But what Anti receives is something completely new: Gearcraft, a skill that allows her to make and control golden gears! What can a restaurant owner's daughter, much less an aspiring adventurer, do with gears? As it turns out, quite a bit.

Can Anti tame the tiara-shaped artifact that calls itself "Crown Gear"? Will she ever become as great as her idol, Purple Lightning? Join her as she gets into gear for a life of adventure!
Created by Richard Carpenter, Catweazle burst onto TV screens in 1970, capturing the hearts of children and adults alike. It starred Geoffrey Bayldon as the eponymous Saxon wizard, who was twice catapulted through time to a 1970s England full of technology that left him bewildered. His companions and mentors in "the new magic" were children, Carrot (Robin Davies) and Cedric (Gary Warren), both of whom he befriended. Tis Magic! Our Memories of Catweazle celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the series with forty brilliant essays in which writers explore how Catweazle has touched their lives. Extensively illustrated, it boasts a foreword by Harriet Whitehouse, daughter of Catweazle's creator, and an afterword by Venetia Davies, wife of Robin Davies. Today, Catweazle is regarded as one of the very best British children's television series. It remains well-loved and boasts a close-knit fan community brought together by the Official Catweazle Fan Club, which benefits from sales of this book.

Now married, the two are off to the seaside, but the trip is anything but a royal honeymoon. The new couple travel to the holy lands by the sea to return Claudio's mana to him and break their mutual curses. But things don't go as planned while they're there. Not only that, but their marriage of convenience may well be becoming something more. Will Claudio ever get his mana back? Will Rosemarie's eyes ever be normal again? Will a bucket forever stand between them? Find out as their fairy tale romance continues!
January 1889… Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson have grown accustomed to the extraordinary, the inexplicable and the downright strange. Mysterious hounds, sinister cabals, ingenious murders and desperate criminals of all stripes. But they are about to face a year unlike any other, as they tackle some of their most challenging cases to date and, in doing so, uncover the dark conspiracy at the heart of The Woman Who Wasn’t. The Woman Who Wasn’t is a Sherlock Holmes anthology with a difference, a series of linked stories that task the Great Detective and his faithful companion with mysteries large and small, personal and political. Missing husbands, government conspiracies, creatures of myth and, of course, murder most foul – the Baker Street duo face some of their greatest challenges yet. Penned by a range of award-winning authors and edited by Kenton Hall, who also provides the central mystery, ‘The Woman Who Wasn’t’ is a fascinating new trip into the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation.
Love Is a Beastly Business! Rumor has it that Princess Rosemarie is an antisocial shut-in, but the truth is far stranger. The young princess hides from the world because of a strange condition: whenever someone expresses a negative emotion, she sees their head transform into that of a fearsome beast. It seems there's no one in the dishonest world of courtly manners she can trust... until she meets Prince Claudio of Baltzar, whose features remain ever human. The two marry at once, but she learns too late that his human features aren't thanks to a kindly nature. Claudio has become a very real beast, all because of Rosemarie's accidental theft of his mana many years prior! Claudio's life and future are on the line until he gets his mana back â and Rosemarie would give anything to know how to do it. Will they break their mutual curse in time for Rosemarie to get home for tea, or will Claudio lose his temper first? Find out in this new romantic fantasy.

The much-loved author Montague Rhodes James is best known today for his ghost stories. Their popularity has kept them in print since the first collection was issued in 1931, and they've earned a cult following. But for all this literary success, his lifetime's correspondence has remained inaccessible in a Cambridge University archive – until now. This first ever collection of his personal letters has been meticulously curated, transcribed and annotated by Jamesian scholar Jane Mainley-Piddock to offer an unprecedented and overdue insight into a great and singular mind. Through notoriously illegible handwriting, we learn of James's fear of spiders and his love of cats; his musings on the work of other contemporary authors; and a whole life's thoughts on a host of subjects – which shed light on the man himself: his family, his work, his relationships and preoccupations. Essential reading for any fan, Casting the Runes brings at last to the fore a writer adored for his fiction who himself has long remained in the shadows.
