Coraline by Neil Gaiman - Excerpt

An exploration of people's funny, poignant, sad, sometimes tragic attempts to make connections. 'All the words that I know' is a poem from Bob Stallworthy's book 'From a Call Box'.

Fifty brides flee their fifty grooms and seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy in this modern re-making of one of the western world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. And, in this villa on the Italian coast, the fifty grooms catch up with the brides, and mayhem ensues.

Amid the foggy streets of sinister London and the even more sinister countryside, Holmes and Watson solve the unsolvable. This book is a collection of twelve original Sherlock Holmes stories.
