Maud Humphrey
Maud Humphrey was one of the most popular illustrators in America at the turn of the century. Unfortunately, through the years, Maud's impact on American illustration was lost, until it seemed her only claim to fame was as the mother of Hollywood legend Humphrey Bogart. However, Maud's role on the American art scene was as remarkable as any role her son ever played on stage or screen. Today there is a resurgence of interest in Maud Humphrey's work, and that interest has prompted this book. It is a look at a young woman growing up in her. Maud went beyond the limitations to become an early suffragette; she maintained her art career even after marriage and a family. Many of her images grace the pages of this biography and bring her art to life.

J. R. R. Tolkien: Elämäkerta, Ljudbok
Tarutaiturin elämän sykähdyttävä syväluotaus. Humphrey Carpenterin J. R. R. Tolkien: Elämäkerta esittelee kattavasti hobittien ja Keski-Maan luojan matkan köyhästä orpopojasta maailman suosituimmaksi fantasiakirjailijaksi. J. R. R. Tolkienin omiin arkistoihin ja suvun sekä ystävien haastatteluihin perustuva elämäkerta kertoo kiehtovan tarinan muinaiskielistä kiinnostuneesta pojasta, joka kehitteli omia ”haltiakieliään” ja niiden puhujille sankarillisen historian. Aineksista syntyi miljoonien lukijoiden rakastama Taru Sormusten herrasta, jonka maailmaa Tolkien hienosääti koko ikänsä ja toimi samalla arvostettuna professorina Oxfordissa. ”Yksi mielenkiintoisimmista ja nautinnollisimmista kirjallisuuden suurnimien elämäkerroista.” The Times J. R. R. Tolkien: Elämäkerta julkaistaan tarkistettuna suomennoksena Tolkienin syntymän 130-vuotisjuhlan kunniaksi. Humphrey Carpenter (1946–2005) oli brittiläinen elämäkerturi ja radiotoimittaja, joka ehti itse tavata J. R. R. Tolkienin ennen tämän kuolemaa 1973. Carpenter on kirjoittanut myös Tolkienin kirjallisesta ystäväpiiristä kertovan teoksen The Inklings ja toimittanut Tolkienin Kirjeet-kokoelman (WSOY 2009).

Sabrina Carpenter
“An empowering, visually dazzling look at a self-aware and engaging young entertainer.” —Kirkus Reviews Celebrate the achievements and fashion of the Short n’ Sweet pop princess in this lush biography. From the main character’s best friend to Grammy Award winner, Sabrina Carpenter won two Grammys in 2025 for Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Espresso.” With a number of catchy singles featuring tongue-in-cheek lyricism, it is no surprise that Sabrina Carpenter has made a name for herself as a modern pop princess.
