Summary

Hornby can trace its roots back to the very start of the 20th century and has since become one of the most iconic names in toy manufacturing, whose toys have delighted generations of children and collectors around the world. Its rich history is intertwined with that of many other famous toymakers, and today Hornby is the custodian of several heritage brands, including Airfix, Corgi and Scalextric. The Hornby Book of Collectable Toys vibrantly tells the story of their magical world of toys, from the early Meccano years through to the present day. Drawing on his experiences as an author, photographer, and interviewer of some of the greatest names in the British toy industry, Arthur Ward brings the industry to life.

  • White Lies Matter - The Gospel of MAWA - cover

    White Lies Matter - The Gospel...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. White Lies Matter: The Gospel of MAWA isn’t just a book—it’s a sermon, a roast, and a history lesson rolled into one blistering satire of American politics. Beneath the bright red MAGA cap, the author exposes what the slogan really meant: Make America White Again. 
 
With wit as sharp as Twain, the bite of Carlin, and the unflinching honesty of Chappelle, this audiobook takes listeners on a journey through America’s not-so-secret gospel of racial nostalgia. From the election of Barack Obama that shook the foundations of white exceptionalism, to Steve Bannon and Donald Trump baptizing a movement in fear, grievance, and privilege, WLM uncovers how the “American Dream” was fenced off and sold as exclusive property. 
 
Each chapter functions like a scripture reading from the Church of MAWA, complete with commandments, proverbs, and revelations that peel back patriotic veneers to reveal the machinery of exclusion underneath. It’s biting, it’s funny, and it’s devastatingly honest—because America’s greatest myths are also its greatest lies. 
 
This is not a quiet audiobook. It’s meant to provoke laughter, outrage, and reflection in equal measure. Whether you’re a believer in the gospel of MAWA or a skeptic watching from the pews, White Lies Matter insists you confront the uncomfortable truth: racism was never a glitch in the system—it was the system. 
 
At once irreverent and illuminating, this is satire that cuts to the bone and asks the question no campaign slogan dares to touch: Whose America are we really trying to make “great” again?

    I Am Here is a courageous memoir that traces one woman’s journey through displacement, betrayal, silence, and survival. Spanning continents and generations, the book moves from childhood migrations to Liberia and Israel into the deeply personal terrain of family fracture, abuse, and unspoken pain. Written with honesty and restraint, this story does not seek to accuse or sensationalize; it seeks to tell the truth. At its core, I Am Here is about generational trauma: how it is inherited, how it harms, and how it can finally be confronted. Through lived experience, the author explores faith, identity, resilience, and the cost of silence, offering a narrative that is as difficult as it is necessary. This book stands as a declaration: survival is not the end of the story; healing is possible.
