<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.

Rosarita Bok
<p>A young student sits on a bench in a park in San Miguel, Mexico. Bonita is away from her home in India to learn Spanish. She is alone, somewhere she has no connection to. It is bliss.<br/><br/>And then a woman approaches her. The woman claims to recognize Bonita because she is the spitting image of her mother, who made the same journey from India to Mexico as a young artist. No, says Bonita, my mother didn't paint. She never travelled to Mexico. But this strange woman insists, and so Bonita follows her. Into a story where Bonita and her mother will move apart and come together, and where the past threatens to flood the present, or re-write it.<br/><br/>From three times Booker-shortlisted author Anita Desai, <i>Rosarita </i>is a beautiful, haunting novel that explores memory, grief, and the dark tug of familial and national violence. Most of all it is about a young woman's determination to forge her own identity.</p>

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>

Monumenta Bok
<p>Olga Pavic's house has been requisitioned.<br/>The council will bulldoze it.<br/>Her home will become a monument to a massacre.<br/><br/>But Olga cannot ascertain which massacre. Three different architects visit, each with a proposal to construct a different monument, to memorialise a different horror.<br/><br/>Olga can't allow them to unearth the secrets held in this space, not until she reunites with her children for a final dinner. Her aspirational, distant daughter, Hilde, and her secretly queer son, Danilo, both reluctantly agree to fly back to Belgrade.<br/><br/>Within an atmosphere of razor-sharp political surreality, Lara Haworth spins a tender, magical story of familial love and loss. Via a panoply of perspectives <i>Monumenta </i>compellingly and playfully explores remembrance and how tragedy can be the catalyst for remarkable transformation.</p>

I Will Crash Bok
<p><i>It was a peace offering, I knew that</i><br/><br/><i>you don't appear on someone's doorstep uninvited, saying Alright</i><br/><i>unless you want to make amends</i><br/><br/>It's been six years since Rosa last saw her brother. Six years since they last spoke. Six years since they last fought. Six years since she gave up on the idea of having a brother.<br/><br/>She's spent that time carefully not thinking about him. Not remembering their childhood. Not mentioning those stories, even to the people she loves.<br/><br/>Now the distance she had so carefully put between them has collapsed. Can she find a way to make peace - to forgive, to be forgiven - when the past she's worked so hard to contain threatens to spill over into the present?<br/><br/><b>From the acclaimed author of <i>little scratch,</i> this is a moving, powerfully honest novel about how we love, how we grieve and how we forgive. </b></p>
