Excerpt from WhitherHer voice trailed off into a soothing, clucking murmur as she led her temperamental cook down the hall. She left in the room a suggestion of scented soap and vigorous perfume, which Zoe found oddly pleasant.Zoe sat quite still on the bed after Mrs. Horne had left. She was a slender, brown, elfin thing, with slanting brown eyes and sooty lashes. Her hair, black and coarse as an Indian's, was cut short and clung in straggly wisps to her head. Zoe had bobbed it herself only the day before she came to New York. She had been a little disappointed in the result. When it had been long and done up in a more or less tidy knot at the nape of her neck, she had looked like an earnest young student or an assistant librarian. Bobbing it, she had thought to appear unaca demic - even modish, whereas she had looked merely immature. Still, there was an inner feel ing of tolerant sophistication which short hair gave one, and Zoe was glad, on the whole, that she had bobbed hers. It was the suitable gesture for a girl who was breaking off with her family and all the stupidities which Albon represented, for a career in New York.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When Roger’s uncle offered him an opportunity to help in his scientific laboratory while the boy’s parents were in Europe, Roger jumped at the chance. His uncle’s laboratory—one of the most perfectly equipped—was the most fascinating place in the world.Even the latest scientific devices, however, could not keep out the “Voice of Doom” which sounded hollowly through the laboratories in the dead of night, or prevent the ghostly antics of the phantom kangaroo and his ape-like companion...

You can be a Modern Pioneer. I will show you a House of Mystery, and once you step into its door you are in a land where there are more exciting activities packed into one day than you could get being a combination cow-hand, bad man, pirate and pony express rider. You may not be able to convoy an ox-team across a prairie, carry a squirrel gun and stand off scalping Sioux; but you will help battle against Pirate Fire, and Bad Man Erosion, and Bandit Microbe.

An absorbing adult love story is told against a vivid tapestry of contemporary follies. Frederick Olliver, scholar and recluse, emerges from his medieval research one night in the autumn of 1945 to find New York a strange and terrifying city, the peace, now being celebrated, as sinister and barbaric as the Dark Ages he has just left. In this Manhattan comedy of manners, the author makes highly entertaining yet profound comment on contemporary life and morals.
