be cast down from the throne in this masterful first fantasy novel
from Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author and winner of
the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards. Absolutely
wonderful. . .utterly brilliant. -- The New York Times Book Review
For centuries, the kingdom of Iraden has been protected by the god
known as the Raven. He watches over his territory from atop a tower
in the powerful port of Vastai. His will is enacted through the
Raven's Lease, a human ruler chosen by the god himself. His magic
is sustained by the blood sacrifice that every Lease must offer.
And under the Raven's watch, the city flourishes. But the Raven's
tower holds a secret. Its foundations conceal a dark history that
has been waiting to reveal itself. . .and to set in motion a chain
of events that could destroy Iraden forever. It's a delight to read
something so different, so wonderful and strange. -- Patrick

cautionary tales by Astrosaurs author Steve Cole, illustrated by
Tim Archbold. In these delightfully humorous tales of a decidedly
blackish hue, ten follysome toads can never change their beastly
habits despite the efforts of goodly witch Madame Rana who reminds
them 'It's never too late to change.' The Toad With Square Eyes
develops mutant thumbs and fingers and finds himself on the other
side of the screen; Cherry Oddfellow, the Dirty Little Toad, is
part-girl, part-mudslide; and Jeremiah Bratson, the Spoiled Little
Toad, finds himself face-to-face with a perfect robot replica.
Featuring toady facts, quizzes and games, this collection of tales
is a warning to certain children that there must come an hour when
they pay the price...

BBC Radio 4's Poetry Please is the longest-running broadcast of
verse anywhere in the world. First aired in 1979, the programme, a
request show which broadcasts to two million listeners a week, has
become a unique record of the country's best-loved poems over the
decades since its inception. The BBC has looked back through its
rich archive of recordings to produce a poll of the most asked for
and most broadcast pieces ever: fifty of those poems are read here
by Adjoa Andoh and Anton Lesser, both regular voices for the
programme. The selection includes poems by Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, William Blake, Rupert Brooke, Lord Byron, G.K.
Chesterton, T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats, Edward Lear,
Sylvia Plath, Christina Rossetti, William Shakespeare, Dylan
Thomas, William Wordsworth, and W.B. Yeats
Adjoa Andoh reads a dynamic new story featuring the Ninth Doctor
and Rose, as played on TV by Christopher Eccleston and Billie
Piper. When the Doctor diverts an asteroid from its collision
course with Earth, the TARDIS is invaded by an ancient menace: a
Solonite. Racing to save her friend's life, Rose lands the TARDIS
in Northumberland, Earth in 1986, and they find shelter in an
isolated farmhouse. Teaming up with Peggy, a grieving artist, the
travellers realise the terrible truth: the Solonite has accompanied
them to Earth, and is now at large. As the terrifying entity seeks
to possess them, its fearful purpose becomes clear - and it
involves the TARDIS... Adjoa Andoh, who played Francine Jones in
the BBC TV series, reads Niel Bushnell's electrifying original
story, with accompanying sound design. (P) 2021 BBC Studios

'A powerful account of Teege's struggle for resolution and
redemption.' Independent An international bestseller, this is the
extraordinary and moving memoir of a woman who learns that her
grandfather was Amon Goeth, the brutal Nazi commandant depicted in
Schindler's List. When Jennifer Teege, a German-Nigerian woman,
happened to pluck a library book from the shelf, she had no idea
that her life would be irrevocably altered. Recognising photos of
her mother and grandmother in the book, she discovers a horrifying
fact: Her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the vicious Nazi commandant
chillingly depicted by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List - a man
known and reviled the world over. Although raised in an orphanage
and eventually adopted, Teege had some contact with her biological
mother and grandmother as a child. Yet neither revealed that
Teege's grandfather was the Nazi "butcher of Plaszow," executed for
crimes against humanity in 1946. The more Teege reads about Amon
Goeth, the more certain she becomes: If her grandfather had met
her-a black woman-he would have killed her. Teege's discovery sends
her, at age 38, into a severe depression-and on a quest to unearth
and fully comprehend her family's haunted history. Her research
takes her to Krakow - to the sites of the Jewish ghetto her
grandfather 'cleared' in 1943 and the Plaszow concentration camp he
then commanded - and back to Israel, where she herself once
attended college, learned fluent Hebrew, and formed lasting
friendships. Teege struggles to reconnect with her estranged mother
Monika, and to accept that her beloved grandmother once lived in
luxury as Amon Goeth's mistress at Plaszow. Teege's story is
co-written by award-winning journalist Nikola Sellmair, who also
contributes a second, interwoven narrative that draws on original
interviews with Teege's family and friends and adds historical
context. Ultimately, Teege's resolute search for the truth leads
her, step by step, to the possibility of her own liberation.
