I devoured these Enid Blyton books when I was a kid, and while I can't say I remember much about them -- or even whether I read this particular one -- I do remember that I loved them. I guess they're eclipsed by Harry Potter these days, but if you have or are a kid in the right age group who loves kids' adventure stories, you may want to give these a try.

I read the book in my daughters home some time ago and just had to have a copy of my own. Unfortunately I had to purchase it at an inflated price as the book is out of print.

Ms. Lieber's story is such an inspiring one of a woman who is typical of what the American Dream is all about. She had a skill and took that skill to rise to the top. She is imaginative, creative, skillful and an unyielding artist. Her bags are now being copied by people but the fine artistery and quality are difficult to copy. She uses superior materials or use to. She is now retired and sold the business. The quality still prevails.

One of the best stories in the book is the one about the woman who called her friends to join her at her home for a dinner party. The hostess asked each woman to bring her Judith Lieber jeweled bag. The woman placed the bags down the middle of the table, surrounded them by votive candles and that was her center piece.

A clever idea with outstanding, glittery and beautiful handbags. I never thought I'd be able to own a Judith Lieber bag, but one of my daughter's can afford them and lavishly spoils her mother. My dream is to save enough money to purchase one on my own. They are absolutely beautiful bags and it is a terrific book.

My kids love this book. It is a simple one to ten counting book and they can count lots of things along the way. My two year old can count to ten as a result. Besides I love Noddy and his oh so cool car. If I become a millionaire I think I will customise one just like it.

In unskilled literary hands, a stolen Tibetan manuscript would be no more than a macguffin, the monk who seeks to recover it a stereotyped Oriental and the exotic background of lamaistic Buddhism a mere swatch of distracting "color". What makes this "fair play" detective novel exceptional - well worth reading six decades after its original publication - is its use of all of these elements as integral parts of an expertly constructed story.

Clason's detective, Prof. Theocritus Lucius Westborough, is perfectly matched to this case. A fussy, unworldly scholar - when we first meet him, he is correcting proofs of his new monograph and puzzling over the publisher's decision to title it "Heliogabalus: Rome's Most Degenerate Emperor" - he is believably capable of tackling the mystical teachings of an Eighth Century sage and discerning their role in a Twentieth Century murder. In a more mundane setting, he might be a bit of a caricature; here, he shines.

The central plot is strong enough to withstand weaknesses of a kind not unexpected in a genre novel of its era. Westborough's police detective friend is more than a bit of a caricature. An insipid romantic subplot serves no apparent purpose except to give the one young female among the dramatis personae something to do. The mechanism by which the foul deed is carried out makes Rube Goldberg look like a master of simplicity. And the ending comes abruptly as soon as the murderer is unmasked, leaving the reader to wonder (it is a tribute to the book's qualities that the reader does wonder) what afterwards befell the lama Tsongpun Bonbo and the alluring but dangerous writings of Padma Sambhava.

Clason wrote half a dozen other detective novels before abandoning the field to concentrate primarily on nonfiction. According to the publisher's afterword, he has continued to hold a high reputation among a very small segment of mystery readership. On the evidence of "The Man from Tibet", that segment deserves speedy enlargement.

The Five Find-Outers and Buster the dog are at it again. It is time for the Christmas holidays and something very strange is going on in an empty house on Chestnut Lane. With Fatty leading the charge, the five set out to find what goes on at night in the secret room in Milton House. Mr. Goon, the village policeman is, as usual, at odds with the five sleuths (and Buster).

Adventure, excitement and innocent mischief. Enid Blyton has set the standard for childrens literature for decades. Originally published in 1945, this book along with her other works continue to be read across the world by children. Did I say children? Why, only last week I dug up my old copy of 'Secret Room' and read it with the same eagerness with which I first read it 20 years ago...

Highly recommended for children between 1 and 99 years old.

This is one of the best journals and books around for dealing with the loss of your furry friend. It takes the reader from the beginnings of having a pet and writing down why you made the decisions you made, to the winding down of your furry friend's life. There are areas for photos and and plenty of room to write down memories both pleasant and unpleasant. It also goes through the feelings of grief and the transitions a person makes through the grief. I have given this journal to many friends and all of them have loved it tremendously.

I'm be using the NTC's Preparation Kit for the TOEFL for about four weeks, the book and tapes are excellent with a lot of useful exercises. The kit's enclosure really protects the book and casettes from being damaged or get lost. I'm completing my TOEFL's preparation with the NTC's Practice Kit for the TOEFL and the Barron's Vocabulary and Correct English pocket guides and the Barron's English Verbs pocket guide. Go ahead and try this kit, you'll make a very good selection. I'm giving a 5 stars rating to this kit.

This is a wonderful book. It should be required reading for anyone who's parents have reached the age where many important and difficult decisions must be made about life style, health care, finances, etc. Read it before you have a crisis situation. May it stay in print forever!
