There's much excitement when Mr Sergeant welcomes his new lodger, philosopher and scientist, Rene Descartes.

Helena on the other hand, is totally enthralled by their guest: an enthrallment that will totally change her life.

|summary=When Mr and Mrs Rundle see an advert in the paper for a wardrobe for sale, complete with ghost, Mrs Rundle decides that they absolutely ''must'' have it! They own The Dog and Duck Inn and Mrs Rundle feels that addition of a ghost will add interest to their Inn and bring them custom. The arrival of the wardrobe certainly shakes things up for the Rundles, though perhaps not in the way they'd imagined!

|author=Mary Hoffman and Christina Balit
|title=Queen Guinevere and Other Stories from the Court of King Arthur
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=I always enjoy a story with a feisty heroine, so the prospect of a whole collection of stories telling me about the women behind the men in the Arthurian legends definitely had an appeal to me! Taking Malory's ''Le Morte D'Arthur'' for inspiration, as well as other historical texts depicting the legends, Hoffman tells us her imagining of what it was like to be married to Arthur, the other women connected to Lancelot and Sir Gawain, and ultimately why the fellowship of the round table really fell apart.
