Miniature Hardback Edition |
 Johnny’s Bad Day
By Edward Ardizzone
Illustrated by the author
Pages: 32
Age range: 2 to 9
Price: £6.99
ISBN 978 1 903252 30 7
Johnny gets out of the wrong side of the bed one morning – a bad start to a very bad day. Johnny spills the milk at breakfast, pulls his sister’s hair, and makes a horrid banging noise with his toys. His mother and father are very cross with him and he is cross with them! The day seems to be going from bad to worse, but, by the end of it, tired and tearful Johnny is a happy boy again. A delightful miniature picture book.
Amanda Craig reviews Johnny’s Bad Day in the Times:
Edward Ardizzone is one of the greatest illustrators of the 20th century, and good for the heroic Jane Nissen Books for republishing Johnny's Bad Day as a lovely little hardback.
Ardizzone's drawings bristle with wit, elegance and the shining intelligence that remain in the memory as a special delight, long after the covers are closed.

 Christmas with
the Savages
By Mary Clive
Illustrated by Philip Gough
Foreword by Laura Cecil
Pages: 178 pages
Age range: All ages
Price: £7.99
ISBN 978 1 903252 31 4 |
Based on real events and people, this story of a small girl’s Christmas holiday in a large Edwardian country house is effortlessly funny. At Tamerlane Hall Evelyn finds a horde of children: the gentle Glens, the plaintive Howliboos, and above all, the uninhibited Savages. They are controlled – or not – by a host of parents, supernumerary Uncles and Aunts, Nannies and nurserymaids. Evelyn survives the Christmas festivities – just – returning home none too soon! Seen through the eyes of a prim little eight-year-old, this is an amusing and touching account of a childhood a hundred years ago.
‘When I first read Christmas with the Savages fifty years ago, I thought it was a joy – amusing and very touching by turns. Now it's become a precious jewel: it's still very funny, of course, but it's also wonderfully redolent of another time, another place.'

Constantine
Bay was the best place in the world for a holiday,
Susan thought. She loved scrambling over the rocks
and exploring the tiny, secret coves. It
was in one of them that she made an amazing discovery
discovery – R. Dragon, who is a very special dragon.
He is 1500 years old, with beautiful manners – far
too polite to eat people! He loves almond buns,
and takes Susan to tea with the mermaid . . .
'A lovely book.' Amanda Craig
