The Despair of Monkeys and Other Trifles
Francoise Hardy is best known in Europe for originating the famed 'Ye-Ye' sound in pop music which began a cultural scene in the early 1960s. Her teenage success grew as she became a much-photographed fashion model and actress. Adored for her shy beauty and emotional songwriting, she sang hit songs in French, Italian, and German. In The Despair of Monkeys and Other Trifles, she bares her soul and tells the truth of her relationships, fears, and triumphs as well as the hard-won wisdom carved from a life well-lived.

Françoise Hardy
"L'amour fou a inspiré toutes mes chansons." Françoise Hardy a traversé les générations avec élégance. En 1962, à 18 ans, elle devient star en quelques mois, chantant de sa voix douce la difficulté d'aimer, tandis que les icônes du rock (Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Bob Dylan) succombent tour à tour à son charme. Bientôt, ses chansons sont reprises dans le monde entier. A cette époque, le photographe Jean-Marie Périer occupe toutes ses pensées. Amour sublimé, unique, exclusif. Quelques années plus tard, l'égérie longiligne des sixties formera un couple mythique avec Jacques Dutronc. Et connaîtra d'autres idylles... tumultueuses. De la toute jeune fille qui composait des mélodies dans sa chambre du quartier de la Trinité à la femme mûre adressant des "messages personnels" poignants dans ses récits autobiographiques, Frédéric Quinonero retrace le parcours d'une personnalité qui, par l'écriture et le chant, a tenté d'élucider le mystère de la relation entre un homme et une femme. Avec une grâce exigeante, elle a construit une oeuvre cohérente, mêlant l'intime à l'universel. Françoise Hardy, une icône qui s'ignore ?

The Mouse that Cancelled Christmas
After a traumatic bauble-related incident when he was a baby, Mouse has decided that getting in the festive spirit is far too dangerous - from sharp pine needles on the Christmas tree, to paper cuts from wrapping paper, to sneeze-inducing clouds of icing sugar for decorating the gingerbread biscuits. How will the other animals in Jingle Bell Forest persuade him to loosen up? Find out in this warm and comical Christmas tale! The festive spirit triumphs over petty rules and box-ticking in this funny and feel-good story. Children will love the sheer silliness of the humour while parents will laugh at its satirical dig at the health-and-safety obsessions of modern life. But ultimately there's a warm and engaging message: like Scrooge or the Grinch, Mouse is an anti-hero saved by the power of Christmas!
