The Huge Bag of Worries was written by Virginia Ironside, one of Britain's leading agony aunts, and has sold 140k copies to date.
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.
Fred is a kind young frog who feels as if he is a duck on the
inside but, on the outside, he looks very much like a frog. He is
desperate to convince the other frogs that he is a duck but
unfortunately they think otherwise... This heart warming story
takes Fred and his froggy friends on a journey of self-discovery,
understanding and acceptance.
Grow your heart three sizes-and dazzle your eyes-with this FULL
COLOR edition of the beloved holiday classic How the Grinch Stole
Christmas!-the perfect gift for under the tree and for Dr. Seuss
fans and collectors any time of year! This season of giving, give a
gift that's never been given before-a full color edition of How the
Grinch Stole Christmas! Originally published in 1957 using just 2
different colored inks (red and black), this new, jacketed edition
features Dr. Seuss's original illustrations in full color for the
very first time-the way he'd have likely colored them had he
published the book today! While this edition is not a replacement
for the original, we think it makes a cheerful addition to the Dr.
Seuss canon that is bound to appeal to Dr. Seuss fans of all ages.
PS: The drabness of the Grinch's life in his cave compared to the
happy, vibrant life of the Whos in Who-ville has never been easier
to see!
