James Bond spoof starring Rowan Atkinson as Johnny English, a lowly
government clerk who suddenly finds himself promoted to the
position of Britain's Number One International Spy. Sent into
action after the crown jewels are stolen, English and his sidekick
Bough (Ben Miller) soon begin to suspect billionaire Pascal Sauvage
(John Malkovich). The plot thickens when the mysterious Lorna
Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia) begins turning up in the most
unexpected places.
'The perfect gift for anyone who loves all things Christmas ...
it's a festive gem' Woman & Home 'A beautiful, funny and
soulful collection of personal essays' Prima ___________ The
perfect gift book, featuring the writing of Meryl Streep, Bill
Bailey, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Caitlin Moran, Richard
Ayoade, Emily Watson and others, to coincide with the upcoming
movie Last Christmas, starring Emma Thompson, Emilia Clarke and
Henry Golding. When you think back to Christmases past, what (if
anything) made it magical? Looking towards the future, what would
your perfect Christmas be? What would you change? What should we
all change? This is a beautiful, funny and soulful collection of
personal essays about the meaning of Christmas, written by a unique
plethora of voices from the boulevards of Hollywood to the soup
kitchens of Covent Garden. Away from the John Lewis advert, the
high street decorations and the candied orange in Heston
Blumenthal's Christmas pudding, this gem of a book introduced and
curated by Emma Thompson and Greg Wise celebrates the importance of
kindness and generosity, acceptance and tolerance - and shows us
that these values are not just for Christmas.

'A remarkable account of illness, loss and the power of sibling
love' The Times 'Wise's reflections on compassion fatigue are worth
the price of this book alone, but what you take away is something
splendid and unwearying: a sibling's devotion that feels remarkably
like what we mean when we talk of a stage of grace.' Telegraph
'Inspirational... profoundly uplifting' Daily Mail 'Heartbreaking
and inspiring in equal measure' Express 'This is a fantastic book
... Remarkable' Lorraine Kelly _______ A moving, thought-provoking
and surprisingly humorous book which is both a description of a
journey to death and a celebration of the act of living. Based on
Clare Wise's blog, which she started when she was first diagnosed
with cancer in 2013, Not That Kind of Love charts the highs and
lows of the last three years of Clare's life. The end result is not
a book that fills you with despair and anguish. On the contrary,
Not That Kind of Love should be read by everybody for its candour,
and for its warmth and spirit. Clare is an astonishingly dynamic,
witty and fun personality, and her positivity and energy exude from
every page. As she becomes too weak to type, her brother - the
actor Greg Wise - takes over, and the book morphs into a beautiful
meditation on life, and the necessity of talking about death. As
Greg Wise writes in the book: 'Celebrate the small things, the
small moments. If you find yourself with matching socks as you
leave the house in the morning, that is a cause for celebration. If
the rest of the day is spent finding the cure for cancer, or
brokering world peace, then that's a bonus.'
