"A serious, well-behaved young black cat, who leads a daring double life defeating vile villains." When Miss Kitty sneaks out to go hunting in her beautiful boots she gets herself into all sorts of scrapes, but on this particular night she meets the foxiest hunter of them all - Mr. Tod! This utterly entertaining tale is filled with mistaken identities, devious villains and even an appearance from Peter Rabbit. Told with Beatrix Potter's trademark dry humour and wry observations, this brilliant tale is sure to become as popular as her original classics and is illustrated by the best-loved Quentin Blake.

It's been 110 years since Frederick Warne published Beatrix Potter's very first book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", and in celebration, we are delighted to be publishing special editions of her entire body of work. Unlike the traditional little white books, these editions have delightful colourful covers and specially designed endpapers. And to make them extra special, we have included a publisher's note to tell you all about the history of how each book came to be. "The Tale of The Pie and The Patty-Pan" features the houses, gardens and streets of the village of Sawrey, where Beatrix Potter lived, at Hill Top, her first farm. The inhabitants, however, are animals rather than people, and problems arise when Ribby, the cat invites Duchess, the dog to tea. "The Tale of The Pie and The Patty-Pan" is number 17 in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.

Postage stamps have only been in existence the past 150 years or so. The author, an architect by profession, describes their birth and traces their development throughout the world by relating them wherever possible to their artistic and social context. He explains how they are produced, examines the characteristics of different printers and designers, and gives advice on methods of collecting. An unusual feature is the geographicallly arranged gazetteer of countries, which will assist in identifying stamps, in locating obscure places of origin, and in tracing the consequences of political upheavals-from the nineteenth-century mergings of German and Italian States to the latest proclamations of independence in Africa. The book has a helpful glossary and three indexes. There are 17 plates in full colour and 502 black and white illustrations. Mr. New concerns himself much more with aesthetics than with technicalities, and after reading his book both the novice and the collector of long standing will truly appreciate the art of postage stamp design.
