Bottersnikes and Other Lost Things
Lazy Bottersnikes in outback rubbish tips, Sir Pronoun's dilemma about standing in Miss Noun's place and the story of how Jack built a house, a hut or a shack are all to be found in this treasury of Australian children's books. This book illuminates the icons of Australian children's literature from Gibbs and Outhwaite to Shaun Tan.
Ivor Hele
Ivor Hele was a prolific artist of extraordinary discipline and power. His front-line responses to war, the portraits that won him an astonishing five Archibald prizes in a single decade, his exuberant nudes and his magnificent landscapes cobine to make up a prodigious body of work. Jane Hylton's book focuses on Hele's non-war art, offering a wider view of the man, his exceptional ability and his contribution to Australian art than has been previously available. This book has some of his finest art work, allowing readers to see the genius behind this great artist and activist.
D-Day
Drawing upon a new international archive of the Second World War, the support of veterans world-wide and from archives overseas, the author uses previously unpublished letters, diaries, photographs and reminiscences to tell the story of D Day in a way which brings the reader closer to the actual experience. from an aerial, naval and land perspective the events of D Day are captured superbly in wartime contemporary and retrospective documentation. Each of the beaches is fully represented. American, Canadian and British testimony is supported by new, compelling, German material. Appropriately the RAF and Merchant Navy experience appear as do the contemporary and retrospective reactions of women 'in the know' and those whom knew from 'unofficial sources' of the immediate imminence of the assault. The reader will share in each stage of the day from the experience of paratroops and glider-borne troops to crossing the Channel by sea and at the landings on each beach. The book is profusely illustrated with previously unpublished photographs ad facsimile documentation and provides a treasure-trove of evidence on the 60th anniversary of 6th June 1944

Syster
Marjorie är i nioårsåldern och tycker att hennes familj är världens roligaste. Men en dag i maj försvinner hennes storasyster Miriam, och allting förändras. Föräldrarna deltar alltmer intensivt i sökandet, och under tiden får Marjorie bo hos sin faster Ilse i hennes stora hus vid havet. Ilse berättar historier för henne. Sanna historier om Marjories pappa som tidigt blev faderlös och som var rädd för allting. Påhittade historier om en drottning som slutade tala, och hur hennes tystnad slet sönder kungariket. Men hur sanna är egentligen de sanna historierna – och hur påhittade de påhittade? Med stor inlevelseförmåga följer Bengt Ohlsson vad som händer inom Marjorie...
