“… Cruelty and dishonesty - those are two things that I just can’t stand…”

“Sometimes a person has to - has to choose between them. I mean, sometimes if you don’t want to be cruel, you have to tell, or act, some lies.”

(Christianna Brand, 1944, Green For Danger)

"The world had gone mad about them..." @BL_Publishing #BLCC

It’s a little while since I featured a British Library Crime Classic on the Ramblings (though it’s not as if there aren’t any sitting on the TBR, screaming for attention…) However, after some recent, somewhat heavier reads, I felt in need of contrast – GA crime is always a palate cleanser for me – and a recent title sounded particularly appealing. Christianna Brand has had something of a revivial…

Suddenly At His Residence

Impossible murders with a twist #ChristiannaBrand @BL_Publishing #CrimeFiction #BookReview

A review of Suddenly at his Residence by Christianna Brand – 230702 It was once said that if you borrowed a crime fiction novel from a public library, always check that the last page is intact or else you run the risk of missing out whodunit. In truth, very few, if any, of the novels from the Golden Age of detective fiction have left it to the last page but in this novel by Christianna Brand,…

Once upon a time there was a huge family of children; and they were terribly, terribly naughty.

[fiction-quotes]

“This afternoon,” said Nurse Matilda when lunch was over, “we shall go for a walk – and do arithmetic.”

“Oh, lor'!” said the children, losing heart. (Fancy a walk! And arithmetic!)

But Nurse Matilda's arithmetic was very different from the governesses' arithmetic. Nurse Matilda made them pretend that they had only so many arms and legs between them, not enough to go round. Some of them had to hop and some of them, who had no legs at all, had to be carried (fortunately these were mostly the smaller ones), and the armless ones had to walk along looking very stiff and stout with their coats buttoned right over their real arms, which were pinned down to their bodies by the buttoned-up coats, and their sleeves hanging empty. So then they began to re-divide the arms and legs, to try and even things out; and in this way the Little Ones learnt adding and taking away – “take away one leg from Justin, who has two, and give it to poor Dominic, who has none. Arabella and Joanna and Susannah have four arms between them; give them one each, and that'll be three and one over...” And the Bigger Ones learnt money sums by making prices for an arm or a leg; and those who had too few; bargained with those who had enough – or, as soon happened if you were good at bargaining, too many.

Tora, who was terribly bad at arithmetic, ended up just a sort of pillow, poor thing, with – officially – no arms and legs at all; while Antony, who was always very good at money – perhaps because when he was little he had swallowed a penny and became rather a hero with his brothers and sisters – had four arms and three legs and somehow managed to be one and tuppence richer as well. However, he was a very kind boy and he went back and sold Tora a leg for her last tuppence, so at least she was able to hop; and he held her up, because of course, having no arms, she couldn't hang on to him. Otherwise, as she was one of the Big Ones – too big to be carried – she'd have had to stay planted by the wayside, till they picked her up on the way back and lent her a leg, just to get home with.

It is, in my opinion, the greatest effort by one of the greatest practitioners of the Golden Age mystery, who should be better known than she is. Book-for-book, Brand would make Agatha Christie sweat if the two decided to compete.
