The choice of books in Felix Vallotton’s 'The Bookcase,' (1915) play nicely into the picture's palette: the shelves are filled with the yellow spines of the Bibliothèque Charpentier collection, in a nod to the (then) supposed female preference for thrilling novels.

Shedunnit, and Trent’s Last Case

Why did I reread Trent's Last Case by EC Bentley? Because Shedunnit were doing an episode with spoiler zones, so I wanted to make the most of it. The mystique surrounding this 1913 book, and its lasting influence, are fascinating.... clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/2025/10/shed...

Eight colourful covers of Sir Basil Thomson's golden age murder mysteries. New editions available at Dean Street Press.
"The stranger-than-fiction life of Sir Basil Home Thomson (1861-1938) was packed so full of incident that one can understand why his work as a crime novelist has been rather overlooked." Sir Basil Thomson's Richarson Series by Martin Edwards

Agreed. ‘Cosy’ doesn’t mean bloodless. It’s more about tone: small-scale settings, amateur sleuths, and violence kept (mostly) offstage. Murder still very much allowed! What alliterative term would you use instead?

A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry
1. Impressionism
Roses sway in softened reds,
Violets swim in murky blues,
Sugar sparkles in the light,
Blurring into golden you.
2. Surrealism
Roses are melting,
Violets are too.
Ceci n’est pas le sucre.
Keith is a giant crab
3. Social Realism
Roses are dead,
Violence is rife.
Don’t sugar coat
This bitter life.
4. Abstract Expressionism
Are and.
Violets roses so.
You sweet blue.
Are are red is sugar
5. Pop Art
Roses go BLAM!
Violets go POW!
Sugar is COOL!
You are so WOW!
6. Conceptual Art
Roses are red,
Coated in blood:
A deer’s severed head
Drips from above
Here’s another poem for National Poetry Day. This one is called ‘A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry’.

'Street and Railway Bridge.' (1946)
John Minton’s paintings of London during and shortly after the Second World War often include displaced people and the bombed out shells of buildings. A pile of rubble fills the foreground of this picture of a deserted London street.
