The Tales and Tails of a...

Peter Wright

The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
"My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
"It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."

James Yun: Yun’s Time

James Yun

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
From Hollywood to the Power Plant. From poverty to the spotlight. From heartbreak to hope. 
James Yun’s journey is not just the story of a wrestler—it’s the story of a fighter. Growing up in a broken home, raised in poverty and strict religious control, James refused to let his beginnings define his ending. His dream of becoming a professional wrestler carried him from neighborhood trampolines to the WCW Power Plant, and eventually onto national television as part of WCW’s high-flying Jung Dragons. 
But the road was never easy. He was the youngest wrestler ever signed to WCW—only to lose it all within months. He faced rejection, betrayal, and heartbreak. Yet every time life knocked him down, James got back up. From late nights at “Good Ol’ Days” to the bright lights of WCW Saturday Night, from the collapse of WCW to his second chance with WWE—this is the story of a boy who became a man chasing his destiny. 
Yun’s Time is more than wrestling—it’s about grit, sacrifice, and the relentless belief that no matter how many times the world counts you out, you can still rise. 
Step inside the ring with James Yun. His fight is just beginning.

A Gift of Joy and Hope

Pope Francis

In this encouraging book, Pope Francis explores the meaning of true joy and offers an inspiring message: even in dark times, the light of hope can shine bright.   The past few years have been extremely challenging, but even in dark times, the light of joy can shine bright.   True joy, says Pope Francis, is not a fleeting sentiment or a short-term solution to suffering; it springs from a solid hope that nothing and no one can take away.   A Gift of Joy and Hope is an invitation to embrace authentic beauty and a reminder to be open to encountering God, even in the midst of challenges. In this inspiring collection, Pope Francis encourages readers to change attitudes that exclude others; to reveal the deep dissatisfaction we all hide; and to overcome life’s challenges with courage and faith. He also challenges readers to hope without pessimism or doubt, to hope even in the midst of anxiety, to recognize the beauty all around us, and to let God show us how to deal with your doubts and fears.   This book aims to encourage readers to look outside themselves and believe that hope is still possible and that joy always has the last word.

Hitler's Girl - The British...

Lauren Young

A timely, riveting book that presents for the first time an alternative history of 1930s Britain, revealing how prominent fascist sympathizers nearly succeeded in overturning British democracy—using the past as a road map to navigate the complexities of today’s turn toward authoritarianism. 
Hitler’s Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism nearly took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details the pervasiveness of Nazi sympathies among the British aristocracy, as significant factions of the upper class methodically pursued an actively pro-German agenda. She reveals how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on the complacence and complicity of the English to topple its proud and long-standing democratic tradition—and very nearly succeeded. 
As she highlights the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations like the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking four-year affair between socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler. 
Eye-opening and instructive, Hitler’s Girl re-evaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities and poses urgent questions we must face to protect our freedom. At what point does complacency become complicity, posing real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted? Will democracy again succeed—and will it require a similarly cataclysmic event like World War II to ensure its survival? Will we, in our own defining moment, stand up for democratic values—or will we succumb to political extremism?
