Charles Dickens was an English writer and social critic. The Life and Adventures of Martin Cbuzzlewit is his sixth novel. The story involves the escape of a young boy from imminent danger, and portrays the terrified child`s point of view throughout his traumatic experiences. It also contains some of Dickens`s most memorable characters. There is the seedy but charming schemer Montague Tigg, and his associate Chevy Slyme, the eccentrically fey and colourfully attired barber, the buxom goodhearted pub landlady Mrs Lupin and many others. The novel is widely accepted as the last of his picaresque novels and was thought by Dickens himself to be his best novel.

The Lard of the Rings cannot be described in a few words. J.R.R. Tolkien\'s great work has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic of science fiction. It is, however, impossible to convey to the new reader all of the book\'s qualities, and the range of its creation. By turns comic, homely, epic, monstrous and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scenes and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a new mythology in an invented world which has proved tuneless in its appeal. This one volume paperback edition includes the complete unabridged text of the three books. The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, that together make up...

A comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life (1914-1973) of one of the world’s most famous storytellers.‘It is not possible even at great length to "pot" The Lord of the Rings in a paragraph or two.

Auden and Naomi Mitchison) and to fans of his books.

The town psychiatrist has decided to switch everybody in Pine Cove, California, from their normal antidepressants to placebos, so naturally — well, to be accurate, artificially — business is booming at the local blues bar. Trouble is, those lonely slide-guitar notes have also attracted a colossal sea beast named Steve with, shall we say, a thing for explosive oil tanker trucks. Suddenly, morose Pine Cove turns libidinous and is hit by a mysterious crime wave, and a beleaguered constable has to fight off his own gonzo appetites to find out what`s wrong and what, if anything, to do about it.
