A unique and beautiful gift book celebrating the astonishing art of Jim Kay - 366 magical moments from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels evoked in spellbinding brushstrokes, characterful ink work and intimate pencil sketches
A heart-twisting celebration of books! Once there was a boy called Book. He asked his mother why he was named that, and she replied: 'Because your life is a story. You can write it however you want.' This stunning picture book shows how stories inspire us, shape us, and ultimately heal us.
Beautiful design, magical Jim Kay illustrations and unseen treasures from J.K. Rowling's own archive combine in this unique souvenir of the British Library's much anticipated exhibition - now available in paperback!
<em>World Mythology: A Very Short Introduction</em> is organized around universal motifs: Creation, the Flood, the Hero Quest, the Trickster/Culture Hero, the Pantheons, the High God, and the Great Goddess. David Leeming compares examples of each motif from a variety of cultures--Greek, Egyptian, Norse, American Indian, African, Polynesian, Jewish, Christian, Hindu--treating them as reflections of the cultures that "dreamed" them and exposing their universal significance, creating a "world mythology."
