Softcover. Condición: Good. "The Great Inland Sea is a novel about a boy who escapes the scorched landscape of his youth and returns as an adult to nurse his ailing father, discovering the secrets buried there." "David Francis's debut novel tells a story of a boy's loss and enduring hope as he endeavors to forge connections with the world around him. After witnessing his mother's death, Day flees his remote family farm in New South Wales to become caretaker of a racehorse named Unusual, with whom he travels to America." On the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Day falls in love with Callie, a tough and ambitious young American who wants to be the first licensed woman jockey. Their destructive love ultimately leads him back to the Riverina, where he began, and where his past reveals itself in ways that even he would never have imagined.

Softcover. Condición: Good. Derived from Nigel Slater's column in the "Observer", this book is full of recipes, technical tips, short-cuts, snippets of history, anecdotes and meditations on the aesthetics of eating. Most of all it is a testament to the pleasures of good food, from the grand poetry of a wild salmon in cream and dill sauce to the sheer sensuousness of hot buttered toast. Nigel Slater is the winner of the Glenfiddich Trophy, the Glenfiddich Cookery Writer of the Year and joint winner with Kevin Summers of the Glenfiddich Visual Award.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 1. A dramatic reinterpretation of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. Crowned Queen of Scotland at nine months of age, and Queen of France at 16, at 18 Mary ascended the throne that was her birthright and began ruling one of the most fractious courts in Europe, riven by religious conflict and personal lust for power. She rode out at the head of an army in both victory and defeat; saw her second husband assassinated, and married his murderer. She was a woman so magnetic, so brilliant in conversation that her cousin, Elizabeth I, refused to meet her in the course of their lifetimes for fear of being overshadowed or outwitted. At 25 she entered captivity at the hands of her rival queen, from which only death would release her. The life of Mary Stuart is one of unparalleled drama and conflict. From the labyrinthine plots laid by the Scottish lords to wrest power for themselves, to the efforts made by Elizabeth's ministers to invalidate Mary's legitimate claim to the English throne, John Guy returns to the archives to explode the myths and correct the inaccuracies that surround this most fascinating monarch. He also explains a central mystery: why Mary would have consented to marry - only three months after the death of her second husband, Lord Darnley - the man who was said to be his killer, the Earl of Bothwell. He also solves, through careful re-examination of the Casket Letters, the secret behind Darnley's spectacular assassination at Kirk o'Field. With great pathos, Guy illuminates how the imprisoned Mary's despair led to a reckless plot against Elizabeth - and thus to her own execution. The portrait that emerges is not of a political pawn or a manipulative siren, but of a shrewd and charismatic young ruler who relished power and, for a time, managed to hold together a fatally unstable country. The book is a work of historical scholarship that offers radical new interpretations of an ancient story.
