Books with author Herbert JENKINS

About the Book Satire is a genre of literature where vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings in humans and their institutions are held up to ridicule with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into reform. While satire is generally meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is generally constructive social criticism.

Berry Face, the great She-Bear, will never, ever, ever stop searching for Lick, her funny little cub who has been stolen from the den by his wicked uncle . . . “An animal world that is refreshingly different. Recommended for young fans of animal-oriented fantasy. Filled with not just action and adventure, but numerous thought-provoking moments that will keep them interested to the end.”- Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review“Long Claw the eagle plunged into the clearing like a lightning bolt, her enormous talons extended, her terrifying beak open. Wazi the human and Berry Face the bear ducked as deadly claws swept over their heads. Then, a miraculous thing happened. Berry Face rose up on her hind legs. Wazi raced up the bear’s back, planted her feet on the bear’s massive shoulders and leaped! Up, up, up into the night sky. No human girl had ever leaped so high!” Berry Face is the second book of SHARP TEETH, FLAT TEETH, an animal fantasy that tells the stories of the Fur Clans that evolve in the Woods Beyond the Broken Lands. Follow the adventures of Three Paws the Beaver, Flitter the pack rat, Snaggletooth the Cougar, and Wazi the sixteen year-old Shoshone Indian girl who gather near Blue Rock to form a new society, the Family of Good Manners.“The stories are uplifting, challenging, exciting, and ultimately meant to blow your mind.”

John Dene comes to England with a great invention, and the intention of gingering-up the Admiralty. His directness and unconventional methods bewilder and embarrass the officials at Whitehall, where, according to him, most of the jobs are held by those “whose great-grandfathers had a pleasant way of saying how-do-you-do to a prince.”Suddenly John Dene disappears, and the whole civilised world is amazed at an offer of £20,000 for news of him. Scotland Yard is disorganised by tons of letters and thousands of callers. Questions are asked in the House, the Government becomes anxious, only Department Z retains its equanimity.This book introduced several of Herbert Jenkin's popular characters to the reading world: John Dene himself; Jenkin's version of the great detective, Malcolm Sage; Dene's secretary, and ultimately wife, Dorothy, and several members of the future staff of the Malcolm Sage Detective Bureau. Our edition has been carefully edited and annotated, and includes a new Afterword.

"Yes, that is the Admiralty," she replied gravely in a voice that caused John Dene momentarily to forget the Admiralty and all its works. "Much obliged," he said, again lifting his hat as she walked away; but instead of continuing on his way, John Dene stood watching the girl until she disappeared up the Duke of York's steps. Then once more twirling his cigar in his mouth and hunching his shoulders, he walked towards the doorway she had indicated. "This the Admiralty?" he enquired of the policeman. "Yes, sir," was the reply. "Did you want to see any one?" John Dene looked at the man in surprise. "Why should I be here if I didn't?" he asked. "I want to see the First Lord."
