The fifth title in this gripping series about Omri and his plastic North American Indian -- Little Bull -- who comes alive when Omri puts him in a cupboard. Omri and his father travel back in time to find Little Bull and his people in deep trouble, torn between staying in the West and facing extinction or starting a long trek to a new life in Canada. Omri's final parting with Little Bull is incredibly moving yet the book is also very funny. We meet other favourite characters as well as some new ones and there are wonderful descriptive passages about Little Bull's longhouse and the Iroquois lifestyle. Even though this seems like the end of the story, Lynne does have ideas for a sequel.

Like Pepys and Evelyn, John Aubrey is not only part of the landscape of the English past, but one of the eminences from which we view it. His fame rests principally on his "Brief Lives" - the sketches of his contemporaries. This book attempts to show that "Brief Lives" was a product of its author's temperament and his relations with his friends. Few men could have had such natural generosity or such a capacity to make friends. Among his friends, to name a few, are Hobbes, Wren, Harvey, Hooke, Boyle, Inigo Jones, Newton and Evelyn. But Aubrey regarded neither the book "Brief Lives" or his friends as his main work but rather his surveying, first of his home in Wiltshire, then more widely in Surrey and, in the book "Monumenta Britannica", of the whole of Britain.

Biographies & Memoirs

<p>This biography follows the life of the Empress Zita, one of the most remarkable royal women of recent times. After the assassinations at Sarajevo in 1914, Zita's husband became heir to the Habsburg monarchy. By 1916 the 24-year-old Zita was Empress of Austria-Hungary. Only two years later she witnessed the crumbling of the 650-year-old monarchy. The couple were exiled and Zita's husband died in 1922. Although two unsuccessful attempts to wrest back the crown were made, Zita did not return until she was 90 years old when, after over 60 years of exile, she was allowed to return to Austria.</p>

The Expense of Glory: A Life of John Reith

The life of John Reith is a classical tragedy, but one of baroque proportions. Reith founded, and for its first 14 years directed, the BBC, imbuing it with that Reithian ethos on which it arguably still runs and establishing a model for public service broadcasting all over the world. In the Britain of the 1930s he was a great man. But at the age of 50 he was persuaded to step down and though he was thereafter successively Chairman of Imperial Airways, Minister of Information under Chamberlain, Minister of Transport and then of Works under Chamberlain and High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland, he never again found a job which would absorb his prodigious talents and energies. His underemployment for the rest of his life vastly exacerbated the maniacal, self-contradicting aspects of his character. This biography uncovers Reith's life, using Reith's diary in the BBC archives which must form one of the most complete and extraordinary confessional documents of any figure in British public life in the 20th century.
