Orphaned by the death of her grandmother and her father’s disappearance, 9-year-old Wise Child is taken in by Juniper, a healer and sorceress. Soon enough, the young girl finds herself flourishing under Juniper’s care—learning about herbal lore, and even introductory magic. But just as she begins to feel at home in the Scottish village, the girl’s mother—the black witch Maeve—returns. Forced to choose between Maeve and Juniper, Wise Child has a difficult decision to make. She could stay with Juniper or leave with Maeve and adopt a life of luxury. In making her choice, Wise Child comes to discover her own growing supernatural powers and true loyalties. As the story unfolds, Maeve’s evil magic—a mysterious plague—and the fears of villagers put Wise Child and Juniper in very real danger. Make sure you discover more about this fascinating world in Monica Furlong’s classic prequel, Juniper.

In Brixton, Nora and Dora Chance – twin chorus girls born and bred south of the river – are celebrating their 75th birthday. Over the river in Chelsea, their father and greatest actor of his generation Melchior Hazard turns 100 on the same day. As does his twin brother Peregrine. If, in fact, he's still alive. And if, in truth, Melchior is their real father after all... Wise Children is adapted for the stage from Angela Carter's last novel about a theatrical family living in South London. It centres around twin chorus girls, Nora and Dora Chance, whose lives are brimming with mystery, illegitimacy and scandal. Dora narrates the story as her older self, looking back on a tumultuous life, throughout which she and her sister have loved to sing and dance. A big, bawdy tangle of theatrical joy and heartbreak, Wise Children is a celebration of show business, family, forgiveness and hope. Expect show girls and Shakespeare, sex and scandal, music, mischief and mistaken identity – and butterflies by the thousand.

This amazing book contains the bad behaviors among human beings that are against the transcendental requirements of the Master. Considering the manner that they have been created, they should be able to maintain their intimacy with the great Creator and their own kind. The worldview depicts that humanity functions under two distinctive powers. More than three quarters of the human race is usurped by devil, and the minority is being led by the Master of the universe. The living God reserves the great and final punishment to that particular category of people in the terrestrial sphere; in order to get back on track, he reminds them of the possible path to escape from the kingdom of usurper satan by transforming their bad attitudes to good ones. To get an effective revolution: there should be no double - minded among the revolutionists in order to maintain the conquest. Remember that everyone is entitled to use his power as the specific weapon to constantly triumph; so, be ready to get back to the purpose of being created by removing satan from the podium! Indeed, human beings have to tear down two different kinds of walls: the one with their own kind and another with the Master of the cosmological facts. Henceforth, let's move on!
