Captain Arsenio
by Pablo BernasconiCaptain Arsenio was a curious man who liked, more than anything, to tinker and explore. One day in 1782, he decided that he would put his unusual skills to work in a most ambitious way: he would build a flying machine. Despite a hodgepodge of materials (and a total unawareness of the laws of physics), Captain Arsenio aimed to get his feet off the ground and his head in the clouds-temporarily, at least. But would any of his crazy inventions ever achieve flight? In this hilarious fictional account, Pablo Bernasconi imagines a legend in the making-a retired cheesemaker and scuba diver turned inventor who sets off to fly with the birds, in spite of himself.

by Berry FlemingCaptain Bennett's Folly is a direct descendant of Fleming's earlier comic novels, Colonel Effingham's Raid and Lucinderella. Like them, there is a narrator--in this case Walker Williams--who reports an adventure replete with rogues and innocents, while making an artful, funny and wistful case about the immorality of our times. Walker spins out a tale of how he and his hedonistic family journey to the Florida Keys during the hurricane season in order to prevent rich Uncle Nolan Bennett--"pushing eighty but not pushing very hard"--from marrying his young housekeeper and supplanting them as his legitimate heirs. The scheming relatives, however, have a tough adversary in the eccentric Uncle Nolan, and his struggles to escape from their manipulation are at the core of Fleming's yarn.
