De 101 dalmatinerna

De 101 dalmatinerna
Två dalmatiner och så kanske några valpar, det var vad herr och fru Dearly hade tänkt sig från början. Missis och Pongo är ett stiligt hundpar, och valparna är bedårande när de anländer, trots att de är hela femton stycken! Och så är det ju Perdita förstås, den övergivna dalmatinertiken som fru Dearly tagit hand om. Så nu är det allt som allt arton hundar hemma hos Dearlys. Det är då den ondskefulla Cruella de Vil knackar på. Hon som alltid bär päls, sover i hermelinlakan och vars make är pälshandlare. I samma stund som hon får syn på de vackra hundarna så får hon sin fruktansvärda idé att man kan tillverka unika pälsverk av dalmatinernas skinn! När Cruella helt fräckt stjäl alla femton valpar ger sig Pongo och Missis ut på en farlig jakt efter sina små ungar. Det är en kamp mot klockan. Runtom i hela England har det försvunnit dalmatinervalpar och panikslagna mattar och hussar letar desperat, precis som Dearlys. Det gör i sin tur Cruella desperat om det ska bli några pälsar, måste valparna dödas innan någon hittar dem! Boken utkom första gången 1956 i England, och har sedan dess tryckts i många upplagor.Historien har också blivit både animerad film och spelfilm. B. Wahlströms moderna klassiker är både älskade böcker som kanske fallit i glömska och böcker som aldrig riktigt lämnat läsarnas medvetande. De riktar sig till både de äldre och yngre bokslukarna, till de som läser på egen hand och de som läser tillsammans med en vuxen.

Nur der Sommer zwischen uns
"Während ich das hier schreibe, sitze ich im Spülbecken", lautet ein Eintrag in Cassandra Mortmains Tagebuch. Die 17-Jährige lebt mit Vater, Stiefmutter, Schwester und Bruder in einem heruntergekommenen Schloss auf dem Land und langweilt sich. Zum Zeitvertreib übt sie sich im Schreiben, und das am liebsten über ihre unkonventionelle verarmte Künstlerfamilie: den Schriftsteller-Vater, dessen erster Roman sich grandios verkauft hat, der aber seither unter einer Schreibblockade leidet und sich in Kriminalromane vergräbt, die einst glamouröse Model-Stiefmutter, die mit Vorliebe nackt durch die Landschaft spaziert, die schöne, aber meist missmutige Schwester Rose und den kleinen, aber schlauen Bruder Thomas. Dann stirbt überraschend der Schlossbesitzer, und als die Erben, zwei amerikanische Gentlemen, auftauchen, nimmt das Leben der Familie eine unerwartete Wendung.
