Wilber’s Bookshop Tales: The First Tale - Wilhelmina H Li - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Now I know you’ve probably been to lots of bookshops; many shiny new ones with rows and rows of colourful books. But have you ever been in a really old bookshop? They aren’t just bookshops you know. Yes, you can see the books on every shelf, but they’re not just rooms full of books. They’re actually rooms full of doors; big doors, little doors, old doors and new doors. You can’t see them, but in every book you pick up there is a door into a world for you to explore. This is the tale of a bookshop filled to the brim with every type of door imaginable, just waiting for you. What really happens when the lights go off, the shop cools down and the book pages come to life?

The Ghosts in the Doll House - Rachel Hoult - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Peek through the window of the doll house and you will see flashes of bright colours, like little fireworks fizzing in the night sky. These flashes of colour are tiny little ghosts, floating around their new home. Once they were ornaments left to sit on a shelf, high up in the Thompson-Wibbly Manor house, only floating around after dark. It was during an evening float that the doll house was found, hidden upstairs in the dusty attic. Certain it was empty, the ghosts move in. Meet Phoenix, Cordelia, Maurice and the rest of the ghostly gang who share a funny feeling that sends shivers down their cloaks. Does someone know their secret and do they know they have decided to call the doll house in the attic their new home? Wonderfully illustrated by Dave Hill, this tale of new friendship and imagination is perfect for younger readers who love all things spooky. The perfect introduction to reading short chapters alone or performed by a grown up at bedtime giving comical voices to all the characters.

Potted Portraits - Christopher Rose - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Potted Portraits - Christopher Rose - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Didn’t Cleopatra look like Elizabeth Taylor? Didn’t Shakespeare look like Shakespeare? Doesn’t Mazzini deserve to have a biscuit named after him? Did Napoleon pass his French exam? Did Nelson really see no ships? Van Gogh…or Van Gogh ? And can you spot Hitch’s cameo appearance this time? Potted Portraits is an enjoyable saunter through a portrait gallery of varied personalities from History; revered or reviled, loved or loathed, each led a remarkable life that continues to be of interest today. In a series of light verse biographies which delight in testing the limits of tolerance with their rhymes, puns and general linguistic convolutions, discover a few new things about some familiar characters; or reacquaint yourself with some familiar stories in a new way. Included are some perhaps rather less well-known figures, though no less deserving of attention and rewarding to read about. If you want a little light didacticism, with the reasonable chance of a smile – even a laugh – this is the book for you!

The Price - Matthew Barrow - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Price - Matthew Barrow - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In a future England, governed by the authoritarian Party of Order and Nation, individuals are selected at random to live in enforced poverty. The policy is called ‘the Price’: in order for the majority to live well, the policy states, a minority must go without. Equality is impossible. One morning, office worker Krystan Hoad is told that he has been assigned to pay that price. As his world is turned upside down, a story of revolution unfolds through snapshots of the lives of twelve interconnected individuals: a network of dissidents called The Dream League; a robotics genius persecuted by a corrupt police officer; a mysterious agent of the resistance; a wealthy gallery owner leading a double life; a questioning civil servant at the heart of government; and a young woman with a secret mission... Through these and others, a portrait unfolds of life under the shadow of the Price: the surveillance drones and police androids that maintain order, life at the bottom and the top, and the beginnings of an uprising...

The Irrepressible Mary Jeune, Victorian Influencer - Amelia Fletcher - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Irrepressible Mary Jeune, Victorian Influencer - Amelia Fletcher - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

At the end of the 19th century Mary Jeune (pronounced June) was one of the most renowned and influential people in Britain, ostensibly through her journalism on social and women’s affairs, and her uniquely diverse salon, but also clandestinely through her connections with those in power. Spanning 85 years, from a bizarrely spartan upbringing in the Scottish Highlands to her death in 1931, this account of Jeune’s life offers fresh views of well-known figures such as Oscar Wilde, Thomas Hardy, Millicent Fawcett, Randolph and Winston Churchill. At the same time, it contains a rogues’ gallery of eccentrics and mavericks who have since sunk, like her, into obscurity. Behind an exterior indomitable enough to inspire Wilde’s Lady Bracknell lay a far more approachable personality. This book reveals the many dimensions and contradictions of a unique Victorian. Mary Jeune had a finger in just about every pie of the time, political, social, or cultural. This biography will appeal to not only those interested in the period, but to anyone who likes to be entertained by a well-told story.

What Kathleen Did - Jill Mcrae Spencer - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

What Kathleen Did - Jill Mcrae Spencer - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

It is 1929 and 18-year-old Kathleen, from a prosperous middle-class London home, travels with her friend Alice to Devon for a holiday. While there she meets Jim Wilcox, a tenant farmer, and Robert Neville, heir to Alston Manor, the landlord. While Jim views a wife as subject to a husband’s will, as his property, Robert sees a husband’s role as protector. Declaring she wants to ‘do’ something and not marry the first young man who comes along, Kathleen represents the modern woman. A most significant issue post war concerned the place of women in society. The press ran headlines such as ‘Our Surplus Women’ and the 1921 census confirmed that women outnumbered men by almost two million. The independent woman was for many men an alarming prospect. Marriage was considered the norm and to be left on the shelf a humiliation. Seduced by Jim, Kathleen finds she is pregnant. She therefore finds that the choices she hoped to be able to make about her future are no longer possible due to her circumstances. She must become a farmer''s wife for the sake of her child but this will be a hard and harsh life with few of the opportunities she had longed for. Her feelings for Robert will also be a constant reminder of a different and potentially happier life for her. It is with the start of the next war that a whole new future will suddenly open up for Kathleen, but her escape to a new life will come at a considerable cost.

Frederick the Mouse - John Mcewan Whyte - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A mouse who is small in size, but big in heart takes centre stage in John McEwan-Whyte’s debut children’s book. Frederick the mouse resides in the famous Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum along with his best friend, Jeremy the elephant. Using his quick wit, mischievous nature and cheeky grin, Frederick finds new adventures everywhere, all under the watchful eye of the museum janitor, Henry. In Davinci’s Desk, Frederick investigates the appearance of a new exhibit to the museum; the very desk that Leonardo Davinci used to create his artistic masterpieces. One priceless broken drawer later and Frederick finds himself transported to 15th century Florence, where he falls under the care of the great thinker himself. As readers follow the large-eared explorer on his journey, they learn more about the famed Davinci, how Frederick played an important part in the creation of the most famous painting in the world and how important friendship is to a person whether they be a bushy-bearded inventor or a cheese-inclined mouse. Frederick the Mouse is a heartwarming tale of adventure and friendships, which also covers interesting subjects ranging from Italian phrases to mathematical ratios. Readers are left with more knowledge than when they embarked upon the adventure of a lifetime with their new favourite character, Frederick the mouse. Designed to be a book for young readers to grow up with, Frederick the Mouse contains a number of beautiful illustrations that will captivate readers’ attention. It will appeal to a wide range of young readers, particularly those that enjoy animal and adventure stories.

The First Hints of Purple - Michael Hill - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The First Hints of Purple - Michael Hill - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The First Hints of Purple is a wide-ranging collection of stories whose meticulous, elegant prose encompasses everyday experience alongside shrewd and often comic insights into human nature. Many of the tales are familiar in form whilst others comprise what Hill refers to as ‘indeterminate literary entities’. These probe beneath the surface of ordinary events in pursuit of those indefinable aspects of reality about which no convincing explanation exists. Although such matters are by nature ‘profound’, they are also part of daily life - thereby justifying a hint of schadenfreude when a passenger train to Heathrow is delayed. Alternatively, we can only watch in silence as the Fireweed, displaying its ‘first hints of purple’, bursts into flower, regardless of ‘nature red in tooth and claw’ in the nearby undergrowth. By contrast, in ‘The Rathbone-Baker Prize’, we can breeze lightheartedly along to the Quantum Gallery where a visitor fails to realise that a pile of newspapers is not just a pile of newspapers but a bona fide exhibit! The First Hints of Purple is a collection of tales in which subject matter, mood, length and style vary greatly. Featured at intervals, there’s a further, distinctive side to Hill’s work in which his characters meditate on the enigma of ‘time’. Indeed, mentioned repeatedly throughout the diverse and always riveting ups-and-downs of Hill’s stories, ‘time’ is a recurrent question. And it’s a question to which he wisely gives no answer! Underpinned throughout by humour, this book will appeal to established short story lovers as well as to a broader readership.

The French Riviera - Michael Nelson - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The French Riviera - Michael Nelson - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The French Riviera: A History ranges from the Terra Amata in Nice, occupied from 380,000 years ago and one of the oldest inhabited prehistoric sites in the world, through to settlement by Greeks, Romans, Franks, Ostrogoths and Visigoths, wars and revolutions, to the establishment of the Silicon Valley of France in Sophia-Antipolis in 1974. Michael Nelson shows the surprisingly cosmopolitan nature of the area in the early middle ages, such as the story of the finishing school run by Frankish kings in the 7th century where Siagrius, the ruler of the region, had studied and where the son of King Edwin of Northumbria in England was also sent. The Riviera was part of Provence in France for much of its history and was often a microcosm of France itself, with many dynastic struggles and horrific blood-letting. Colour maps and plates illustrate The French Riviera: A History, and it is also full of fascinating anecdotes. Examples include the loan of a guillotine by Nice to Grasse in the French Revolution (Nice had no victims and Grasse had thirty) and the occasion when Jean Moulin, the leader of the French Resistance in World War II, invited the Germans to the opening of an art gallery in Nice which he was using as a front. In the nineteenth and twentieth century the British and Americans led tourism, and the Riviera was described by Somerset Maugham as ‘a sunny place for shady people’. The French Riviera: A History is a fascinating look back over the Riviera’s rich history. Perfect to dip into, or follow the whole historical journey in one sitting, it will make the perfect addition to any history buff’s bookcase.
