Описание: "A gentle, joyous offering." --Booklist, starred review
"There was one little baby / who was born far away. / And another who was born / on the very next day. / And both of these babies, / as everyone knows, / had ten little fingers / and ten little toes." No matter which part of the world a baby comes from--born on the ice or in a tent--that baby has "ten little fingers / and ten little toes," the pleasing refrain of this rhyming tribute to the sweet universality of babies of all colors. Soft, rounded babies are captured in soft, rounded watercolors in this new Spanish-English bilingual board book edition

Описание: A Cotswolds village, a grieving heroine, two furry sidekicks . . . and a murder
When tragedy strikes Leta Parker's life, the successful banker and closet sleuth chases a lifelong dream to retire to England. Leaving her friends and neighbors in Atlanta, she settles into the village of Astonbury with her talkative dog and cat, Dickens and Christie.
Picture her driving a refurbished London taxi to the bookshop and the tearoom, enjoying walks with Dickens the dog, and sipping tea in the garden with Christie, her sassy cat.
Stumbling across the dead body of a friend awakens Leta's inner Nancy Drew, and before you know it, she's enlisted the help of Wendy, a retired English teacher friend-and even Wendy's elderly mum.
Two whipsmart retirees, one spunky senior citizen, and a feisty dog and cat are on the case
Who better to unearth clues from their friends in the village? Even Dickens and Christie get in on the act gathering intelligence from their four-legged friends and pointing out the obvious to Leta.
What do authors A.A. Milne, Arthur Conan Doyle, and J.M. Barrie have to do with all this?
Is their connection with the Cotswolds merely an interesting bit of trivia, or is it more? Will Leta and Wendy let their literary noses lead them astray?
You'll be captivated as this unlikely team chases clues and ferrets out a long-buried secret-a scenario that would make any BBC cozy mystery producer proud. No matter the clues uncovered by Detectives Dickens and Christie, you'll be hard-pressed to guess who the villain is unless, like Leta, you're able to "talk to the animals."

What readers are saying:
A perfect read for anglophiles, animal lovers, and mystery lovers...who love a good twist. The J.M. Barrie backstory is so intriguing
For fans of Murder She Wrote, Dr. Doolittle and the game Clue . . . weaves] book history into contemporary situations while adding a touch of whimsical what-ifs.
Lots of literary references and full-throated characters make for a wonderful story.
For anyone who loves a cozy mystery with more "meat" and very little fluff . . . Characters you would like for friends, cats and dogs that speak (don't they all?), and are well-spoken . . . the mystery . . . kept me guessing to the end. I'm off to read book 2, and then languish until book 3 comes out.
As a book fan from way back, ie a time when Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan were familiar parts of my nightly routine, it was intriguing to see . . . J. M. Barrie, in particular, an integral part of the plot.
The characters and the mystery are well written and fast-paced. As I own two Great Pyrenees and have had four previous Pyrs, this book was extra special to me.

Описание: The Liminal Worker examines the experience of work, employment, employment insecurity and precariousness in a context of high unemployment and welfare state crisis in modern Greece.

Short Description: Charmed for decades by the music of Oscar-winning Greek composer M nos Hadjid kis, David Cade explores Athens as news breaks at the end of 2009 that Greece is in serious financial difficulty. After years in the neighbouring Middle East, the author talks to Athenians, examines many of the city's extraordinary attractions, and surveys key aspects of Greece's modern history, its daily life, and its music.
Long Description: 'Athens - The Truth' gets to grips with the modern capital of Greece. Written in an easy and generally non-academic style it offers a widely researched feast of details to satisfy both the armchair traveller and the actual traveller alike, whether the latter be tourists, visitors, students, teachers, or business people. From a rational and secular point of view, the book provides both a thrilling account of what makes Athens tick and a vivid explanation of why Greece is as it is today. Searching for M nos and his music in and around many of the significant places of Athens, the author observes many of the qualities that infuse not only the music of Greece but also many of the behaviours, aspects, and forms of expression that are typical of Athens. The final chapters allow the reader both an appreciation of the Greek psyche and a clear account of the precarious point at which Greece now stands. A thirteen-page index assists the location of specific details.
