Another hair-raising adventure featuring the aristocratic brother and sister sleuthing duo!

"The two aristocratic siblings Blotto and Twinks are once again launched into another death-defying adventure, this time in the civil war-torn republic of Jalapeno, in Mexico. But how did they ever get to such a foreign and distant land in the first place? For Twinks it was an easy decision - to escape her mother's match-making attempts she sets out to visit her old friend, Begonia Guiteras, who lives in Jalapeno, which is fortuitously on the doorstep of an Aztec dig Twinks wants to work on. Unfortunately, her visit coincides with the War for Jalapeno Independence, headed by Colonel Henriquez Guiteras, Begonia's father. At the same time, Twinks's excavation of the Aztec site is revealing the exciting prospect of a hoard of Conquistadors' gold - but will taking it away from the burial ground unleash the dreaded Curse of Attatotalloss? Into this confusion stumbles Blotto, who only comes to Mexico as he's missing his sister. On being reunited with Twinks they then discover Begonia has been kidnapped by Mexican government forces and both set out to rescue her. This leads to many chases and challenges across the Mexican countryside, resulting in the capture of the twins where death by firing squad seems inevitable... but will trusty chauffeur Corky Froggett, as so very often in past adventures, be able to save the day?"--Publisher.

In this second of the galactic adventures of Arthur Dent, he is transported from a prehistoric Earth to a cricket match at Lords' Cricket Ground, two days before the Earth is to be demolished by the Vogens

Druhý díl humorně pojednává výchovu batolete z pohledu toho, jenž má situaci ve skutečnosti pevně v rukou: batolete samotného. Sotva si rodič zvykne na skutečnost, že jeho miminko, na které se tolik těšil, není až tak rozkošné, jak si bláhově maloval, a sotva si začne (naivně) myslet, že to se svou ratolestí „umí“, vytasí se prevít s novými zbraněmi: naučí se mluvit a chodit. Bilingvní vydání.

V třetím dílu malý prevít, který v předchozích svazcích šikanoval a zcela zotročil své rodiče a domácí kočku, musí čelit nové výzvě, jež ohrožuje jeho dosud výsadní postavení: nyní proti němu nestojí jen On a Ona, ale také nový sourozenec. Jak se náš malý hrdina vyrovná s novými protivenstvími? Nepochybně jako pravý prevít! Někdo bude škaredě litovat, ale to už bude pozdě! Vyd. v bilingvní podobě.

The ninth thrilling adventure featuring the aristocratic brother and sister sleuthing duo, by accalimed crime writer Simon Brett.

Playing the corpse in a wooden murder mystery at the Regent Theatre, Rugland Spa, is not exactly a triumph for Charles Paris, actor. In fact his career could hardly sink any lower. But suddenly the mystery spills over into real life when a bizarre sequence of events culminates in the Artistic Director's apparent suicide. And the talents of Charles Paris, amateur sleuth, are called into action.

After Jude stumbles over the body of a murdered stable owner, she enlists the help of her friend Carole Seddon to solve the mystery
