'A delight' Stylist 'Funny, real and caring' YOU Magazine 'Funny,
irreverent and moving... everything you would expect from the
thick-fringed presenter who's won a place in the nation's hearts'
The Sun 'Full of hilarious insights' Vanity Fair A SUNDAY TIMES
BESTSELLER Funny, moving and truthful... Quite Claudia Winkleman's
warmth, humour, no-holds-barred attitude and smoky eye have made
her the favourite broadcaster of millions and a much-loved
household name. In this, her first ever book, Claudia invites us
all into her world. She shares her observations on topics such as
the importance of melted cheese, why black coats are vital, how
it's never okay to have sex with someone who has an opinion on your
date outfit, how nurses are our most precious national treasure,
and why colourful clothing is only for the under 10s (if you're
reading this sporting a bright red jumper and you're 9, great! If
you're older, sorry). This is a love letter to life - the real,
sometimes messy kind. Quite celebrates friendship, the power of
art, the highs and lows of parenting, and of course, how a good
eyeliner can really save your life. Heartfelt, wry and unmistakably
Claudia, this book gets to the heart of what really matters.
Claudia Winkleman's Quite was a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller w/c

You know a pile of poo when you see one. But what about when the
poo is carefully concealed in an everyday scene? With great
artistry and mischievous glee, bestselling author Hugh Jassburn has
created a selection of entrancing visual puzzles to keep you
entertained whenever you need a comfort break. Whether you're
scanning a busy beach or scoping out a city street, there's a dump
to be discovered on every spread of this highly amusing
search-and-find book.
This omnibus edition - now in hardback - contains much of Norman
Thelwell's invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get
into the saddle and stay there; each item illustrated with
inimitable and deadly clarity. From the first publication of Angels
on Horseback in 1957, the Thelwell pony entered the language and
the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere. The angels in Angels on
Horseback are children, but there is plenty here about their
parents. Both for those who know Thelwell, and for those who have
not met him before, this book is a savoury at all times but
especially after attending a gymkhana. Since their debut appearance
in Punch over sixty years ago, Norman Thelwell's cartoons and
drawings have delighted millions of people all over the world. His
portrayals of sporting pursuits, human beings at play, the life of
the countryside and, of course, ponies, are the products of a
unique comic genius.
This title tells you what to do if your partner: has an irritating
laugh; never remembers your birthday; drives drunk; is rude to
waiters; tells the same jokes over and over again; avoids paying
the bills; disgusts you in everyway.
Soldiers disguised as a herd of cows, cork bath mats for troops
crossing streams and a tank with a piano attachment for camp
concerts are just some of the absurd inventions to be found in this
book of cartoons designed to keep spirits up during the Second
World War. These intricate comic drawings poke gentle fun at both
the instruments of war and the indignity of the air-raid shelter in
Heath Robinson's inimitable style.

puzzles, activities and trivia will serve as a leisurely stroll
down memory lane, dusting off half-remembered facts and even
filling in a few gaps. From bestselling author and fiendish
brain-teaser Hugh Jassburn, this illustrated celebration of
history's finest decade includes the following challenges and more:
Help Arnie navigate through a jungle maze to get to the chopper
