The Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels

Beschreibung

On the day they are born, every Swift child is brought before the sacred Family Dictionary. They are given a name and a definition--a definition it is assumed they will grow up to match. Shenanigan is getting ready for the Swift family reunion and plotting her next great scheme: hunting for Grand-Uncle Vile's long lost treasure.

Autor

Beth Lincoln was raised in a former Victorian railway station in the North of England. Her childhood fears included porcelain dolls, the Durham panther, and wardrobes that looked at her funny. She grew neither tall nor wise, and never learned to play an instrument--but she did write stories, a bad habit that has persisted to this day. When she isn't writing, Beth is woodcarving, or making a mess of her flat, or talking the nearest ear off about unexplained occurrences. Her favorite things include ghosts, crisps, and weird old words like bumbershoot and zounderkite. The Swifts is Beth's debut novel. It grew out of her love of etymology, the gleeful gothic, and classic murder mysteries. She lives in Newcastle upon Tyne with her partner and hopefully, by the time you are reading this, a dog.
