Until the posthumous publication of the Millennium Trilogy, Stieg Larsson was probably best known for his commitment to left-wing causes, & his tireless work as an anti-fascist activist. Horrified by the rise of far-right extremism in Sweden, he threw himself into monitoring & exposing these often shadowy & violent groups & gained an international reputation for the depth of his achievements & knowledge. However his work carried substantial risks & he & his partner Eva Gabrielsson lived in constant fear for their lives. Jan Erik-Pettersson shows how Stieg's activism & energetic championing of social justice & women's rights characterised his life, as well as demonstrating how these concerns animated his huge-selling Millennium Trilogy, in particular the unforgettable character of Lisbeth Salander. He also persuasively establishes Stieg's place within the explosion of Scandinavian crime with which his novels are so closely associated, showing that in many ways his fiction stands somewhat apart from the work of other authors in this tradition. In Stieg: From Activist to Author, Jan Erik-Pettersson portrays a man willing to put his life at risk in order to fight for the things in which he believed, & an author whose inimitable work was energized by the causes to which he was so strongly committed. ...

Bertie Wooster looks pretty stylish in his new Tyrolean hat ï ½ or so he thinks. Others, notably Jeeves, disagree. But when Bertie embarks on an errand of mercy to Totleigh Towers, things get quickly out of control & heï ½s going to need all the help Jeeves can provide. There are good eggs present, such as Gussie Fink-Notle & the Rev ï ½ Stinkerï ½ Pinker. But there also is Sir Watkyn Bassett JP, enemy of all the Woosters hold dear, to say nothing of his daughter Madeline & Roderick Spode, now raised to the peerage. & Major Brabazon Plank, the peppery explorer, who wants to lay Bertie out cold.

Let me tell you there's much more to my story than glitz & glamour! I will introduce you to a fabulous cast of my friends, family & teachers
- from Nanny Downer, who I used to go to Londis with to swipe cans of Special Brew (she was in a wheelchair, I was 9, she was the Fagin to my Oliver Twist), to Pat my glamorous mum who spent my school fees on a boob job. People say I am the real life Billy Elliot & who am I to disagree?! I have spent my whole life dancing & I'm proof that if you really want something & work hard enough, you too can share the back of a tour bus with the Spice Girls! Not to mention receiving a brand new sofa bed from Gary Barlow. I kid you not. So kick off the spandex, put the kettle on & enjoy. I've Still Got It, Never Lost It, have you? Louie

The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache & his colleagues from the Surete du Quebec to a small village in the Eastern Townships.

Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of Three Pines
- a place so free from crime it doesnt even have its own police force.

But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences & that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets...

Stiff Upper Lips And Baggy Green Caps - A Sledger's History Of The
Ashes

Peppered with bouncers, expletives, and even the odd diplomatic incident, this is a rip-roaring journey through over a century of Ashes history. For a list of every Ashes century and five-wicket haul, try Wisden, but if you want to know which England batsman was a martyr to syphilis and which Australian fast bowler reckoned the Queen had 'nice legs for an old Sheila', then read on... Stiff Upper Lips and Baggy Green Caps exposes the seamy side of Ashes cricket. It gives the inside story behind controversies from the Bodyline series of 1932-33 and the Lillee and Thomson blitzkrieg of 1974-75, right up to the unseemly modern spats that ensure that this biannual frenzy of backbiting, finger-pointing and dubious facial hair remains one of the great events of the sporting calendar.
