When Ludwig Bemelmans encounters the dashing yet penniless Comte de St. Cucuface aboard a Paris train, he is swept into a deliciously absurd adventure across postwar France. Under the Count’s gleeful tutelage, Bemelmans adopts the persona of a German prince, mastering the art of hoodwinking strangers with immaculate manners and effortless charm. Together, the unlikely duo embark on a run of outlandish escapades, living extravagantly on nothing at all. They dine in grand hotels, befriend millionaires, outwit restaurateurs and regale nouveau-riche Americans with fantastical tales of their aristocratic pasts. First published in 1952, this autobiographical travelogue from the beloved creator of Madeline brims with quick wit and whimsical illustrations. Bemelmans captures a France poised between eras, where fading old-world elegance mingles with the glitter of the new.

And now Coast Guard veterinarian Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, must try to survive the end of the world – or just get to the next level – in a video game-like, trap-filled, fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality TV show with countless viewers across the galaxy. So not only do they have to stay alive, but they also need to earn ratings based on their performance.

I am fourteen years old and I’m called Mackenzie Bly. It’s a good name, isn’t it? Unfortunately, I just made it up, I’m actually called Philip Stephens which, if there was ever a competition for the world’s most boring name, would be a clear winner. ‘We didn’t want to call you something that would mean you’d get teased’ is what Mum B says. But given that I’m the size of a vending machine, hate sport, live with my Mums, one of whom teaches biology at my school, and don’t live with my Dad who plays air guitar, has ginger plaits down to his waist and writes random notes on Rizlas instead of using a diary, they might as well have called me ‘Fattus Butticus’ for all the difference it would have made. Oh, and my best friend Sy has just moved to New Zealand. Life is terrible.

Rhys Kinnick has gone off the grid. At Thanksgiving a few years back, a fed-up Rhys punched his conspiracy-theorist son-in-law in the mouth, chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, with no one around except a pack of hungry raccoons. Now Kinnick’s old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep. Can this failed husband and father, a man with no internet and a car that barely runs, re-emerge into a broken world to track down his missing daughter and save his sweet, precocious grandchildren from the members of a dangerous militia?

Miles Krzelewski is a devoted husband, a doting father beloved for his outlandish bedtime stories, and the proud owner of a truffle-hunting dog in a land with no truffles. He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales, and increasingly haunted by a sense that he’s become a disappointment to his family. So when his wife Kate accepts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the far away forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be his year to finally move forward with his life. But Miles is a man of many enthusiasms, who possesses, in Kate’s words, ‘a great capacity to fall in with anyone, anywhere.’ And no sooner does he arrive than he finds himself entangled with a cast of characters as colourful as any of his folktales, from a ghostly tree surgeon to a scythe-mad biochemist, the world’s delusions in a ‘Inventory of Wrong Ideas’.
Saints and sinners, emperors and embezzlers, barmaids and balalaikas all play their part in the bawdy reminiscences of Hrabal’s cobbler as he charms an audience of young beauties with his tale.

Trying to act normal when her heart is smashed into a million pieces. Ten times smarter than the people she’s working for. Priced out of the housing market in the place she grew up. Stuck in a situationship when all she wants is the love of her life back. Bigger. Not better. Older. Not wiser. Queenie Jenkins is working on it.
Her name is Meryem, but you’d be surprised at how difficult people find that to spell. Meryem is twenty-five years old and has just started working at the offices of Supersaurio – the most important supermarket chain in the Canary Islands. Watched over by the chain’s benevolent blue dinosaur logo, Meryem contends with co-workers who don’t mean to sound sexist, but aren’t women just harder work than men?, a boss who seems determined to make Meryem’s life as miserable as possible, and Omar – smart, funny, very-senior-but-nevertheless-seems-like-a-normal-person Omar, who also happens to be devastatingly handsome. We follow Meryem as she makes the transition from intern, to temp, to arrive finally at the promised land of fixed employment – only to find that she might have left part of her soul behind.
