Angeline is brilliant! She knows way more than a child of her age ought to. When she is put up a class at school she finds that her intelligence doesn`t equip her entirely for dealing with the pressures of being with the older group. Soon she is finding refuge with a teacher and her tropical fish and another unlikely student. With Louis Sachar`s hallmark twist-and-turns of plot and lovely humour, this delightful novel is thought-provoking and brilliant.

Try a refreshing "Dip in the Pool" and savour the delights of "Skin", follow "Galloping Foxley" and sample a little "Poison". This collection, one of Roald Dahl`s earliest, is guaranteed to appeal to "Someone Like You". In the opening story, "Taste", the stakes of a dinner-party bet reach distasteful heights, and a wife serves up a new dish in "Lamb to the Slaughter" which goes down well with the boys in blue. Layers of deceit are stripped away in "Nunc Dimittis", but what is revealed is far from honest. Meanwhile the "Man from the South" questions whether you really do need the little finger on your left Vendettas and desperate quests, bitter memories and sordid fantasies thwarted - here are fifteen reasons why Roald Dahl is the master...

Something of Myself, Rudyard Kipling’s memoir of his writing life, was composed in the year before he died and published posthumously. Its spare, polished phrases and masterly anecdotes offer a unique insight into the mind of this divided man who upheld the Victorian imperialist values of duty, patriotism and obedience, and yet sympathized with outlaws and children. Kipling describes with unforgettable vividness his bitter childhood years in the ‘House of Desolation’, his apprenticeship to the craft of writing through the hard grind of journalism in British India, his beloved parents and his pride in his own work. Reissued with a new introduction by Jan Montefiore, author of the brilliant recent study ‘Rudyard Kipling’, this...

Like "What Dreams May Come", which inspired the movie starring Robin Williams, "Somewhere in Time" is the powerful story of a love that transcends time and space, written by one of the Grand Masters of modern fantasy. Matheson`s classic novel tells the moving, romantic story of a modern man whose love for a woman he has never met draws him back in time to a luxury hotel in San Diego in 1896, where he finds his soul mate in the form of a celebrated actress of the previous century. "Somewhere in Time" won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and the 1979 movie version, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, remains a cult classic.
