Puzzle in a pear tree / by Hall, Parnell.(CARDINAL)343941;
When someone steals the partridge from the pear tree and replaces it with a cryptic puzzle she has no hope of solving, its almost more than the Puzzle Lady can bear. But then smug crossword creator Harvey Beerbaum solves the acrostic, and it turns out to be a poem promising the death of an actress. This is more like it! Could the threat be aimed at Cora and her thespian debut? Or at Sherry, one of the ladies-dancing? Or at Sherrys nemesis, the pageants predatory lead, Becky Baldwin?

Featuring formal poems, some familiar and some never before published, from the likes of Eleanor Farjeon (aubade), X.J. Kennedy (elegy), Ogden Nash (couplet), Liz Rosenberg (pantoum), and William Shakespeare, the sonnet king himself, A Kick in the Head perfectly illustrates Robert Frost's maxim that poetry without rules is like a tennis match without a net. --NPAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated ReaderReading Counts!
