How many Muses are there? Who were the original twelve Titans? Why is Zeus (Jupiter) associated with power stations, and Poseidon (Neptune) with salt-cellars? Who were Aphrodite’s (Venus’) handmaidens?  In this beautiful little book, packed with rare early illustrations to help identify the gods and goddesses, author Philippa Lewis reveals the extraordinary characters and haunting myths of the classical pantheon, and shows how their legacy still lives on around us today.

    A woman longing for passion. A life that feels too small. A dream that leads her where she never meant to go.
    Emma Bovary marries a kind but ordinary doctor, hoping for romance, beauty, and excitement. Instead, she finds herself trapped in routine and aching for more. As she pursues love, luxury, and escape, her desires turn into dangerous illusions—drawing her deeper into secrets, debt, and heartbreak she cannot control.
    
    Praised as "one of the greatest novels ever written," Flaubert's masterpiece is renowned for its exquisite prose, psychological depth, and fearless portrayal of desire and disillusionment. Emma's struggle to reconcile fantasy with reality remains as gripping today as when the book first shocked the world.
    
    If you love emotionally intense storytelling, rich character exploration, and classics that linger long after the last page, this novel is essential reading.
    
    Open the book—and step into the life of a woman whose dreams burn brighter than the world around her.

    Some people keep secrets, this house hides them for generations. Can Cleo dig back in time to save the present? 
     
    When genealogist Cleo is asked to investigate the family of Upper Moore House as a favour to her estate agent friend, it’s a different commission to the ones she’s used to. And right from the start she feels there’s something not quite right about Mrs Darcy D’Eath Wytcombe. What is Mrs Wytcome’s real motive for digging so deep into her late husband’s family? What secrets does she think Cleo will uncover? And is she prepared for what else might be revealed? 
     
    As Cleo discovers increasing numbers of old letters, some of which have been buried for over a century in hiding places within the house, a strange web of deceit begins to appear. What was the family’s connection to Georgian and Victorian Croatia and Italy, and just how closely related to one another were some of the Wytcombes? More urgently, who have been the real heirs to the house down the generations, and have others been willing to resort to blackmail or even murder to keep it from them? 
     
    With Mrs Wytcombe pushing for a swift sale of the house, Cleo must work against the clock to find the true heirs to Upper Moore House and prevent a terrible miscarriage of justice. 
     
    If you love paranormal mysteries by authors like Phil Rickman and James Oswald, and a dash of romance with your mystery as with Barbara Erskine, Lucinda Riley, and Karen Swan, or the magical elements of Diana Gabaldon’s Lord John Grey novels, then this is a book for you!
