Book Description
The captain of the Titanic went down with his ship on 15 April, 1912. But thoughts have power, and those who endure in the stories of the living are said to continue to roam the world after their deaths. And so the captain wanders in search of the things he tried to find in life, and discovers his destiny intimately entwined with a painter who shares the same fate, not knowing that their paths had crossed a long time ago. The Impermanence of Lilies is a melancholic tribute to the nature of life and a yearning for love, in a story that reaches across lifetimes, borders, and the space between two hearts. "A poetic, poignant love letter to life. Daniel Yeo has important things to tell us about the painful beauty of impermanence, and he tells them with a tender lyricism." -Melissa de Villiers, author of The Chameleon House “A wistful travel narrative by the RMS Titanic Captain that dives into preternatural waters, flowing into surprising and surrealist tributaries of reflections on death, memory, identity, friendship, and unwaveringly, love.” -Cyril Wong, poet and fictionist

Book Description
A fascinating, richly illustrated exploration of the poignant origins of Rudyard Kipling's world-famous children's classic From "How the Leopard Got Its Spots" to "The Elephant's Child," Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories have delighted readers across the world for more than a century. In this original study, John Batchelor explores the artistry with which Kipling created the Just So Stories, using each tale as an entry point into the writer's life and work--including the tragedy that shadows much of the volume, the death of his daughter Josephine. Batchelor details the playful challenges the stories made to contemporary society. In his stories Kipling played with biblical and other stories of creation and imagined fantastical tales of animals' development and man's discovery of literacy. Richly illustrated with original drawings and family photographs, this account reveals Kipling's public and private lives--and sheds new light on a much-loved and tremendously influential classic.

Book Description
It was clear from a very early age that Arry Trumper was not happy being Arry Trumper: he preferred to be somebody else, anybody else, other than Arry Trumper. Compelled to participate in a world of unpleasant parents, lunatic teachers and brutal Ofsted inspections, he judges the lot to be inadequate and in need of improvement. Improvement for Arry means the reinvention of the world in his own image: a world in which nothing is regular; a world in which inanity, cruelty and pretentiousness find the oblivion which has for far too long eluded it. The Boy Who Preferred to be Somebody Else is a book to amuse all wannabe subversives aged 13-16, as Arry becomes who he wants to become in his surreal fight against the authority of those who wish he had never existed... Southport has never looked so strange! What the characters said about the book: “That boy is poison!” – Arry’s mother “The child is clearly in urgent need of psychiatric help.” – Arry’s Headmaster “I quite like him.” – Jeffrey “My blue trousers have never looked smarter.” – Biffa the Bear “Mine too.” – Ofsted Inspector
