Miss Marple, Agatha Christie s deceptively mild spinster sleuth, is being treated to a few days holiday by her niece, staying at Bertram s Hotel, a dignified, unostentatious establishment tucked away in a back street of busy Mayfair. Here is a place where sedate upper class ladies, retired military gentlemen & the higher echelons of the clergy can indulge in the comforts of a bygone age. But Miss Marple begins to feel uneasy. Something sinister lurks beneath the polished veneer. Why are so many major crimes associated in some way with the hotel or somehow implicate eminently respectable people staying there? June Whitfield stars as Miss Marple in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of a classic brain-teaser from the Queen of Crime. Audio BOOKS, 2 CD, 140 minutes. ...

Recently, Elizabeth Gilbert unpacked some boxes of family books that had been sitting in her mother's attic for decades. Among the old, dusty hardbacks was a book called At Home on the Range, written by her great-grandmother, Margaret Yardley Potter. As Gilbert writes in her Foreword: 'I jumped up & dashed through the house to find my husb&, so I could read parts of it to him: Listen to this! The humor! The insight! The sophistication! Then I followed him around the kitchen while he was making our dinner (lamb shanks), & I continued reading aloud as we ate... By the end of the night there were three of us sitting at that table. Gima had come to join us, & she was wonderful, & I was in love.' The cookbook was far ahead of its time. In it, Potter espouses the importance of farmer's markets & ethnic food (Italian, Jewish & German), derides preservatives & culinary shortcuts & generally celebrates a devotion to epicurean adventures. Potter takes car trips out to Pennsylvania Dutch country to eat pickled pork products, & to the eastern shore of Maryl&, where she learns to catch & prepare eels so delicious, she says, they must be 'devoured in a silence almost devout'. Part scholar & part crusader for a more open food conversation than currently existed, it's not hard to see where Elizabeth Gilbert inherited both her love of food & her warm, infectious prose. At Home on the Range is a fascinating, humorous & useful cookbook from the past that is essential for the present day. ...
