| | | |  | Audrey Hepburn: an enduring screen legend and one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her photograph graced the covers of magazines across the world for half a century, yet in a movie career lasting forty-five years she made only twenty-six feature films, from blink-and-you?ll-miss-them walk-ons in classic films (The Lavender Hill Mob) to enduring masterpieces (My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany?s) that remain with the viewer long after they?ve left the cinema.
But being a film legend wasn?t enough. For twenty years she dedicated her life to working for UNICEF. The Pocket Essential Audrey Hepburn looks at Audrey?s early life growing up in Holland during the war. Her father was a nazi sympathiser and her mother of Dutch aristocracy and this brought about pressures and experiences that Audrey would carry with her throughout her life. Wartime starvation was responsible for her ?gamin? appearance. Her early ambition for a career as a ballet dancer gave her the poise and dignity with which she was eponymous and her forty-year working relationship with the designer Hubert Givenchy created the ?Hepburn Look? which Hollywood film stars are still trying to emulate.
As well as an introductory essay, the Pocket Essential Audrey Hepburn has at its core Audrey the film star and each of her films (and the re-makes) is reviewed and analysed, including background information and trivia. autor: Ellen Cheshire issn: 978-1-84839-173-4 data: 2009.02.11 cena: 25.22 PLN |

| | | |  | The behaviour of a Siamese cat is never predictable, as all owners well know. The calm of the Tovey household is once again torn to shreds when Doreen?s cat Seeley instantly loathes the new arrival, Shebalu, and she ? all five inches of her ? loathes him back.
And then, even worse, they become firm friends, and team up to create havoc.
The characters of 'Cats in the Belfry' return with a vengeance: Father Adams, Miss Wellington and Annabel the donkey. But Seeley and Shebalu steal the show with their loveable mischief, and their antics will bring tears of laughter. autor: Doreen Tovey issn: 978-1-84839-172-7 data: 2009.02.11 cena: 35.33 PLN |

| | | |  | ?So there we were, driving along with an earth-box, a bag of turkey and, squalling his head off on my knee in Sheba?s basket, the new boy.? The Toveys are no strangers to disaster, particularly the Siamese-related kind, but when their beloved Solomon dies unexpectedly, they?re faced with a completely new type of problem ? do they find another cat to replace the one they?ve lost? The animals always win in the Tovey household and this time is no exception. It is with the interests of Solomon?s (very audibly) grieving sister Sheba at heart that Doreen and Charles set off in search of Solomon Secundus, affectionately known as Seeley. Joined by a myriad of endearing characters, Seeley ensures he?s living up to Solomon?s standards in just the amount of time it takes to fall in a fishpond. This is an enchanting tale that will tickle your funny bone and tug on your heartstrings all in the same breath. autor: Doreen Tovey issn: 978-1-84839-137-6 data: 2008.10.20 cena: 35.34 PLN |
