The Secret Garden V and A Collectors Edition
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a magical novel for adults and children alike. This new hardback is one of five special Puffin Classics editions created in partnership with the world-famous V&A Museum, with exquisite cover designs from their William Morris collection. 'I've stolen a garden,' she said very fast. 'It isn't mine. It isn't anybody's. Nobody wants it, nobody cares for it, nobody ever goes into it. Perhaps everything is dead in it already; I don't know.' After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle's gloomy mansion on the wild English moors. She is lonely and has no one to play with, but one day she learns of a secret garden somewhere in the grounds that no one is allowed to enter. Then Mary uncovers an old key in a flowerbed - and a gust of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly she turns the key and enters a world she could never have imagined.
The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land
A divorced con-artist and his young daughter sell empty bottles of 'holy' air to credulous tourists.
In a bombed-out Beirut radio station, a Lebanese Scheherazade enchants three young soldiers with her nightly tales.
Ahead of a school 'Show and Tell', two brothers kidnap a Shoah survivor from a supermarket to pose as their grandfather.
An Israeli volunteer at a West Bank checkpoint mourns the death of her son, a soldier killed in Gaza.
From the limestone alleyways of Jerusalem to the desolate Negev Desert and the sprawling orange groves of Jaffa, Omer Friedlander's stories are fairy tales turned on their head by the stakes of real life, where moments of fragile intimacy mix with comedy and notes of the absurd.
Casting his eye, not on the region's conflicts, but on the hopes and failures of its people, The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land is at times darkly funny, at others quietly devastating.

The Moth and the Mountain
The untold story of Britain's most mysterious mountaineering legend - Maurice Wilson - and his heroic attempt to climb Everest. Alone.
In the 1930s, as official government expeditions set their sights on conquering Everest, a little-known World War I veteran named Maurice Wilson conceived his own crazy, beautiful plan: he would fly a Gipsy Moth aeroplane from England to Everest, crash land on its lower slopes, then become the first person to reach its summit - all utterly alone. Wilson didn't know how to climb. He barely knew how to fly. But he had pluck, daring and a vision - he wanted to be the first man to stand on top of the world.
Maurice Wilson is a man written out of the history books - dismissed as an eccentric and a charlatan by many, but held in the highest regard by world class mountaineers such as Reinhold Messner. The Moth and the Mountain restores him to his rightful place in the annals of Everest and in doing so attempts to answer that perennial question - why do we climb mountains?

The Beatles
Tato kniha je zcela nové ilustrované vydání nejprodávanější autorizované biografie The Beatles doplněné o nejnovější informace. Více než třicet let po prvním vydání a přes miliony slov, která byla od té doby o The Beatles publikována, je tato podrobná kniha Huntera Daviese stále jedinou autorizovanou biografií nejlegendárnější a nejvlivnější popové skupiny. Hunter Davies jako první a poslední spisovatel, který měl neomezený přístup ke všem čtyřem členům legendárních Beatles a jemuž se od nich dostalo plné podpory a pomoci, s nimi v letech 1967–68 strávil osmnáct měsíců, když byli jako skupina hudebně na vrcholu, a sbíral materiál, který dle Marshalla McLuhana vytvoří "dokument našeho století".
Autor strávil čas jak s The Beatles, tak dělal rozhovory s mnoha jejich blízkými přáteli a kamarády, kolegy, bývalými členy kapely, manželkami a bývalými manželkami. Jeho fascinující kniha zachycuje skupinu na vrcholu úspěchu, a to, jak se dostala do popředí veřejného zájmu, vysvětluje autentickými slovy jednotlivých členů skupiny či slovy těch, kteří s nimi tenkrát tento fenomenální úspěch prožívali.
Hunter Davies zůstal přítelem The Beatles i poté, co původní kniha vyšla, což mu umožnilo, aby knihu doplnil o rozsáhlou závěrečnou kapitolu, popisující, jak a proč se skupina rozpadla, zároveň tak mohl popsat nejnovější osudy a vývoj jejích členů a smrt Johna Lennona. Také odhaluje, jak byla tato kniha sepsaná a uvádí příběhy, které v prvním vydání uvést nemohl.Toto nové vydání Daviesova nepopiratelně celosvětového bestselleru je poprvé v hojné míře ilustrované a obsahuje dodatečně přidané fotografie, které nemohly být publikovány v roce 1968.
V revidovaném úvodu autor pohlíží na skutečnost, jak The Beatles a jejich hudba nadále ovlivňují miliony lidí na celém světě, říká nám, co stále žijící členové kapely dělali v letech po posledním vydání této práce, a zachycuje i smrt George Harrisona. Toto je zcela nepostradatelné čtení pro všechny fanoušky The Beatles, pro ty starší – i pro ty nové.

The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974: Volume 12
The 12th volume of Peanuts features a number of tennis strips and several extended sequences involving Peppermint Patty's friend Marcie (including a riotous, rarely seen sequence in which Marcie's costume-making and hairstyling skills utterly spoil a skating competition for PP), so it seems only right that this volume's introduction should be served up by Schulz's longtime friend, tennis champion (and 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient) Billie Jean King.
This volume also picks up on a few loose threads from the previous year, as the mysterious "Poochie" shows up in the flesh; Linus and Lucy's new kid brother "Rerun" makes his first appearance, is almost immediately drafted onto the baseball team (where, thanks to his tiny strike zone, he wins a game), and embarks on his first terrifying journey on the back of his mom's bike; and, in one of Peanuts' oddest recurring storylines, the schoolhouse Sally used to talk to starts talking, or at least thinking, back at her!
The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974 also includes one of the all-time classic Peanuts sequences, in which Charlie Brown's baseball-oriented hallucinations finally manifest themselves in a baseball-shaped rash on his head. Forced to conceal the embarrassing discoloration with a bag worn over his head, Charlie Brown goes to camp as "Mister Sack" and discovers that, shorn of his identity, he's suddenly well liked and successful.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
"This special edition of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPre. "Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley -- a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry -- and anyone who reads about him -- will find unforgettable. For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.
