Title: An incredible buy
Review: This book contains 3 delightful novels (of only 8 written) by Tey. All 3 are wonderful period pieces illustrating English life with terrific characterizations, dialog, psychological discussions, & moral dilemmas. The mystery tends to take a back seat to the basic novel, however. Tey also provides some pithy comments: From Miss Pym Disposes: p. 122: As a psychologist she began to suspect she was a very good teacher of French.From The Franchise Affair: p. 213: The Governor; to whom a tear in the eye was just a drop of H2O.p. 295: If you see a giraffe once a year it remains a spectacle; if you see it daily it becomes part of the scenery.p. 298: The less he knows about a thing the more strongly he feels about it.From Brat Farrar: p. 414: If you thought about the unthinkable long enough it became quite reasonable.While each novel is probably a 4.5 star (or close), IMHO the collection rates higher. Enjoy this fantastic collection!
