Perfect for fans of The White Lotus, Knives Out and anyone who's ever wanted to strangle someone over Christmas lunch. All Olivia wanted was one last miserable Christmas with her husband's awful family before moving to Australia. She didn't expect a murder.

NEW stunning hardback edition showcasing the original E.H.Shepard art with Milne's classic, timeless poetry for children. 'Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares! Christopher Robin is saying his prayers!' E.H.Shepard's original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for this 100th anniversary range so it truely pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied Milne's classic, favourite stories. In this famous collection of verse for children, we join Christopher Robin and his friends for a trip to Buckingham Palace, learn what a King likes for his breakfast and meet a much-loved bear for the very first time. Curl up with A.A.Milne's classic book of poetry for children, When We Were Very Young. This is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by Milne - as popular now as when they were first written. This special 100th anniversary hardback collection is a heart-warming and funny introduction to children's poetry, offering the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that we've come to expect from Milne's favourite books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain. This book is all the more special due to E.H.Shepard's decorations, which are shown in full, glorious colour. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as 'the man who drew Pooh'. 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 character 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. Do you own all the classic Pooh titles? Winnie-the-Pooh The House at Pooh Corner When We Were Very Young Now We Are Six Return to the Hundred Acre Wood The Best Bear in All the World Once There Was a Bear Tales from the Forest Winter in the Wood Some retro reviews of the original publication in the 1920s: "To children it is something more than a volume, it is a treasure trove - richer in value than Aladdin's Cave or any sunken Spanish galleon that ever carried gold from Peru. In literature it ranks with the highest and the greatest. It is a classic!", Northern Weekly Gazette, 18th September 1926 "Now, when Mr. A. A. Milne started the 'Christopher Robin' poems in 'Punch' he was starting something altogether bigger than he knew.", Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 9th December 1926 "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

A Times Best History Book of the Year; A Waterstones Best Book of the Year 'Reads like a thriller… I couldn't put Max Hastings's new book down' DAILY MAIL 'Hastings is a master of drama, a writer intimately familiar with the mind of the soldier' THE TIMES Operation Biting was one of the most thrilling British commando raids of World War II, and probably the most successful. In February 1942 RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly-identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed Würzburg. The brilliant scientist Dr RV Jones proposed an assault to capture key components. The nearest accessible enemy set stood upon a steep cliff at Bruneval in Normandy. Winston Churchill enthused, as did Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of Combined Operations. A company of the newly-formed Airborne Forces was committed to the operation, which took place on the night of 27/28 February. Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were misdropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time by landing-craft across stormy seas to Portsmouth. Max Hastings recounts this cliffhanging tale in a wealth of previously unchronicled detail. He portrays its remarkable personalities: the 'boffin' RV Jones; the peacock Mountbatten; the troubled husband of Daphne Du Maurier, Gen. 'Boy' Browning, who commanded the Airborne Division; 'Colonel Remy', the French secret agent whose men reconnoitered Bruneval at mortal risk; Major John Frost, who led the paras into action; Charlie Cox, the little RAF technician who stripped the Würzburg and became an unexpected hero; Wing-Commander Charles Pickard, a legendary bomber pilot who led the drop squadron. Seldom have so many fascinating personalities been brought together to fulfil a mission that became a front-page triumph in a season of British defeats. Recounted in Hastings' familiar best-selling blend of top-down and bottom-up action detail, Operation Biting tells a story that has become almost forgotten yet deserves to rank among the epic tales of courage and daring that took place in the greatest conflict in history.
