A thrilling debut spooky mystery to send shivers down your spine, for fans of Michelle Harrison and Abi Elphinstone. I am tired of Eve Wersocki Morris being the best-kept secret in children s literature. I want everyone to be reading her mysterious and mesmirizing books. Please do your part. Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events The whistling had started on their first night. At first, Layah thought it was bird song - a high thin sound which became a melody, rising and falling. And each night, it returned. Strange things have been happening to Layah and her younger sister, Izzie, ever since their mother dragged them to a rain-soaked cottage miles from anywhere in the Lake District: there is a peculiar whistling at night, a handful of unusual feathers appear on their doorstep and there are murmurings of a shadowed woman in the forest. And their mother is behaving very oddly. Layah is mourning the loss of her dear grandmother in Poland - and can almost hear her Babcia s voice telling her the old myths and fairy tales from that magical place. And as the holiday takes on a dark twist, Layah begins to wonder if the myths might just be real. A deliciously spine-tingling story with sisterhood at its heart. I loved it. A.F.

â ˜Engaging and highly entertainingâ ™ Sunday Times The dramatic confrontation between the two mighty opposites of the Victorian age, brilliantly recreated by a talented young historian. Gladstone and Disraeli were the fiercest political rivals of the modern age. Their intense hatred was ideological and deeply personal. Victorian Britain ruled the oceans and vast territories on which the sun never set . The vitriolic duel between Gladstone and Disraeli was nothing less than a battle to lead the richest and most powerful nation on earth. To Disraeli, his antagonist was an unprincipled maniac characterised by an extraordinary mixture of envy, vindictiveness, hypocrisy and superstition . For Gladstone, his rival was The Grand Corrupter whose destruction he plotted day and night, week by week, month by month . Victorians were electrified by the confrontation. No wonder that when Lewis Carroll s Through the Looking-Glass appeared in 1871, so many readers recognised the great adversaries as the warring lion and unicorn fighting for the crown . Richard Aldous gives us the first modern telling of this dramatic story of an intense and momentous rivalry. His vivid narrative style - at turns powerful, witty, stirring and theatrical - breathes new life into a familiar, half-remembered tale that is pivotal in Britain s island history. The Lion and the Unicorn is a brilliant rethinking of the Gladstone and Disraeli story for a new generation.Richard Aldous confirms a perennial truth: in politics, everything is personal.
