  As winter's first snow falls, there's not much Christmas cheer in Sherwood Forest. Cupboards are bare, the nights are cold, and the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham squeezes his citizens for every penny they're worth.
  But deep in the forest, in the heart of the Major Oak, Robin and Marian are plotting an audacious scheme to bring some festive joy to all…
  This charming retelling of the Robin Hood legend by Chris Bush, with music by Matt Winkworth, was first performed at Rose Theatre, Kingston upon Thames, in 2024, directed by Elin Schofield.
  Robin Hood and the Christmas Heist was commissioned by the Rose to be performed by members of the Rose Youth Theatre alongside four professional adult actors – and offers a wealth of opportunities for other theatre companies who want a merry Christmas classic that hits the target.

  WB Yeats: Selected Poems -...

  William Butler Yeats

  William Butler Yeats, the first Irishman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, is not only one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century but one of the most widely read. The landscape, myths, legends, and folklore of his homeland lie at the heart of his poetic imagination, and the unique musicality of Ireland adds to the richness of his verse. But the themes of his poetry are universal and timeless: the conflict between life and death, love and hate, and the meaning of man’s existence in an imperfect world. 
  This collection includes such favorites as “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” and “When You Are Old,” as well as two of his longer narrative works, “The Old Age of Queen Maeve” and “Baile and Aillinn.” It traces the poet’s artistry from his early days as a dreamy, late-romantic poet into one of the most individual and visionary voices of twentieth-century verse.

  The Book Club Boyfriend Effect

  The Book Club Boyfriend Effect is a sharp, warm exploration of how fictional love interests quietly shape our real expectations of romance. Starting from the familiar scene—a group of readers swooning, roasting, and dissecting the latest “book boyfriend”—it shows how those conversations become rehearsal spaces for our ideals, our secret fears, and the stories we tell about what we’d “never” tolerate. 
  The book unpacks how we co-create these perfect partners in our heads, then compare real people to carefully orchestrated character arcs, often without realizing it. At the same time, it argues that fiction can expand our sense of what’s possible: respect, consent, emotional literacy, and tenderness that we might never have seen modeled elsewhere. Instead of blaming books or glorifying fantasy, The Book Club Boyfriend Effect helps readers separate aesthetic tropes from non-negotiable values, use stories as mirrors rather than measuring sticks, and bring the best of their reading life back into their real relationships—with more honesty, less performance, and a lot more compassion for themselves.

  The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death. 
  In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.   
  The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
  In this volume we gather together those men who, with the touch of a Royal sword, are elevated from mere men to a distinction and elite class that nothing else can offer.  Their talents as poets too are also beyond the ability of almost all other men.

  John Anthony Ciardi (June 24, 1916 - March 30, 1986) was an American poet, translator, and etymologist. While primarily known as a poet, Ciardi pursued etymology, contributed to the Saturday Review as a columnist and long-time poetry editor, directed the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Vermont, and recorded commentaries for National Public Radio. In 1959, Ciardi published a book on how to read, write, and teach poetry, How Does a Poem Mean?, which has proven to be among the most-used books of its kind. The following recording is from a speech Ciardi gave in 1965.
