Chiltern creates the most beautiful editions of the WorldÂ’s finest literature. Your favourite classic titles in a way you have never seen them before ; the tactile layers, fine details and beautiful colours of these remarkable covers make these titles feel extra special and will look striking on any shelf. This book has matching lined and blank journals (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own. Mansfield Park By Jane Austen tells the story of Fanny Price, a frail, quiet young woman who has none of the high spirits or wit of Elizabeth Bennet or Marianne Dashwood. Reared from the age of ten among wealthy relatives, Fanny is an unobtrusive presence in the household at Mansfield Park, useful and agreeable to everyone and steadfast in her secret affection for her cousin, Edmund Bertram. FannyÂ’s manner contrasts sharply with the livelier, sometimes careless behavior of her cousins and their friends. Only Edmund spends time with the gentle Fanny, although his own affections have been captivated by the sophisticated Mary Crawford. With FannyÂ’s uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, away on an extended stay in the West Indies, the cousins and their friends decide to put on an amateur theatrical production of a scandalous French play. Only Fanny refuses to participate, out of natural modesty and a certainty that her absent uncle would not approve. Sir Thomas returns unexpectedly and does not approve, much to his childrenÂ’s chagrin, but Fanny quickly falls from his favor when she refuses the proposal of Mary CrawfordÂ’s brother, Henry, who had begun an unwelcome flirtation with her after FannyÂ’s cousin Maria married another man. Distressed by her uncleÂ’s disapproval, Fanny visits her parents and her eight brothers and sisters, only to discover that her years at Mansfield Park have left her unable to fit easily into her noisy, often vulgar family. She is summoned back by Sir Thomas when Maria leaves her husband for Henry Crawford and MariaÂ’s sister, Julia, elopes. Now fully appreciated by her uncle, Fanny comes into her own, winning the love of Edmund Bertram.

The Sunday Times bestseller and the definitive story behind the ITV factual drama White House Farm, about the horrific killings that took place in 1985. On 7 August 1985, Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter Sheila and her two young sons Nicholas and Daniel were discovered shot to death at White House Farm in Essex. The murder weapon was found on Sheila s body, a bible lay at her side. All the windows and doors of the farmhouse were secure, and the Bambers son, 24-year-old Jeremy, had alerted police after apparently receiving a phone call from his father, who told him Sheila had gone berserk with the gun. It seemed a straightforward case of murder-suicide, but a dramatic turn of events was to disprove the police s theory. In October 1986, Jeremy Bamber was convicted of killing his entire family in order to inherit his parents substantial estates. He has always maintained his innocence.Drawing on interviews and correspondence with many of those closely connected to the events â “ including Jeremy Bamber â “ and a wealth of previously unpublished documentation, Carol Ann Lee brings astonishing clarity to a complex and emotive case. She describes the years of rising tension in the family that culminated in the murders, and provides clear insight into the background of each individual and their relationships within the family unit.Scrupulously fair in its analysis, The Murders at White House Farm is an absorbing portrait of a family, a time and a place, and a gripping account of one of Britain s most notorious crimes.

Freedom From The Seven Deadly Sins is a concise yet powerful exploration of the human condition through the lens of Scripture. Originally adapted from Billy Graham s impactful radio sermons, the book dives deeply into the seven cardinal sins--pride, anger, envy, impurity, gluttony, laziness, and greed. Graham unpacks each sin with clarity and compassion, illustrating its damaging effects on individuals and society. The book doesn t just diagnose these spiritual maladies; it offers actionable steps, rooted in biblical wisdom, for overcoming these destructive patterns and embracing God s transformative grace.The resurgence of interest in topics like morality, spirituality, and self-help creates fertile ground for revisiting the concept of the seven deadly sins. Current trends reveal: Moral Anxiety: In a world grappling with rapid cultural shifts, many seek a moral compass to navigate issues like greed, vanity, and anger.Renewed Interest in Ancient Wisdom: Platforms like podcasts, blogs, and social media are reviving interest in traditional virtues and vices, often using secularized or philosophical approaches.Mental Health Focus: Pride, envy, and anger frequently appear as underlying factors in discussions on anxiety, depression, and relational breakdowns.The book s straightforward, biblically grounded approach makes it accessible for a wide range of readers, but the deeper philosophical and theological reflections are likely to resonate more strongly with adults who are at a stage of life where they are engaging with their spiritual journey in a meaningful way.This book is perfect for:Readers seeking spiritual growth and clarity amidst modern moral dilemmas.Faith-based counselors and church leaders looking for discussion material.Individuals who feel burdened by guilt and seek a redemptive path forward.By blending biblical truth with relatable insights, Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins equips readers to break free from the snares of sin and step into the abundant life God desires for them.Billy Graham s approach uniquely combines timeless Christian principles with practical guidance, providing readers a hopeful and redemptive path forward. Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins now includes a special Pray the Scriptures section with specially chosen verses to help readers overcome the grip of the seven deadly sins and find God s help and direction, along with the hope and freedom they need to live in peace.
