Genteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands' suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A morose inventor who owns a bottle of poison powerful enough to kill everyone in town. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a 'walking streak of sex'. These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eccentric mores are unerringly observed - and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired - in this utterly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely entertaining and deliciously perverse travelogue, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.

Surpass all odds, break the chains, defeat a God... Heracles' trials are far from over. Carrying the weight of the heavens, accompanied only by his most loyal friend, Iolaus, he will do anything to atone for his crimes. But all is not as it seems. Gods and men alike plot against him... First Heracles must obtain the girdle of the Amazonian Queen, Hippolyta, steal cattle from the monstrous Geryon, and take apples from the Garden of Hesperides. Through it all Heracles will come to realise his betrayal is more complete than he could ever have imagined. Ultimately, to release himself from his suffering, he must journey deep into Hades, and face death itself... The final instalment in The Heracles Trilogy, Hero of Olympus, is a thrilling triumph, perfect for fans of Miles Cameron, C.F. Iggulden and Simon Scarrow.

I've been kidnapped by Zeus. Plucked from the streets of Manhattan and frightened half to death by a freaking Olympian god. And now I'm trapped in the Underworld, being forced to compete in a series of deadly trials for the position of Queen of the Underworld. Which would mean marrying Hades, the utterly terrifying Lord of the Dead. Who the hell wants a husband at all, let alone one made of smoke and riddled with death? I have to get back home, to New York and my brother. But I can't leave without completing the trials and they've been designed for a godly Queen, not Persephone - barista and botanical garden enthusiast. I'm surrounded by lethal, all-powerful maniacs. Sexy-as-hell maniacs, sure, but as dangerous as they come. And I'm going to have to prove to all of them that there's a goddess of hell inside me. It's the only way I'll survive the Hades Trials. But then what? And why, why, why am I so desperate to see under Hades smoky exterior and find out what he's hiding from me? If I win the trials, I have to marry the devil himself. But losing might mean losing my life. The Power of Hades is book 1 in the Hades Trials, which is intended for adults and is packed with magic, mythology and slow-burn soulmate romance! *Contains swearing and mature themes.*

Set in a cosy, heartwarming world brimming with singing flowers, honey cakes and heartwarming romance, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a story about giving second chances - to others and to yourself. From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop, Sarah Beth Durst. 'Full of magic, wonder and gentle romance . . . The perfect comfort read' - Stephanie Burgis, author of Wooing the Witch Queen Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she is turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the Great Library of Alyssium. When, years later, Terlu wakes up, she finds herself on a nearly deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. The only other human on the island is a grumpy - but surprisingly sweet - gardener. He offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes and freshly baked honey cakes - at least until she's ready to sail home. But Terlu can't return, and doesn't want to. And when she learns that the magic that sustains the greenhouses is failing - causing the death of everything within them - Terlu knows she must stay and help. Even if that means breaking the law again. Assisted by the gardener, a sentient rose, and a winged cat, Terlu must uncover the spell that will save the island - and possibly also find herself a fresh chance at love and happiness along the way. Funny, kind and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse is the latest enchanting fantasy romance, from the author of The Spellshop.

London is endlessly surprising. This book takes you to Little Ben and a junkyard, to markets and gardens, to Lenin's office and a fake 10 Downing Street. London is full of strange and beautiful sights. It is a place for traditions and rebels, for the establishment and every alternative subculture. This book celebrates the diversity of the city. It invites you to see Little Ben or the fake 10 Downing Street, and answers both conventional and unusual questions. What, apart from Rolling Scones, will you see at God's Own Junkyard? Where does an old-school gentleman buy his wine and umbrellas? Why did Robbie Williams feud with his next-door neighbor? How has the city commemorated the Queen Mother and Princess Diana? In which park do 100-year-old naked ladies cavort on the banks of the Thames? Where did Lenin and Julian Assange campaign for their beliefs? And which bridge rolls itself up?

»Our England is a garden«, notierte einst der Schriftsteller Rudyard Kipling und als er 1907 mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur ausgezeichnet wurde, investierte er sein Preisgeld umgehend in seinen Garten Bateman’s in der Grafschaft Sussex. Die Leidenschaft fürs Gärtnern teilte der Autor des »Dschungelbuchs« mit so berühmten Persönlichkeiten wie dem Politiker Winston Churchill, der Krimiautorin Agatha Christie, der Bildhauerin Barbara Hepworth und dem Regisseur Derek Jarman.?In diesem Band nehmen die Journalistin Sabine Deh und der Fotograf Bent Szameitat ihre Leser mit auf einen unterhaltsamen Streifzug durch 60 interessante Gärten und Skulpturenparks im Süden Englands. Die Reise führt u.?a. zum Monk’s House, dem Heim der Schriftstellerin Virginia Woolf, zum Hever Castle, wo Anne Boleyn, die zweite Ehefrau von König Heinrich VIII. aufwuchs, nach Highgrove, dem privaten Refugium von Prinz Charles, zu einem Wassergarten in Weymouth, der nach den berühmten Seerosenbilder von Monet gestaltet wurde, zu Queen Victorias Wochenenddomizil Osborne House auf der Isle of White und auch zu Througham Court, einem wissenschaftlichen Garten der Malaria-Ärztin Christine Facer, in dem es ein »Schwarzes Loch« und einen Birkenweg zu sehen gibt, der nach den Regeln der Fibonacci-Zahlenfolge angelegt wurde. Darüber hinaus werden klassische Landschaftsgärten wie Stourhead oder Sheffield Park sowie moderne Skulpturenparks wie etwa die Anlage der Cass Sculpture Foundation vorgestellt, außerdem fünf Kultstätten, darunter Stonehenge und der megalithische Steinkreis von Avebury.
