Spring Fever
Dick Francis - 1993
In "The Rape of Kingdom Hill", poorly managed and vulnerable, Kingdom Hill racecourse has all the cast that conman Tricksy Wilcox needs so badly--and he has a perfect plan. But Tricksy isn't the only one with problems. In "Spring Fever", Mrs. Angela Hart looks back and realizes the moment she fell in love with her jockey. It was just before the treachery, the accident and the very lucky break. And in "Carrot for a Chestnut", a foolish young man is the wrong choice for sabotage--but Harvey Buskins bribes him like so many others before. Then everyone must watch the horror that follows.

Tea Party Fairy Tales
James Finn Garner - 2012
His plan may have worked all too well. Now, to save us from creeping socialism, death panels and everything progressive, he has written the antidote, Tea Party Fairy Tales. In Tea Party Fairy Tales, Red Riding Hood stands up for her Second Amendment rights, the Little Match Girl defends the magic of the free market to her grave, and Jack of “Beanstalk” fame shows the moral decay of a life on the dole. For those who find these too long-winded, more than a dozen Aesop’s Fables have been reworked to illustrate the eternal truths of American conservatism in handy, shouting-points form. Tea Party Fairy Tales deserves a place on every young American’s nightstand, right next to the Rush Limbaugh plush doll and a Smith & Wesson automatic, to help prevent the destruction of everything good and true in American culture. “Wake up, Storybookland! Before it’s too late!”
