Continuing a Kent Family tradition, Martha has put together an heirloom cookbook full of Clark’s favorite dishes… with help from his friends and colleagues, of course. Together, they’ve recreated the beef bourguignon and ketchup from Clark and Lois’s first date, Cyborg’s lucky game day potato skins, and J’onn’s Chocos.

The best entries in an Oxford-based short story competition are published in this collection. Each story reveals the joys, anxieties and complex private lives of people travelling on the No 13 bus between Oxford Station and the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Funds raised through the sale of Double-Decker are being donated to the hospital's charity, Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds (registered charity 1057295), helping to provide the best medical equipment, research and facilities for patients and staff across our hospitals.
Things happen in Beaumont Street, but what? To Whom? What really goes on behind the elegant facades of the Ashmolean Museum and the Randolph Hotel? You'd be surprised. Could that really happen in the Playhouse? In this book, it does. A group of Oxford writers have let their imaginations roam through the past, present and even the future to produce a collection of short stories, all based in Beaumont Street. The result is an entertaining read, just as enjoyable to those who know Oxford well as it will be to its many visitors. But be warned: once you have read this book you'll never see Beaumont Street the same way again. All profits from the publications of this book are being donated to the Ashmolean Museum

Sharp left by the school and down the lane to the gas works. The gasworks? I, a dentist, heading for the gasworks in a small Welsh market town? It was the furnace I wanted... From the dramatic scenery of Snowdonia and the Gower to the stunning coastlines and hushed valleys, the landscapes of Wales have inspired many writers of Golden Age mystery stories - from within and without its borders. Centred around a lost novella by Cledwyn Hughes, this new collection features the best stories from celebrated Welsh authors such as Mary Fitt and Ethel Lina White, as well as short mysteries inspired by or set in the cities and wilds of the country by both beloved Golden Age writers and authors from the 1960s and 70s who continued to push the boundaries of the genre.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit all make their appearances, and are now familiar figures in writing, conversation and idiom.

A sinister case of deadly poisoned chocolates from Sodbury Cross's high street shop haunts the group of friends and relatives assembled at Bellegarde, among the orchards of 'peach-fancier' Marcus Chesney. To prove a point about how the sweets could have been poisoned under the nose of the shopkeeper, Chesney stages an elaborate memory game to test whether any of his guests can see beyond their 'black spectacles'; that is, to see the truth without assumptions as witnesses. During the test - which is also being filmed - Chesney is murdered by his accomplice, dressed head to toe in an 'invisible man' disguise. The keen wits of Dr Gideon Fell are called for to crack this brazen and bizarre murder committed in full view of an audience. Also known by its US title The Problem of the Green Capsule, this classic novel is widely regarded as one of John Dickson Carr's masterpieces and remains among the greatest impossible crime mysteries of all time.
