Book Description
THE STREETS OF PARIS “The Streets of Paris”, a novelette, follows the lively adventures of Francöis Villon, France’s most famous poet, in the mid-fifteenth-century court of King Charles. Will he stay true to his principles or become a spoiled courtier? SHORT STORIES Included are fourteen additional short stories combining a mixture of adventure, romance, intrigue, humor, and a candid look at everyday life. A sampling of a few follow: If an intimate affair with one’s secretary begins to get a little stale—and expensive—follow the tactics in the “End of the Affair”. An even more expensive divorce could be in the works. . . . In “A Bachelor Gets Married”, find out what really happens behind closed doors when a tough, confirmed bachelor marries a shy and tender beauty. . . . “True Experiences of a Prohibition Agent” include a touch of humor and a bloody nose. . . . Becoming an entrepreneur by reading “My Successful Career as a Handwriting Expert” could lead to easy riches or maybe not. . . . Disputes with one’s spouse or in-laws constitute a big problem in many marriages, but the overwhelming nemesis is called the budget as illustrated in “Budget—The Nemesis of Every Marriage”.. . . In “A Cavalier’s Tale”, the hero decides that he wants no part of a happily-ever-after marriage with the king’s niece after rescuing her in a vicious sword fight. . . . “The Perfect Crime” and “The Mystery Woman of Endale” each have the ingredients of a murder mystery but lack a murderer. . . . “America—1932 Style” reminds us of the devastating effects of the Great Depression.
