Toksvig sandi (Oltre 1200 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. A funny and beautiful gift book for the adult - (though not quite grown-up) - market. Celebrated inventor of the double-gusset underpant and inveterate traveller, Lady 'Bulldog' Burton's previously unpublished diaries (Volume 1) provide a fascinating account of the grand tour of Europe that she and her maid Jinks undertook together in the late 1880s. Editor, Sandi Toksvig has selected from the detailed journal entries that 'Bully' made throughout her extraordinarily colourful trip to bring her, her peers and the Victorian age vividly to life. In addition, a selection of Jinks' original sketches have been carefully restored by illustrator, Sandy Nightingale. Of particular interest to historians are the episodes involving her initiation into the murky world of French opium dens, her entirely accidental (but triumphant) involvement in the running of the bulls in Pamplona, a curious sojourn at the Italian lakes where she spent a happy time mistaken for Queen Victoria and a rather tiresome week on a Greek shipping vessel where, it is believed, designs for her trademark double-gusset underpant first began to take shape . Nightingale, Sandy (illustratore).…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. From the pleasure of escaping our daily lives and finding laughter, to musing on what makes the world go round and finding solace, poets of all ages have helped us find a way there. In 1996 BBC Bookworm held a poll to find 100 of the nation's best-loved poems. They were published in the Nation's Favourite Poems and featured classics, including Tennyson's 'The Lady of Shalott' and Wordsworth's 'The Daffodils', alongside popular contemporary poems, such as Jenny Joseph's 'Warning' and W.H Auden's 'Stop All the Clocks'. This collection continues to delight and move us with its eclectic mix of favourite poems. Yet, while it contains so many of our best-loved poems, there are a wealth of outstanding poems across the ages that we were unable to include in the collection. To celebrate the richness of poetry in our lives, BBC Books is holding another poll to find more of the nation's favourite poems. Perhaps the anthology will include Byron's poignant, 'So we'll go no more a roving', other outstanding pieces by Auden, Lawrence, Wordsworth and Shakespeare or Edwin Muir's 'The Confirmation'. The anthology will be published this autumn. In June the nation will be able to have its say.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. If you do it right, being a grown-up is just like being a kid . . . but without people telling you off.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Somewhere in cyberland a random group of teens reach a decision. Disillusioned by what few options their futures seem to hold, and desperate to avoid joining the slog of mortgage-owning worker drones, they resolve to cut and run. To leave it all behind and find another way of living. But their destination isn't a far off island, or some city's streets. It is the remote wilds of Scotland and a forgotten forest where nature remains master of all. In those untamed woods the teens will uncover ancient wisdoms, and the last descendent of a breed of human from ages past. They will also come to realise that modern living has in no way equipped them to deal with even the basics of life in the wilderness. The Forgotten Forest is a story of belonging, of learning to deal with life. It's both a comic and serious look at what it takes to survive and, indeed, whether it's really worth the bother.…
