'Steinbeck at the top of his form' New York Times 'In the town they tell the story of the great pearl - how it was found and how it was lost again. They tell of Kino, the fisherman, and of his wife, Juana, and of the baby, Coyotito. And because the story has been told so often, it has taken root in every man's mind.' The Pearl is Steinbeck's heartbreaking short parable about wealth and the darkness and evil it can instill in even the most generous of men's hearts. This edition features a stunning new cover by renowned artist Bijou Karman. '[The Pearl] has the distinction and sincerity that are evident in everything he writes' New Yorker 'There is no more impressive writer on either side of the Atlantic' Time and Tide 'Steinbeck is to be judged by the highest standards' New York Herald Tribune

In Die vaart van die dagbreker beland Edmund en Lucy Pevensie saam met hulle mislike nefie Eustace Scrubb aan boord van die dagbreker – die skip waarmee Prins Kaspian onderweg is na die eensame eilande op soek na die sewe lords van Narnia wat jare gelede spoorloos verdwyn het. Op die gevaarlike reis trotseer hulle allerlei uitdagings– maar die droom om tot by Aslan se land aan die einde van die wereld te seil bly groter as enige vrees vir die onbekende.

Originally published in 1968, Henry and Angus are back for another adventure

Once Henry and his dog, Laird Angus McAngus (Angus for short), had gone hunting for bear. But that was in winter. Now it was summer and time to explore the jungle.

"We may find a tiger," Henry told his mother.

"Well, don't get eaten," his mother said, handing him his lunch.

It was harder exploring the jungle than Henry had thought it would be. The grass was so high he could hardly see over it, and not all of the inhabitants were friendly.

Still, explorers are brave; when they find a tiger, they know just what to do. It is such moments of triumph that make exploring worthwhile, and make reading about it almost as good.
