A Case of Mice and Murder
Smith’s novel is a quiet triumph. Each small unfolding supports the next, characters blossom off the page, and the pitch-perfect pacing is as pleasurable as the descriptive detail.

Fairy Houses: How To Create Whimsical Homes for Fairy Folk
While charming and sweet, the fairy houses here are not hardy enough to hold up to inclement weather and temperature. Nevertheless, this recommended title is fun and unique.
PREMIUM
Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life
Intimate but not gossipy, this highly accessible and thoroughly researched volume would do well in all collections.
PREMIUM
Elizabeth the Queen
Rosalyn Landor's tone matches the subject matter, creating a very fine listening experience. Recommended for all fans of the English monarchy and those interested in Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 8/15/11.—Ed.]

Elizabeth the Queen
The results are as informative as they are entertaining. Comparable to Ben Pimlott's excellent The Queen: A Biography of Elizabeth II (1998), but with information on nearly 15 more years, this will appeal to readers of biographies, British history, and all followers of the British royal family. The Queen's 2012 Diamond Jubilee should increase demand. With impressive source notes and bibliography. [See Prepub Alert, 7/18/11.]—Elizabeth Mellett, Brookline P.L., MA
