The story of the Nativity is read in homes, schools and churches all through Advent, year after year. The emotion and detail in Anne Yvonne Gilbert's exquisite illustrations will make this picture book of the first Christmas stand out in the memory with all the awe and splendour that the birth of Jesus evokes. The retelling follows the traditional sequence of episodes and echoes the language of the Gospels themselves. A picture book to be treasured.

In 1975, under a bed in an old house in Tarrytown, New York, an unearthly tome entitled Ghostology was discovered, wrapped in a substance, later found to be ectoplasm. It is the life's work and study of American ghostologist Lucinda Curtle, who mysteriously passed to the Other Side during a seance. After her death, Ghostology seemingly became haunted by the ghost of Lucinda herself, who now wants to keep the secrets of the dead A SECRET. Now published, ghostwritten by Dugald Steer, the world itself can decide if Ghostology - purporting to tell the truth about ghosts - was solid fact or insubstantial fiction. Delve into the wealth of information and learn about different types of ghosts, ghosts around the world and ghost through history; haunted houses, ships and other objects (including books); the ghostologist's field kit; psychics and mediums; fakes and frauds; test your ghostological knowledge on one of Lucinda's own case studies. Complete with a jewel in the cover, as well as letters, booklets, sealed pages, flaps, a moving wheel novelty and glow in the dark ink.

This gift collection brings together all the major stories from the Old and New Testaments.
