Frosty books

  

The post below set me thinking about books with 'frost' in the title, and the first one to come to mind was Antonia White's Frost in May (surely that can't be out of print?). A quick search then produced The Frost Fair by Edward Marston, which I hadn't heard of before but looks very good - a "circuitously-plotted" seventeenth century crime novel. And then I found a children's book which is due out soon and which has that very line from Coleridge as its title: The Secret Ministry of Frost by Nick Lake.

Dear C: Have just read Breathing Lessons and don't want to jump the gun on discussion, but--my, what a sad book! I tried to read it before and couldn't get through it (last year) and this time I had to chunk it up so I didn't get overwhelmed. Now I need to read something raucous. . . Terry Pratchett's Wee Free Men, maybe?

Enjoy your lovely frost!

Since I have works in translation on the brain lately, how about Frost by Thomas Bernhard?

How about 'Frost at Morning' by Richmal Crompton?

I don't suppose the Jack Frost detective novels count in this respect!

Not in the title, but my first thought was of the terrifying Jack Frost in The Graveyard Book.
