Lila Dryden is found standing over the dead body of her irritating fiance, the murder weapon at her feet. It seems an open and shut case but where is the motive? When Herbert's will disappears, the mystery deepens. Miss Silver is called in to investigate.
Elijah Kain and his friends must learn how to use new Super Powers in order to defeat an immortal family who want to save the world by burning it to the ground. Along the way they learn about the Clans, species of supernatural creatures (wizards, mermaids, trolls, harpies, faeries, vampires, werewolves) that will help bring peace, or destruction.
A systematic catalogue; after an introduction and brief summary of research the author lists the material, arranging it typologically. He follows this with a wide-ranging discussion of problems concerning material and technique, decoration, function, foreign affinities, distribution and chronology. Very good illustrations.
This catalogue features daggers in numerous examples dating from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century and provides a history of not only the daggers in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, but also the broader history of daggers in general. The illuminating text traces the dagger's development and mode of use throughout the time period while also differentiating it from concurrent development of swords. Included in the text are helpful line illustrations that better show the form and decoration of the daggers, accompanied by a plate section, which allows for easy comparison of the works.
