To Die or Not to Die?
In the footsteps of Doomed to Die: An A-Z of Deaths in Tolkien, and inspired by the works of Edmund Gorey, this insightful parody breathes life into Shakespeare with an illustrated ABC of the Bard's more gruesome deaths. ‘Woe, destruction, ruin, and decay; The worst is death, and death will have his day.’ RICHARD II Universally regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare was nevertheless responsible for more violent murders than any other playwright. Bringing true crime drama to Elizabethan audiences, death had dominion not only in Shakespeare’s histories and tragedies, but in his comedies too. From Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet to King Lear and the Scottish play, Shakespeare killed his characters both on and off stage in bloody tales of treachery, murder, combat and retribution. Now To Die or Not To Die brings his plays to life by revealing the very best of these deaths. Tom Racine’s unexpected journey from illustrator to published author began with Doomed to Die, an affectionate parody a la Edward Gorey of the dark side of J.R.R. Tolkien. A life-long admirer of the Bard, it was perhaps inevitable that Tom’s next collection would confirm him as a man of infinite jest…

Driven
A Sunday Times bestselling inside look at the ultra-competitive world of Formula One and trailblazer Susie Wolff's 20-year career, taking readers from the driver's seat and the F1 paddock all the way to the future of the sport.
From the moment her parents first sat her in a go-kart, Susie Wolff felt it - the thrill of speed, the spark of something bigger. Her dream of one day racing Formula One cars grew and grew, as did her determination. But Formula One is one of the most mentally and physically gruelling sports in the world. Turning a corner can feel like four times your body weight is pressing against you. You need mental grit and physical heft. And as Susie rose through the ranks of motorsport, one truth became impossible to ignore: she was almost always the only woman on the grid.
Despite challenges, and after years of sacrifice and doubt, Susie became the first woman in more than two decades to take part in a Formula One race weekend. When her racing chapter ended, she realised she wasn't ready to walk away from the sport she loved. And so she turned her mind to first transforming a struggling Formula E team and, later, leading F1 Academy, inspiring young women who have discovered the thrill of speed via Netflix's Drive to Survive, to progress to the highest ranks of Formula 1.
In Driven, Susie lifts the bonnet for the first time on her extraordinary life, including her relationship with her husband Toto. From the driver's seat of the racing car to the heart of the F1 paddock, this is a rare, first-hand view into the inner workings of motorsport at its highest level, told with clarity and grace.
