first novel, written at the age of 10, when my friends and yours truly fought off the Soviet hordes, who just happened to pick my block to launch their invasion. That was their big mistake. But like a lot of dreams, it got sidetracked until recently, when I decided to focus my passion on an era and subject that interested me a great deal. Like my characters in Ancient Rome, I have served as the pointy tip of the spear of our nation's policy, and it is with this perspective that I tell the story of Titus Pullus and his friends. This is my first published novel, and is the first in a completed four-book series that covers the career of Titus Pullus.

Serier: The Queen's Own FBI
Added a description (Engelsk)
Written by "Mark Phillips", a pseudonym of Gordon Randall Garrett and Laurence Mark Janifer, following the paranormal adventures of FBI agent Kenneth J. Malone in the 1970s. The series goes: Brain Twister, The Impossibles, Supermind, and each builds on events, characters and phenomena introduced in the earlier work, so reading in sequence is worthwhile. (All three are in Project Gutenberg, so that should be easy!) The long-suffering Malone keeps getting assigned to the wacky cases that nobody else can get to the bottom of, falling to whacks on the head and for gorgeous girls as he ploughs through them. All three are light, breezy, humorous gumshoe-meets-unexplained-phenomena yarns, and well worth a read. That Sweet Little Lady was expanded in Brain TwisterOut like a Light was expanded into The Impossibles
Occasion for Disaster was expanded to Supermind

Added a description (Engelsk)
The series begins in 1795, and centers around William Rees, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, a land owner, and a skilled weaver. Rees is restless, and can make more money as a weaver than as a farmer, so he left the farm in the hands of his wife, Dolly while he traveled around getting weaving jobs. Dolly died in 1787. Rees worked the farm for two years, but then invited his sister Caroline and her husband to run the farm in return for caring for his only child, David Rees. He did not recognize how badly his son was treated during his infrequent visits home, and David ran away in 1795, at the age of 13, to the Zion Shaker Community.

Serier: Dido Kent
Added a description (Engelsk)
Kirkus Reviews said: "If Jane Austen had written Miss Marple, she would have been Dido Kent." The stories begin in 1805, and mostly take place as the English spinster is visiting friends and relatives. Dido is uncomfortably outspoken and intelligent for many of her contemporaries, including possible suitors. She is drawn into various odd circumstances by a mixture of a desire to help and simple curiosity.Remarks from Anna Dean on the series:The Dido Kent series of mystery novels has grown out of many things including my enjoyment of puzzles and word-play, my love of the English countryside in which I have always lived, my interest in old houses, my time spent reading eighteenth and nineteenth century documents and my affection for the work of Jane Austen. The books are not in any sense continuations or 'spinoffs' of Austen's work. But they are set in the same period and they tend to focus on '3 or 4 families in a country village' - the setting which Jane Austen once described as 'the delight of my life.' There are also other influences and references, not only to the novels but also Jane Austen's own life. For example, the visit to Lyme in Bellfield Hall is influenced by Persuasion; there are parallels with Emma in A Gentleman of Fortune; and the ruined abbey in A Woman of Consequence owes much to Northanger Abbey. Readers unfamiliar with Austen's work need not worry about all this. These allusions and references are certainly not essential to understanding the stories. Sometimes though, there are extra clues which avid readers of Jane Austen may be able to pick up; but, beware, the references to her life and work are not always pointing you in the right direction… And just a quick note about names: Bellfield Hall was first published in Britain as A Moment of Silence and, in that version, the name of Edgar Montague's country house is Belsfield, not Bellfield. But the latter name was thought, by my U.S. publishers, to be more comfortable for American pronunciation.[retrieved March 29, 2014 from Amazon.com]

Whether it is his own son, or they are together for some other reason, none can tell. Indeed, the man's age, his country of origin, all are cloaked in mystery. What is known, my Lord, is his deadly skill. No one he has been hired to kill has ever escaped alive, and they say he leaves no trace of evidence behind… Those who hire him must reveal their secrets before he will accept the job. Yet though he could blackmail them, there is no evidence that any have tried to kill him once he has finished his work. In short, my Lord, his skill is so great that they dare not try."Lone Wolf is later revealed to be Ogami Itto, and has embarked on his bloody path intending to avenge his clan, suppressed by the Shogun, having refused to enact the penalty of seppuku, or ritual suicide. Daigoro is indeed his son. The work was begun in 1970, the stories serialized in Manga Action magazine under the title Kozure Okami "eventually spinning off a television series, six motion pictures, and even theme song records."The stories have been collected and published worldwide, winning numerous awards.

Serier: Lady Fan Mystery
Added a description (Engelsk)
I don't recall a precise date being given for this series, but it is definitely the Georgian era. Ottilia Draycott, the main character, decribed as being in her late twenties, was widowed by the Battle of Monmouth (June 28, 1778), so it is probably not much later than 1788.
Ottilia, both out of boredom and a desire not to be a burden on her brother, whose two sons she has been raising, takes a job is as a temporary companion to the Dowager Marchioness of Polbrook, while the regular companion Tess Mellis recovers from a broken leg. The series opens with the murder of Emily, Marchioness of Polbrook, with her husband as the most obvious suspect. In the process of solving the case, she and Lord Francis Fanshawe, the Marquis's younger brother, fall in love and marry, hence her nickname, Lady Fan.

Added a description (Engelsk)
The premise of this series is that a group of mercenaries, known as the Damned and led by Captain Gideon, failed in their duty to protect a caravan. They did die gallantly attempting to rescue the survivors. and the Lord and Lady of the River offered them a chance at salvation. They would live in a sort of sleep for centuries in the depths of the river. Those who knew the proper spell, to be recited on the spring solstice, could request them as champions in a just cause. If the gods approved, they would be released to serve the supplicant. They had until the summer equinox to succeed, or they, and the supplicant, would be damned until the end of time. The five, Gideon, Kane, Murdoch, Averel and Duncan are aided by animal avatars that rest as painting on their shields until released by the proper spell. They have supernatural powers of healing, and do not age. In the series, they are summoned by Merewan, who is oppressed, along with her people at her estate, but her guardian uncle. What she does not realize is that there is a more serious magical evil threatening the entire country.

"The country of Lescar was born out or civil war. Carved out of the collapse of the Old Tormalin Empire, the land has long been laid waste by its rival dukes, while bordering nations look on with indifference or exploit its misery. But a mismatched band of exiles and rebels are agreed that the time has come for change, and they begin to put a scheme together for revolution." from the cover of Irons in the Fire.This series has an usually rich mixture of swords, sorcery and politics. The six dukes of Lescar are each convinced that he is the rightful high king, and they beggar and devastate the lives of their subjects in endless warfare. Many families smuggle at least one member out to neighboring countries such as Ensaimin, a collection of city states, including the city of Vanam. Magical persons are divided into the trained wizards, proper, who practice elemental magic, and are under the leadership of Archmage Planir the Black. In addition, there are practitioners of Aetheric or Artifice magic. People generally cannot practice both elemental and Aetheric magic, and these people are technically not under the control of the Archmage. There are also Mageborn, people with a natural skill for elemental magic, who may try to stay under the Archmage's radar.

Hero or villain? Charlatan or true prophet? Sinner or saint? The volume in the Reputations series examine the reputations of some of history's most conspicuous, powerful and influential individuals, considering a range of representations, some of striking incompatibility. The aim is not merely to demonstrate that history is indeed, in Pieter Geyl's phrase, 'argument without end', but that the study of even contradictory conceptions can be fruitful: that the jettisoning of one these or presentation leaves behind something of value. [...] There is a commitment in each volume to showing how understanding of an individual develops (sometimes in uneven and divergent ways), whether in response to fresh evidence or waning of dominant ideologies, changing attitudes and preoccupations of the age in which an author writes, or the creation of new historical paradigms. [..] [taken from the "General editorial preface", in Edward IV]

Serier: The Agency Trilogy
Added a description (Engelsk)
Mary Quinn, sentenced as a thief at the age of twelve, is rescued from the gallows by a woman posing as a prison warden. In her new home, Miss Scrimshaw's Academy for Girls, Mary acquires a singular education, fine manners, and a surprising opportunity. The school is a cover for the Agency--an elite, top secret corps of female investigators with a reputation for results--and at seventeen, Mary joins their ranks. Y.S. Lee says of her series: "Women's choices were grim in those days, even for the clever. If a top secret women's detective agency existed in Victorian England, it left no evidence--just as well, since that would cast doubts on its competence. The Agency is a totally unrealistic, completely fictitious antidote to the fate that would otherwise swallow a girl like Mary Quinn."

Serier: The Old Kingdom
Added a description (Engelsk)
The story takes place in The Old Kingdom and its southern neighbor Ancelstierre. The Old Kingdom is filled with magic: technology does not work there. Originally, all was Free Magic, but seven great practitioners created The Charter, and its attendant Charter Magic to control the chaos. The Charter is manifested in the Charter Stones and in three bloodlines: The Royal family, the family of the Abhorsen, and the Clayr.Technology does work in most of Ancelstierre, and there is a wall marking the approximate division between the countries and magic and technology. Ancelstierrre's society seems to be somewhat similar to early 20th century Europe. Magic is not entirely impossible in Ancelstierre, especially when a north wind is blowing, and most people who do not live in the north don't believe in it. Ancelstierre maintains a Perimeter, to which access is strictly limited, and anyone living near there believes in magic. The soldier guarding the perimeter use guns, but always have swords on hand for when the magic seeping over the border cause technology to fail.One of the greatest dangers to the Old Kingdom, and by extension northern Ancelstierre, is the wandering of dead spirits and the activities of necromancers, who use bells in their work. The Abhorsen (the word is a title) is a sort of anti-necromancer, the only one authorized the user of the bells. He or she enters Death, a strange, perilous river with nine gates. He returns the dead to Death, hopefully sending them past the ninth gate, from which there is no return. He may sometimes rescue people from Death, if they have not travelled too far.Lirael and Abhorsen are in effect one novel. [Nicholas Sayre and] The Creature in the Case can also be considered a part of this novel, since it takes up six months after the other ends and continues Nicholas and Lirael's story.

Don't get too frustrated trying to read these in exact order. Some stories are taking place simultaneously, and the short stories in the Gazettes are set at different times. Eric Flint says that he is trying "to portray as far as possible the chaos and complexity of real history." This is the reading order recommended by Eric Flint in the afterword to 1635: The Tangled Web for the Ring of Fire series, also known as the 1632 series, and part of the Assiti Shards series. This is split into sections in order to convey Flint's opinion that certain Grantville Gazettes, marked with the decimal ".9x" should be written in conjunction with some of the novels, but not in any particular order. As an example, the Grantville Gazettes marked 1.9x should be read while reading the "1" novels, but no particular order is assigned. Titles which have the same number should be read about the same time, e.g. Ring of Fire I and Grantville Gazette I. No matter how carefully you follow this, things will still not be entirely in strict chronological order. (Sufficiently confused?) The works can also be read in an order reflecting the area of the world with which they are chiefly concerned, e.g. the Baltic versus southern Europe. For a discussion of that, see the Wikipedia article reference at the end of these notes.Parts of the Earth accidentally displaced backwards in time by art works of the Assiti. The 1632 series, based on a single displacement of a West Virginia back to Germany in the 30 Years War, is the lead series. They are actually transported to 1631, but supposedly the publisher thought that 1632 was a more appealing title.The series, including the reading order, is discussed at some length in Wikipedia: 1632 series, which also has links to the official fan site etc.

He studied not only at Cambirdges's Peterhouse College, but also at Oxford, and at the University of Paris under Ibn Ibrahim, who taught the importance of cleanliness and hands on practice. His attempts to follow these methods occasionally get him into trouble with colleagues who emphasize the traditional philosophical methods. The series is discussed in "Susanna Gregory: Doctor Matthew Bartholomew, Master of Medicine and Detection" by Jean Coakley in: The Detective as Historian ed. by Ray B. Browne and Lawrence A.

Serier: Mythology of all races
Added a description (Engelsk)
The Mythology of All Races is a series of thirteen volumes covering mythology world-wide, originally published between 1916 and 1932. It has been reissued at least twice.Some volumes covered mythology for only one group, others covered two groups which might be completely unrelated and be treated by different authors. The volumes contain numerous illustrations, usually in black-and-white. The thirteenth volume is a detailed index to the other twelve; they are not separately indexed.The Library of Congress cataloged the individual volumes (except the index) under the name of the mythology, but also cataloged the entire thirteen volume set. In addition, the individual volumes are sometimes cataloged under the general title Mythology of All Races with either the name of the mythology(s) or the volume number (in either Arabic or Roman numerals) to distinquish them.To add to the confusion, the individual volumes are sometimes cataloged under the general editor Louis Herbert Gray, rather than the individual authors. Good luck trying to pull all the variant catalog records together into works!

Serier: Aetherial Tales
Added a description (Engelsk)
The Aetherials are an ancient magic race. They live both on Earth (the Vaethyr) and in the Spiral (the Aeslr.) Before human beings became so numerous, they crossed freely between the two dimensions. Now there is a great gate, in England, and smaller portals spread around the world. The Vaethyr can sense realities on Earth beyond the mundane, the bluish Dusklands, as well as beings such as dryads and elementals. The gatekeeper is supposed to open the gate every seven years, allowing the Aetherials who live on earth to cross over into the spiral. At this time, their children are initiated into the secrets of their people. Sometimes, it is too dangerous to open the gate. Lawrence Wilder, the present gatekeeper not only has refused to open the great gate once, but has sealed all portals declares that it may never be possible to cross again. Distressed at the loss of their heritage, and alienated by Lawrence's haughtiness, some of the Aetherials begin a protest and possible rebellion, while others wish to forget their magical past and become as humans.

Added a description (Engelsk)
The story is set in approximately 3,000 BC, in what is now modern Iraq. Horse nomads, migrating large distances, attack and loot villages of "dirt-eaters". Usually, villages attempt to flee and rebuild if they escape.In one very large village, Orak (Akkad) on the Tigris river, learns that they are probably going to be attacked in a few months. Nicar, patriarch of one the the five Noble families, sends for Eskkar, the most experienced soldier who hasn't fled, and asks if it is possible to defend the village.Eskkar was originally a horse nomad, but his clan was wiped out, and he has worked as a mercenary ever since. He believes that it is possible to build a wall around Okad and defend it. Nicar gives him Trella, a young slave, whose father, a leader in another village, lost out in a power struggle. She has an understanding of power and politics that Eskkar lacks, and the two join forces both to save the city, and to survive the power struggles that ensue.

Serier: Miss Marple: Chronological
Added a description (Engelsk)
This is an attempt to arrange the Miss Marple stories, both novels and short stories, in chronological order by occurrence rather than by publication date.Please do not put anthologies into this sequence as they do not work into the chronology and it defeats the purpose. The short stories are already listed in order with the relevant anthologies given in the descriptions. Feel free to add any other collections to those descriptions. Anthologies should be put in the other Miss Marple series. If you insist on putting one here, at least please don't eliminate the short stories.The basis for the chronology is from Ann Hart's The Life and Times of Miss Jane Marple (New York : Dodd, Mead & Co., 1985).Short stories that form a set are under the same number, differentiated by a decimal. The "Tuesday Night Club" mysteries, or "Tuesday Club Murders", for example, are numbers 1.1 to 1.6, and the stories told at the Bantrys' dinner party are 2.1 to 2.6.

I have done my best to put these in chronological order, but Tourney does not always give specific dates, and some details do not match up. The books also overlap, since the Prologue may take place months before the main action, but they are organized by the timing of the latter. The beginning of The Players' Boy is Dead is said to be 15 years after the death of Philip Sidney and 8 after the death of Christopher Marlowe, which would be 1601; Matthew would then meet Robert Cecil in April 1602. Elizabeth I dies March 1603. The following six novels have to be between those two dates since the Stocks know Cecil and the Queen is alive. But it does not make sense that Joan & Matthew's daughter, having announced her pregnancy in April 1602 has already had her child by July 1602, but that is the only way that Low Treason can be taking place in July of an unspecified year. Likewise, Old Saxon Blood is supposed to take place about a year after Low Treason but it is only a matter of months. Familiar Spirits apparently takes place during Old Saxon Blood, apparently after the Stocks' trip to Whitehall Palace in London, but before their departure for Derbyshire. This could be resolved if Players' Boystarted in 1599, and Low Treason could then take place in 1601. The next five books have to take place in 1602.
