  • ""It was a hazy, drowsy afternoon. The woodland around Sparrowswick basked in the summer sunshine and the air was filled with the chirp of insects and small animals that lived in the tangle of heather and wild snapdragons. A little boy named Abie, stalking imaginary prey on the heath, heard three shots and decided to go home. He knew that Captain Wiles was out hunting and that the Captain's marksmanship was dubious. Before he had gone very far, Abie found a corpse--a very dead gentleman with a fine, fair moustache, who stared unwinkingly at the chalk-blue sky. Harry, the corpse, evoked various responses in the residents of Sparrowswick. To Captain Wiles, he was a bothersome responsibility; to Jennifer, Harry's beautiful young widow, he was a nuisance best forgotten; to Sam Marlow, the painter, he was the inspiration for a masterpiece, full of significance and delicate shadings. To a casual tramp, he was a provider of shoes; to the spinsterish Miss Gravely, he was an outrage; to Dr. Greenbow, who cared only for butterflies, he was a stumbling block. To the reader, Harry will provide a most entertaining mystery."--Page 4 of cover."@en
  • "On the outskirts of a small English town, young Arnie discovers the body of a middle-aged man in the woods. Three people are convinced they are responsible for the death: the captain thinks he accidentally shot the man while hunting rabbits; the local spinster thinks she may have done more damage than she intended when she hit him with her shoe--and Arnie's mother, most damningly of all, reveals that it might have been her too. The police are called in to investigate the crime, but free-thinking artist Sam Marlowe becomes a good-natured sleuth, helping the townspeople to bury, dig up, and rebury the corpse in an effort to evade the authorities and discover the truth about Harry."@en
  • "When a retired sea captain, out doing a little rabbit hunting, discovers Harry's lifeless body in the hilltops of small-town Vermont, he wrongly believes he is responsible for Harry's untimely death. So he decides to bury the corpse to cover his tracks. But Harry just won't stay in the ground. Soon the dead man--through no fault of his own--has set off a series of comic misunderstandings."
