But when his game goes wrong, and he ends up feeling even worse than he already did, there’s only one person who knows exactly how to cheer him up. Can you guess who that is? Writing from his own fraternal experience, as well as being a dad to two lively boys, Ben Mantle has written a heartfelt, funny and completely relatable picture book that will give children the confidence to try and sort out their own differences with their siblings.

The Man With Many Names
£20.00A man and a woman, who have only known each other for a few hours and must soon part, sit in an airport café and invent an entire shared life together. A girl born with two different eyes – one seeing only the past and the other only the future – strives for the unattainable now. Late at night a father conspiratorially hangs laundry between two cherry trees in a tiny Bulgarian town in the 1970s and sets off a series of events that will turn absurdly historic. A woman on a train passing through the poppy-filled Central European countryside waves at everyone she passes, unaware that a single gesture can ripple through another’s life like fate. A lonely drifter on a snowy New Year’s Eve sees himself mirrored in a shop window TV, every move presumably watched by unseen millions and a world that had forgotten him. Here is a collection of Gospodinov’s finest short stories.

Us
£12.99When Delia Smith first began writing, the industrial revolution, two world wars, food rationing and the removal of cookery lessons from schools interrupted those skills being handed down through generations. Her goal then was to help reinstate the basics of cooking and to remove people’s fear. The response was huge change. Her work was so influential that she had her own entry in the dictionary – ‘doing a Delia’. In this book Delia shares with us what she has learned from a long and eventful life, from navigating London as a teenager to watching pasta being made by the Mediterranean sea. She reflects on what it means to be a human person, how goodness and kindness are eclipsed by oppression and confusion and that true politics can only come from the people. Short, moving and powerful, these nine essays will change the way you think about our future.
