Frayn is that rare writer who succeeds as both a novelist and a dramatist.” - Randy Cohen, The New York Times Book Review Supremely wise and wickedly funny, Headlong elevates Frayn into the front rank of contemporary novelists. With this new novel, Michael Frayn has given us entertainment of the highest order. And at the heart of the clamor is Breugel's vision, its dark tones warning of the real risks of temptation and obsession. All are burdened by human muddle and human cravings all are searching for a moral compass as they grapple with greed, folly, and desire. In Headlong, Michael Frayn, "the master of what is seriously funny" (Anthony Burgess), offers a procession of superbly realized characters, from the country squire gone to seed to his giddy, oversexed young wife. So begins a hilarious trail of lies and concealments, desperate schemes and soaring hopes as Martin, betting all that he owns and much that he doesn't, embarks on a quest to prove his hunch, win his wife over, and separate the painting from its owner. But hiding beneath the soot is nothing less-Martin believes-than a lost work by Bruegel. Invited to dinner by the boorish local landowner, Martin Clay, an easily distracted philosopher, and his art-historian wife are asked to assess three dusty paintings blocking the draught from the chimney. An unlikely con man wagers wife, wealth, and sanity in pursuit of an elusive Old Master. Caroline Leaf offered a prescription for better health and wholeness through correct thinking patterns.

About the Book In this devotional based on her bestselling book, Dr. She could see a huge Cat of some sort-a Lion, was it?-and a shiny woodman. Wind moved the dangling tendrils of the tree. Crablike and quiet, she scuttled down a little at a time, until she was a mere twenty feet above them. The Witch tucked her broom under her arm. Beneath, hidden by the fronds, her prey had paused to take their rest. She finished up on the topmost bough of a black willow tree. She used the broom as a sort of balustrade, stepping down from the sky like one of her flying monkeys. But it was not up to the Witch to enlighten them. The Witch could see the companions trudging along, maneuvering around the buckled sections, skirting trenches, skipping when the way was clear. Though winter storms and the crowbars of agitators had torn up the road, still it led, relentlessly, to the Emerald City. Below, the Yellow Brick Road looped back on itself, like a relaxed noose. White and purple summer thunderheads mounded around her. A mile above Oz, the Witch balanced on the wind’s forward edge, as if she were a green fleck of the land itself, flung up and sent wheeling away by the turbulent air.
