Cause Célèbre

Cause Célèbre

Terence Rattigan

Terence Rattigan

Based on the true story of Alma Rattenbury, who, in 1935, went on trial with her eighteen-year-old lover for the murder of her husband. In the play, Terence Rattigan pits Alma against a formidable lady juror, whose own life offers a plangent counterpoint to the central tale of love, betrayal, guilt and obsession. Published in this edition alongside a major revival of the play at The Old Vic, London, Cause Célèbre was Rattigan's last play and was still running in the West End at the time of his death in 1977. It comes, like the other volumes in NHB's uniform edition of Rattigan's plays, with an authoritative introduction by Rattigan scholar Dan Rebellato. 'Few dramatists of this century have written with more understanding of the human heart than Terence Rattigan' - Michael Billington

Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Allen Say

Children's Books

There were eggs in every bird's nest, the air buzzed with honeybees, and cherry trees blossomed all at once. The poor villagers forgot their cares and gathered in the meadow to sing and dance their time away. But their miserly landlord refused to be happy. Mumbling and grumbling, he sat all alone eating a bowl of cherries and glaring at the merry villagers. Then, quite by accident, he swallowed a cherry pit. The pit began to sprout, and soon the landlord was the wonder of the village—a cherry tree was growing out of the top of his head! What happened to the cherry tree and to the wicked landlord is a favorite joke in Japan. Allen Say tells the story with wit and vitality, and his beautiful drawings complement this classic Japanese tale.

EVREN: Enter the Dragonette

EVREN: Enter the Dragonette

Tee, Marian

Tee, Marian

Sixteen-year-old Deli Winters wakes up, dying. A voice asks her if she wants help, no matter the cost, and she agrees. The next thing she knows, a monster is bathing her in fire. She has become Evren: immortals with dragons for souls.Deli is pretty, bubbly, and stubbornly optimistic. She’s not what anyone would think the ideal girlfriend would be for someone like Lucian Chevalier, her gorgeous, aloof, and perpetually busy savior.But Deli is in love with him and in between dodging the traps of Sanger High’s Queen Bee and working hard at becoming an ass-kicking Evren warrior chick to avenge her parents’ murders, Deli is determined to win Lucian’s heart…whether he likes it or not.ReviewEvren: Enter the Dragonette is one kick-butt novel. Ms. Tee gives us Deli, a normal teen with normal problems even when dealing with some pretty abnormal circumstances, and Lucian, a man who is not used to having someone so openly love him. These two characters are perfectly matched in a yin and yang way. Deli has the personality of a cheerful teenager and seems to bring out the humorous side in Lucian's otherwise serious demeanor. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next novel, and I can only hope it has these three enchanting characters in it. - 4 / 5 Cups, Coffee Time RomanceI was impressed with the depth of the relationship between the three main characters. It was so very realistic and reminded me of the friends I had when I was in school. I am so very looking forward to seeing what the next installment of this fantastic series holds for Deli and her Chevalier Brothers - 4.75/ 5 Stars, Top Pick Night Owl Reviews From the AuthorIf you liked the "wholesomeness" of the romance between Lucian and Deli (even though she's ever so persistent in finding ways to, umm, explore more), you'll probably love the "wholesomeness" of the scares and thrills in my YA horror *Death Loves Me Not. No gore and violence - just plain old good scary ghosts that will remind you of Sadako and other supernatural villains of Asian cult horror films! For more mind-blowingly sexy reads, check out my other books Drawn (YA) and The Werewolf Prince and I *(adult paranormal erotica).
