Mount Everest is undoubtedly one of the most famous mountains on
Earth. Hundreds of people clamber to its summit every year,
following in Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's footsteps... but
there is so much more to this mountain than the people who climb
it. With sumptuous and stylish illustrations by Lisk Feng, this
dynamic book reveals the great mountain's ancient origins, the
flora and fauna that thrive upon its great flanks, and the rich
mythology of Sagarmatha, the Goddess of the Sky.
Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela is the amazing story of a true hero of our times; his famous biography has been specially adapted for children in a beautiful illustrated picture book format.

Adapted by poet Chris van Wyk and illustrated by South African artist Paddy Bouma, with an introduction from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Long Walk to Freedom introduces children to the life of one of the world's most beloved leaders.
