Let Secret Bangkok guide you around the unusual and unfamiliar.
Step off the beaten track with this fascinating Bangkok guide book
and let our local experts show you the well-hidden treasures of
this amazing city. Ideal for local inhabitants, curious visitors
and armchair travellers alike. Only in a city with as much to offer
as Thailand's City of Angels could a temple boasting a million
Buddhas have remained overlooked by visitors. Bangkok is regularly
listed as the number one city destination in the world yet take
time to scratch just a little below the surface and you'll find
stunning and intriguing (and sometimes downright bizarre) spots
that remain virtually unknown to outsiders ... and often to the
citizens themselves. Frequent residents Narina Exelby and Mark
Eveleigh spent over a year hunting down some of the city's most
captivating secret spots - many of which even experienced local
guides had never heard of. This book will lead you to the place
where people offer bacon and eggs to tiger temple guardians, and a
temple with elaborate effigies of David Beckham, Donald Duck and
Popeye. It will take you into the lair of giant monitor lizards,
show you how to gain merit by sponsoring a coffin, or how to
decipher, from a tree trunk, the winning lottery numbers offered by
a beautiful female ghost. You'll also meet a unique community of
outlaw flute-players, eat a communal vegetarian breakfast with
Bangkok's Sikh community, learn about the traditional Thai pastime
of "baldy-butting", and meet a celebrated "healer" who goes by the
name of Madame Breast-slapper.Secret Bangkok is more than just an
indispensable guide to the hidden face of the city: it is written
also to offer fascinating background information for those who love
to connect with the soul of a place.
Sometimes a lie is a wish. Once upon a time there was a lonely
carpenter, a curious cat, and a little wooden puppet who one day
came to life... In this spectacular new version of the much-loved
classic tale, Pinocchio discovers why it's best to always tell the
truth. With a touch of magic from the blue fairy, enter a world of
gingerbread villages and snow-capped mountains in this adventure of
friendship and family, written by award-winning and internationally
recognised writer Eve Leigh. This edition was published to coincide
with the world premiere at Unicorn Theatre, London, in November
2022.
Born into the gap between the eras of austerity and boom, David
grew up in Merseyside amid an inexorable tide of progress,
developing a fascination with the past. With a vivid eye for detail
and boundless childhood curiosity for everything from steam trains
to 'My Old Man's a Dustman', his account documents the uneasy
relationship between worlds old and new. Featuring unique
photographs and authoritative observations on architecture, social
and local history based on forty years' work in museums and
heritage conservation, Escaping Suburbia offers a different view of
the 'swinging' sixties.
New adventures are in store for Joe and everyone else at the Hidden
Horseshoe sanctuary in the third book in Victoria Eveleigh's new
horse and pony series. Joe is fascinated by every horse he meets.
Lightning is a pony club champion, but new challenges await Joe
with his second pony, Fortune. Then he meets Velvet and Sherman,
two majestic Shires, who open his eyes to the world of heavy
horses. And Joe is about to discover just how awesome Shires can be
when they help him in a dangerous and dramatic rescue at the Hidden
Horseshoe sanctuary. The third in a pony trilogy for boys and girls
from the author of the Katy's Ponies trilogy.
Georgia Williams’ murder at the hands of college pal Jamie
Reynolds was a crime that shocked the nation: chillingly executed
and horrific in its sexual depravity. But when Georgia’s
devastated mother, Lynnette, and father, Steve, questioned the
events leading to their daughter’s death, they discovered it was
also entirely preventable. At the time of Georgia’s
disappearance, Steve was – ironically – a highly-commended
murder squad detective serving with West Mercia Police. The same
force, Steve and Lynnette discovered, had had Reynolds in its
sights for years before Georgia’s murder, but let him slip their
net. Drawing on Steve’s inside police knowledge, the couple
exposed the litany of failures that let Reynolds infiltrate their
daughter’s life, and allowed him to kill. Now, in her powerful
and moving memoir, Lynnette tries to get beyond the platitudes of
‘mistakes made and lessons learned’ to effect real change, and
also details the heartbreaking aftermath of a crime that should
never have happened.
In February 2016, Rachel Swarms, Darcy Eveleigh, Damien Cave, and
Dana Canedy discovered dozens of photographs--and explored the
history behind them--and chronicled them in the popular blog series
Unpublished Black History. The month-long series was overwhelmingly
well-received and garnered 1.7 million views and thousands of
comments from readers. This book dives even deeper in the Times
photo archives--known as the Morgue--to showcase 120 more
photographs and their untold stories. The never-before-published
photographs include a 27-year-old Jesse Jackson leading a rally of
4,000 people in Chicago, Rosa Parks arriving at a Montgomery
Courthouse, and a candid behind-the-scenes shot of Aretha Franklin
backstage at the Apollo Theater. Were the photos--or the people in
them--not deemed newsworthy enough? Did the images not arrive in
time for publication? Were they pushed aside by words at an
institution long known as the Gray Lady? Swarms, Eveleigh, Cave,
and Canedy explore all these questions and more in this
one-of-a-kind book.

special gift to take home from Bali, a workshop where Batiks are

There are lots of things Joe would wish if he had the chance - that
his family hadn't moved from the city to the country, that his mum

his garden, he makes some wishes just for fun. After all, there's
always a chance they might come true... The first in a pony trilogy
for boys and girls from the author of the KATY'S PONIES trilogy.
