This series has been designed to support the reading work which Year 1 children will be doing at school, providing useful reinforcment for 4-6 year olds. Children learn to read through a variety of strategies and it is particularly important that they can understand the relationship of a printed letter, or group of letters, to its sound - phonics. The "Phonic Storybooks" take a step-by-step approach to learning these phonic relationships in the context of lively, amusing stories with full-colour illustration, which aim to be fun for young readers as they learn. In addition, children are taught to recognise complete words through repetition and the use of clear picture clues. Activity pages extend the range of sounds learned in the stories and provide extra practice.

In a gloomy flat off Islington High Street, Chief Inspector Brett Nightingale and Sergeant Beddoes find an old woman dead. The Princess Olga Karukhin, who fled from Russia at the time of the Revolution, has lived in terror of being discovered ever since. Olga's grandson, Ivan, appears to have run from the scene, but is later seen returning to the flat as though oblivious to the terrible crime. Taking place between 22nd and 24th December, Nightingale's enquiry takes him across London, culminating in the wrapping of the mystery on Christmas Eve. This never-before-republished novel from 1958 has a noticeably different feel to the neat puzzles and country house mysteries of crime fiction's golden age, revealing the darker side of police detection in an evocative urban setting.

The grey eyes, so apt for tragedy, looked steadily up at me.'You can't trust me, can you' she said. Shentall's, a long-established institution of the Staffordshire Potteries industry, is under attack. With its designs leaked to international competition and its prices undercut, private investigator Hedley Nicholson has been tasked with finding the culprit of the suspected sabotage. But, industrial espionage may just be the beginning. Delving further into the churning heart of Shentall's Pottery, Nicholson's prying is soon to unearth rumours of bonds cruelly smashed to pieces, grievances irrevocably baked in stone and a very real body, turning and turning in the liquid clay. First published in 1961, The Spoilt Kill received widespread critical acclaim and praise from contemporary crime writers such as Julian Symons. It was awarded the CWA Gold Dagger and remains a finely crafted masterpiece of the crime genre.
