The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett illustrated by Graham Rust A beautiful and timeless portrayal of friendship, mystery, and renewal. Beloved by generations of young readers, this is the story of two unhappy but courageous children who become determined to make their lives, and the lives of others around them, more joyful. Orphaned Mary Lennox is sent to live in her uncle’s house on the Yorkshire moors, and the house is an unhappy one. And full of secrets. The mansion has nearly one hundred rooms, and her uncle keeps himself locked up. At night, she hears the sound of crying down one of the long corridors. The gardens sur- rounding the large property are Mary’s only escape. Then, Mary discovers a secret garden, tangled with overgrowth, sur- rounded by walls, and locked with a missing key. With the help of two unexpected companions, Mary discovers a way in—and becomes determined to bring the garden back to life. AGES 8–12 · 192 PAGES · HARDCOVER · $18.95
La Bonne Table by Ludwig Bemelmans A feast of reading on the art of dining well.
An illustrated celebration of a lifetime love affair with dining by the creator of the classic Madeline series. Here is Bemelmans’ best on the subject he loved most: the good table. Entrancing memories and charming pictures transport the reader behind the scenes of the great hotels and restaurants of Europe and America. Memorable dishes, the eccentric geniuses of the kitchens who created them, the opulent and often astonishing patrons who ordered them, and the legendary wines and the occasions they toasted are all evoked in rich and piquant flavor. Bemelmans was trained as a boy for a career
as a restauranteur, and La Bonne Table is in effect his gastonomical autobiography. The high—and sometimes riotous low—points of his life with food, from Austrian cafes to the late, lamented Ritz of New York, are narrated with delight and zest as he celebrates beer and sausages, pressed duck and caviar, and the chefs who prepared it all. 446 PAGES · ILLUSTRATED · SOFTCOVER · $22.95 The Kitchen Book & The Cook Book by Nicolas Freeling “Absolutely delightful to read.”— London Times

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett illustrated by Graham Rust
Rags to riches—and kindness rewarded. Young Sara Crewe lives a life of luxury until a tragedy strikes. The adored only child of a rich, indulgent father, she arrived at Miss Minchin’s Seminary for Young Ladies in a flurry of silks and satins. The envy of the pupils, who spitefully call her “the little princess,” she lives a life of lux- ury—until her father dies and the unscrupulous and spiteful Miss Minchin relegates the poor girl to the seminary’s attic. Thrown back on her own resources, and especially her powerful imagination, Sara displays the nobility of a real princess until, as if by magic, her fortunes change again.

Nicolas Freeling, best known for producing some of the finest modern crime fiction, began his working life as an apprentice cook in a large French hotel. He continued cooking profession- ally for many years, and his enthusiasm for, and interest in, gas- tronomy in its broadest sense is at least equal to his passion for crime. Here, reprinted in a single volume, are his two splendid
books of gastronomical memoir drawn from those experiences. Each is a delicious blend of the culinary and the literary, and include such recipes as cinnamon lamb stew and bouillabaisse, all charmingly floating about in a consistently entertaining text. The work is illustrated by the witty and winsome pen of John Lawrence, the perfect visual sauce for Freeling’s savouries. Funny, wise, full of inspiration and delight, The Kitchen Book & The Cook Book will find a place close to every cook’s hearth and heart. 360 PAGES · SOFTCOVER · $17.95
