Montgomery, Christmas with Charles Dickens, and Christmas with O.
Henry. The book will feature elegantly designed covers and

Charles Dickens was one of the great chroniclers of London life. From the colourful chaos of dances and gin-shops to the sparse destitution of the pawnshop and the penitentiary, he captured the grime and the glory of the English capital with singular brilliance.
Orphans and beggars, lord mayors and murderers, actors, criminals, cab drivers and prostitutes; all rub shoulders in this wonderful selection from Sketches by Boz.
Chosen and introduced by the playwright J. B. Priestley, these thirteen marvellous sketches are accompanied by George Cruikshank’s evocative illustrations.
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
In Verwonde jare spat Daniël Pohl se wêreld aan skerwe met die verskyning van
’n skokkende nuusberig: ’n Man in ’n silwergrys Mercedes het ’n vrou se baba in
sy stootwaentjie doodgery en weggejaag. Daniël het presies só ’n motor, en hy’s
dieselfde middag opgemerk in die omgewing waar die voorval plaasgevind het.
In Môre lê ver word die rykmansdogter Tania Erasmus se gemaksugtige bestaan
op sy kop gekeer toe ’n vreemdeling onverwags by haar verlowingspartytjie
opdaag. Sy word ’n baie belangrike lewensles geleer: dat ryk nie gelyk is aan
beter nie.
En in Die meisie van Klaradynstraat het prokureur Owen Kemp Elsa Brits van
haar agterbuurtbestaan verlos, maar nie van probleme en pyn nie. Te midde van
al die welvarendheid besef Elsa dat ongelukkigheid nie beperk is tot die
agterstrate nie. Hul dogter Isobel het alles wat haar hart begeer, maar sy kry
pynaanvalle wat deur ’n diep ongelukkigheid veroorsaak word.
