When Katharine is found dead at the foot of her stairs, it is the mystery of her life that consumes her daughter, Laura. The medical examiner's report, in which precious parts of Katharine's body are weighed and categorised, motivates Laura to write her own version of events. But as she delves deeper into Katharine's past, she is forced to confront a new version of the woman she knew only as her mother. A woman silenced by her own mother and wronged by her husband. A woman who lived in the shadows but whose secrets are now coming to light.

Take a leisurely armchair stroll around the green with our wonderful Wodehouse Golf Collection - and laugh the whole way! With sharp humor and cutting wit, renowned author P. G. Wodehouse leads the reader on a tour of the golfer's life in the 1920s - both on and off the course - that is anything but boring. Featuring a comedic collection of Wodehouse's short stories in two hardcover volumes, this boxed set will have even the grumpiest of golf haters chuckling aloud at the parables imparted by the Oldest Member in The Clicking of Cuthbert and the droll social commentary on display in The Heart of a Goof. Wodehouse sketches his stories with a keen self-awareness (and a hearty serving of snark!) that is sure to please both avid golfers and their long-suffering friends and family. (SM)

★ “The combination of Twain’s (often sarcastic) humor and “lessons of life,” a touch of allegory, and Stead’s own storytelling skills result in an awesome piece of fantasy.”—School Library Journal, starred review

Available now.

A previously unfinished Mark Twain children’s story is brought to life by Philip and Erin Stead, creators of the Caldecott Medal-winning A Sick Day for Amos McGee.

In a hotel in Paris one evening in 1879, Mark Twain sat with his young daughters, who begged their father for a story. Twain began telling them the tale of Johnny, a poor boy in possession of some magical seeds. Later, Twain would jot down some rough notes about the story, but the tale was left unfinished . . . until now.
