Sinossi

E. F. Benson's "The Complete Dodo Trilogy" encompasses the delightful escapades of the bumbling yet endearing character, Dodo. Comprising 'Dodo: A Detail of the Day', 'Dodo the Second', and 'Dodo: A Detail of the Night', this trilogy employs a light-hearted, satirical style characterized by Benson's keen wit and astute observations of human behavior. The narrative unfolds in early 20th-century England, a period marked by societal shifts and evolving norms, cleverly reflecting the broader cultural context through the lens of comedy and character-driven storytelling. Benson's mastery of dialogue and physical humor creates an engaging atmosphere that invites readers to laugh while contemplating the quirks of upper-class society. E. F. Benson was a prolific English author known for his sharp social critique and his acute understanding of the human condition, which were likely informed by his own experiences as a member of the British elite. Born into a literary family, he was well-versed in the intricacies of social dynamics and self-presentation. This background, combined with his prowess in crafting memorable characters, enables him to penetrate the façades of society with both humor and insight in this unique trilogy. Readers will find "The Complete Dodo Trilogy" an enriching encounter with life's absurdities, and it is highly recommended for those who appreciate a mix of humor and social commentary. Whether you are familiar with Dodo's adventures or a newcomer to Benson's oeuvre, this collection promises to entertain while prompting reflections on the intricacies of life and societal conventions.

    In the tiny European country of Tantalia, Princess Niobe is being groomed to ascend to the throne. What her people don’t know is that from the age of sixteen, the Princess has been trained by her martial arts instructor, Gethan, to kill the businessman responsible for her parent’s deaths. Once Queen, she will have ‘sovereign immunity’ and be free to kill without the risk of arrest. 
    Niobe strikes, but unbeknownst to her, one of her kills is caught on camera and she is identified as the assassin. Her people, however, seem accepting of the idea and of their Queen’s unconventional activities. Then a TV producer comes to her with a novel idea – how about a reality tv show about her next kill? 
    Safe in the knowledge she can’t be prosecuted Niobe contemplates the offer... but there are more questions than answers... for a start – how will the world respond to a sovereign assassin? 
    Sovereign Assassin is a rollicking romp of a story, fresh from the mind of speculative fiction/fantasy author Robert New, and promises to entertain, intrigue, and fascinate from beginning to end. 
    "Original, interesting, entertaining, and exceptionally well written, Sovereign Assassin by talented novelist Robert New is a simply riveting read and an especially and unreservedly recommended pick." - Midwest Book Review (October 2023) 
    "A thrilling, fast-paced book...run through with a seam of genuinely deep philosophy." - Read Freely

    The feelgood, romance, guaranteed to make you smile from bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
    Some days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel as if she is ‘living her best life’. 
    Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she’s good at, and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no one actually ‘sees’ her.  
    Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca Donato does not have that problem. People are practically falling over themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in common, is they haven’t yet found the ‘One’. When their friend Tia challenges them to change all that through online dating, Luca and Bee set about the task with very different levels of enthusiasm. 
    The saying goes that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, and it’s not long before Bee is ready to admit defeat. But with Luca inundated with potential love interests, Bee is determined not to give up. Surely her perfect partner is out there somewhere…
