It’s just like a fairy tale. In the forest Flora stumbles on a little house with a garden that’s overgrown with roses. But the house is about to be sold. Not only that, but Flora learns from the owner’s daughter that a white horse has been living for a long time in the stable…but now he’s disappeared! Together with her magic owl Goldwing, Flora tries to find the terrified animal. Will the two of them manage to make their way through the jungle of roses and win the confidence of the white stallion?
Exciting new adventures in the Enchanted Forest. The mighty tree witches send out invitations to take part in the great Witch Competition, which is only held once every hundred years. The prize is a superb extra magical power. Just the thing for a young owl witch like Petunia, think the seven litte owls, and so they secretly enter their witch for the competition. There is just one catch: whoever comes last in solving the extremely difficult magic problems must hand over her witch’s broomstick. Oh dear! The trouble is, all the other witches are very old and are real experts in the art of magic… Fortunately, and as always, Petunia can rely on her little owls!

Because suddenly Claro disappears from the face of the earth. And without him, no magic can ever succeed…

In Welcome to the club, Manchester legend DJ Paulette shares the highs, lows and lessons of a thirty-year music career, with help from some famous friends. One of the Haçienda's first female DJs, Paulette has scaled the heights of the music industry, playing to crowds of thousands all around the world, and descended to the lows of being unceremoniously benched by COVID-19, with no chance of furlough and little support from the government. Here she tells her story, offering a remarkable view of the music industry from a Black woman's perspective. Behind the core values of peace, love, unity and respect, dance music is a world of exclusion, misogyny, racism and classism. But, as Paulette reveals, it is also a space bursting at the seams with powerful women. Part personal account, part call to arms, Welcome to the club exposes the exclusivity of the music industry while seeking to do justice to the often invisible women who keep the beat going.

The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth. For millennia the 'wild' was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth's wild places. We'll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men's climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain's first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai's daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women's adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be 'wildly different'.

Bildnis einer Dame (The Portrait of a Lady) ist die Geschichte der jungen Amerikanerin Isabel Archer, die nach dem Tod ihres Vaters zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben nach Europa kommt und mit ihrem Charme, ihrem Wissensdurst und ihrer selbstbewußten Offenheit die Sympathie ihrer Verwandten dort erringt. Sie wird zur Haupterbin ihres Onkels. Doch obwohl ihr ihre Unabhängigkeit zunächst über alles geht, heiratet sie schließlich und merkt zu spät, daß sie einer Intrige zum Opfer gefallen ist. Dabei wird kein Herz gebrochen, kein Schurke triumphiert. Isabel Archer kommt zur Einsicht, reift an ihrem Irrtum und wird, ständig sich besinnend, schließlich zu jenem Bildnis einer Dame, deren Gesicht Züge des Leidens und der Erfahrung trägt und dessen Schönheit nicht nur an der Oberfläche haftet. Dieses Gesicht ist bedeutend geworden. James gelingt es meisterhaft, des Lesers Anteilnahme am Schicksal der Protagonistin, die Neugier am weiteren Verlauf ihres Lebens zu wecken. Ein Meisterwerk. Die Verfilmung von Jane Campion mit Nicole Kidman in der Titelrolle war 1996 ein großer Erfolg in den Kinos.
