A Dream So Big
A Dream So Big is the story of Steve Peifer, a corporate manager who once oversaw 9,000 computer software consultants, who today helps provide daily lunches for over 20,000 Kenyan school children in thirty-five national public schools, and maintains solar-powered computer labs at twenty rural African schools.

Wordlife
In 2012 the High Sheriff's Prize for Literature was for a short story or poem suitable for seven- to fourteen-year-old readers. Wordlife includes the very best of the entries for the competition.

Poetry is like Rhoda's bubble. From nothing, the poet fashions an entire world of meaning and sensation. Poets and readers enter that imaginary, frangible world to escape the 'here and now', and, since we must always return to the 'here and now', a good poem must equip us better to deal with, or understand, it. Whether it s the music in which ...
