Ak je človek od prírody štedrý, jeho ruky a srdce sú vždy pripravené rozdávať, a hoci sa niekedy môže stať, že má ruky prázdne, srdce je vždy plné a môže rozdávať z neho - teplo, lásku, milotu, pomoc, útechu a smiech - a niekedy je radostný a láskavý smiech najlepším darom. Cedric Errol žije so svojou milujúcou matkou v skromných podmienkach v Amerike. Ich pokojný život sa zmení, keď sa Cedric dozvie, že je dedičom anglického šľachtického titulu a má odísť do Anglicka, aby sa stal nástupcom svojho bohatého, no chladného starého otca, grófa z Dorincourtu. Napriek nedôvere a predsudkom grófa si Cedric svojou nevinnosťou, dobrosrdečnosťou a úprimnosťou postupne získa nielen jeho srdce, ale aj priazeň ľudí okolo seba. Kniha je podmanivým príbehom o láske, šľachetnosti a sile detskej nevinnosti, ktorá roztopiť aj ľadové srdcia. Tento klasický román je nielen krásnym čítaním pre deti, ale aj nadčasovým posolstvom pre dospelých o hodnote charakteru a jeho víťazstve nad pôvodom a bohatstvom. V takejto podobe v slovenčine vychádza po prvý raz a je obohatený o ilustrácie maliara Grahama Rusta, ktorý príbehu vdýchol jedinečnú atmosféru. Príbeh o láskavom malom lordovi vychádza v revidovanom slovenskom preklade Oľgy Kralovičovej.

But when she learns that she will never see her beloved father again, her life is turned upside down and now poor Sara has to work as a servant.

Zvyká si sama v nové zemi a snaží se najít si v dívčí škole slečny Minchinové kamarádky. Když se však dozví, že už nikdy neuvidí svého milovaného otce, obrátí se její život vzhůru nohama a nyní již úplně chudá Sára musí pracovat jako služebná. Její zkušenostiji brzo naučí, že je cennější být princeznou ve svém nitru než navenek.

Nádherné nové vydanie nesmrteľného klasického príbehu o sile odhodlania a fantázie. Malá Sara je výnimočne inteligentná a privilegovaná študentka Výberového lýcea pre mladé dámy pani Minchinovej, ktorá si majetok Sárinho otca cení oveľa viac než vedomosti a milú povahu svojej zverenkyne, a potajme na dievča žiarli. Obe, hoci každú z iného dôvodu, zdrví nečakaná správa o jeho smrti. Sara, ktorú majetok a otcovo rozmaznávanie nikdy nepoznačili a zostávala vždy skromná, sa zrazu ocitne v novej situácií – žije vykázaná v podkroví a pracuje ako slúžka. Ani bieda, útlak, hlad či zlé zaobchádzanie ju však nezlomia a vďaka fantázii a priateľstvu odolá aj tým najťažším skúškam v živote dieťaťa. Pôvabný a dojímavý príbeh malej Sary vychádza v revidovanom slovenskom preklade Oľgy Kralovičovej.

Magický príbeh o odhodlaní a priateľstve, ktoré menia životy. Klasické dielo anglickej a svetovej literatúry pre dnešné deti ho prerozprávala Geraldine McCaughrean a ilustrovala Margarita Kukhtina. Keď Mary Lennoxová príde z Indie na pochmúrne panstvo Misselthwaite, je len rozmaznané a panovačné dieťa. Zároveň je to však aj veľmi osamelé dievča, ktoré práve osirelo a svet sa mu od základov zmenil. Jedného dňa však objaví zanedbanú záhradu, ktorú celú večnosť zahaľovalo rúško ťaživého tajomstva. S pomocou červienky, malého zvedavého vtáčika, získa Mary kľúč od dverí a vstúpi do neuveriteľného sveta, ktorý od okolitého panstva oddeľovali vysoké záhradné múry. Práve tam zistí, že priateľstvo dokáže robiť zázraky, rovnako ako čarovná záhrada. Pre čitateľov od 6 rokov Z anglického originálu preložila Eva Smikoň Samcová.
