It's not easy feeling forgotten. This was never more true than the Christmas Eve when Finnegan Easton V turned ten years old. It wasn't easy living in Snowdenbeld where snowfall was prevalent 282 days a year. But even worse . . . being the eldest son and future heir of the Easton family estate was a fate Finn would have given anything to relinquish. He had come to dread birthdays, and this one was turning out to be the worst. So awful in fact that Finn devised a plan to run away that very night. Just before the strike of midnight, however, Finn found himself the owner of an intriguing family gift which had been passed down for generations. But this was no ordinary object . . . in fact, it held the secret of a forgotten history thousands of years old. Within the flurry of a moment, Finn's world is turned upside down as the mysterious object transports him to a land where the true meaning of Christmas has been forgotten: The Land of NO Christmas. A land arrested in time, a land ruled by a terrifying king, a land awaiting the arrival of a promised child who would restore everything . . .

T. S Eliot's Old Possum's Practical Cats finally gets the companion volume that Eliot had envisaged. First published in 1939, T. S. Eliot's best-selling, much-loved collection of practical cat poems, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, has become one of the most successful poetry collections in the world. Now, an official canine companion will be available.Written by award-winning poet – and like Eliot himself a fellow former editor of Faber and Faber - Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dogs is the first companion volume to Eliot’s original volume. Originally conceived by Eliot himself, Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dogs includes a selection of paired poems about all manner of memorable "pollicles" (Eliot’s companion name to his "jellicle" cats) that are as witty, varied and exquisitely compiled as Eliot's cats.Meet Dobson the Dog Detective, Flo the Philosophical Foxhound, and Frazzlesprat, a dog who would really rather be a cat and a host of other humorous hounds.
