Christian Tümpel’s Rembrandt is a completely revised and updated edition of his large art-monograph, which was called ‘a milestone in the Rembrandt research’ (Neue Zürcher Zeitung) when first published in the late 80s, but has since gone out of print. Rare, second-hand copies fetch a huge premium when they come on the market. This new edition will therefore be a much anticipated and welcome addition to the Rembrandt canon, especially in this, more modern format with perfectly reproduced images and published in the 400th anniversary year of the master’s birth.

Maya Saves the Day Maya Saves the Day contains three stories. In ‘The Tiger in Maya’s House’, young Maya creates a satisfying amount of chaos while bravely pursuing an escaped tiger. ‘Maya’s Parents are Very Naughty’ begins with a normal family outing to the shops but when Maya and her baby sister realise that they have become separated from their parents, a very curious Maya eventually finds a solution that lets them know in no uncertain terms how naughty they are for wandering off. I love this story for the real bravery it encapsulates (it is unthinkable that Maya herself might consider herself lost – logically, how can she be when she knows exactly where she is) and because it is so empowering for young children.
