The Moonsingers
In a quiet glen beyond the reach of the railway lives a peculiar family who knows the best magic is the kind found in ordinary moments.
When Ismay Gebhardt is dismissed from yet another teaching post after an unfortunate accident (which everyone survived!), she accepts a last-chance job as a private tutor in sleepy Glenmaidens village. The town is brimming with natural beauty, uncanny traditions, and earnest locals, none more unusual than her three young pupils-the Underhill sisters-and their puzzling father.
Determined to make herself useful after several catastrophic lessons with the unbiddable girls, Ismay writes to the transport bureau suggesting an extension to the train line, hoping to bring Glenmaidens into modernity. As usual, Ismay's good intentions lead to chaos with the arrival of the bureau's frustratingly thorough officer, Hamish Breck, whose railway plans threaten not only the glen's tranquility, but also the ancient oak tree at its heart. Amidst a mess of her own making, Ismay unearths Glenmaidens' enchanted secret: the Underhills, like many villagers, are fairies who settled in the mortal world in search of a gentler life, and the oak is their only bridge back to the moonlit realm of the fantastic.
As summer heat rises, Ismay schemes with her magical neighbors to prevent the extension, each day finding herself more entangled with the charming, persistent bureaucrat. With her newfound family, the way between worlds, and her heart all at risk, Ismay must decide how much she would bargain to finally embrace the wonder and belonging she's always wished for.
Witch Season - Broken Coven 1
Perfect for fans of Juno Dawson, Leigh Bardugo and Buffy, Witch Season is a grounded enemies-to-lovers urban fantasy that explores a world of competing covens, malevolent mentors, and the horror and power of stolen magic.
Katherine Barnes was an unsettled witch - a witch born to non-magical parents and saddled with a power she couldn't explain, let alone control.
Following a tragic accident that sent her running away from home at sixteen, the only reason Katherine survived was Sylvia Page, the leader of Los Angeles' Aestas Coven and a former unsettled witch herself, who scooped Katherine up and taught her how to harness the storm inside. Together, over the past thirteen years, Katherine and Sylvia turned Aestas into a halfway house for unsettled witches, creating the home neither of them got to have.
Enter Silas Khatri, the heir to the most influential coven in the country who has a mandate from his parents to bring the rogue Aestas Coven to heel.
Desperate to muscle Silas out of her territory, Sylvia makes an impulsive decision that gives her untold power - but at the cost of an unsettled teenager's life. Unaware of her mentor's betrayal, Katherine launches an investigation into the young witch's death.
As she unravels secrets that go back further than she ever knew, Katherine finds an unlikely ally in the man she thought she hated and an unexpected enemy in the woman who saved her future. With Silas' real motives and the depths of Sylvia's treachery all coming to light, Katherine has to decide what's more important - the family she's worked so hard to build, or the truth.
Winnie the Pooh Classic Collection: 4 Book Box Set
NEW stunning collection showcasing the original E.H.Shepard art with A.A.Milne’s timeless stories.
“Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders.”
Celebrate 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh in 2026!
E.H.Shepard’s original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for this 100th anniversary collection so it truly pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied Milne’s classic, favourite stories.
A.A.Milne's stories about Pooh and his friends have been loved by generations of children and their parents since Winnie-the-Pooh was first published 100 years ago in 1926. This beautiful slipcase features the four classic Winnie-the-Pooh titles in paperback: Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. Each volume features the original E.H.Shepard decorations in full colour.
Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time, in that they closely collaborated on the design of the storybooks and poetry. This joint approach to laying out the words and illustrations was clearly the perfect partnership; Shepard entirely captured the charm of Pooh’s world, created by Milne, resulting in the gorgeous books we all know and love.
The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for nearly 100 years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.
Pooh ranks alongside other beloved characters such as Paddington Bear and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.
Some retro reviews of the original publication in the 1920s:
“‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ … in which Mr. A. A. Milne has made himself the humble chronicler, and Mr. E. H. Shepard the understanding illustrator, of the adventures of Christopher Robin and his teddy bear, is the ideal gift book.”, Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 9th December 1926
“… a book that children will adore, and that their elders will pick up by stealth and read zestfully to the very end.”, The Aberdeen Press and Journal, 9th December 1926
“Written with a lively fancy and a delicate literary sense, these adventures are sure of a warm welcome in the nursery.”, The Scotsman, 9th December 1926
“Dialogue and situations such as these must have been as delightful to invent as they are delightful to read. And to have one’s fancies so delicately caught by the artistry of Mr. E. H. Shepard – that must have been another delight, which does not come to every author.”, The Sketch, 12th January 1927
“When Mr. Milne began four years ago to write verses for his small son, and, through ‘Punch’, had the good fortune to have them illustrated by Mr. E. H. Shepard, he little realised that within a few months five continents would be clamouring for the adventures of ‘Christopher Robin’ and his pets.”, Sunday Express, 21st October 1928
Barchester Towers
''Mr Slope flattered himself that he could out-manoeuvre the lady...he did not doubt of ultimate triumph.''Barchester Towers (1857) was the book that made Trollope''s reputation and it remains his most popular and enjoyable novel. The arrival of a new bishop in Barchester, accompanied by his formidable wife and ambitious chaplain, Obadiah Slope, sets the town in turmoil as Archdeacon Grantly declares ''War, war, internecine war!'' on Bishop Proudie and his supporters. Who will come out on top in the battle between the archdeacon, the bishop, Mr Slope, and Mrs Proudi? he livelihood of Mr Harding, the saintly hero of The Warden, is once more under threat but clerical warfare finds itself tangled up in the wayward (and sometimes perverse) desires of the many courtships, seductions, and romances of the book. Who will marry Eleanor Bold? Can any man resist the charms of the exotically beautiful ''La Signora Madeline Vesey Neroni''? Will the oily Mr Slope finally get his comeuppance? Trollope''s matchless handling of plot and character displays a skill whose distinctive literary qualities are celebrated in this new edition.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

City v nádobách
Tři příběhy. Tři nádoby. Tři city, které se nedají udržet.
City v nádobách jsou prózou o tom, co zůstane na dně, když se vyp?e vše ostatní. Bedřich hledá inspiraci ve sklenici piva a nachází jen paradox – miluje příliš na to, aby mohl psát, a píše příliš na to, aby mohl milovat. Pavlína pluje za archeologickým objevem na zapomenutý řecký ostrov a místo starověkého pokladu narazí na vlastní touhu, kterou nedokáže ani pojmenovat, ani zadržet.
A Bedřichův dopis Pavlíně – psaný s přesýpacími hodinami na stole – je vyznáním, které ví, že přichází příliš brzy, a přesto musí být napsáno.
Ondřej Chlubna propojuje tři hlasy, tři časové roviny a jeden společný motiv: city, které se nedají vylít, protože jsou až na samém dně – a právě tam jsou nejsilnější

The Heretic of Cacheu
'A stunning global history of West Africa ... with this new tour de force, Green confirms himself as the most innovative historian, writer, and thinker of his generation' Ana Lucia Araujo, author of Humans in Shackles: An Atlantic History of Slavery
A unique, startling book that gives a rich and detailed sense of life in an African port some 360 years ago
In 1665 Crispina Peres, the most powerful trader in the West African slave trafficking port of Cacheu, was arrested by the Inquisition. Her enemies had conspired to denounce her for taking treatments prescribed by Senegambian healers: the djabakós. But who was Peres? And why was the Portuguese Inquisition so concerned with policing the faith of a West African woman in today's Guinea-Bissau?
In Cacheu Toby Green takes us to the heart of this conundrum, but also into the atmosphere of a very distant time and place. We learn how people in seventeenth-century Cacheu built their houses, what they wore, how they worshipped - and also the work they did, how they had fun, and how they healed themselves from illness.
Through this story, the haunting realities of the growing slave trade and the rise of European empires emerge in shocking detail. By the 1650s, the relationship between Europe, West Africa, and the Americas was already an old one, with slaving entrepots, colonies, and military bases interweaving over many generations. But Cacheu also challenged the dynamic. It was globally connected to places ranging from China and India to Brazil and Colombia, and women like Crispina Peres ran the town and challenged the patriarchy of empire.
For the first time, through the surviving documents recording Peres's case, we can see what this world was really like. Cacheu is an extraordinary act of historical recovery. It is the story of a seventeenth-century West African woman, but also of the shifting, sophisticated world in which she lived - its beliefs, values and people.
