Don Camillo and Company
This is the first wholly new collection of Don Camillo stories to be translated into English for over forty years - novel enchantments for those who already know the hot-headed village priest and his adversary Peppone, the communist mayor, and a very special entr矇 for those who don't.Set against the background of the rise and fall of fascism (Mussolini, Hitler) and post-war communism (Stalin, Khrushchev and Mao's China), the author looks down with hawk's-eye vision into the lives of the ordinary people of La Bassa, and delivers his message with great humour and insight - to cut through prejudice and political correctness and follow one's inner voice rather than any political dogma.'So concerned with the trivialities of everyday life ... and so shrewd.' London Evening NewsABOUT THE AUTHORGiovannino Guareschi, known as Giovanni to his millions of English language readers, was born at Fontanelle in the Valley of the Po on the 1st of May, 1908. His father wanted him to become a naval engineer. He, for the very enjoyment of going the opposite way, determined to become a lawyer, but found his vocation when he sent some cartoons he had drawn to the satirical magazine, 'Bartoldo'. Later he founded the satirical magazine, 'Candido', and wrote 346 stories featuring Don Camillo, a character who has done for Italy what Cervantes Don Quixote did for Spain.

This Side of Paradise
Amory Blaine inherited from his mother every trait, except the stray inexpressible few, that made him worth while. His father, an ineffectual, inarticulate man with a taste for Byron and a habit of drowsing over the Encyclopedia Britannica, grew wealthy at thirty through the death of two elder brothers, successful Chicago brokers, and in the first flush of feeling that the world was his, went to Bar Harbor and met Beatrice O'Hara. In consequence, Stephen Blaine handed down to posterity his height of just under six feet and his tendency to waver at crucial moments, these two abstractions appearing in his son Amory. For many years he hovered in the background of his family's life, an unassertive figure with a face half-obliterated by lifeless, silky hair, continually occupied in "taking care" of his wife, continually harassed by the idea that he didn't and couldn't understand her.

Haggis Rules!
"The Sun Never Sets On The Scots", nor on the Immortal Works of Robert Burns. These original poems pay unique tribute to Mither Scotland, her Bairns and her National Bard. They also salute, and occasionally tease the countless Burnsophiles who celebrate his Life and his Birthday every year, all over the World.Written to entertain those of his ilk at home and abroad, this Scottish author offers a hilarious and frequently thought-provoking collection of poetry in Scottish dialect. These comical yet insightful verses cover subjects and characters cherished by the Scottish diaspora who revere Robert Burns, the man and his natural genius. The title reflects the dominant, albeit tasteful reign of "The Chieftain o' The Puddin-Race" as the traditional formalities of these "Burns Night" celebrations get under way. With absolutely no intention of competing with the genius of Scotland's National Bard, this collection is intended to provide additional fun after all the traditions are observed. Although written in various poetic forms, and some are somewhat unorthodox, they are relatively easy to read or recite. This is achieved by the mix of Broad Scots, Glaswegian and Standard English wording, together with the consistent rhythmic flow and conversational style employed.The author expresses sincere hopes that his readers will derive as much pleasure from "Haggis Rules!" as he has from Rabbie's songs and poems over the years. Illustrating these hilarious verses are the wickedly appropriate cartoons by Scott Relth.
Oh Me Oh I Oh You...just ask the questions
The idea of writing this book was founded on the people whom I have met on the streets or in an establishment in my Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, USA. I summed them up as being bold and strapped with interesting character traits. They never cease to amaze and impress me with their antics, stories, knowledge on world events, laws, local happenings and their opinions on current affairs and religion. They court stamina. More importantly they express themselves without fear...self-induced therapy.

High Times and Crimes in Throbbing Morton
Throbbing Morton is a village in the English Cotswolds. Though there has been human habitation on the site for well over a thousand years, there is no record of it in the Domesday Book and you will find it on no map today. Perhaps it is the boggy fields or the high hedges that have kept it out of public view, it might also have been the great fungal toenail epidemic of 1438 that kept the rest of the world at bay, no one knows for sure. The outcome of all this is that it has bred colourful characters of great distinction. Norbert Dalrymple for instance, very well known around the village itself but little known beyond its bounds. Always seeking to do the right thing, a certain native clumsiness interrupts his best endeavours. Gardenia Horsewhip who found her way there following a disastrous attempt to rediscover the hippy lifestyle of her parents, the village has been a place of refuge for her. Jim Pluckett a sober looking artist who cannot paint for toffee, but whose work is beloved in the William McGonagall tradition of misunderstood art. Then there is Little Pup, the determined daughter of a village ne'er do well who develops an unconventional way of helping her cash-strapped father; and finally, taking a step back into village history, the story of Harry Kane whose actions were universally misunderstood at the time but who we, and history, should judge more kindly.These 5 Tales of Cheer, have been designed to read over a cup of coffee, or whilst enjoying a hygge moment before a roaring log fire, or whilst seeking a moment of calm amidst the storms of life. Welcome to Throbbing Morton, a village that lies just over the next hill; a village of colourful characters waiting to tell you tales of some of its people, tales that have not yet been told but which will uplift, inspire and amuse.
Jar of Fireflies
Jar of Fireflies is a riotous collection of short poems and writings that mine comedy in all aspects of life. Drawing inspiration from Shel Silverstein and Bo Burnham, author Karl Roskamp ponders why amnesia "only happens before (he) take tests" and if procrastination is bad if it means "(papers) take 60 seconds to finish." From there, readers encounter the racy proposition of "Loving Beaches" and meet characters like Figurative Florence and Literal Lawrence. Jar of Fireflies is grounded in relatable humor, blending satire and self-consciousness to bring out the funny side in every day topics from the last day of high school to gridlock traffic. These poems will make readers laugh, think, and possibly shed a tear. Roskamp's poems cover a wide range of material, but his sharp wit and personable sensibilities will keep your attention from start to finish.

Let the Sauce Simmer
Joseph and Josephine Morelli came to America from Italy in 1907 with their three young children and a secret that would go undiscovered for 80 years.
