Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults
alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful slip-cased gift edition of
this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original
translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations. A
pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most
extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “Please…’
asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep…’ And the pilot realises
that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is
no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil
and paper … and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that,
in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has
changed the world forever for its readers. This stunning new
edition of the classic children's book The Little Prince, includes
the classic English translation by Katherine Woods and original
colour illustrations which will capture the hearts of readers of
all ages. Featuring bonus non-fiction content, exploring the
history of The Little Prince, the real-life plane crash that
inspired the story, the life of the author and more! Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The
Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed
exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication
in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while
flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best
known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The
Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have
also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods
(1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little
Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English
translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and
is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her
poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of
Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.

'A vivid and gripping, superbly told historical adventure' - Sophie
Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs and The Girl Who
Speaks Bear on Rosie Raja: Churchill's Spy It is the autumn of
1941, and Rosie Raja is back for another action-packed and
electrifying adventure. After successfully helping her spy father
complete his mission in France, Rosie has gained quite a reputation
for herself and is determined to continue her secret agent
escapades. This time around, Rosie finds herself undercover in the
magnificent and scorching city of Cairo, officially to make sure
Egypt's amazing historical artefacts are kept safe from the
Nazis... but really to root out a traitor in the British ranks.
With the stakes higher than they've ever been, can Rosie and her
father keep each other safe? A thrilling and empowering
coming-of-age WWII adventure set in the dazzling city of Cairo
which follows an engaging, determined, Muslim heroine called Rosina
Raja. Perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo and Emma Carroll, and
those looking for diverse historical fiction.
The first in a new madcap, hilarious series about Bridget
Vanderpuff, whipsmart inventor and amateur sleuth with a taste for
adventure. It's a recipe for fun with mystery, villainy, cake and
sprinkles of silliness, heart and hope. Bridget Baxter is the very
last orphan at the Orphanage for Errant Childs, left at the mercy
of the awful Miss Acrid and her foul-smelling fish sandwiches. Miss
Acrid's mission is to make Bridget's life a misery. But Bridget is
more than a match for her. When kindly Mr Vanderpuff arrives at the
Orphanage in search of a child to care for, Bridget thinks her luck
has finally turned. Mr Vanderpuff is the village baker, and his
shop is a world of wonders. But they soon discover that Bridget is
absolutely terrible at baking. When Miss Acrid returns for the
ultimate revenge, Bridget must open the Locked and Secret Door,
navigate Miss Acrid's spiderweb of booby traps and use her unique
baking skills to save herself - and Mr Vanderpuff - from certain
disaster. Join Bridget as she dons her chef whites and gets the
kwassongs at the ready... Baking isn't such a piece of cake.
