Un clásico de la literatura inglesa más gamberra, divertida y genial, para todas las edades, y que se presenta en espléndida traducción de Jon Bilbao.Considerado un clásico de la literatura ilustrada del XX, y una de las creaciones mas gamberras jamas escritas, "¡Abajo el colejio!" inaugura las aventuras del famoso colegial Nigel Molesworth, un claro antecedente ingles del Pequeño Nicolas y gran exito de ventas en Gran Bretaña en los años cincuenta. Nigel Molesworth es un estudiante malefico que vive interno en el Colegio de San Custodio, que tiene solo 62 alumnos y que, segun Nigel, fue construido por un lunatico en 1836. Nada escapa a su ojo clinico, y suele encontrar poco tiempo para tostones como la biologia o la poesia. Prefiere, sin embargo, saltarse las clases o hacer gamberradas con Peason, su mejor amigo, con quien protagoniza frecuentes expediciones interplanetarias, con Fotherington-Tomas, el tonto del grupo, o con Molesworth-2, su hermano pequeño, al que zurra en cuanto tiene ocasion.

The book opens with early 1950s life as viewed through the eyes of a child up until the age of seven, when out flow the memories of growing up in Ludlow, South Shropshire in the late1950s-early 1960s, capturing a mode of existence now lost in the mists of time.In the two main streets featured, only one house had a phone; prior to the late 50s only one had a TV set; laundry was done in sink or boiler, before being wrung through a mangle; most family vegetables were grown in the back garden; there was no central heating; the only take-away was the downtown chip shop, over half a mile away; the nearest thing to an off-licence was a service hatch at the local; there were two main grocery stores, but no supermarkets; no domestic refrigerators; plastic in the shape of buckets, bowls and bags had yet to make an impact; most mothers wore corsets and most men didnt use deodorant.The small market town of approximately 6,000 souls boasted twenty eight pubs, but Chinese and Indian restaurants were as yet unheard of. There were two cinemas, seven butchers, four bakeries and two newsagents, but no hint of titillation along the top shelves, for shudder the thought, even the sexual mysteries of life were rarely explained.Compared to today, things were certainly Spartan, but underlying all was a sense of immense fun as the locals forged a fresh start emerging victorious from the Second World War. The food had far more flavour; beer was the equivalent of less than half the price of a pint today; the Sunday joint was succulent and would last well into the following week; there was no real need to lock house doors; children invented their own games, roaming far and wide without their parents fretting; the family doctor would visit for something serious, but for the usual round of colds, flu, mumps, measles or chicken pox, mothers took care of things.Play clothes were often hand-me-downs courtesy of family and friends and if a neighbour needed help, it was soon forthcoming. Very few owned cars, making the family bike essential and with money being tight, holidays were often taken by staying with relatives.Amongst all this was a small gang of lads, playing out the parts of their sporting and movie heroes; inventing games of dare; exploring as far as their legs would take them; building camps in trees and hedgerows and often puzzling over the mysteries of a sexual nature. Much of the humour is contained in the fact they considered themselves far more grown-up and in control than they actually were, leading to many glorious failures.This book is a tribute to those I shared those escapades with, for we literally had the time of our lives and yes, Ive published other works, but It has taken years to come up with a style that hopefully captures the fun and innocence of those days. Basically, this is the book Ive always wanted to write.

Young Muggins is a delightful and heartwarming short story that reveals Baroness Orczys lighter, more humorous side. Set in Edwardian England, it follows the misadventures of an earnest but bumbling young man whose naivety and optimism often lead him into comic trouble. Though underestimated by those around him, Mugginss sincerity and good heart shine through, turning awkward situations into unexpectedly touching outcomes. With wit, warmth, and gentle satire, Orczy paints a portrait of everyday humanity that contrasts her more dramatic works. Young Muggins is a story about innocence, kindness, and the surprising strength found in simplicity a small but memorable gem in her diverse collection of tales.

An audacious, unnerving satire of the twentieth centurys most notorious figure.Liverpool, 1912. Young Adolf Hitler, a recent art-school dropout on the run from military service in Austria, turns up to stay with his brother Alois and sister-in-law Bridget. Idle and dirty, Adolf spends his days sprawled on the couch, gripped by paranoia that Austrian officials are tailing him. Adolfs poor conduct constant sponging, an ill temper, and a refusal to assist in Alois questionable business ventures quickly draws the ire of his family. Surely this is a young man who will never amount to anything?

A hilarious and timely essay collection about race, gender, and pop culture from comedy superstar and 2 Dope Queens podcaster Phoebe Robinson Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: shes been unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black friend," as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; shes been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ("isnt that...white people music?"); shes been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the workplace; shes been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, shes ready to take these topics to the page-and shes going to make you laugh as shes doing it. Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is "Queen. Bae. Jesus," to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, 2 Dope Queens, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, You Cant Touch My Hair examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise.
