I love the "-ology" books of Candlewick Press. They bring up big boy in me.
It is so wonderful to play with these books - and learn while playing. In this "-ology" book everything is about espionage. The world of secrets and agents.

On July 21st 2009, last Friday of the month of July of the year 2099, the following text was published on the home page of the now legendary site of Ted,
inventor and creator of the first ever Sysadmin Day in 2000. Ted is an icon of the world's gratitude for everything that what they do for us - our sysadmins.
Unlike 100, 90 or 80 years ago - see also the quote from the historical website http://www.sysadminday.com/ (link opens in a new window, you are leaving Zauberspiegel-online) further down - we honor the sysadmin who protect us every day from the rigo(u)rs of the injustice of the modern world data store.
In memory of the development of the past hundred years.

Hmmm ... the Victorian era, spies, a "strong" woman ... what a lure. I couldn't resist and had the chance to read the first book of the trilogy "The Agency" by Ying S. Lee in English.
I wanted to know more about the person Y.S. Lee (this is the author`s name the book is published with) and contacted her.
Ying was born in Singapore and raised in Vancouver and Toronto. Today she lives in Kingston, Ontario, together with her husband and one son. In 2004, she completed her PhD in Victorian literature and culture. This research, combined with her time living in London, triggered an idea for a story about a women's detective agency.
