Russell Hoban
Spanning more than half a century, Russell Hoban's celebrated literary career won him critical accolades and legions of admirers across multiple genres. Many know him from the groundbreaking masterpiece Riddley Walker, with its twelve-year-old protagonist contemplating 'what the idear of us myt be' from amidst the ruins of civilization. Some know Hoban from the genre-defying The Mouse and His Child, or from idiosyncratic novels of floundering Londoners struggling with writer's block or whether to steal turtles from the Zoo, hallucinating Death as a chimpanzee, or a grapefruit as the head of Orpheus.

I detta porträtt av Russells liv och verk, presenterar A C Grayling både Russells tekniska bidrag till förnuft och filosofi och hans vidspännande åsikter om utbildning, politik, krig och sexualmoral.

Bedtime for Frances
This beloved classic bedtime book continues to spark giggles and is a perfect read-aloud at bedtime. It may be bedtime for Frances, but before Frances can sleep, she needs a glass of milk, a kiss from Father, one from Mother, her teddy bear, her doll, another kiss from Father, and another one from Mother.

Frances the badger made her debut with this title, long a favorite for the gentle humor of its familiar going to bed ritual. 'Here is the coziest, most beguiling bedtime story in many a day.' -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) The big hand of the clock is at 12. The little hand is at 7. It is seven o' clock. It is bedtime for Frances.
