"A masterwork of irony that contains both a dark and bitter meaning and

a joyous, extraordinary creativity of imagination. That's why it has lived for so long."

Malcom Bradbury

Gulliver's Travels tells of the fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, an Englishman

and ship's surgeon, who travels to the "several remote nations of the world." In the beginning,

he becomes shipwrecked in the land of Lilliput, where the distressed inhabitants are only six

inches tall. His second voyage takes him to Brobdingnag, where lives a race of giants. At

Glubdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers, he speaks with great men of the past and learns from

them the lies of history. Further adventures find Gulliver in a land ruled by intelligent horses.



For children, it is an enchanting fantasy; for adults, it is a satirical masterpiece, a parody of

political life in Swift's time, and a scathing send-up of manners and morals in

eighteenth-century England.

"When a woman's husband is killed, you're susposed to do something about it."

Phil (short for Philomena) Byrnes and her husband ran their Gloucester MA detective agency until he was killed at his desk. It's not a case of her stepping into his spot to keep the family business running  -- she was a working detective long before his death -- and she makes for a refreshingly prickly widow.

Now Phil runs the agency with the help of her assistant Buzzy, with occasional forays to Papa's Bar, for a little liquid refreshment now and then, and some occasional paternal advice from Papa. She's also helped out in her investigation by Detective Jim Colman, a member of Gloucester's finest, who has a soft spot for Phil, though she seems largely unaware of it. Evidently she's still trying to come to terms with her husband's murder.

WAITING FOR  REDEMPTION - Part 2: The final episode - as Phil solves her husbands murder.
