A hilarious, highly original collection of essays based on the
Botswana truism: "only food runs!" With a new introduction and new
material from the authorIn the tradition of Bill Bryson, a new
writer brings us the lively adventures and biting wit of an African
safari guide. Peter Allison gives us the guide's-eye view of living
in the bush, confronting the world's fiercest terrain of wild
animals and, most challenging of all, managing herds of gaping
tourists. Passionate for the animals of the Kalahari, Allison works
as a top safari guide in the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta. As he
serves the whims of his wealthy clients, he often has to stop the
impulse to run as far away from them as he can, as these tourists
are sometimes more dangerous than a pride of lions. No one could
make up these outrageous-but-true tales: the young woman who
rejected the recommended safari-friendly khaki to wear a more
"fashionable" hot pink ensemble; the lost tourist who happened to
be drunk, half-naked, and a member of the British royal family;
establishing a real friendship with the continent's most vicious
animal; the Japanese tourist who requested a repeat performance of
Allison's being charged by a lion so he could videotape it; and
spending a crazy night in the wild after blowing a tire on a tour
bus, revealing that Allison has as much good-natured scorn for
himself. The author's humor is exceeded only by his love and
respect for the animals, and his goal is to limit any negative
exposure to humans by planning trips that are minimally
invasive—unfortunately it doesn't always work out that way!New
story: People often ask safari guides about the experience that
frightened them the most. In this story Peter Allison tells of the
time he became aware of unseen danger, and knew that somewhere
within meters of him was a hunting lioness. Peter Allison is
originally from Sydney, Australia. His safaris have been featured
in National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler, and on television
programs such as Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures. He travels
frequently to speaking appearances, and splits most of his time
between Botswana, Sydney, and San Francisco.
The feature length spin-off and prequel to the 2010 hit 'Despicable Me'.
Throughout history, and before Gru, the Minions have served many a despicable master, including Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Dracula. But having contributed to their masters' downfalls through a series of mishaps, the Minions find themselves living in Antarctica with no one to serve. A number of years pass and it isn't until 1968 that dispirited Minions Kevin, Stuart and Bob set off to New York City to attend a villain convention and find themselves a new master.
Here they meet the ambitious and dastardly Scarlet Overkill, who, with the help of her husband Herb, plans to take over the world...

A beautiful and moving picture book from Waterstones Children's
Laureate, Joseph Coelho, tells the story of how a big, hairy
argument gets in between two best friends. "The argument came from
nowhere. It sat huge and bloated in the middle of the playground
between me and my best friend." This big hairy monster appears out
of the blue one day, splitting up the best friends and growing
bigger and bigger, until it starts to ruin all the children in the
playground's fun. Together, they learn how to shrink the monster
until it vanishes completely, to the point where they can't even
remember what it looks like! Coelho's gentle and lyrical verse pair
perfectly with Allison Colpoys' beautiful illustrations to create a
book which will be treasured by young readers. This is an ode to
the power of an apology, and to treasuring a special bond that runs
deeper than even the friends realised.

seamstress who is sent to dress the prince for his royal wedding -
and the scandal she weaves in her wake. All Niamh has longed for is
to be remembered: to create something that will last far longer
than she will. For her, that means becoming a renowned dressmaker,
using the magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and
memories into fabric - the same magic that will eventually kill
her. When Niamh is commissioned to design the prince's wardrobe for
a royal wedding in Avaland, she knows she finally has her chance to

for his wedding, despite his cold, prickly demeanour. And soon, a

she never thought possible... Threaded with intrigue and
