INTRODUCED BY ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH Mildred Lathbury is one of those excellent women who are often taken for granted. She is a godsend, 'capable of dealing with most of the stock situations or even the great moments of life - birth, marriage, death, the successful jumble sale, the garden fête spoilt by bad weather'. Her glamorous new neighbours, the Napiers, seem to be facing a marital crisis. One cannot take sides in these matters, though it is tricky, especially as Mildred has a soft spot for dashing young Rockingham Napier. This is Barbara Pym's world at its funniest and most touching. 'One of the most endearingly amusing English novels of the twentieth century' ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH 'Barbara Pym is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life' ANNE TYLER 'Why shouldn't the lives of cardigan-wearing spinsters and fussy confirmed bachelors be the engines of some of the finest comic writing in English? Not only was Pym a comic genius but she was ever so wise' THE TIMES

Neil Munro's The Daft Days is a delicately comic and affectionate study of Scottish provincial life during the festive interval traditionally known as the "daft days," the brief season between Christmas and New Year when ordinary restraints are loosened. Through scenes of household bustle, youthful feeling, communal ritual, and quietly absurd social performance, Munro transforms a modest domestic narrative into a richly textured portrait of custom and character. Its style is lyrical yet conversational, marked by Scots idiom, humane irony, and the poised sentiment characteristic of late-Victorian and Edwardian regional fiction. Munro, born in Inveraray in 1863, was a journalist, novelist, and one of the finest interpreters of western Scottish life. His work often joins antiquarian memory with modern observation, moving between Highland romance, urban journalism, and comic realism. The Daft Days reflects his intimate knowledge of Scottish speech, seasonal traditions, and the emotional life of small communities, as well as his gift for finding dignity and comedy in ordinary people. This book is recommended to readers who value subtle humor, regional atmosphere, and fiction attentive to social custom. It is especially rewarding for those interested in Scottish literature beyond the familiar canon.

'Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show' Dickens's epic, exuberant novel is one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in literature. It chronicles David Copperfield's extraordinary journey through life, as he encounters villains, saviours, eccentrics and grotesques, including the wicked Mr Murdstone, stout-hearted Peggotty, formidable Betsey Trotwood, impecunious Micawber and odious Uriah Heep. Dickens's great Bildungsroman (based, in part, on his own boyhood, and which he described as a 'favourite child') is a work filled with life, both comic and tragic.
