Jim Kay's dazzling depiction of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world has won legions of fans since the first Illustrated Edition of the Harry Potter novels was published in hardback in 2015, becoming a bestseller around the world. This irresistible smaller-format paperback edition of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban perfectly pairs J.K. Rowling's storytelling genius with Jim Kay's illustration wizardry, bringing the magic of Harry Potter to new readers with full-colour pictures and a handsome poster pull-out at the back of the book. This edition has been beautifully redesigned with selected illustration highlights, and is packed with breathtaking scenes and unforgettable characters - including Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Professor Trelawney. The fully illustrated edition is still available in hardback.
Fizzing with magic and brimming with humour, this inspired reimagining will captivate wizards and Muggles alike, as Harry, now in his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, faces Dementors, death omens and - of course - danger.

Having crash-landed in the Sahara desert, a pilot comes across a young boy who introduces himself as the Little Prince and tells him the story of how he grew up on a tiny asteroid before travelling across the galaxies and coming to Earth. His encounters and discoveries, seen through childlike, innocent eyes, give rise to candid reflections on life and human nature. Presented here in a new translation by Gregory Norminton and featuring the author's own watercolour illustrations, The Little Prince has become a classic philosophical fable for young and old.
A royal family is thrown into utter ruin by its own poisonous web
of distrust, deceit and struggle for power. Shakespeare's tragedy
is one unsurpassed power and depth. It follows the descent of the
ageing King Lear into madness, perpetuated by his malevolent
daughters Goneril and Regan who struggle to gain power over the
kingdom. Having banished his favorite daughter Cordelia, a loving,
compassionate and honest woman, when she refuses to partake in a
competition of flattery, he sets in motion a catastrophic sequence
of events that will ultimately destroy his sanity, family and
kingdom. The lines between good and evil are faultlessly drawn in
this exploration of filial ingratitude, injustice, avarice and
love. In a time when swollen words, false pretexts and the struggle
for power are again the order of the day the message of King Lear
carries renewed significance.
