Amelia is back at the academy for her final year, and she has much to look forward to: her good friend Marie’s wedding to Third Prince Julius, the birth of the crown prince and princess’s child, and, after her graduation, her own wedding to Fourth Prince Sarge. However, although the countermeasures taken to reduce cold-weather damage to the kingdom’s agriculture have been bearing fruit, there is still much work to be done to combat the food crisis now looming over the entire continent. In particular, the rain-producing magical tools that the Kingdom of Bedeiht provided to the Beltz Empire haven’t been working as intended, an issue which could both jeopardize the already-shaky relations between the two nations and serve as the tipping point for political disputes within the empire. As the developers of the tool, it’s up to Amelia and Sarge to return to the empire to investigate the problem, uncover the truth about the enigmatic empire, and maintain the peace of the continent.

The diary and essays of Brian Eno republished twenty-five years on with a new introduction by the artist in a beautiful hardback edition.'One of the seminal books about music . . . an invaluable insight into the mind and working practices of one of the industry's undeniable geniuses.'GUARDIANAt the end of 1994, Brian Eno resolved to keep a diary. His plans to go to the cinema, theatre and galleries fell quickly to the wayside. What he did do - and write - however, was astonishing: ruminations on his collaborative work with David Bowie, U2, James and Jah Wobble, interspersed with correspondence and essays dating back to 1978. These 'appendices' covered topics from the generative and ambient music Eno pioneered to what he believed the role of an artist and their art to be, alongside adroit commentary on quotidian tribulations and happenings around the world.This beautiful 25th-anniversary hardcover edition has been redesigned in the same size as the diary that eventually became this book. It features two ribbons, pink paper delineating the appendices (matching the original edition) and a two-tone paper-over-board cover, which pays homage to the original design.An intimate insight into one of the most influential creative artists of our time, A Year with Swollen Appendices is an essential classic.
