When Hitler invaded Poland, little did he realise that, not only was he taking on the allies, but also a group of Boy Scouts from Streetly, known as the 'Yellow Six'. Their hilarious attempts to assist the war effort are chronicled by their modestly named L*E*A*D*E*R. Whether helping with the construction of air raid shelters or collecting silver paper, the "Six" leave a trail of havoc behind them whilst their "tracking" adventures in Sutton Park cause consternation to American GI's canoodling with local girls. First published by Penguin Books, this new edition should attract yet more readers to the author's work. James Clarke, now resident in South Africa, has built up an international reputation both as a journalist and for his humorous writings. The book is complete with some wonderful illustrations by his talented daughter, Julie Clarke.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 8 - 15 working days What is assembled here might look like a modern 'Cabinet of Curiosities', an assemblage of the exotic and curious from the four quarters of the world. There is an intention behind it, however, that goes beyond presenting a wide variety of curiosities. We are today linked up to all those four quarters, and while a huge amount of information is available to us, unlike to those who awaited the ships in the ports of Amsterdam, Genoa, Lisbon, London, Marseille, Seville or Venice, the horizon of what interests us seems to have shrunk. The art market is an interesting barometer of this shrinkage. The point is, therefore, that we can connect with the whole world on a much more profound level than can be gained from package touring, through the possession of, and study of even the most modest objects of different cultures. The purpose of collecting, as Moliere might have put it, should not be limited to becoming rich through the investment in one's purchases, but to become enriched through the possession of what one has acquired.Highlights include: the silver libation cup of Mo ngke Khan, grandson of Genghis and ruler of an empire that stretched from modern Bucharest to Peking, and Karachi to Novgorod; the apple from the Garden of Eden - a silver pomander belonging to the Stuart Kings, with bite marks, opening to reveal a silver skull; a Scythian (6-7th centuries BC) jade pendant of the endangered Saiga antelope, as nely carved as anything by Faberge; a bronze Bacchus head from a tripod table belonging to the Emperor Augustus; a limestone bear carved in 3rd millenium BC Bactria.

Plucked by Thor and his companions from the deepest roots of Yggdrasil - the World Tree, split in twain - the cosmic seed is now the most coveted object in Odin's possession. But the Silver Surfer - herald of Galactus, devourer of worlds - recognizes the Worldheart as the one object that could forever sate his master's apocalyptic appetite. Now, the Surfer has come to Asgard to claim a prize Odin will not surrender without a fight - and Thor is caught in the middle. Will he entrust the Worldheart to the Surfer for the betterment of the universe, or choose instead to fight to the death for the glory of Odin? Collecting MIGHTY THOR #1-6.

The fates of a million souls are in the hands of the Silver Surfer and Groot - but what mysterious prize do they both seek?
