You know the old woman who lived in a shoe? And had so many children she didn't know what to do? Beatrix Potter gathered material for a book of nursery rhymes for many years before Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes was eventually published in 1917. Charming characters like Old Mr. Pricklepin, Diggory Diggory Delvet and, of course, Appley Dapply are brought to life with funny rhymes and beautiful watercolour illustrations. Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes is number 22 in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books, the titles of which are as follows: 1 The Tale of Peter Rabbit 2 The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin 3 The Tailor of Gloucester 4 The Tale of Benjamin Bunny 5 The Tale of Two Bad Mice 6 The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle 7 The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher 8 The Tale of Tom Kitten 9 The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck 10 The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies 11 The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse 12 The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes 13 The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse 14 The Tale of Mr. Tod 15 The Tale of Pigling Bland 16 The Tale of Samuel Whiskers 17 The Tale of The Pie and the Patty-Pan 18 The Tale of Ginger and Pickles 19 The Tale of Little Pig Robinson 20 The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit 21 The Story of Miss Moppet 22 Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes 23 Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes
A fun-filled rhyming picture book version of Roald Dahl's iconic Revolting Rhymes, featuring the original text and now fully illustrated with brand-new and wickedly funny art. I guess you think you know this story. You don't. The real one's much more gory. Welcome to a deliciously devilish tale where princes are far from charming, sisters weave dastardly plots, and (our hero) Cinderella's happy-ever-after isn't exactly what you'd expect. Roald Dahl is renowned the world over for his fabulous storytelling and this edition of his cautionary tale will delight new readers. With brand-new and wickedly funny illustrations, this splendiferous rhyming picture book is perfect for chiddlers who like their fairy tales with a splash of daring and danger! This picture book edition of Cinderella is a version of the original text by Roald Dahl first published in Revolting Rhymes in 1982, and as such the content reflects the attitudes and culture of the time. Also available in this newly illustrated series: Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf

Blanvalet Der Giftzeichner / Lincoln Rhyme Band 11 A1039482079
Der 11. Fall für Lincoln Rhyme und Amelia Sachs. In einem düsteren Versorgungstunnel wird die Leiche einer jungen Frau gefunden, angestrahlt vom Schein einer Taschenlampe. Auf ihrer Haut eine Botschaft, eintätowiert mit Gift anstatt mit Tinte. Vom Mörder keine Spur. Nur einen einzigen Hinweis entdeckt Amelia Sachs, als sie den unheimlichen Tunnel absucht: ein zusammengeknülltes Stück Papier, das diesen Mord mit einem lange zurückliegenden Fall verbindet, den Amelia und Lincoln Rhyme nie vergessen haben. Ein eiskalter, akribisch vorgehender Serienkiller versetzt New York schon bald in Angst und Schrecken – ein Killer, der dem legendären Knochenjäger in seiner skrupellosen Grausamkeit eindeutig das Wasser reichen kann.
