works of Shakespeare! Richard III is one of Shakespeare's most
popular historical plays. It takes place in the final years of the
War of the Roses, when the first and last Yorkist kings rule

his brother's throne and will stop at nothing to get it. This
includes the murder, betrayal and manipulation of family, friends
and foe alike, as well as some of Shakespeare's most famous quotes.

narrative and comic-style illustrations are a great way to
introduce children and students to the story before approaching the
original texts.
A brand-new Winnie-the-Pooh story, featuring the best-loved
characters from the Hundred Acre Wood. Whatever we do, there's
always two, there's Winnie-the-Pooh plus Me. And Pooh said, 'That
is very true.' But sort of wondered if I knew, it was two once, but
then it grew... Someone has come along to join Winnie-the-Pooh and
Christopher Robin on their adventure, but who could it be? It can't
be Kanga and Roo - they're sailing a boat - and it can't be Owl,

beloved honey? Or perhaps Pooh and Christopher Robin are
accompanied by a pair of friends who are never far away on a sunny
day. With a gentle rhyming story by bestselling author Jeanne
Willis, inspired by A. A. Milne's classic poem 'Us Two' from Now We
Are Six, and charming illustrations by Mark Burgess, in the style
of E. H. Shepard, this authorised sequel is the perfect gift for
anyone who loves the enchanting world of Winnie-the-Pooh and
friends.
