Line 6:
The time of [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll|bootleg, flappers, and jazz]]. And where coffee costs a dime.
The setting of many an [[Genteel Interbellum Setting|Agatha Christie]] mystery, this is one era that absolutely lives up to the stereotypes and then some. The [[World War
Style is almost exclusively [[Art Deco]] ''moderne'', all minimalist lines and coolly fluid shapes. (Side point- Art Deco's fascination with streamlining household objects whose actual wind resistance is irrelevant proved popular because levelling incomes led for the first time to a group of people who could afford good design but not household servants. It seems that a streamlined Art Deco lamp is easier to ''dust'' than a frilly Victorian one...)
Line 146:
* Several ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' stories (1917-1966) by [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]], and a decent number of his many other ones, too.
* ''[[The Sheik]]''. First published in 1919, becoming a great hit in this period.
* [[Agatha Christie
** ''[[Hercule Poirot]]''. The novel series started in 1920.
* ''[[Bulldog Drummond]]''. The novel series started in 1920.
Line 201:
* Ditto with the sequel, [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon]].
* ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: From The New World'' is set in the mid-twenties, and one plot thread involves the Chicago mob war.
* ''[[Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble!]]''.
* The [[Penny Arcade Adventures]] series
