Delphi Complete Works of Parthenius (Illustrated)
The tutor of the epic poet Virgil, Parthenius of Nicaea was a Greek grammarian and poet that flourished in the first century AD. Regarded as the last of the Alexandrians, Parthenius was a writer of elegies and short epic poems. His sole surviving work, ‘Love Romances’, is a collection of thirty-six epitomes of mythological love stories, all of which have tragic or sentimental endings. The tales are valuable in providing information on Alexandrian poets and grammarians whose works are now lost. The ‘Love Romances’ would play an important part in the development of the love story – especially the tragic love story – in the course of Western literature. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Parthenius’ complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

The Liars Dictionary
Swansby's New Encyclopaedic Dictionary is riddled with fictitious entries known as mountweazels penned by Peter Winceworth, a man wishing to make his lasting mark back in 1899. It's up to young intern Mallory to uncover these mountweazels before the dictionary can be digitised for modern readers.
Lost in Winceworth's imagination - a world full of meaningless words - will Mallory finally discover the secret to living a meaningful life?
'Deft and clever, refreshing and rewarding ... An assured and satisfying writer, her language rich and intricate and her characters rounded enough to be sympathetic and lampoonist enough to be terribly funny.' LITERARY REVIEW
'[The] most exciting of young British writers ... Williams luxuriates in words and wordplay, in definition and precision and invention ...The Liar's Dictionary is a public joy, and Eley Williams a free-spirited literary kook with bags of potential.' BIG ISSUE
'A singular, hilarious, word-drunk novel, which I suspect will be seen in the future as a classic comic novel.' DAVID HAYDEN, IRISH TIMES

Treasure Island (Illustrated)
An old sailor named Billy Bones comes to lodge in the rural Admiral Benbow Inn on the West English coast. A former shipmate, Black Dog, confronts Bones and engages in a violent fight with him. After Black Dog is run off, a blind beggar named Pew visits to give Bones "the black spot" as a summons to share a map leading to buried treasure. Shortly thereafter, Bones suffers a stroke and dies. Pew and his accomplices attack the inn, but Jim and his mother save themselves while taking Bones's sea chest. Inside the chest, they find a map of an island on which the infamous pirate Captain Flint hid his treasure. Jim shows the map to the local physician Dr. Livesey and the district squire John Trelawney, and they decide to make an expedition to the island, with Jim serving as a cabin boy. They set sail on Trelawney's schooner, the Hispaniola, under Captain Smollett. Much of the crew, as it is later revealed, are pirates who served under Captain Flint, most notable of which is the ship's one-legged chef "Long John" Silver.

Die Schatzinsel (Illustrated)
Im ländlichen englischen Gasthaus „Admiral Benbow“ in der Nähe von Bristol quartiert sich ein alter Seemann ein, William „Bill“ Bones. Jim Hawkins, der Ich-Erzähler des Romans und Sohn des Gastwirtspaares, hält für den trunksüchtigen Bones Ausschau nach einem Einbeinigen, den dieser offenbar fürchtet. Als Bones eines Nachts von einem Seemann, Der Schwarze Hund genannt, aufgesucht wird, kommt es zu einem fürchterlichen Streit zwischen den beiden. Nachdem der Schwarze Hund geflohen ist, erscheint der blinde Bettler Pew bei Bones und überreicht ihm ein Papier mit einem „schwarzen Fleck“, der seine Absetzung bedeutet. Kurz darauf bricht Bones nach einem Schlaganfall tot zusammen. Noch in derselben Nacht überfällt Pew mit seinen Spießgesellen das Gasthaus. Jim kann sich mit seiner Mutter im letzten Moment retten, nicht ohne zuvor heimlich ein Päckchen aus der Seemannskiste von Bones an sich genommen zu haben. Darin befindet sich die Karte einer Insel, auf der sich der Schatz des berüchtigten Piraten Captain Flint befinden soll. Jim Hawkins zeigt die Karte seinem väterlichen Freund, dem Arzt Doktor Livesey, und dem Gutsherrn und Friedensrichter John Trelawney, die daraufhin beschließen, eine Expedition zu jener Insel zu unternehmen. Jim soll als Schiffsjunge ebenfalls mitreisen. Als Expeditionsschiff dient die Hispaniola unter Kapitän Smollett. Später stellt sich heraus, dass man, ohne es zu ahnen, auch einige Mitglieder von Captain Flints ehemaliger Piraten-Crew mit angeheuert hat, allen voran den einbeinigen Schiffskoch Long John Silver.

Oxford Dictionary of Slang (Oxford Paperback Reference)
Our longstanding love affair with the undignified bits of our language - the unguarded vocabulary of conversation, the quirky slang of in-groups, the colourful outbursts of lexis in extremis - has assured us a continuing tradition of collecting such words together in dictionaries. Rather than using the alphabetical format favoured by most of these, however, the Oxford Dictionary of Slang takes in turn each area of life and each aspect of the world that generates significant amounts of slang, and builds up a picture of how our off-guard speech has changed down the years. There is also a full alphabetical index. Containing over 10,000 words and phrases, this is the ideal reference for those interested in the more quirky and unofficial words used in the English language. Including surprisingly old words such as booze and guzzle to the most up-to-date words like humongous and lunchbox, this fascinating book is sure to provide a stonking good read for all.
