Eleven cozy mystery stories in one volume featuring the sculptor-turned-sleuth brought to life by the award-winning author and illustrator. It’s murder at the flea market! Evildoers and crazed collectors beware. Daisy Summerfield, a crime-fighting sculptor with a severe case of artist’s block, is on the case. Will Daisy untangle the riddle of the missing Fiestaware, the cute bear, the flea market poisoner? And will she get her art back on track? In M. B. Goffstein’s homage to art and artists, and to light, cozy, lovable, dimwitted mysteries, you’ll delight in the intrigue of whodunits and in the endless romance of finding treasure in boxes marked “$1.” Set in the years between 1989 and 2000, and ranging from New York City to Westchester County, this series of stories includes: A Little Cracked, Death Goes Dutch, The Little Notebook, The Blue Glow, The Chantilly Box, The Cute Bear, The Covered Jar, The Best Art, The Big Show, An Evening Skirt, and Farewell, Mr. Flea. A special section bibliography lists the author’s favorite books on china. This is one of four volumes in the collected writing of M. B. Goffstein series: Words Alone: Twenty-Six Books Without Pictures, Art Girls Together: Two Novels, Daisy Summerfield’s Art: The Complete Flea Market Mysteries, and Biography of Miss Go Chi: Novelettos & Poems.

Focusing on the phenomenon of miniaturization in material culture, literature, and theories of cognition, this study examines the appeal and function of the small-scale during the period from 1650 to 1765. Drawing on three interconnected areas of scholarship, Melinda Alliker Rabb analyzes the human capacity to supplement direct experience of the world through representation, in order to gain knowledge of that world and to attempt control over it. Assessing two kinds of miniature - the real and the imagined - allows rethinking of works by Swift, Pope, Gay, Johnson, Sterne, and others, and shows how the fictional miniature can correspond meaningfully to the world of things. The phenomenon of scaling down objects as various as teapots, bureaus, globes, buckets, spoons, battlefields, and diving bells, has a relationship to large-scale events as various as financial revolution, globalization, scientific discovery, war and other events that challenge old modes of representation and demand new ones.
