LIVES THAT NEVER GROW OLD A radical new series – edited by
Richard Holmes – that recovers the great classical tradition of
English biography. Every book is a biographical masterpiece, still
thrilling to read and vividly alive. This short, brilliant,
action-packed biography appeared only eight years after Nelson’s
death at the Battle of Trafalgar (a scene unforgettably described).
It helped transform Nelson into the most popular wartime hero that
Britain has ever placed on top of a column. It first gave currency
to the proverbial stories of his courage and exhibitionism, from
the ‘blind eye’ at Copenhagen, to ‘Kiss me, Hardy’ and the
scandal of ‘Beloved Emma’ at Naples. It was written by the
romantic poet and historian Robert Southey, a one-time radical who
was converted to patriotism by Nelson’s shining (though not
‘untarnished’) example.

A great coloring book of a classic story retold with a new twist
and a happy ending. A story adults and children can enjoy together.
Children will learn important life lessons while they learn to
color. It is very funny and a little scary. While they enjoy
coloring the characters and scenery they will learn about personal
safety, responsibility, friendships and a healthy lifestyle. What
happens when Goldilocks has a conscience and when she becomes
Silverlocks? How the best gifts could have unexpected results? How
small changes can change your life in a big way. Recommended for
children of all ages, parents, grandparents and teachers.
