Book Description
“What is the best thing about where you live? Share something unusual about it.” I smiled as I wrote “Peaches.” The peaches grown in Bucheon are the best in all of South Korea, and a rare treat for a young Yangsook. She dreams of a peach orchard where she can play and eat as much of the delicious fruit as she wishes. Then one day, after hours of a sudden heavy downpour, the sky begins to rain peaches. Yangsook finds herself in peach heaven—until she remembers the farmers who have lost their harvest and decides she must help them. Fully revised and re-illustrated, Peach Heaven is a timeless ode to human kindness and childhood wonder based on the author’s early life.

Book Description
These poems are not muscular, literary, or award-winning. Instead they are slightly dangerous, filled with banana peels, sharp objects, reflex hammers, and various items you could not send through US mail. They also contain stories, possibly one of the most dangerous things ever invented. There are stories about trees, people, other people, artwork, near-misses of artwork, bears, barns, and a convention of angels. There are stories of forgiveness, remembrance, peaches, peonies, and poems themselves. For ease of use, each poem is equipped with useful punctuation marks and extra white space. Handle with care. You may be stuck with them.

This is top of my wish list!' - Good Housekeeping 'Favourite Reads to Gift' When Diana Henry was sixteen she started a menu notebook (an exercise book carefully covered in wrapping paper) in which she wrote up the meals she wanted to cook. She kept this book for years. Putting a menu together is still her favourite part of cooking. Menus aren't just groups of dishes that have to work on a practical level (meals that cooks can manage), they also have to work as a succession of flavours. But what is perhaps most special about them is the way they can create very different moods - menus can take you places, from an afternoon at the seaside in Brittany to a sultry evening eating mezze in Istanbul. They are a way of visiting places you've never seen, revisiting places you love and celebrating particular seasons. How to Eat a Peach contains many of Diana's favourite dishes in menus that will take you through the year and to different parts of the world.

Beth Woodson is a thirtythree- year-old cynical, self-centred Londoner who God sends back to earth to make up for her past sins, which include infidelity, being a terrible manager to her staff and a dishonest friend. She has six days to help bring together four couples of different ages and backgrounds, to learn the real values of love, friendship and honour. When you're a cynical, non-committal, couldn't-care-less-aboutchildren, thirty-three year-old woman, how do you help others fall in love? Especially when you possess no angel power and have to be a normal human being again. And if that weren't enough, the devils have been observing Beth. They're furious that God took her to heaven when her selfdestructive madness belongs in hell, so they make it their mission to cause destruction on earth and get her back where she belongs. Matters are further complicated when she falls madly in love with Chris, but has to hide her true identity from him. If Beth succeeds in her goals, her sins will be forgiven and she can return to earth. But if she fails, she'll be condemned to an eternity in hell...
