Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An Octopus who dreams of stars, a self-important fisherman who gets what's coming to him, and a misunderstood monster, Octopus Medicine is an invitation to adventure for the misfits, the lonely, the outsiders. These three verse stories call us down into another world--the world of the octopus--wher…e days are dark, everything is out to eat you and nothing is really what it seems. Written for young and old alike, this is a collection to be read at bedtime, to be acted out on playgrounds, to be shared with grandparents. In its mysterious way, the octopus has much to teach us. '.Beccis poetry is beautiful, heartbreaking, delicate and powerful at the same time, if I could bottle it I would, it would be the most magical potion ever.' - Laurie Bolger 'This books gift is its ability to reflect us back at ourselves; in its carefully crafted poems we can see our insecurities and our beauties. Moreover, by inviting us to read it together or alone, or both, it celebrates those things that make us different and heals the divisions between us it is a truly remarkable debut.' Claire Dyer 'These lyrical legends propel you into the depths of forgotten fantasies. They whirl you around your own imagination before spitting you out, soaked with stories worth sharing. With masterful poise Becci conjures the perfect mix of spellbinding images, epic narratives and violent verse. The result is electric. This book is for the bullies and the bullied. A must read for misfits. An oceanic adventure for the poetically inclined.' Sara Hirsch. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. If you regularly visit the Reading Central Library, or shop in Kings Walk, or cross the bridge from John Lewis to the Oracle, or live in Mallard Row, Brook Street West or Trelleck Road in Reading, you will know a little of the Holy Brook. Thousand of people use the crossroads at Jacksons Corner wit…hout knowing that theres running water a few feet down. But where does it start? Is it a natural stream or man-made? What is it for? What was it called when the Abbey was still functioning? This unique and secretive waterway has been hurrying through and under Reading for many centuries. Adam Sowan has written the fullest account yet of the Brooks topography, history, archaeology and mythology; Sally Castles map shows the places where you can follow its banks; and Peter Hays illustrations evoke its unique character. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Hay, Peter (illustrator).

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Sally Castles beautifully hand-lettered and illustrated edition of Oscar Wildes The Happy Prince sets the story among Readings parks, squares, rooflines and churches the town thats shaped her and her artwork and where Oscar spent an unhappy period in gaol. This enchanting combination of fairy story… with concrete urban reality, a tale of sacrificial love written with a flourish and swirl, turns a simple book into a gem as precious as the large red ruby that glowed on the Princes sword-hilt.With an introduction by Michael Seeney, author and collector of Wildes work.Sally Castle writes:'Oscar Wildes story, The Happy Prince, was originally published in 1888 and is a tale about doing good deeds to help others. I began illustrating it as a personal project and decided to set the story in Reading the town of my birth and a connection to Oscar through The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Ive portrayed Readings buildings in my artwork over many years and designed public artworks that celebrate its built heritage.After his release, Oscar Wilde was said to have remembered Reading Gaol as a sort of enchanted castle and Ive depicted it as such in the Happy Princes tale. The Prince himself is based on the playing card, Jack of Hearts, who is believed to win his crown through sacrifice for love. I have a reputation for hand lettering and have set the text in a style loosely based on copperplate, written with a pen dipped in Quink ink to give the feel of a sketchbook. Perhaps this is how Oscar wrote it?'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
