The audio of the book
that's taking Britain by
storm! Bestselling
authors Allan and Barbara
Pease spotlight the
differences between the
way men and women think.
They travelled the world
collating the dramatic
findings of new research
on the brain,
investigating
evolutionary biology,
analysing psychologists
research, studying
social change and
annoying the locals. The
result is a sometimes
shocking, always
illuminating, frequently
hilarious look at where
the battle line is drawn
between the sexes, why
it was drawn and how to
cross it. Revealed: Why
men really can't do more
than one thing at a time.
Why women make such a
mess of parallel parking.
Why men should never lie
to women.. Why women
despair about men's
silences. Why men want
sex, and women need
love. Read by Barbara

John Lennon was a writer
as well as a musician. It
was entirely natural for
him to put pen to paper
whenever he had an idea,
a thought, a reaction or
a desire to communicate.
He lived - and died - in
an age before emails and
texts. Pen and ink was
what he turned to. John
wrote letters and
postcards all of his
life; to his friends,
family, strangers,
newspapers,
organisations, lawyers
and the laundry - most of
which were funny,
informative,
campaigning, wise, mad,
poetic, anguished and
sometimes heartbreaking.
For the first time,
John's widow, Yoko Ono,
has given permission to
publish a collection of
his letters. The Editor
is the Beatles' official
biographer, Hunter
Davies, who knew John
well. John's letters are
in a way something of a
mystery - where are they
all? Over the years many
have come up at auction,
then sold to dealers and
collectors. Or they have
been kept by the
recipients, locked up
safely. It has been a
wonderful piece of
detective work tracing
many of these 250
letters, postcards and
notes, which are
arranged in chronological
order, so that a
narrative builds up,
reflecting John's life.
It will be visual - in a
sense that many of the
letters are reproduced as
they were, in his
handwriting or typing,
plus the odd cartoon or
doodle. THE JOHN LENNON
LETTERS is fundamentally
a book to read and study,
providing a unique
insight into the mind of
one of the great figures
of our times. John's
letters are read by
Christopher Eccleston.
Christopher Eccleston is
an English actor who has
had a hugely successful
career in film, TV and

A new, unabridged
reading of the Charles
Dickens classic featuring
the sonorous and
expressive voice of Tom
Baker (Doctor Who).
Ebenezer Scrooge refuses
to accept that Christmas
is a time for peace and
goodwill to all men.
Those less fortunate than
him are charitable, but
Scrooge remains set in
his curmudgeonly ways.
One Christmas Eve,
however, his outlook
begins to change with a
visit from the ghost of
his deceased business
partner, Jacob Marley.
Marley's ghost forewarns
Scrooge of three other
spirits who will come to
haunt him that night--the
ghosts of Christmas Past,
Christmas Present and
Christmas Yet to Come.
Accompanied by these,
Scrooge is granted first
a glimpse of his own past
and then an insight into
the home life of his poor
yet loyal clerk, Bob
Cratchit. Scrooge looks
on with something
approaching pity as the
Cratchits, gather around
a paltry table to
celebrate the festive
season. Is the sight of
others' hardships,
coupled with a dark
vision of what the future
may hold, enough to make
Scrooge see the folly of
his ways? Read by Tom

In the late 1970s in
rural Shropshire,
eighteen-year-old Malcolm
Castle became a fireman
so he could rush into
burning buildings to save
fair damsels in distress.
He didn't realise he
would also be jumping
into slurry pits and
rivers to rescue cows,
horses and any number of
other unfortunate
animals. Nothing about
the country fire service
was quite what Malcolm
expected when he joined
the watch in Shrewsbury.
Yes, he had to face the
heart-stopping dramas and
tragedies of farm and
house fires, but as the
newest member of the
service he was also first
in line when swans
terrorised the high
street - and when a flock
of owls got stuck on the
roof of his local pub.
This was a time when
crews tackled fires
wearing plastic leggings,
plastic gloves and cork
hats covered in highly
flammable gloss paint,
and his early days on the
service, in the late
1970s and early 80s,
were eventful to say the
least. Funny, moving and
gloriously nostalgic,
All Fired Up paints a
unique portrait of rural
Britain - and shows just
how surprising a
fireman's life can be.

if he would ever fall in
love again, he met the

Read by David Rintoul.
There is an old, empty
house in Devil's Cleave,
a deep gorge that leads
from the high moors down
to the harbour village of
Hollow Bay. The house is
Crickley Hall and it's
large and grim, somehow
foreboding. It's rumoured
to be haunted. It's
thought to hold a secret.
Despite some
reservations, the
Caleighs move in,
searching for respite in
this beautiful part of
North Devon, seeking
peace and perhaps to come
to terms with what's
happened to them as a
family. But all is not
well with the house. They
hear unaccountable
noises. A cellar door
they shut every night is
always open again in the
morning. They see things
that cannot be real. The
house is the last place
the Caleighs should have
come to, for the terror
that unfolds in beyond
belief. Soon they will
discover the secret
horror of Crickley
Hall... Adapted as a
major BBC One television
series.

Stephen Fry praised
Julian Fellowes previous
novel, Snobs, as ?a
guilty treat. A Sunday
Times bestseller, it won
praise and an
enthusiastic readership
across the world. Its
successor, Past
Imperfect, is another
treat, an enthralling
comedy of manners, but
with an intriguing
conundrum at its heart.
Damian Baxter is very
rich and dying. He lives
alone, attended by
chauffeur, butler, cook
and a housemaid, a life
of everything and
nothing. Before he goes
he needs to know if he
has a living heir. At
stake is his fortune in
excess, he reckons, of
?500 million. By the time
he married he was sterile
(the result of adult
mumps in his early
twenties), but what
about before that
unfortunate illness? Had
he fathered a child as a
young man? An anonymous
letter from twenty years
before suggests so. But
finding the truth will
not prove easy, as the
only man who knows where
to look is Damians sworn
enemy. Often funny and on
occasion even shocking,
the twists and turns of
Past Imperfect will leave
readers as intrigued as
Damian at the eventual
outcome. Just as in his

Clara Casey has more than
enough on her plate. Her
daughters Adi and Linda
were no problem during
the usually turbulent
teens. Now in their
twenties, Adi is always
fighting for or against
something: the
environment or the whale
or battery farming; while
Linda lurches from one
unsatisfactory
relationship to the next.
As if this wasn't enough,
Clara, a senior cardiac
specialist, has a new
job to cope with ? and
now her ex-husband wants
something from her. For
Anya, meeting Clara
Casey is a miracle. She
never intended to leave
Poland ? but the love of
her life turned sour.
Perhaps a new job in a
new country will mend her
broken heart? Now, newly
arrived in Ireland, one
minute she's washing car
windscreens and the next
she is assistant to Dr
Clara Casey. Declan is
looking forward to
joining the clinic, but
what should have been a
straightforward six-month
posting brings him far
more than medical
experience. Then there's
Father Brian Flynn, who
finds his doubts about
his calling are assuaged
by work in his new
parish, until a
nightmare acquaintance
threatens his reputation.

Here are the Greek myths
as you've never heard
them before. Susan is
whisked back through time
to Ancient Greece, and
finds that helping
Hercules clean the Augean
stables is much, much
worse than tidying her
room. One hair-raising
experience follows
another as she goes down
into the Underworld with
Orpheus, just misses
being turned to stone by
Medusa, and rides on the
winged horse Pegasus.
This is both a fabulously
funny story and a
brilliant way to
introduce children to
eight of the best-known
Greek myths. Susan
meddles in each of the
myths - taking a dim view
of the gods and goddesses
and heroes she encounters
- but gets out in the
nick of time, so the
myths themselves remain
unchanged and will be
remembered vividly by
their readers. Read by
Mark Perry. Mark Perry of

None. Q. Do you interview
people at the venues you

you surprised how well
the broadcasts were
received on Radio 4? A.
Chris was surprised. Des
was shocked. Q. If you've
already heard the radio
broadcasts, should you
bother to buy these CDs?
A. Definitely, because
the recordings get better
with age - like Des and
Chris. Q. If you haven't
heard the broadcasts
should you buy these CDs?
A. Definitely, otherwise
you'll have missed a
whole experience. Q. Do
you plan to do a TV

the state of us recently?
