Read the novel New York Times bestselling author of The Alice
Network Kate Quinn called "easily one of the best novels I have
read all year!" A critically acclaimed, multi-layered romance set
in the perilous days of World Wars I and II, where gods hold the
fates--and the hearts--of four mortals in their hands. They are
Hazel, James, Aubrey, and Colette. A classical pianist from London,
a British would-be architect-turned-soldier, a Harlem-born ragtime
genius in the U.S. Army, and a Belgian orphan with a gorgeous voice
and a devastating past. Their story, as told by goddess Aphrodite,
who must spin the tale or face judgment on Mount Olympus, is filled
with hope and heartbreak, prejudice and passion, and reveals that,
though War is a formidable force, it's no match for the
transcendent power of Love. Hailed by critics, Lovely War has
received seven starred reviews and is an indie bestseller. Author
Julie Berry has been called "a modern master of historical fiction"
by Bookpage and "a celestially inspired storyteller" by the New
York Times, and Lovely War is truly her masterwork.

Young Godfrey and his family toil for the lord and lady of the
castle. But when Godfrey stumbles upon an unfinished Book of
Beasts, its splendid pictures of animals make him forget his
chores. He invents the story of a brave knight, Sir Godfrey the

conquers a bonnacon, and triumphs over a dragon. Godfrey does not
realize that each time he says the name of an animal, it magically
emerges from the book, causing mayhem and inadvertently
accomplishing his chores. Written by award-winning author Julie
Berry, and featuring fantastical illustrations by April Lee, this
children's book also contains engaging back matter with information
on life in the Middle Ages and a mini-bestiary showing animals from
original thirteenth-century manuscripts. Don't Let the Beasties
Escape This Book! brings the Middle Ages, legendary beasts, and the
medieval imagination to life. Ages 5 and up.
