Borlu must travel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own, across a border like no other.

They most certainly do, according to plantswoman Carol Klein, who has been growing, propagating and showing plants for more than thirty years. In Plant Personalities, she demonstrates how understanding their needs and giving them the best conditions in which to thrive enables plants to develop their true characters - the qualities that make them what they are - or who they are.Personality traits are as valueable as height, habit and flower colour when choosing which plants to grow and how to grow them. Good-natured, bread-and-butter plants contribute to the overall picture for months, while others are fleeting, shooting to stardom for a brief but breathtaking performance. Wafty whisperers add a touch of frivolity, bringing rustling rhythms to beds and borders.… Read More

Neither had wished to go, but Clementine's mother persuaded her daughter to accept the invitation, while Winston's private secretary told him sternly that it was his duty to attend. By chance they sat next to each other, and the outcome was an intense and speedy courtship between a son of the Marlboroughs of England and a daughter of the Airlies of Scotland.This first dual family biography does not neglect Winston's life as a child, a soldier in India and Africa, and his astonishing rise and fall in politics. It is equally revealing about Clementine's turbulent childhood and young womanhood, when self-doubts led to broken engagements.But there was no more loyal a wife in the political arena of the first half of the century, and Winston's love was unwavering in spite of Clementine's suspicions.… Read More

Revealing himself only when they were far out to sea, he baited his magic hook and, chanting a powerful incantation, cast his line. There was no doubts that the fish would be wondrous, but even Maui's brothers were in awe of it when it leapt through the waves. Falling on the fish in their hunger, they hacked at it, tearing its edges and pitting its surface. So Aotearoa was born to the world of light. Aotearoa New Zealand: land of lakes and forests, mountains and rivers. Aotearoa: the legendary land.The legendary land is revealed in all its astonishing beauty in this exceptional book.

The mission fizzled out but the damage had been done. Roger and the evil occultist had met; fate took charge with terrible results for both.

After the publication of only two collections of poetry, For the Record and Crazy Woman, she is recognized as one of Australia's leading poets. Crazy Woman was highly commended in the 1977 National Book Council Awards.Crazy Woman is an exceptional collection of poetry, one in which Anne Elder creates her own unique world of passion and integrity.Her mood and response to experience ranges from the quirky wit, powerful perceptiveness and humaneness of poems like "Boxes", "Farmer Goes Berserk" and 'One Foot in the Door", to the rambling, arhythmical portrait of an eccentric bachelor ("The Bachelor") and her casual but fierce view of school cadets. Tender lyricism, delicate shading and pastel mood are combined with a briskness, a sardonic humour.As Anne Elder herself said: "I detest… Read More
