Paperback. Condition: Very Good. To coincide with the release of a major film adaptation, a new edition of Nigel Slaters much-loved and acclaimed memoir. TOAST is Nigel Slaters truly extraordinary story of a childhood remembered through food. Whether relating his mothers ritual burning of the toast, his fathers dreaded Boxing Day stew or such culinary highlights of the day as Arctic Roll and Grilled Grapefruit (then considered something of a status symbol in Wolverhampton) this remarkable memoir vividly recreates daily life in sixties surburban England. His mother was a chops-and-peas sort of cook, exasperated by the highs and lows of a temperamental AGA, a finicky little son and the asthma that was to prove fatal. His father was a honey-and-crumpets man who could occasionally go off crack like a gun. When Nigels widowed father takes on a housekeeper with social aspirations and a talent in the kitchen, the following years become a heartbreaking cooking contest for his fathers affections. But as he slowly loses the battle, Nigel finds a new outlet for his culinary talents, and we witness the birth of what was to become a lifelong passion for food. Nigels likes and dislikes, aversions and sweet-toothed weaknesses form a fascinating and amusing backdrop to this incredibly moving and deliciously evocative memoir of childhood, adolescence and sexual awakening. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Tim is hugely inventive and manages to feed all the animals successfully without disturbing the gorilla. When the animal-owner comes home, he discovers that there is no gorilla under the sink just a griller to toast his sarnies with.The real gorilla was out for the evening! This, and the other two stories, will have young readers chortling with laughter and Tony Ross's illustrations enhance the text perfectly. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

The first of the CS Lewis Chronicles of Narnia to be made into a movie is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and has been filmed and produced in New Zealand by Disney and Walden Media, with Kiwi director Andrew Adamson.

As wise and perceptive today as it was when it first appeared, Margaret Donaldsons bestselling work is essential reading for anyone interested in child development and child psychology.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A fascinating voyage into the culture, people and sport of the new South Africa by the highly acclaimed author of 'Interior' and 'In Every Face I Meet', short-listed for the 1995 Booker and Whitbread Prizes. Starting with the run-up to the South African elections of 1994, Justin Cartwright has followed the fortunes of the new South Africa over the last two years. In a book which is part travel, part biography, he looks at the country of his birth from a novelist's point of view. He is intrigued by the notion of home, particularly for a white South African writer. From the Venda snake dance to discussions with Nobel Laureate Nadine Gordimer, he pursues the promise of Mandela's inauguration: 'one nation, many cultures.' His quest is by turns comical and moving. He talks to many of the participants in Mandela's inauguration, like the rock star Ray Phiri and the opera singer Sitwell Hartmann , and follows their fortunes. He also follows the Rugby World Cup of 1995 closely, and tries to decide what it signifies in a country where rugby is an almost mystical pursuit. He has long, occasionally Kafkaesque talks with a former gangster in Soweto, with an African mystic, with the Director General of the SABC, and many others black and white as he looks for confirmation of an emerging and new identity. This is a surprising, original, amusing and touching book, set in a time and a place where history is being made. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
