(This title is available on demand: expected date of dispatch will be 7-10 working days once ordered) Thsi is a wonderful collection of stories for teachers, trainers, parents and thinkers sharing ancient wisdom through a modern relationship between grandson and grandad. The recollections chart the growth of the child from teenager to adult under the guidance of his grandad. The grandad provides answers to the questions he is asked with stories, challenges, games and questions. Questions such as 'How can I be more popular?', 'What should I do when I leave school?', 'Why is Aunty Joan miserable all the time?' are answered partly through the grandads extensive contact with stars such as Bruce Forsyth, Allan Bennet and even Ant and Dec. These are warm, funny and inspiring stories to be read individually or as a whole story by adults or children. Format:Paperback Pages:256

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 6 - 13 working days The Swan Book is set in the future, with Aboriginals still living under the Intervention in the north, in an environment fundamentally altered by climate change. It follows the life of a mute teenager called Oblivia, the victim of gang-rape by petrol-sniffing youths, from the displaced community where she lives in a hulk, in a swamp filled with rusting boats, and thousands of black swans driven from other parts of the country, to her marriage to Warren Finch, the first Aboriginal president of Australia, and her elevation to the position of First Lady, confined to a tower in a flooded and lawless southern city. The Swan Book has all the qualities which made Wright's previous novel, Carpentaria, a prize-winning bestseller. It offers an intimate awareness of the realities facing Aboriginal people; the wild energy and humour in her writing finds hope in the bleakest situations; and the remarkable combination of storytelling elements, drawn from myth and legend and fairy tale, has Oblivia Ethylene in the company of amazing characters like Aunty Bella Donna of the Champions, the Harbour Master, Big Red and the Mechanic, a talking monkey called Rigoletto, three genies with doctorates, and throughout, the guiding presence of swans.
