When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming a grown up,
journalist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir,
she vividly recounts falling in love, wrestling with self-sabotage,
finding a job, throwing a socially disastrous Rod-Stewart themed
house party, getting drunk, getting dumped, realising that Ivan
from the corner shop is the only man you've ever been able to rely
on, and finding that that your mates are always there at the end of
every messy night out. Glittering, with wit and insight, heart and
humour, this is a book about the struggles of early adulthood in
all its grubby, hopeful uncertainty.

In book 1c of the Dung Beetle Learning series, mummy takes Susan
and John out for an exciting day trip in London, as part of their
new re-education programme. Looking, thinking and re-evaluating the
world around them is a crucial part of a child's core development.
A simple stroll down the local high street is magically illuminated
by mummy's insights into the nature of society, religion, art and
the various other forms of hierarchal or patriarchal oppression.
Para Handy has been sailing his way into the affections of
generations of Scots since he first weighed anchor in the pages of
the Glasgow Evening News in 1905. The master mariner and his crew -
Dougie the mate, Macphail the engineer, Sunny Jim and the Tar - all
play their part in evoking the irresistible atmosphere of a bygone
age when puffers sailed between West Highland ports and the great
city of Glasgow. This definitive edition contains all three
collections published in the author's lifetime, as well as those
that were unpublished and a new story which was discovered in 2001.
Extensive notes accompany each story, providing fascinating
insights into colloquialisms, place-names and historical events.
This volume also includes a wealth of contemporary photographs,
depicting the harbours, steamers and puffers from the age of the
Vital Spark.
