Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in
children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books,
particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working
to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality,
colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works
can delight another generation of children. Arthur Rackham
(1867-1939) was one of the premier illustrators of the early 20th
Century. He illustrated many books, the first of which was
published in 1893. Throughout his career he had developed a very
individual style that is was to influence a whole generation of
children, artists and other illustrators. His haunting humour and
dreamlike romance adds to the enchantment and fantasy of children's
literature.
As expectation mounts on Christmas Eve, a boy hears sleigh bells
ringing and looks out of the window in time to see Santa arrive.
Santa comes down the chimney (this is a fun picture as the book is
tall and thin) and delivers the presents while pretending he does
not notice the boy watching. Off he rides with all his favourite
reindeer, and it's time for Christmas to begin! Told in verse
that's perfect to recite aloud with all the family gathered around,
this poem has stood the test of time since it was first written
almost 200 years ago.

In this 2010 edition of their book on the economic development of
the Middle East and North Africa, Clement Henry and Robert
Springborg reflect on what has happened to the region's economy
since 2001. How have the various countries in the Middle East
responded to the challenges of globalization and to the rise of
political Islam, and what changes, for better or for worse, have
occurred? Utilizing the country categories they applied in the
previous book and further elaborating the significance of the
structural power of capital and Islamic finance, they demonstrate
how over the past decade the monarchies (as exemplified by Jordan,
Morocco and those of the Gulf Cooperation Council) and the
conditional democracies (Israel, Turkey and Lebanon) continue to do
better than the military dictatorships or 'bullies' (Egypt, Tunisia
and now Iran) and 'the bunker states' (Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Sudan,
Syria and Yemen).

In her fresh imagining of Clement C. Moore's timeless classic,
acclaimed watercolorist Holly Hobbie introduces an entirely new
character to capture the magic and heighten the wonder of this
exciting, mysterious time. Her inimitable illustrations glow with
warmth and feeling and will transport you to a place where anything
can happen.
Amy Goodnight knows that the world isn't as simple as it seems. She
also understands that "normal" doesn't mix with magic, and she's
worked hard to build a wall between the two worlds. Not only to
protect her family, who are all practicing witches, but to protect
any hope of ever having a normal life herself.
Ranch-sitting for her aunt in Texas should be exactly that: good
old ordinary, uneventful hard work. Only, Amy and her sister, Phin,
aren't alone. There's someone else in the house with them--and it's
not the living, breathing, amazingly hot cowboy from the ranch next
door.
It's a ghost, and it's more powerful than the Goodnights and all
their protective spells combined. It wants something from Amy, and
none of her carefully built defenses can hold it back.
This is the summer when the wall between Amy's worlds is going to
come crashing down.
A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
An ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults
Praise for Texas Gothic:
Star] "You can't get much more Nancy Drew. . . . This engaging
mystery has plenty of both paranormal and romance, spiced with
loving families and satisfyingly packed with self-sufficient,
competent girls."--"Kirkus Reviews," Starred
Star] "Teens looking for a rollicking adventure filled with
paranormal events, dastardly evildoers, and laugh-out-loud moments
as Amy and Ben argue and snipe their way to love will adore this
book."--"School Library Journal," Starred
"The author mixes suspense, humor, and lots of local flavor. . . .
The enjoyable sum is a lively teen ghost story with sex
appeal."--"The Horn Book"
"A deeply affectionate rendering of Texas landscapes and legends
combines with an appealing cast of well-developed characters to
give texture to this well-plotted mystery; truly scary moments are
balanced by the humorous bumbles of the awkwardly developing
romance between Amy and Ben, as well as Phin's sublime cluelessness
about the way her eccentricities appear to other people."--"The
Bulletin"
"From the Hardcover edition."
