  "When We Were Very Young" is a book of poetry for children by the legendary British author A.A. Milne and marks the first appearance of the "silly old bear" who would soon become a worldwide sensation: Winnie-the-Pooh.   In these poems, the narrator - a young boy named Christopher Robin (after Milne's own son) - navigates the world of adolescence, imagining kings and queens, questing knights, talking bears, imaginary friends and explores the curiosity and wonder of the grown-up world seen through the eyes of a child.   "When We Were Very Young" - the first book of the Winnie-the-Pooh series - was an immediate hit when it was first published in 1924 and spawned the next three Pooh books: Winnie-the-Pooh, Now We Are Six and The House at Pooh Corner. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

  Eighty Four is a new anthology of poetry on the subject of male suicide in aid of CALM (campaign against living miserably). Poems have been donated to the collection by Andrew McMillan, Salena Godden, Anthony Anaxogorou, Katrina Naomi, Ian Patterson, Carrie Etter, Peter Raynard and Joelle Taylor while a submissions window yielded many excellent poems on the subject from both known and hitherto unknown poets we are thrilled to have been made aware of.
  
  Curated by poet Helen Calcutt, Eighty-Four showcases human vulnerability in all its forms. From the baby in the bath who knows daddy is gone, to the woman whose father haunts her through the window, here is a diverse collection of voices, delicately speaking the intense difficulties of the human predicament, courageously engaging with the profound impact that male suicide is having on all of us. There's a glittering strength to this volume, because of the honesty from which its poems have been created, giving this book the truth it was seeking.
  
  We hope to shed light on an issue that is cast in shadow, and often shrouded in secrecy and denial. If we don't talk, we don't heal, and we don't change. In Eighty Four, we are talking. Are you listening?

  A virtuosic study of one man's descent into religious mania in small-town Ireland.
  Inishfree might seem like a quaint Irish town, but fierce evangelist Thomas Magill knows better. He knows that jovial Dwain Flynn is a miserable drunk, that Timmy O'Leary enslaves his lovely mother, and that sweet Mrs Cleary is a blasphemous flirt.
  It is down to Thomas, with God on his shoulder, to save this sinful place. But the townsfolk are not listening, an angel is misbehaving and a barking dog will not be silenced. Just how far will Thomas go in his quest for salvation?
  This new edition of Enda Walsh's Misterman was published alongside the 2012 production at the National Theatre starring Cillian Murphy.
  'a fantastic, whirring monologue of small town life and flickering faith... a ninety-minute rollercoaster, kaleidoscopic in mood and construction, a perfectly realised stage poem' WhatsOnStage
  'a terrific study of religious mania, loneliness and longing' The Arts Desk

  When Patrick is eight years old, his absent father returns unexpectedly for a brief but memorable encounter.

  Three Kings by Stephen Beresford is a heartbreaking and hilarious play for a solo actor about fathers and sons, the gifts and burdens of inheritance, and the unfathomable puzzle of human relationships.
  It was written for Andrew Scott to perform as part of Old Vic: In Camera, a series of live performances streamed from The Old Vic, London, in 2020. This edition includes an introduction by the director Matthew Warchus.
