Man from the South is a short, sharp, chilling story from Roald Dahl, the master of the shocking tale. In Man from the South, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors, tells a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a man takes part in a very unusual bet, one with appalling consequences . . . Man from the South is taken from the short story collection Someone Like You, which includes seventeen other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who serves a dish that baffles the police; a curious machine that reveals the horrifying truth about plants; the man waiting to be bitten by the venomous snake asleep on his stomach; and others. 'The absolute master of the twist in the tale.' (Observer ) This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download read by Stephen Mangan. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.

The secret of time travel has finally been discovered. Through a series of extraordinary events, Matt Collins, a 21st century man, is given the opportunity to visit 1896 for a short time. His goal: to locate and bring home the son of a friend, who has vanished while conducting research in that era. While there, he meets the girl of his dreams-but the dream soon turns into a nightmare when he discovers she is destined to die soon. To attempt to change the past and save her could alter his own future-or destroy it. To let her die is unthinkable. As the time draws near for his final chance to return to the 21st century, Matt must make some difficult decisions that could mean life or death for some of those around him. Can his rescue mission succeed? Can he protect his new-found love without altering his own future? And can he get back to his own time or will he be trapped in the past forever? Time is running out, both for the woman he loves and for his return to the present.

My story began when every night a frog came to keep me company on my porch. I decided to call him Frezzie. I told my niece and nephew about my new friend, and from here started a series of storytelling at bath time, dinner time and leisure time, all revolving around Frezzie Frog. Their eager requests to hear more adventures about Frezzie and the giggles we had inspired me to put pen to paper, to never forget how Frezzie bonded us together. Frezzie Frog has human qualities, and his beautiful, funny nature attracts friends from all over. His message is that dreams can come true and that if you believe in yourself and fill your days with laughter, life is beautiful.

From the Booker Prize winner and national bestselling author, reflections on gardening, art, literature, and life Penelope Lively takes up her key themes of time and memory, and her lifelong passions for art, literature, and gardening in this philosophical and poetic memoir. From the courtyards of her childhood home in Cairo to a family cottage in Somerset, to her own gardens in Oxford and London, Lively conducts an expert tour, taking us from Eden to Sissinghurst and into her own backyard, traversing the lives of writers like Virginia Woolf and Philip Larkin while imparting her own sly and spare wisdom. "Her body of work proves that certain themes never go out of fashion," writes the New York Times Book Review, as true of this beautiful volume as of the rest of the Lively canon. Now in her eighty-fourth year, Lively muses, "To garden is to elide past, present, and future; it is a defiance of time."
