❄️👑 He’s here! It’s King Winter’s Birthday, the achingly beautiful, timeless picture book from Jonathan Freedland and Emily Sutton, inspired by a story from Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, author of The Passenger

It’s King Winter’s birthday, and he wants his party to be really special. He asks all of his brothers and sisters to be there: Queen Spring, King Summer and Queen Autumn.

But the wind and the trees whisper a warning, and as the four play magical games, something strange begins to happen outside.

Presenting the Hermann Hesse trilogy from the Classics Library 🌺 the latest addition is The Journey to the East, translated by Hilda Rosner with a foreword by Tony Wheeler. This kaleidoscopic narrative reels between despair and elation, as Hesse meditates on creativity and spiritual transcendence. 🦚

Along with Siddhartha and Demian, here we have exemplary work by one of the 20th century’s true literary giants - and there may be more to come…📚

Into the woods 🌲🌳🌲🌳 with Maddalena Vaglio Tanet and her elegantly mysterious debut novel about a community's search for a missing teacher. Untold Lessons is out today! ➡️➡️ SWIPE RIGHT for the chance to meet this month!

One morning, a teacher disappears into the woods. As whispers fill her classroom and relatives scour the streets, she melts into a wild landscape - a darkly entrancing place where boars roam free, silver birches tower overhead and the air is filled with ancient bird calls. Sinking into a bed of moss, she tries to escape the shocking news of a pupil's death.

Back in town, behind shuttered windows and on factory floors, the mystery takes hold.

Who is Silvia really?

A teacher of rare kindness, living outside of other people's expectations, or a solitary misfit without a family to call her own?

When a local child stumbles upon her hiding place, it seems like the search might be over. But what happens when the missing do not want to be found?

Translated from the Italian by Jill Foulston and inspired by a true story that rocked Maddalena's hometown.

Out today! Murder in Constantinople is the swashbuckling debut historical crime adventure from A.E. Goldin 🗡️

London, 1854. Twenty-one-year-old Ben Canaan attracts trouble wherever he goes. His father wants him to be a good Jewish son, working for the family business on Whitechapel Road, but Ben and his friends, the ‘Good-for-Nothings’, just want adventure.

Then the discovery of an enigmatic letter and a photograph of a beautiful woman offer an escapade more dangerous than anything he’d imagined. Suddenly Ben is thrown into a mystery that takes him all the way to Constantinople, the jewel of an empire and the centre of a world on the brink of war.

His only clue is three words: ‘The White Death’. Now he must find what links a string of grisly murders, following a trail through kingmaking and conspiracy, poison and high politics, bloodshed and betrayal. In a city of deadly secrets, no one is safe – and one wrong step could cost Ben his life.

Perfect for fans of Graham Greene, David Lean, and Indiana Jones

🌙 Published today! The Formidable Miss Cassidy by Meihan Boey

Miss Cassidy is no ordinary governess.

She can tutor the most wayward child, tell stories in multiple languages and fix any household crisis. But she also deals with problems of a far more dark and dangerous kind.

Arriving in 1890s Singapore, this formidable, flame-haired Scotswoman soon finds herself (among other things) ridding a house of a bloodthirsty demon and raising a spirit from the dead. But when she is hired by the wealthy Chinese widower Mr Kay, whose family is suffering from a terrible curse, she must battle forces far more ancient and powerful than any she has encountered – not to mention the unexpected impulses of her own heart…

An irresistible brew of magic, romance and mystery The Formidable Miss Cassidy invites you to embark on a thrilling supernatural adventure alongside an unforgettable heroine.
