The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," "The Warlock's Hairy Heart," "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump," and of course, "The Tale of the Three Brothers." But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we now know and love, reading them gives new insight into the world of Harry Potter. Edition: 1st, DW VG Publisher: CHLG Binding: Hardcover

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 12 working days TV presenter, writer and adventurer Alice Morrison gives her own unique and personal insight into Morocco, her home for 1001 nights. When Alice Morrison headed out to Morocco, it was to take on one of the most daunting challenges: to run in the famous Marathon des Sables. Little did she expect to end up living there. But as soon as she settled in a flat in Marrakech, she was won over by the people, the spectacular scenery and the ancient alleyways of the souk. Soon she was hiking over the Atlas mountains, joining nomads to sample their timeless way of life as they crossed the Sahara desert, and finding peace in a tranquil oasis. Despite more than 10 million tourists coming to Morocco each year, there is remarkably little that has been written about its people, their customs and the extraordinary range of places to visit, from bustling markets to vast, empty deserts. Alice makes sure she samples it all, and as she does she provides a stunning portrait of a beautiful country. As a lone woman, she often attracts plenty of curiosity, but her willingness to participate - whether thigh deep in pigeon droppings in a tannery or helping out herding goats - ensures that she is welcomed everywhere by a people who are among the most hospitable on the planet. Alice came to fame with her BBC2 series Morocco to Timbuktu, and now she joins the ranks of great travel writers who can bring a country vividly to life and instantly transport the reader to a sunnier place. If you're thinking of going to Morocco, or you want to recall your time there, My 1001 Nights is the ideal book.

 Marq de Villiers, whose family has been in South Africa for more than 300 years, has travelled to every corner of Africa in search of ancient empires which cut across modern national and traditional boundaries: Great Zimbabwe, at its height before the end of the Crusades; the Land of the Zanj, which the Arabs traded with for centuries before Europe had ever heard of it; the kings of the Kongo, who so impressed the Portuguese in the late 15 century; the Ashanti kingdoms; the ancient kingdom of Benin; the great empires of the Sahel. In his travels, Marq flies in an old plane piloted by an arms smuggler, travels downriver on a barge through some of the least explored jungles in Africa, hires an armed-to-the-teeth four-wheeler driven by a mercenary, and sails in a dhow manned by 4 Swahili teenagers - all through a landscape inhabited by villians and heroes, rascals and saints, and ordinary people.  He tells their stories of what it is like to live in this 'place of prodigies, of great amazements'.  Amplifying and giving context to these tales are the legends, folktales and histories collected by his co-author, Sheila Hirtle. Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The cover has a minor crease at the corner.  Pen inscription on the first page.  399 pages.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days Ancient Greek, Roman and Etruscan civilizations come to life in this illustrated selection of 100 highlights from the famous collections of classical art of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. An introduction by curator Christine Kondoleon describes the geographic range, stylistic progression and technical development of art in the classical world, and a second essay briefly relates tales of conservation and the provenance of some of the featured objects. In the main body of the book, the highlighted artworks are grouped into five broad themes: Myth and Religion, Heroes and Warriors, Love and Loss, Daily Life and Beasts and Beauties. Celebrated mosaics, statues and vases share the stage with less familiar jewelry, coins and glassware, with each piece accompanied by a concise discussion of its artistic creation and cultural context. Both common themes and distinctions emerge in cross-cultural discussions of topics such as war and politics, commemoration of the dead, sports and entertainment and the human form, providing rich insight into the astonishing civilizations that produced and used these fascinating objects so many centuries ago.
