Why is it that we destroy the things we love most? This is the question Paulo Coelho, the author of The Alchemist, faces in this story of his confrontation with his past. The Valkyries is a compelling account of his journey, as Paulo and his wife embark on a forty-day quest into the searing heat of the Mojave Desert, where they encounter the Valkyries, strange warrior women who travel the desert on motorcycles. This is not only a modern-day adventure, it is also an exploration of one man's battle with self-doubt and fear, as well as a true story of two people striving to understand one another through adversity. Ultimately, The Valkyries delivers a powerful message about forgiving our past and believing in our future.

Sumptuous historical novel set in the court of Elizabeth I, from Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Philippa Gregory, the author of The Other Boleyn Girl. Elizabeth I has acceded to the throne of England, a position she has waited and schemed for all her life. She is surrounded by advisers, all convinced that a young woman cannot form political judgements. Elizabeth feels that she can rely on just one man: her oldest friend, Robert Dudley. It is soon plain that he is more than merely a friend. In a house in the countryside waits a very different woman, Amy Robsart — Robert's wife. She has no taste for life at court and longs for the day when her husband will return home. She has loved him since she was a girl, but now they are adults she hardly sees him. Meanwhile, the pressure grows for Elizabeth to marry, for it is unthinkable that a queen should rule on her own. Elizabeth's preference is clear, but he is unavailable. But what if the unthinkable were to happen... Philippa Gregory blends passion, personalities and politics in this stunning novel of the Tudor court and a country divided.

One day a renowned author discovers that his wife, a war correspondent, has disappeared leaving no trace. Was she kidnapped, blackmailed, or simply bored with their marriage? His search for her — and for the truth of his own life — takes him from South America to Spain, France, Croatia and, eventually, the bleakly beautiful landscape of Central Asia. More than that, it leads him into a new understanding of the nature of love, the power of destiny and what it really means to follow your heart.

Using a range of delightful animal characters throughout the book to depict the familiar, everyday words, artist Chris Fisher adds an abundance of humour and charm that will have readers coming back time and time again. Each head word is incorporated into a simple sentence, to show word usage, and accompanied by an illustration. Key letters are shown very big, so children can copy or trace them with their fingers, and the full alphabet runs across the top of each spread, in capitals and lower case. The book opens with an introduction for adults, explaining how to get the most out of the dictionary, and closes with a range of fun spreads that explore simple concepts such as colour, shapes and numbers.
