Jonathan Cape Billy and the Beast Ширин Надя

Join Billy and Fatcat on their quest to escape Captain Howl in their third thrilling adventure, filled with singing mermaids and sticky toffee eating sharks • Ahoy there! It's time to sail the ocean blue with Billy and her trusty feline friend, as they embark on a noble seafaring adventure • Billy and Fatcat find a mysterious message in a bottle at sea. When suddenly something terrible happens: they bump into a pesky pirate and his smelly crew. Oh no! • Fortunately for our courageous twosome, they're no strangers to peril: they always have a trick (or treat) up their sleeves • Nadia Shireen is back with her third instalment from our favourite heroine and hangry cat

Барбара в очень плохом настроении. Она не хочет этого признавать, но это так • У нее проблема с носками, а в обеденный перерыв появляется странная горошина... И даже несмотря на то, что она в парке со своими друзьями, все это становится чересчур. Внезапно воблер Барбары вышел из-под контроля! • Но что, если Барбара и ее Воблер смогут работать вместе, чтобы она снова стала жизнерадостной? • Детская книга Нади Ширин "Барбара бросает воблер" - это блестяще забавный и чуткий способ понять истерики и справиться с ними • Книга на английском языке • Barbara is in a very bad mood. She won't admit it, but she is • She has a problem with a sock, and at lunchtime there's a strange pea... And even though she's at the park with her friends, it all just gets a bit much

Jimmy Corrigan has rightly been hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever to be published. It won the Guardian First Book Award 2001, the first graphic novel to win a major British literary prize • It is the tragic autobiography of an office dogsbody in Chicago who one day meets the father who abandoned him as a child. With a subtle, complex and moving story and the drawings that are as simple and original as they are strikingly beautiful, Jimmy Corrigan is a book unlike any other and certainly not to be missed

"Медведь-пчела" - веселая книжка Нади Ширин • Норман - медведь. Медведь, который любит мед • По словам Нормана, меда никогда не бывает достаточно! А у кого больше всего меда? Пчелы, конечно же! • Итак, одетый в свою самую лучшую пчелиную одежку, он думает, что выглядит вполне убедительно, когда проникает в пчелиную школу, присматриваясь к их огромному запасу меда • Но как долго продлится его маскировка? • И когда улей окажется под угрозой, сможет ли он, наконец, узнать свое истинное предназначение и стать… Пчелой? • Книга на английском языке • Norman is a bear. A bear who loves honey • According to Norman, there can never be enough honey! And who has the most honey? The bees, of course! • So, dressed up in his very best bee onesie, he thinks he looks quite convincing as he infiltrates Bee School with his eye on their huge honey supply

A howling wind, a thunderstorm, the beating sun – it’s with the elements that nature shows its true force and wonder • In Thunder and Lightning, Guggenheim fellow and Pulitzer nominee Lauren Redniss draws a new account of the weather. She has travelled from the frozen archipelagos of the Arctic Ocean to the ‘absolute desert’ of Atacoma, Chile, to show us the elements at their most extreme. Along the way, through interviews and research, she has unearthed curious stories of exploration, savagery and coincidence – stories which show us how weather has shaped humanity, intervened in the course of history, and how mankind, in turn, has tried to bend the weather to its ends • A book of exquisite beauty, with each illustration etched and coloured by hand, Thunder and Lightning informs, charms and transports

'When someone looks back and writes a history of this summer, two people they will almost certainly leave out are Sue and Daniel Bagnold...' • So begins Joff Winterhart's sublimely funny and perceptive graphic novel, Days of the Bagnold Summer. Sue, 52, works in a library. Daniel, 15, is still at school. This was the summer holidays Daniel was due to spend with his father and his father's pregnant new wife in Florida. When they cancel his trip, Sue and Daniel face six long weeks together • Joff Winterhart perfectly captures the ennui, the tension, the pathos and yes, the affection of this mother-son relationship. Already well-known for his animated films like Violet and Turquoise, he here shows himself to be a comics author of extraordinary talent

Five Artists. Five Styles. All Written by One Author • On 13 August 2013 graphic novelist Karrie Fransman invited four old friends from university to an isolated cottage on the misty moors of the Peak District to join her for a week of hedonism and creativity. Like Shelley and Byron before them, they would use the retreat to tell stories. Except these would be comics, collected together in this very book. The theme? The Death of the Artist • None of the five friends realised how appropriate this theme would become • The book weaves a single narrative across watercolour, digital art, photography, collage and illustration, exploring the themes of creation, destruction, and how we kill our inner artists as we grow up. It takes the graphic novel into entirely new realms

Perhaps no fairy tale is as widely known as 'Beauty and the Beast' - and perhaps no fairy tale exists in as many variations. Nearly every culture tells the story in one fashion or another - such cultural phenomena as The Fault in Our Stars and Me Before You are recent examples - and it is impossible to find one version that laid the foundation for the rest. From Cupid and Psyche, India's Snake Bride to South Africa's 'Story of Five Heads', the partnering of beast and beauties has beguiled us for thousands of years • In this fascinating volume preeminent fairy tale scholar Maria Tatar brings together tales from ancient times to the present and from a wide variety of cultures
