「傷心欲絕的善良國王一夕之間性格大變，殘酷與怒火使人民逃離。」熱愛故事的Shahrzad沉浸其中，想像自己跳上飛機找到國王，試圖用故事打動國王，使他重拾善良本性。沒想到，白日夢竟化成現實…。A retelling of the Scheherazade story, set in the contemporary world, Shahrzad and the Angry King centers on the scooter-loving, story-loving Shahrzad. One day, Shahrzad sees a boy in the park who she's never seen before. He looks sad, and because she loves stories and therefore always listens to everyone and everything, she asks him to tell her his story. He talks, she listens, and she hears the tale of a country that was peaceful and happy until misery befell its king when his wife died in childbirth. After, the king grows angry and cruel; so much so that the boy must flee with his family. After hearing this story, Shahrzad can't forget it. And so, one day, when she sees a toy airplane in a store, she begins to imagine that she is flying off to the boy's home country, where she confronts the king. Like Scheherazade, she tells the king stories, but this time not to save her own life, but tho

English novelist E.M. Forster wrote his last and best-loved work, A Passage to India, both as a paean to his love for India and as a tribute to the relationships he formed with Indians. Forster became entranced by the India of the Raj at a young age, and his love affair with the sub-continent, its princes, and peoples, was to last all his life. At his most socially transgressive, it was with Indians that Forster chose to connect and with whom he put into effect his belief in man’s duty to value friendship over state or ideology. His time in India was undoubtedly when he was at his most human and most vulnerable.At once a contemporary reflection on India’s rich history and a biographical retelling of Forster’s travels through the country in the early 1900s, Developing the Heart delves into the past to better understand the profound impact certain events and people had on his writing. In doing so, it allows readers to look on as Forster matures and softens over time in his behaviour with

A lively retelling of the classic Aesop's fable for young English language learners, beautifully illustrated and full of character and humour. "Hello, I'm new here!" says Hare to slow, quiet old Tortoise. Hare talks very fast, and likes to run and jump, and before Tortoise can think twice, he has agreed to an impossible race. But maybe Hare is a little too confident, and Tortoise has a chance of winning after all? And maybe both Hare and Tortoise have some lessons to learn about determination, believing in yourself and winning and losing well. With fun activities after the story, and online audio in both British English and American English. Beautifully produced, with world-class full-colour artwork throughout, this classic story is retold in a fluent and natural style, made highly accessible for English language learners. This is part of a series devised and edited in collaboration with acclaimed ELT consultant Peter Viney.CEFR: A1 Lexile: 440L Key Stage: EYFS, KS1
