First written down in the eighth century AD, these early Irish stories depict a far older world - part myth, part legend and part history. Rich with magic and achingly beautiful, they speak of a land of heroic battles, intense love and warrior ideals, in which the otherworld is explored and men mingle freely with the gods.

Jane Austen is one of England`s most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature`s most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published. This selection of Jane Austen`s earliest writing remained unpublished during her lifetime. The title story was written before she was 15, while the other stories were completed before she was 17.

First learning fun for preschoolers Combination of puzzles, coloring, activities and over 100 stickers Encourage hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills.
Wells seemed to be a respectable establishment, but the company now paying Paul Carpenter`s salary is in fact a deeply sinister organisation with a mighty peculiar management team. Paul thought he was getting the hang of it (particularly when he fell head over heels for his strangely alluring colleague Sophie), but death is never far away when you work at Wells. Unlike the stapler - that`s always going awol. Our lovestruck hero is about to discover that custard is definitely in the eye of the beholder. And that it really stings. Tom Holt`s exceedingly comic fantasies are populated with evil goblins, annoying sprites and people like us. However, it`s not always possible to tell the difference.
