Named in the University of Toronto Bookstore Review as one of the top100 Canadian books of all timeThere is much more than one good story in this bestselling (over 10,000 copies sold) collection of short fiction. In fact, there are more than a few of the best examples of native storytelling ever published. Thomas King, author of the acclaimed Medicine River  and  Green Grass, Running Water, and the newly released Truth and Bright Water, has proven he has a magical gift, a fresh voice and a special brand of wit and comic imagination. One Good Story, That One is steeped in native oral tradition, led off by a sly creation tale, introducing the traditional native trickster coyote. Weaving the realities of native history and contemporary life through the story, King recounts a parodic version of the Garden of Eden story, slyly pulling our leg and our funnybone.A collection that is rich with strong characters, alive with crisp dialogue and shot through with the universal truths we are all searching for, One Good Story, That One is one great read.

A Halloween collection of things that go bump in the night -- namely the inimitable Bart Simpson. Prepare to be scared, very scared -- and very entertained, as Bart provides a little bit of black magic. What is Halloween without The Simpsons annual special, and what is the annual special without Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror? This long-awaited follow-up to the bestselling Bart Simpson's Guide to Life continues the impressive roll call of HarperCollins's Simpsons publications. Marvel as Lisa combines human DNA from Homer's toenail clippings with a Venus flytrap to create a giant donut-eating plant in 'Little Shop of Homers'. And in another spooktacular story, gasp in horror as a sleazy old enemy gets a slimy new look in a tale of murder, mayhem and mucus that Bart calls 'Sideshow Blob'. Also see Lisa possessed by musical evil spirits in 'The Exorsister'. And just when you thought the terror was over, you'll chew your nails to the quick as Springfield succumbs to the 'Immigration of the Body Snatchers'. Prepare to cringe in fear at the maniacal monstrosity of Matt Groening's genius.

<p>'A History of Jerusalem should be read, not only by travellers and potential travellers in Jerusalem, but by all of us.' Stephen Tummin, Daily Telegraph Jerusalem has probably cast more of a spell over the human imagination than any other city in the world. Held by believers to contain the site where Abraham offered up Isaac, the place of the crucifixion of Christ and the rock from which the prophet Muhammed ascended to heaven, Jerusalem has been celebrated and revered for centuries by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Such is the symbolic power of this ancient city that its future status poses a major obstacle to a comprehensive regional peace in the Middle East. In this comprehensive and elegantly written work, Karen Armstrong traces the turbulent history of the city from the prehistoric era to the present day.</p>
