Winnie decides she needs a seaside break, so she and Wilbur zoom off to the coast. Winnie makes a beeline for the sea to cool down. Wilbur makes a beeline for anywhere other than the sea - he hates water, and can`t bear getting wet. Winnie is having so much fun in the water that she doesn`t notice her broomstick being washed out to sea. She waves her magic wand in an attempt to get the broomstick back but it doesn`t really go according to plan. The mix of magic and mayhem that follows involves a surfer and a whale and, predictably, it`s poor Wilbur who gets the worst of this paperback with audio CD edition, children can listen to the story with accompanying music and sound effects that really transport listeners to the seaside!

Winston Churchill `mobilized the English language and sent it into battle`. President John F. Kennedy conferring Honorary US Citizenship, April 1963 Winston Churchill was the most eloquent and expressive statesman of his age. When Britain stood alone and all but defenceless, with his resolute and pugnacious tone and puckish sense of humour he inspired his fellow-countrymen to resist, to fight and to conquer. While the definitive collection of Churchill`s speeches fills eight volumes, here, his grandson, Winston S.

He has chosen from his grandfather`s entire output covering the whole of Churchill`s life, from his maiden speech to his last days....
