  The Book of Five Rings

  Miyamoto Musashi

  The Book of Five Rings is a text on Kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: For instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. 
  Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle.

Perfect for fans of The Clackity and The Swifts.Lilac Black does not believe in ghosts. She knows the séances her uncle conducts aren’t real. So when Lilac pretends to talk to a spirit to get him out of a tight spot, she expects a scolding, not a celebration.

But as the only Unseeing student at a boarding school full of Seers, she has to bluff her way through classes like Summoning, Banishment, and Theory of the Beyond. As if her big deception wasn’t enough, something is very wrong on campus.Spirits send cryptic messages warning of danger, and every ghost at Spindlewood seems drawn to a secret door deep in the library basement. Something is waiting down there…something related to the long-ago deaths of Lilac’s parents. Lilac and Emmanuelle will need to use all their powers—or at least their wits and courage—to save Spindlewood from a terrifying fate.

  Delight in the whimsical world of childhood through the writing of some of the most beloved poets in English literature. Selected Poems for Children brings together works by Robert Louis Stevenson, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Hilaire Belloc, and Robert Browning—poems that brim with imagination, humour, and unforgettable characters. 
  In this charming collection, Simon Hester's warm, engaging narration and evocative music bring to life timeless classics such as Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verse, Lear's eccentric Nonsense Poems, Carroll's fantastical Jabberwocky, and the misadventures of The Hunting of the Snark. You’ll also enjoy Belloc's somewhat macabre Cautionary Tales and the tragic story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin—all narrated with the perfect blend of joy and intrigue that children (and the young at heart) will treasure.
