  The Story of Little Black Sambo

  Sambo is a South Indian boy who lives with his father and mother, named Black Jumbo and Black Mumbo, respectively. While out walking, Sambo encounters four hungry tigers, and surrenders his colorful new clothes, shoes, and umbrella so they will not eat him. The tigers are vain and each thinks he is better dressed than the others. They chase each other around a tree until they are reduced to a pool of ghee (clarified butter). Sambo then recovers his clothes and collects the ghee, which his mother uses to make pancakes.  Despite controversy concerning the racism of illustrations of other contemporary editions, we reprint the original American Edition by The Stokes Company.  The illustrations therein are more of the type done to illustrate contemporary children’s books, and which do not reflect the patent racism of other editions of Little Black Sambo; editions that clearly pandered to racist sentiment at the time.

  Benito Mussolini

  Benito Mussolini was one of the most consequential and controversial political figures of the twentieth century. As the founder of Fascism and ruler of Italy for more than two decades, he played a central role in shaping European politics during the turbulent years between the two World Wars. His rise, rule, and eventual downfall remain essential to understanding the history of modern Europe. 
   
  Born in 1883 in Predappio, Italy, Mussolini began his public life as a socialist journalist and political activist. Following the First World War, he broke with socialism and developed the nationalist ideology that became known as Fascism. In 1922, after the March on Rome, he became Prime Minister of Italy and gradually transformed the country into a one-party dictatorship. Through propaganda, censorship, and political repression, he consolidated power while seeking to restore Italy's influence on the world stage. 
   
  This biography examines Mussolini's life, political career, ideology, achievements, failures, and lasting impact on world history. Drawing upon memoirs, government records, historical studies, speeches, and contemporary accounts, it explores how one man rose from obscurity to power and became one of the most influential—and controversial—leaders of the modern age.

  Ticket to the World is a joyous, nostalgic celebration of 80s culture from one man at the centre of it all.  
  New Year’s Eve, 1979. My family and I stand arm in arm around our Formica kitchen table, counting down to the new decade with each televised chime of Big Ben. We have no idea what is about to hit us, no idea of the seismic waves of change approaching. 
  The 80s transformed life as we knew it. Music, style and culture exploded in a haze of dayglo colour. There were hardships, but there were opportunities too. And I lived through – and helped to shape – Britain’s last real youth movement. 
  Ticket to the World is my time-warp trip down memory lane, reliving that truly unforgettable decade. Join me as I recall what it was like to lead the New Romantics, stay up all night at the Blitz with Sade and Boy George, travel the world with Spandau Ballet and contribute to the era-defining Live Aid. 
  So, grab that glass of Babycham and let’s toast the very best of the 80s: the creativity and the culture, the fashion and the FUN! 
  In this riveting autobiography, Martin Kemp takes us on a personal journey through the famous and popular culture of the 80s. His memoirs are a rich tapestry of entertainment, social changes, and performing arts that defined the era. 
  For fans of Shirlie Kemp (Pepsi & Shirlie), Paul Mccartney (The Lyrics), Ted Widmer (Lincoln on the Verge), Phil Collins (Not Dead Yet), and Linda Calvey (Life Inside).
