Life is a breeze for Sebastian’s friends, as they play and swoop for scraps in the sunshine. But not for Sebastian Seagull. He can’t join in because he has trouble with his eyesight. When Sebastian narrowly avoids becoming lunch for a hungry tomcat, his mother sends him off in search of the famed seagull eye specialist Dr. Gladstone. And so begins a series of adventures, as Dr. Gladstone’s magical cure allows Sebastian to help his colony, team up with the lovely policewoman, Jenny Wren, and pit himself against characters such as the thieving crow, Clancy Joe. Will Sebastian be able to foil the prowling rogue, Big Ginger Tom? Can he rescue the missing teddy? And will he be able to solve the mysterious case of the stolen wedding ring? Written in humorous rhyming verse and colourfully illustrated, The Adventures of Sebastian Seagull will appeal to children 3–7 years old as well as to those who are young at heart, and love the shorelines and landmarks of coastal British Columbia, where it is set.

Bond is back with a license to thrill. Forty-three years ago, Ian Fleming wrote his last great 007 adventure. Now, in Devil May Care, the world's most iconic spy returns in a Cold War story spanning the world's exotic locations. By invitation of the Fleming estate to mark the centenary of his birth, acclaimed novelist Sebastian Faulks picks up where Fleming left off, writing a tour de force that will electrify every James Bond fan. A fitting tribute to the Bond tradition, Devil May Care stands on its own as a triumph of witty prose and plenty of double-0 action. "In his house in Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkeling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in the late afternoon, then more martinis and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch, and the snorkeling." —Sebastian Faulks

"The day they found my brother with a blood stain, I found one on my kurta too, but no one noticed my blood stain." Thus begins the story of a young girl in Kashmir as she goes through the turbulence of adolescence in her conflict-ridden world. While larger issues of terrorism, violence, and death engulf the hearts and minds of all those around her, she struggles to come to terms with her changing body and all that it entails. Left alone to deal with her constant questions, she experiences despair and loneliness but also shows resilience and hope in the faint knowledge that maybe it is not very different for all young girls around the world: "Is it the same for you?" she asks. With powerful yet sensitive illustrations by Priya Sebastian, which infuse the story with a universality, this beautiful volume is a tender attempt in imagining the different strands of a young life in Kashmir--a place where the inner conflicts of voiceless, adolescent girls are often overshadowed by the political, religious, and military conflicts that are now a constant in everyday life.

The Roaring Twenties are Sebastian's playground until his mother informs him that bad investments have bankrupted the family. He must leave his fiancé and sail to Germany to do what he can. He arrives broke and riding a bicycle. Marlene, who wasn't told her father had sold their failing machine shop to keep the town employed, and who runs the family business, assumes Sebastian is another useless consultant. She hands him an apron, points to a lathe, and puts him to work. Marlene's father agrees to Sebastian's secret. Sebastian falls in love with Marlene's beauty, confidence, and dedication to others. He reluctantly agrees to accompany her to a Hitler rally, and then leaves for Spain, where he meets Concetta, a humanitarian spearheading the movement to defend democracy. She is resolutely bold ahead of her time, and just what Sebastian needs to find himself. They take on Franco's invasion. Franco crosses the border with thirty thousand soldiers. Concetta and Sebastian join five hundred thousand patriots fighting to keep Spain free. They anticipate victory. As Sebastian risks his life he discovers that all of Europe would not be heading for war if it weren't for the actions of one man, who is neither Adolf Hitler nor Benito Mussolini. What Sebastian learns is as appropriate today as it was then. Sebastian's Journey is not just about those we thank for past leadership—it is about us.

Dr Henry Farthingale was due for a break from his language studies at Camford University. His friend and mentor Sir Nicholas Spenser suggested he spent his sabbatical exploring the bird language of the tribes in the jungle at the end of the river. He was intrigued when the little steamboat arrived to find a thriving town not marked on any maps. He was greeted by Savarin, the bank master, and a marching band, dressed in ragged uniforms, which started playing a medley of national anthems as they led him in a procession up the hill to a half-ruined British residence, abandoned years before. Henry was surprised to find a hot English meal awaiting him in the residence dining room, and later to discover that a bed had been made up in another room. His suitcase of clothes had been neatly unpacked and folded into a small lowboy. What was going on? Henry did not believe in fairy stories, but was patient enough to accept, learn and adapt to his new environment. His adventures included love and marriage, the bird trade, a hurricane, bank notes, a witch doctor, wooden carvings, costumes, food, and the devil. Always in the background was the mysterious Sir Nicholas Spenser and the machinations of Camford University.
