Whether he`s teaching his pet pig to dance, being chased by a mad cow or wrestling a robber, Emil`s adventures never stop. Hens, dogs, little sisters - and adults - all flee his path. But Emil doesn`t mean to be bad, it`s just that trouble - and fun - follow him wherever he goes. A collection of utterly engaging tales from one of the world`s best-loved children`s authors.
Jane Austen is one of the most enduring and skilled English novelists. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen`s most flawless work. Beautiful, clever, rich and single, Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. However, when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a `heroine whom no one but myself will much like`, but Emma is irresistible. `Handsome, clever, and rich`, Emma is also an `imaginist`, `on fire with speculation and foresight`. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married.
