The Golden Throne
'Wolf Hall for the Ottoman Empire . . . History at its most gripping' Daily Telegraph on The Lion HouseA ground-breaking, present-tense reconstruction of the life and world of one of the most consequential figures in world history, Suleyman the Magnificent, from the author of The Lion HouseChosen by The Times as one of the Best Books of 2025‘A wonderful book – entrancing, addictive, full of effortless erudition’ Rory StewartIstanbul, 1538. The greatest of the Ottoman Sultans is at the pinnacle of world power, while his family and future are at the mercy of their own dynastic law: whichever of his five sons succeeds him must eventually kill all the others. So why not get a head star? or the next fifteen years, as Suleyman the Magnificent and his terrifying pirate captain Barbarossa face down imperial enemies across two hemispheres, the self-fulfilling curse of the Ottomans gathers its own unstoppable momentum. From the burning pyres of Paris to the rain-lashed mountains of Transylvania, from Buda to Basra, from Crimea to the coast of India, The Golden Throne is an intensely gripping yet entirely historical reconstruction of the life and world of the most feared and powerful man of the sixteenth century, revealing the price of succession and the terrible cost of success. ‘The pace, the language and the story-telling are simply magnificent’ Victoria Hislop‘Thrilling entertainment created out of meticulously researched history’ Robert Peston‘Mesmerizing, superb, impossible to put down' Simon Sebag Montefiore'Wonderful and highly enjoyable' Margaret MacMillan
Cleethorpes
Cleethorpes was originally three small farming and fishing hamlets on the Lincolnshire coast, which later combined and eventually developed into a thriving seaside resort. This book examines the early history of the hamlets, and the reader is taken on a journey through their years as a quiet bathing place, when transport posed difficulties to potential holidaymakers. The railway revolutionised Cleethorpes, making it a favourite venue for the inhabitants of nearby manufacturing districts. The railway company became Cleethorpes' leading developer, creating a bustling Victorian resort. In the 20th century the Cleethorpes municipal authority superseded the railway company as resort developer, carrying out an enterprising programme of resort expansion. The author describes the resort's attractions, which in its heyday lured multitudes of visitors. In later decades, Cleethorpes' trade fluctuated dramatically, but there are promising signs of an up-turn in the resort's prospects as it enters the 21st century. Thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated, Cleethorpes: The Creation of a Seaside Resort is essential reading for residents and visitors alike.

After chemotherapy damaged her nerves, Kiera was unsure if she would ever be able to walk again. With a good feeling about Kiera's progress, Javeno decided to record her arrival... She gets out of the front passenger seat of a car without any help. She puts one hand on top of the door and one on the frame before pulling herself up. I'm encouraging her: 'Go on, K-Boogie!'

Chain of Ideas
A revelatory account of the racist conspiracy theory that now pervades global politics – from the prize-winning author of the million-copy bestseller How To Be an Antiracist‘An essential framework for parsing current events . . . meticulously researched . . . worthwhile and accessible . . . also offers a modicum of hope’ Arwa Mahdawi, GuardianThroughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies ‘great replacement theory’, which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities. In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age. But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik’s massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today. PRAISE FOR IBRAM X.

The Cat Who Saved the Library
The instant Sunday Times bestseller.
The must-have sequel to Sosuke Natsukawa's bestselling The Cat Who Saved Books - an uplifting tale from Japan about a talking cat and the power of books to make a difference in the world.
Thirteen-year-old Nanami Kosaki loves reading. The local library has become a home from home and books are her friends. When Nanami notices that some of her favourite books are disappearing from the library shelves, she becomes suspicious of a man in a grey suit whose furtive behaviour doesn't feel right.
Should she follow him to see what he's up to? It wouldn't be dangerous . . . would it?
When a smart-talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and issues a grave warning about how dangerous that would be, they decide to team up and investigate. Where have all the books gone? And can the unlikely duo overcome the challenges ahead?
Warm, wonderful and wise, The Cat Who Saved the Library is a powerful lesson never to underestimate the value of great literature, and a reminder to always think for ourselves.

My Father and the Silver King
Ambrose Erswell ran away from home in London’s East End when he was seven years old, lived on the streets and joined a gang of child pickpockets. At nine he signed on as a “ship’s boy” on a clipper ship sailing to South America — an experience so grim he vowed never to go to sea again. In a bicycle shop, where he found a job, he saw his first automobile. It was the beginning of a lifelong passion for cars. By twelve years of age he’d become a chauffeur. When he saw The Silver King, a melodrama in which the wronged hero is redeemed after making a fortune in a silvermine in South America, he decided that his life must follow a similar trajectory. Like the hero of the play, this cockney lad, who would eventually (in his mid-fifties) become the author’s father, left England and made a fortune in an unlikely business in Australia. The author traces her attraction to the music of the Piraeus underworld and the men who sang the rembetika to her father and to the Music Hall songs she was raised on.

Dračia kaviareň
Saphira si splnila sen: v mestečku s osobitým kúzlom si otvorila kaviareň, kde sú vítaní všetci, dokonca aj dračie mláďatá. No keďže jej malí šupinatí zákazníci neustále podpaľujú zariadenie, jej podnikanie visí na vlásku.
O nezbedných dračích drobcoch vie svoje aj Aiden. Po bratovi, vychýrenom dračom jazdcovi, zdedil vajce a z neho sa vyliahol neposedný Sparky, ktorý samotárskemu majiteľovi poriadne komplikuje starostlivosť o milované rastliny. Keď Aiden vidí, ako to Saphire, odmalička túžiacej po vlastnom drakovi, so Sparkym ide, ponúkne jej dohodu. Ak mu ona vycvičí jeho neposlušné mláďa, on jej pomôže udržať kaviareň nad vodou.
Obaja vedia, že sú riešením problémov toho druhého, lenže vysmiata Saphira a mrzutý Aiden nemôžu byť rozdielnejší. Do cesty sa im stavajú temné tajomstvá dračích rodín, no aj iskry, ktoré nedbajú na triedne rozdiely. Bude aj toto nečakané vzplanutie pohromou... alebo v ich srdciach zažne viac než len vášeň?
