  The Narrow Smile is a portrait of the Pathan and their highland home on either side of the Pakistan-Afghan frontier. Peter Mayne grew up in India, and later spent four years on the Northwest Frontier during the Second World War. He delighted in the company of these fierce but hospitable highlanders, who were as hard as the mountains that assured their independence but democratic to the point that no man admitted the right of another to lead him. In 1953, Mayne took a long journey to see what had become of his old friends in the high, flower-filled valleys on the roof of the world. But peace had always been a relative concept on this frontier, where Afghanistan was now eyeing Pashtun lands in a new iteration of the Great Game. Mayne's misadventures are sometimes serious, often very funny, and at all times compassionate.

  DAVID LYNCH 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  David Lynch's 1984 film Dune is an adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel, set in the distant future, involving a conflict for control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the spice melange. The film stars Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides, whose family takes control of Arrakis, leading to a battle with House Harkonnen. The film, shot in Mexico, faced numerous production issues. It was a box office failure, grossing $30.9 million against a $40–42 million budget. Critics gave it negative reviews for its confusing plot, though some appreciated Lynch's visuals. Despite the negative reception, the film has gained a cult following. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The 1984 film Dune was directed by David Lynch, who also wrote the screenplay based on Frank Herbert's 1965 novel. The movie was filmed at Churubusco Studios in Mexico City and featured a soundtrack by the band Toto with a contribution from Brian Eno. 
    
  Dune is set in the distant future and centers around a conflict between noble families fighting for control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the spice melange. The spice is essential for space travel and grants prescience, making it the most valuable commodity in the universe. 
    
  Paul Atreides, the main character, is the heir of a powerful noble family that is given control of Arrakis, which puts them in direct conflict with the former overlords, House Harkonnen. Paul is also believed to be the Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure prophesized by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood.

  Not only a plant lover, Hilton is passionate about propagation, the process of growing a brand new healthy and happy plant from part of an existing one. In this, his fifth book, Hilton talks us through the process of propagating houseplants and explains all the necessary techniques, from the very simplest to more complex methods, such as air layering and grafting. He describes which method to use for different types of plant, and lists essential tools for the process. In Hilton's words: "You hear so much about plant 'parenthood', but knowing how to propagate and then watching as your little plant takes shape and develops into a full-grown plant is the very definition of this."
