Extrait : Dame Agatha Christie, née Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller (15 septembre 1890 - 12 janvier 1976), puis, après son second mariage, Lady Agatha Mallowan et, à partir de 1971, Dame Agatha Christie, était une femme de lettres britannique, auteure de nombreux romans policiers. Son nom est associé à celui de deux héros récurrents : Hercule Poirot, détective professionnel, et Miss Marple, détective amateur. On la surnomme la « Reine du crime » ; ceci fait d'elle l'une des plus importantes et des plus novatrices des écrivains (dans le développement du genre). Elle a aussi écrit plusieurs romans sous le pseudonyme de Mary Westmacott. Agatha Christie a publié plus de 80 romans, pièces de théâtre et recueils de nouvelles traduits dans le monde entier. Une grande partie d'entre eux se déroule à huis clos, ce qui permet au lecteur d'essayer de deviner le coupable avant la fin du récit. Une grande partie de ses romans et nouvelles a été adaptée au cinéma ou à la télévision, en particulier Le Crime de l'Orient-Express, Dix Petits Nègres, Mort sur le Nil, Le Train de 16 h 50 ou Le Meurtre de Roger Ackroyd. Agatha Christie est l'une des écrivains les plus connues au monde si l'o...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Two beautiful stories about determination.
Rabbit Ears have truly made many masterpieces over the years and these two stories are no exception.

In "The White Cat," three young princes try to outdo each other in the tasks that their father gives them in order to inherit his kingdom.However, the youngest son soon finds true love when he meets a beautiful white cat who lives in an extraordinary castle and helps him on his journey.

In "The Fool and the Flying Ship," the Tsar of Russia proclaims that whoever builds a flying ship will marry his daughter, the princess.However, when a wacky peasant decides to take the challenge and arrives to the palace with five odd super humans, the Tsar quickly has second thoughts about the proclamation he made.

In "The White Cat," Emma Thompson narrates this story with an aristocratic tone as most of the main characters are of royal blood and Joe Jackson's lovely melodies provides the story with a soothing and romantic tone.In "The Fool and the Flying Ship," Robin Williams narrates this story with such energy and humor that each character becomes alive as he gives each character a different Russian accent.The Klezmer Conservatory Band's music is both raucous and jazzy which makes this story extremely funny to listen to.Both of these stories are about determination as both lead characters are determined to obtain their goals, such as in "The White Cat" when the youngest prince tries to find love in the white cat and in "The Fool and the Flying Ship," the country fool is determined to build a flying ship and marry the princess.This audio CD is an instant treasure to both kids and adults and they will not be disappointed with this CD.

We all love our Christmas stories especially ones that remind us of the originals such as A Christmas Carol By the late C. Dickens.

Well how about one with different characters with a christian twist to it. We all know Jesus is the reason for the season. Well here he is in a Christmas story that will inspire, motivate and change hearts all over the world.

This list of characters are close but get closer to the end as Mr. Sleeze which is a similar man to Ebenezer Scrooge gets his heart touched not by ghost but you know it spirits, good spirits in this story. Look how Tiny Toe not Tim is treated but becomes loved by the Sleeze or Mr. Sleeze. I tell you what a turn a round Jesus can do to a person's heart.
