Someone has stolen it, and it’s up to Nancy and her team to find out who. If you enjoy travelogues, this book includes descriptions of some of the writer's favorite sights in Holland. Here is a great reader review for this book on Goodreads and in The Sleuth: The Original Nancy Drew Fanzine: "The Stolen Masterpiece is book #5 of the Nancy Keene mystery series, a parody of Nancy Drew. It was by far my favorite story and most like Nancy Drew. Nancy has delved into ancestry.com, after finding letters written by her great grandfather to family in Amsterdam and has discovered family living there: Dominique and his family- parents Hans and Veronique and sister Nortje. This is her mother’s family. When Mr. Keene has to travel to Amsterdam on business Nancy, Beth, and Hannah, who are on spring break, accompany him. We are treated to some history and descriptions of scenery. Nancy also knows quite a bit about famous paintings, especially by Vermeer and Van Gogh. At the art museum they meet Sophie, the curator, who seems interested in Mr. Keene. Nancy promotes the attraction between the two until they become mutually interested and then seems jealous. Dominique, a cute guy her age, shows Nancy into a secret room they recently found that is full of old paintings. They have deduced that the Jewish people who lived in their house in the World War II era hid them away before being taken off to a concentration camp. His family has tried to trace the family but they were all killed in the war. Nancy is sure that one of them is an unsigned Vermeer. Before they can do anything about it, the house is broken into and the painting stolen! Who knew about the secret room? The carpenters who fixed it when a wall was ruined with water? One guy at school who Dominique told? The kids set up a “sting” to trap the thief but before they execute it Nancy figures out who the thief is and recovers the painting. The Vermeer is donated to an art museum; the other paintings that are also worth much money will be sold and Hans and his family will make many euros. At the book’s end Nancy and her chums appear on a TV show to promote genealogy."

Book Synopsis Nags, Sluts, and a Deep-Breasted Soulmate from the Shining City: Thomas Wolfe's Women in The Web and the Rock by : Louise Hathaway
Download or read book Nags, Sluts, and a Deep-Breasted Soulmate from the Shining City: Thomas Wolfe's Women in The Web and the Rock written by Louise Hathaway and published by Louise Hathaway. This book was released on with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this critical essay after I obtained my Master’s Degree in English and went to a Thomas Wolfe festival in 1991. While I was there, I had the good fortune to run into his nephew, who was the only living relative who actually knew him. I’ve always been a sucker for a good love story and was pleased to discover the best one in American Literature, in my humble opinion, in Wolfe’s long novel, The Web and The Rock. In that thinly-veiled self-portrait, Wolfe loves and captures the spirit of Aline Bernstein. In his extravagant rhetoric, he immortalizes her in his fictional character, Esther Jack. Written in the 1930s, it shows remarkable respect for an independent woman, and in this respect, Wolfe was ahead of his time. The fact that Aline won a Tony award for Best Costume Design, makes the story of her relationship with Wolfe even more fascinating. This eBook also includes photographs.
