The Countess of Lowndes Square is a collection of short stories. They don't all involve crimes and whatnot, but several of them have to do with blackmail and other crimes. And they're all actually pretty humorous. One of them is a bit heavier, "In the Dark," but it turns out ok in the end.

If putting in a plug for one of my own projects is okay, I'd like to suggest Annual Reports to the Massachusetts Board of Education by Horace Mann. Mr. Mann is known as the "Father of the Common School". His reports, written between 1838 and 1848, laid out the basic principles that led to the system of free public schools in the United States. I am just one section away from finishing this project, and expect it to be available in the catalog by the end of August. The project thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=55626
Good to know!
I'll probably do the staff picks this weekend or early next week

I am cataloging the project right now. It is HUGE, so deriving is taking a bit longer than expected. But, almost done!

I am happy about all suggestions concerning WWI and its ending, historic events, treaties, stories from the war, fictional stories from the war - but this time with a slant towards people coming home and events in the aftermath of the war, please.
Especially welcome are suggestions of plays and poetry.
