Hodgson Burnett's cherished children's story brings together the
complete and unabridged text with over seventy evocative
illustrations and botanical studies by the award-winning artist
Robert Ingpen. When spoiled rich girl, Mary Lennox, is orphaned,
she is shipped from India to live in her uncle's enormous manor in
faraway England. Before long, Mary finds a key to a secret garden
that has been left untouched for ten years, and a whole new world
of enchantment opens up to her. For the first time she learns to

– and together they reveal the garden's haunting secrets. A

The perfect gift for a young reader. Share your beloved childhood
stories with the next generation! When Alice sees a White Rabbit
with a waistcoat and a watch hurrying down a rabbit hole, she
follows him without a thought for where she is going, and how she
will get home. She finds herself in a world beyond imagination,
where she seems never to be the same size for more than five
minutes, where riddles have no answers, where playing cards rule,
and where no one seems sane or sensible. In Alice's quest to find
her way home, she meets a cast of unforgettable characters – the
Mad Hatter and the March Hare, the sleepy Dormouse, the fearsome
Queen of Hearts and, of course, the smiling Cheshire Cat. But where
is the White Rabbit? And what is he late for? And how will she ever
find her way home? For over 150 years, the story that Lewis Carroll
wrote as a celebration of the magical realms of the human
imagination has enchanted generations of readers with its memorable
characters, passages and verses. Glorious full-colour illustrations
from the Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning artist Robert
Ingpen. 'Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling' – Michael

one, and how to keep yourself safe. Humorously written by

childhood stories with the next generation! Evocative of an era
when all travel was an adventure, this timeless classic is
perfectly captured by Robert Ingpen's rich and detailed
illustrations. Although round-the-world travel is now possible in
hours rather than weeks, Jules Verne's tale of a race against the
clock has never lost its power to thrill. Set in 1872, Mr. Phileas
Fogg, a gentleman of precision and predictability, and his
manservant, the ever resourceful Passepartout, ride through India
on an elephant, sail the South China Sea in the teeth of a typhoon,
and cross the snow-covered plains of the American Wild West in
order to fulfill a wager that the journey can be completed in just
80 days. The ill-assorted but determined trio have to use all of
their ingenuity and some remarkable vehicles to race back to
London. Will they make it in time? A full-colour illustrated
edition of one of the world's best loved stories. 'Ingpen's
