<p><b>We've all grown up with stories of magical dragons and mythical winged creatures. This thoroughly entertaining collection of stories draws on such tales from all over the world; from ancient Greece and Egypt, to 14th century China to France, Estonia, Ireland, Wales and beyond.</b><br/><br/><i>Dragons, Wyverns and Serpents: Myths and Legends </i>is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.<br/><br/>Many tales relate stories of bravery and ingenuity against a seemingly indomitable and terrifying creature; there's George and the Dragon from England and the famous Norse Myth of Fafnir. Some (but not many!) creatures are benevolent, for example the sea serpent in the Egyptian Tale of the Shipwrecked Soldier.<br/><br/>Each retelling contributes to a fascinating and lively overview of how a myriad mythical creatures are represented through time and across the globe.</p>

<p><b>A spine-chilling anthology that celebrates the thrilling pleasure and rich literary legacy of horror writing.</b><br/><br/>From the sinister imagination of Edgar Allan Poe to the supernatural suspense of H. G. Wells, this collection of stories explores a range of eerie experiences; there are hauntings, monsters and plenty of often inexplicable and always terrifying dramas.<br/><br/>The classic masters of the genre are here; in Algernon Blackwood's deeply unnerving 'The Occupant in the Room' a hotel room hides a terrifying secret. In Guy de Maupassant's 'Vendetta', a mother is bent on terrible revenge and in 'The Treasure of Abbot Thomas' M. R. James turns a treasure hunt into a nightmare.<br/><br/><b>Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

Brightly Shining Bok
<p>Christmas is just around the corner, and Ronja and Melissa's dreamer of a father is once again out of work. When ten-year-old Ronja hears about a job selling Christmas trees, she thinks it might be the stroke of luck they all need. Soon, the fridge fills with food, and their father smells like pine needles instead of beer. But the local pub and his new girlfriend have an irresistible pull and he quickly abandons his responsibilities.<br/><br/>Melissa decides to take his place at the Christmas tree stand, working before and after school, and bringing Ronja with her, who charms the customers. On rare breaks in the dark of a Norwegian December they dream of a brighter place of kindness and plenty - and find there are some people in the world who might help them.<br/><br/>Small in stature but with an outsize impact on the reader, <i>Brightly Shining </i>has all the markings of a magical modern classic.</p>

<p><b>From 'one of our most thrilling and singular innovators on the page' (Laura Van Den Berg), a tightly wound, consuming tale about a 1950s American housewife, for fans of Jennifer Egan, Jonathan Franzen and Taffy Brodesser-Akner </b><br/><br/>A warm Sunday in November 1957. As Sputnik 2 orbits the earth, carrying Laika, the doomed Soviet dog, a couple begin their day.<br/><br/>Virgil Beckett, an insurance salesman, isn't particularly happy in his job but he fulfils the role, playing golf with the partners, drinking in the bar, chasing the women. Kathleen Beckett, once a promising tennis champion, with a key shot up her sleeve called 'The Most', is now a mother and homemaker.<br/><br/>Somehow these two, who have been together since college, have fallen into the roles expected of them - the prescribed suburban dream they have been sold as something to covet, something that will fulfil their lives. But on this unseasonably warm, early November Sunday, Kathleen wakes up and decides that she will not be accompanying her family to church.<br/><br/>No, she feels like a swim.<br/><br/>She unearths her old, red bathing suit and descends into the apartment complex pool no other resident uses. And she doesn't want to come out...<br/><br/>___<br/><br/><b>Praise for Jessica Anthony's ENTER THE AARDVARK</b><br/><br/>'A truly fresh piece of art' Percival Everett<br/><br/>'Fresh, witty, smart' Kate Atkinson<br/><br/>'Highly inventive' Joshua Ferris<br/><br/>'A writer possessed of mind-bending talents' Heidi Julavits</p>
