The Red House Mystery
by A. A. MilneThe Red House, stately mansion home of Mark Ablett, is filled with very proper guests when Mark's most improper brother returns from Australia. When the maid hears an argument in the study it isn't long before the brother dies... of a bullet between the eyes! Strangely, the study has been locked from the inside, and Mark Ablett is missing. Only an investigator with remarkable powers of observation could hope to resolve this mystery, and Antony Gillingham (with cheerful Bill Beverly at his side) is just the man.
The Red House Mystery
by A. A. MilneA refreshing blend of wit and intrigue, A. A. Milne’s only mystery novel is a masterpieceMark Ablett is not really a snob—not the worst kind of snob, at least. He simply prefers artists to everyone else, and the discussion of his own creative abilities to any other talk whatsoever. His vanities are easily forgiven especially since he is generous with his money—inherited not from his clergyman father but from a neighborhood spinster who took a liking to him—and he is always willing to play the host at the Red House, his delightful country estate.One lazy summer morning, as his guests enjoy breakfast before a round of golf, Mark opens a surprising letter. His brother Robert, the black sheep of the family, gone some fifteen years now, is back from Australia and plans to call at the Red House that very afternoon. It is the first that Mark’s friends and servants have heard of a brother, but that shock is nothing compared to what happens next: After being shown into an empty office to wait for the master of the house, Robert is shot dead. Mark is nowhere to be found, not unlike the pistol that fired the fatal bullet. It is up to Tony Gillingham, man of leisure, and his young friend Bill Beverley to assume the roles of Sherlock and Watson and solve a crime so clever that Alexander Woollcott pronounced it “one of the three best mystery stories of all time.”Beloved children’s author A. A. Milne was a great fan of detective stories. His first and last attempt at the genre is an absolute delight—one of the most original and charming novels of the Golden Age of crime fiction. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Winnie the Pooh
by A. A. MilneSe vi è capitato di leggere un altro libro su Christopher Robin, forse ricorderete che una volta aveva un cigno (o che il cigno aveva Christopher Robin, non so quale delle due cose) e lo chiamava Pooh. È stato tanto tempo fa e quando ci siamo salutati, ci siamo portati via il nome, perché pensavamo che il cigno non lo volesse più. Ebbene, quando Orso Edoardo disse che avrebbe voluto un nome unico ed emozionante, Christopher Robin disse subito, senza nemmeno pensarci, che lui era Winnie the Pooh. E così fu.
