Описание: 'A great shout of life and individuality ... an act of defiance that gladdens the soul' Guardian Lolly Willowes, so gentle and accommodating, has depths no one suspects. When she suddenly announces that she is leaving London and moving, alone, to the depths of the countryside, her overbearing relatives are horrified.
But Lolly has a greater, far darker calling than family: witchcraft. 'The book I'll be pressing into people's hands forever . .
. It tells the story of a woman who rejects the life that society has fixed for her in favour of freedom ... tips suddenly into extraordinary, lucid wildness' Helen Macdonald'Witty, eerie, tender ...
her prose, in its simple, abrupt evocations, has something preternatural about it' John Updike
Born from a hobby of sewing clothes for her daughters, Brandi Temple's Lolly Wolly Doodle has grown into one of the largest online retailers of children's and family clothing. Brandi's transition from a full-time mom to selling in flea markets to establishing a wildly successful e-Bay store and Facebook presence to becoming founder and CEO of a successful company was by no means easy, but each hardship only strengthened her resolve. Along the way, Brandi has kept both her faith and family at the forefront, while maintaining the positive attitude she is best known for.
A business story layered onto a winning personal narrative, Scrappy is packed with her homespun (and seriously killer smart) philosophy: - Use all the scraps - Press the reset button as many times as you want - Know your customer by meeting her - Always act on an "ah ha" moment

Описание:
A headstrong monster has an unforgettable birthday in Lolly Anderson Thomas's whimsical fantasy chapter book, Tiggle Trouble: A Monster's Birthday Adventure.
When monster Muckabee gets birthday tiggles from his grandmonsters, he immediately stomps to the Swapping Center with cranky badger Snit to spend them all.
On the way, Muckabee experiences the lure of popularity from disgusting Snarley Yukk and wildly furred Thwartnose. Next, he barely escapes the temptations of sneaky sales-monster Miff who gives Muckabee a wild ride in more ways than one. Or is it the other way around? At last, Muckabee spends all he has to get things to make him uglier and scarier-and some sweet treats too-but immediately loses everything in a terrible storm. He now has nothing.
An unexpected encounter with Mrs. Noosharoo and her talking parrot gives him hope. Muckabee tries three schemes to get back what he has lost. Instead, he becomes the laughingstock of the forest.
When Muckabee finally resigns himself to let his day unfold without expectations, he comes across monsters in the forest who all need his help. What happens next is astonishing, and Muckabee's birthday ends in a completely surprising way.

Описание: The plays of the late Nobel laureate Harold Pinter have formed part of the canon of world theatre since the 1960s. Frequently revived on the professional stage, and studied on almost every Theatre Studies course, his importance and influence is hard to overestimate. This Critical Companion offers an assessment of Pinter's entire body of work for the stage, appraising his skill as a dramatist and considering his impact and legacy. Through a clear focus on issues of theatricality and the effect of the plays in performance The Theatre of Harold Pinter considers Pinter's chief narrative concerns and offers a unifying theme through which over four decades of work may be understood. Plays are considered in themed chapters that follow the chronological sequence of work, illuminating the development of his aesthetic and concerns. The volume features too a series of essays from other leading scholars presenting different critical perspectives on the work, including Harry Burton on Pinter's early drama; Ann Hall on Revisiting Pinter's Women; Chris Megson on Pinter's Memory Plays of the 1970s, and Basil Chiasson on Neoliberalism and Democracy.
