here is the selection of books of the month. They are on display in the foyer of BDX-USA.
The Deptford Trilogy by R. Davies
Around a mysterious death is woven glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived trilogy of novels. Luring the reader down labyrinthine tunnels of myth, history and magic, the novel provides an exhilarating antidote to a world from where "the fear and dread and splendor of Wonder have been banished".
In this book, you will meet a lurking manticore (persian lion-like monsters with a scorpio tail and a man's face), wizzard Merlin laughing and you may rest on a "Lit de Justice".
