She writes, “I like to represent people that don’t often get the spotlight in mainstream crossword puzzles, and I figure crosswords are more fun when they feel like they were written by a person living in the present moment.” This collection will consist of 72 crosswords imbued with Ada’s singular personality and humor, compiled from the best of her blog, plus 30 brand-new puzzles written especially for this book. <br><br> Autorid: Ada Nicolle <br>

'I can change colours of objects by looking at them, hear the symphonies of household simplicities, taste the emotions in a room like sweet or bitter wine, and feel life's every heartbeat breaking through my ribcage in glorious technicolour. Just don't ask me to make eye contact.' An imaginative child's glorious fantasies of dolphins and dragonflies, gingerbread houses and chocolate rivers offer him an escape from hostile reality. When reality dictates he has to conform to the 'real world', he has to make a choice. Should he live authentically and risk stigma, or can he continue to hide? Based on real events from the perspective of the writer and the autistic community, JJ Green's A-Typical Rainbow is an uplifting play about the experience of growing up neurodivergent and queer in early 2000s Britain. It premiered at London's Turbine Theatre in June 2022, produced by Aria Entertainment, directed by Bronagh Lagan, and starring playwright JJ Green, who is a passionate advocate for autistic artists like himself. This edition includes the full text of the play along with contributions from the largely and proudly neurodivergent cast and creative team. <br><br> Autorid: JJ Green <br>

Telling the right story at the right time can help children face challenges and change behavior. All 42 stories in this book begin with an undesirable or out-of-balance situation. Then, through metaphor and an imaginative story journey, they lead to a more desirable resolution. The stories also have the potential to nurture positive values. Following the alphabet from A to Z, each behavior is identified in the story title: angry, anxious, bullying, demanding, fussy, greedy, jealous, loud, obnoxious, quibbling, uncooperative, and so on. The stories, some humorous, some serious, are especially relevant for children aged three to nine years—and the child in every adult! They are for telling and adapting: turn them into home-made picture books or puppet shows, or even create new tales from them. <br><br> Autorid: Susan Perrow <br>

Bexhill may have one of the highest percentages of retired people in the country, but this fascinating town does not deserve its reputation as God’s waiting room. The town was developed by the 7th Earl of Sackville as a seaside resort in the late 19th century and gained a reputation for health and longevity, as well as becoming home to around 300 independent schools before the outbreak of the Second World War. It has always been a pioneering place: the birthplace of British motor racing; the first resort to allow mixed bathing; the first town to supply electricity to homes; and the venue for Bob Marley’s first gig in the UK. A wonderful array of fascinating characters, and a fair few true eccentrics, have called Bexhill home, including a pioneering motorcycling rector, MP ‘Mad Jack’ Fuller and a hoax inventor of a death ray. The town has been immortalised in a Goon Show sketch by Spike Milligan, who trained with the Army there in the Second World, and celebrated by native Eddie Izzard, who put a replica of the coach from The Italian Job on the roof of the town’s art gallery.A-Z of Bexhill-on-Sea reveals the history behind Bexhill, its streets and buildings and the people connected with the town.

Bristol has been reinventing itself continuously, which has always brought new people and new ideas into a city with many old traditions. From its beginnings it was a port and many nationalities have made their home here, some for generations, some for just long enough to make their mark before moving on. Bristol was also the starting point for several voyages to the New World including John Cabots discovery of Newfoundland in 1497. Even in the early twentieth century Bristol was called a grand muddle and now it may seem a city that has lost much of its past, through enemy action, bad planning and indiscriminate demolition. Glancing around, there are many modern buildings of concrete, steel and glass, but scratch the surface and layers of history are uncovered, while here and there that history still remains in view if you know where to look. In this book, local author Cynthia Stiles takes readers on an engaging history tour of Bristol to discover some of its places and the people who have lived and worked there over the centuries, including Samuel Plimsoll. There are the famous ships including SS Great Britain and The Matthew, the inns, hidden lanes, buildings and bridges. From hot-air balloons to explorers, press gangs to carnivals, and Cary Grant to Wallace and Gromit, this is a fascinating look at a vibrant and surprising city. <br><br> Autorid: Cynthia Stiles <br>

'A series of intelligent and fiery essays' The Sunday Times 'A landmark in British food writing' Jonathan Nunn 'Makes you laugh, think, and get a little angry' iPaper 'I started stitching together my story through a different, universal language: food.' An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included) is not a recipe book, but a deliberate 'anti-glossary' - a delectable edible anthology that serves up Chinese flavour beyond just its taste. Jenny Lau always found herself sitting between cultures, connected to both east and west. Hungry to understand herself, she threw herself into researching the Chinese food of her heritage. The result is An A-Z of Chinese Food - a surprising, unputdownable and deliciously enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world. From A is for Authentic, breaking down our assumptions of who 'owns' what cuisine, to R is for Rice Cooker, a humorous entry from the point of view a hard-working kitchen appliance that has seen a family through its ups and downs, An A-Z of Chinese Food will change the way you think about, see, and eat, food. 'Lau's writing makes you laugh, think, and get a little angry - sometimes all at once. She tackles serious topics such as cultural appropriation, colonisation, racism and fetishisation in Chinese food with a lightness that never undermines their gravity' ANGELA HUI for iPaper 'I feel seen... I feel called out... I feel educated... I feel comforted and satiated. This is the book I needed growing up. Everyone should read this book!' JENNIFER LI, @bookmarkonthewall, book blogger 'A worthwhile and thoughtful corrective to many of the myths and over-simplifications about Chinese food in the West. Lau poses some great questions, which stayed with me long after I'd finished reading' BEE WILSON for The Sunday Times 'Using the universal language of food, Lau rips through an astonishing list of subjects with a uniquely original style. A must-read for lovers of food yes, but also lovers of exciting, daring writing' FOYLES Booksellers 'A groundbreaking rhapsody of a book, that brings something brand new to the canon of diasporic food writing. An A-Z that shines completely new light on Chinese culinary heritage, with an immediacy and spirited reverence that is a joy to read. Jenny Lau is a compelling and expressive storyteller: intricately weaving personal memoir, extensively researched cultural history and satirical humour with commanding eloquence. An instant classic from an essential new voice.' GURDEEP LOYAL, food & travel writer 'An A-Z of Chinese Food is a landmark in British food writing, somewhere between a book, a magazine, and a treatise, but completely its own thing. Jenny has the rare ability to dissect unwieldy matters of identity, race and culture with the lightness of touch that all serious topics need, combatting preconceived notions about Chinese cuisine with immaculate research and subversive humour. This book is a tonic to the mainstream of food writing' JONATHAN NUNN 'A leading light in the British Chinese community' FUCHSIA DUNLOP <br><br> Autorid: Jenny Lau <br>
