Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut
Presenting Princess Prunella. Proud, prissy, and pretty, and unhappily very spoiled, she lives in a pink palace with her pinheaded parents, her three plump pussycats, and her prize puppy dog, Pug. Her passion? Her very own person. Her aspiration? To marry a pinheaded prince with piles of pin money, who will praise and pamper her. From Margaret Atwood--the novelist, poet, short story writer and author of such contemporary bestsellers as The Handmaid's Tale and The Robber Bride--comes a modern fairy tale with a classic message. Illustrated with elegant humor by Maryann Kovalski, Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut revels in the smart-alecky humor of its impertinent heroine and an alliteration of p's that gives the story a tongue-twisting energy with surprises at every turn. Children, and adults who love reading to children, will love reading princess prunella in the same way that they love reading Dr. Suess for the sheer fun of the language. But there's something more, too, as a born storyteller creates, with the mere choice of a word, an indelibly lively portrait of a spoiled little girl who is about to get her much-deserved comeuppance. Selection of Book-of-the-Month Club. 53,000 copies in print..

Mapp and Lucia (Isis)
Mrs. Emmeline Lucas is the recently-widowed newcomer to the village of Tilling, eager to wrest the reins of social supremacy from the incumbent Miss Elizabeth Mapp and to install herself as its benevolent dictator. In their polite acts of sabotage, as they ruthlessly jockey for the position of cultural arbiter, Mapp and Lucia tear up the conventions of drawing-room diplomacy and enter a protracted conflict using fêtes, garden parties, musical soirées, and bridge evenings as their deadly weapons. Things finally come to a head with Miss Mapp's audacious attempt to steal her rival's celebrated recipe for Lobster à la Riseholme. With a charming satirical bent, E.F. Benson turns the pretensions and snobberies of English village life into a deliciously wicked comedy. .

Emma (Worth Series in Outstanding Contributions)
Considered Jane Austen's best work, Emma reveals the author's love of laughter and gossip in her wry observations concerning matters of the heart. When Emma sets about matchmaking among her friends and acquaintances, she discovers her own inadequacies in the art. Fortunately, she learns her lesson in time to seize her own chance for true love. Delightfully funny, Emma displays the shrewd wit and delicate irony that made Austen a master of the English novel. Emma's popularity has enjoyed a recent resurgence: a major film in 1996 starring Gwyneth Paltrow; Clueless, the 1995 blockbuster starring Alicia Silverstone (a modern-day interpretation of Emma); and the recent television adaptation by the A&E Channel. Prunella Scales, best known for her role as Sybil in Fawlty Towers, brings Emma vividly alive in this outstanding reading, skillfully demonstrating Austen's mastery of dialogue and character. A Cover to Cover Unabridged Classic. 10 cassettes..
