Die storie van Gulliver se reise is vir Lillie betowerend –
letterlik! Lillie is absoluut gek oor die boek en wonder hoe dit
moet voel om ’n reus te wees in ’n land waar die mense skaars
groter is as jou duim. Maar hoe kom sy daar? Toe haar klein pes van
’n boetie, Leon, haar kom pla met ’n probleem, gee hy onwetend vir
haar die antwoord! Haar eerste probeerslag loop egter skeef, en so
amper word sy die prooi van die buurvrou se kat. Wanneer haar
toordery wel ’n tweede keer slaag, kry sy nie met ’n kat te doen
nie, maar met ’n veel gevaarliker vyand wat die Lilliputters se
lewens daagliks bedreig. Sal sy daarin slaag om hulle te help?

An essential companion to the Harry Potter books, The Tales of
Beedle the Bard is a collection of fairytales from the wizarding
world, via the enchanted pen of J.K. Rowling. Rich with allusions
and symbols from the Harry Potter stories, and enhanced with
fascinating commentary from beloved sage Professor Albus
Dumbledore, this is a Hogwarts Library book to treasure and enjoy
for years to come. All of the gorgeous, grim and gothic detail of
the Bard's five bewitching tales has been brought to life by Chris
Riddell, thrice winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal. Much loved by
generations of witches and wizards, and translated from the
original runes by Hermione Granger, this beautiful edition is the
perfect gift for Harry Potter fans. Mischievous and witty, Beedle
the Bard's stories are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of
all great fables and fairytales. Kindnesses are rewarded and
selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard. Burping
cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way.
Each tale is brought vividly to life with Riddell's trademark wry
humour and elegance, including 'The Tale of the Three Brothers',
familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it plays
in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now available in a
paperback format featuring a brand new cover by Chris Riddell, this
edition contains all of the mesmerising illustrations from the
original hardback plus an exclusive additional art print of Harry,
Ron and Hermione for readers to take out and keep. Prepare to be
spellbound! The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of
Lumos, an international children's charity founded in 2005 by J.K.
Rowling.
Estelle Laure is a bright new talent with a gorgeous voice -
perfect for fans of John Green and Rainbow Rowell. Eden has always
let her head lead the way. It's why she excels at ballet, at
school, and at life in general. But when she nearly drowns and then
wakes from a month-long coma, everything is different. She's
troubled by dreams that seem more real than waking life, and her
neat cookie-cutter existence is no longer satisfying. Unable to
stifle her passionate heart anymore, she finds herself drawn to a
boy with melting-chocolate eyes, and to a future different to what
she ever imagined. That's when Eden discovers that when it comes to
love, first you fall, then you have to leap. Estelle Laure's debut,
This Raging Light, was a stunning debut with an unforgettable voice
that has captured the hearts of readers around the world.
