It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defense is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang. THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.

With an achievable and practical roadmap to success, The Entrepreneur’s Book is a unique and important book, which will benefit aspiring entrepreneurs and those who are already ‘in business’.

First man on the Moon Neil Armstrong reveals the adventure of the first Moon landing, and how the Earth and the Moon came to be, in this unique non-fiction picture book.A young boy sits up in bed and gazes at the distant Moon through his window. He wonders if, one day, a human will stand on its surface and look back at the Earth. But Earth is already being studied from the Moon. An all-seeing Moon rock of almost impossible age, called Bok, has been looking down at our blue and green planet for millennia.Geologists - people who study rocks - have a saying: 'Rocks remember'. During his time, Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the Earth-shattering collision 4.5 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon, he has seen stars burst into being and meteors streak through the solar system. He has seen his own Moon surface be transformed with craters, and he has watched a fiery, volcanic planet transform into the haven we know today - as mountain ranges rose up, oceans appeared and dinosaurs roamed the Earth.And he found himself rudely awoken one early lunar morning by a strange creature picking him up and throwing him into a box.That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met, and this is their (true) story.

Hlavními hrdiny úspěšné, mezinárodně oceňované a mnohokrát vyznamenané knižní série jsou tak trochu zvláštní holčička jménem Otolína a její nerozlučný kamarád – malý vlasatý tvor z norských močálů zvaný pan Moura. Otolína vášnivě sbírá nejrůznější věci a miluje všechny druhy počasí, zejména však déšť, neboť se ráda čvachtá v kalužích. Obývá apartmá číslo 243 ve dvacátém čtvrtém patře mrakodrapu, který vypadá docela jako pepřenka, takže není divu, že mu také Pepřenka všichni říkají… Otolínini rodiče jsou sběrateli a neustále cestují po celém světě. O Otolínu je v jejich nepřítomnosti ovšem skvěle postaráno, nikdy se necítí osamělá. Společnost jí přece dělá pan Moura a kromě něj holčičce se vším, co je potřeba, pomáhá celá řada dalších neobyčejných společníků. Díky nim se nikdy nenudí! Otolína navíc miluje záhady, stejně jako pan Moura. Oči má pořád otevřené a uši nastražené pro případ, že by se setkala s něčím neobvyklým nebo zajímavým. Její zápisník by mohl vyprávět! Ráda řeší zapeklité případy, vymýšlí chytré plány a přichází věcem na kloub – ostatně, má pro to speciální nadání…A pokud by vás snad zajímalo, jak v sobě tahle zvláštní dívenka objevila své neobvyklé schopnosti, navštivte s ní nevšední školu plnou velmi nevšedních žáků v příběhu Otolína ve škole – bude to určitě nezapomenutelný zážitek! Knihy jsou bohatě ilustrované, nápadité a propracované obrázky srozumitelné dětem se plynule prolínají s textem, což činí z četby velkýzážitek – ať už se do ní ponoří děti, anebo dospělí..

Neverwhere is the stunningly original first novel from Neil Gaiman, the bestselling and prizewinning author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane and American Gods. Wired called it 'the sort of book Terry Pratchett might produce if he spent a month locked in a cellar with Frank Kafka'. This is a must-read for all those who loved Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell or the magical world of J.K. Rowling. Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre. There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining ...And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his native city. Includes extra material exclusive to this Headline Review edition.

Tajemný cirkus vyděsí publikum na jediném mimořádném představení a pak zase zmizí do noci, přičemž si jednoho z diváků vezme s sebou... V novele odehrávající se dva roky po událostech z románu Američtí bohové navštíví Stín staré skotské sídlo, aby vzápětí zjistil, že se stal hlavním účinkujícím v prastarém obřadu zahrnujícím stvůry a smrt... Slavný detektiv Sherlock Holmes musí v Hugem oceněné povídce zasazené do podivně proměněné viktoriánské Anglie vyřešit nanejvýš neobvyklou vraždu člen královské rodiny... Dva chlapci se pozvou na mejdan a setkají se tam s dívkami svých snů - a nočních můr... Členové exkluzivního epikurejského klubu si stěžují, že už ochutnali všechno, co se dá jíst - s výjimkou legendárního, velice vzácného a krajně nebezpečného egyptského ptáka... Osm let poté, co ve velké Británii vyšla kniha Kouř a zrcadla (a o pět let později i u nás), nashromáždil Neil Gaiman dost povídek a jiných kratších literárních útvarů, aby se z nich dala sestavit nová sbírka. Jsou v ní strašidelné, humorné i velice zvláštní příběhy, povídky, které získaly prestižní ceny, i ty, které zatím vyšly jen v naprosto okrajových tiskovinách, na internetu nebo vůbec nikde, a obsahuje také novelu doplňující knihu Američtí bohové. Sbírka získala cenu British Fantasy Awards ve své kategorii za rok 2007.

Jednomu chlapci a jeho sestře se obyčejný večer změní ve změť neobyčejných příhod, když jim rodiče místo slečny na hlídání přivedou piráta s hákem místo ruky a s ním i celou drsnou lodní posádku!

Vytáhněte kotvu, rozviňte plachtu a vydejte se s námi za dobrodružstvím! Skvěle ilustroval Chris Riddell, ilustrátor a spisovatel, který za svou tvorbu získal už pěknou řádku ocenění, mj. i slavnou Kate Greenaway Medal či Costa Book Award.

Poslední kniha ze sandmanovské série. Poetické a melancholické rozloučení s kultovní řadou, v podání těch nejslavnějších kreslířů. Vzhledem k názvu Smuteční hostina, je celkem nepřekvapivé, že je tématem vyrovnávání se se smrtí... ale i důležitost příběhů a vyprávění. Potkáte většinu starých známých a pár zcela nových. Skvělé rozloučení s legendární řadou, kniha, které se dá vytknout pouze jediná věc. Že je poslední.
