Find the Woman is a suspenseful mystery set in the dark corners of New York City. John Fenton embarks on a desperate quest to uncover the truth about Belle Charmion, navigating crime, beauty, and deception. A gripping noir-style thriller.

The Goops are back with their sloppy manners, rudeness, and general all-around naughtiness, setting an example of how not to behave, much to the endless delight of children of all ages. First published in 1903, this second of the well-known Goop books contains many of the funniest and most original of Burgess' famous rhymes. With dozens of verses on everything from loyalty to the etiquette of eating soup, there is something here for everyone to enjoy.

Melisande tells the story of a beautiful princess, "Goops" is a poem that descibes exactly how children should not behave, and Prince Prigio relates the tale of a misunderstood member of a royal family.

A man dwells on the merits of seeing a purple cow versus being one.
