Världens mest älskade björn på nya äventyr - rikt illustrerad i färg

A. A. Milnes berättelser om Nalle Puh har lästs och älskats av generationer ända sedan den första boken kom ut 1926. Till 90-årsjubileet kom en uppföljare, Världens bästa björn, där vi får tillbringa ett helt år med Nalle Puh och Christopher Robin i Sjumilaskogen. Vid höstkanten är Puh och Nasse rädda för att en drake ska invadera skogen. Till vintern kommer en mycket blyg pingvin på besök, han behöver hjälp att lockas ut ur sitt skal. När våren nalkas oroar sig I-or för att en annan åsna ska komma och äta upp alla tistlar. Världens bästa björn presenteras här för första gången på svenska, i översättning av Torun Lidfeldt Bager, med färgillustrationer i klassisk Nalle Puh-stil signerade Mark Burgess.

A. A. MILNE [1882-1956] var en engelsk författare och dramatiker som blivit känd över hela världen för sina odödliga berättelser om Nalle Puh. Karaktärerna baserades på sonen Christopher Robin och hans leksaksdjur. Världens bästa björn är en officiell och auktoriserad uppföljare, skriven i Milnes anda av författarna Paul Bright, Brian Sibley, Jeanne Willis och Kate Saunders. Boken är rikt illustrerad i färg av barnboksförfattaren och illustratören Mark Burgess - i den ursprunglige Nalle Puh-illustratören E. H. Shepards klassiska stil.

''We feasted on love, every mode of it - solemn and merry, romantic and realistic, sometimes as dramatic as a thunderstorm, sometimes as comfortable and unemphatic as putting on your soft slippers.'' C. S. LewisThe celebrated scholar and writer C. S. Lewis achieved great success in his life - yet to many he remained an engima. Although he had many friends, few if any ever saw the real, private Lewis and for six decades of his life he remained a confirmed bachelor.Then, at the age of sixty, Lewis met Joy Davidman. Davidman, an unconventional American divorcee, turned his world upside down. It was with her that Lewis truly found love and was drawn out of his shell. This is the story of their brief but incandescent love, its tragic end and a faith that endures beyond even the deepest grief.This updated edition contains a new Introduction by author Brian Sibley and a Preface by the UK''s leading Lewis scholar, Alister McGrath.

The 17th Century classic brought to life in a bold new telling The Pilgrim''s Progress is regarded as one of the most significant works of theological fiction in English literature and is considered by some to be the first novel written in English. First published in 1678, it has been translated into more than 200 languages and had never been out of print. John Bunyan''s seminal work has influenced writers across the centuries from Charlotte Brontë to Enid Blyton and beyond.In this innovative and beautifully paced production of John Bunyan''s classic novel, dramatist Brian Sibley takes us deftly on the pilgrim Christian''s life changing journey to the Celestial City, whilst also delicately weaving into the narrative the author''s own journey. Arrested and imprisoned in the late 1600s for holding improper religious services, the drama unfolds through Bunyan''s plight behind bars as he wrestles with his relationship to God, sense of duty and creativity - and begins to pen the novel from his cell.Sibley delivers a fresh perspective and wonderful re-telling of the adventures of Christian, a pilgrim who embarks on a perilous journey from his hometown, the allegorical City of Destruction, to the Celestial City, or Heaven. Dramatised across three episodes, we follow Christian as he meets with death, despair, hope and ultimately salvation. It is the story of the everyman pilgrim who seeks to gain knowledge, making mistakes along that way that inform and inspire him on his path to grace.Starring Anton Rodgers (May to December) as Bunyan and Neil Dudgeon (Midsomer Murders) as Christian, this full-cast production also features the well-known voices of Anna Massey and Peter Bowles. Brian Sibley is perhaps best known as the writer behind the hugely popular, landmark BBC radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.Written by Brian Sibley based on the novel by John BunyanDirected by Pam Fraser SolomonCastBunyan - Anton RodgersChristian - Neil DudgeonEvangelist - Alec McCowenBeelzebub - Don WarringtonInterpreter - Anna MasseyCaged Man - Peter BowlesElizabeth - Caroline Lee JohnsJailer - Ioan MeredithJudge - Derek WaringPliable/Watchful/Sincere - Philip FoxObstinate/Clerk/Knowledge - Chris MoranHelp/Prudence/Angel - Jaimi BarbakoffGoodwill/Charity/Angel - Lydia LeonardAngel/Piety/Deceiver - Cherie Taylor-BattisteChild - Sophie LevyChild - Nyla LevFaithful - Graham CrowdenCobb/Giant Despair - Stephen ThorneDiscretion - Eve KarpfTalkative/Ignorance - Rachel AtkinsTimorous/Experience - Damian LynchHopeful - Paul MedfordMrs Despair - Frances JeaterFalse-Confidence - Declan WilsonFirst Broadcast BBC Radio 4, 4 January 2004©2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd

Tony Robinson stars in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of E.T.A. Hoffmann''s renowned Christmas story, which inspired Tchaikovsky''s ballet ''The Nutcracker''It is Christmas Eve, and young Mary and Fred are opening presents from their godfather, Drosselmeier the toymaker. Mary’s favourite gift is a nutcracker soldier, and she is disappointed when his jaw breaks on a particularly hard nut.She puts him away carefully, promising that Drosselmeier will mend him – and at that moment he seems to come alive. Surely she is just imagining things? But as the grandfather clock begins to chime midnight, all her toys spring to life! Led by the Nutcracker, they rush into battle with an army of mice who emerge from beneath the floorboards – including the seven-headed Mouse King…Hoffmann''s classic children’s tale is adapted by Brian Sibley (who also dramatised ''The Lord of the Rings'' and ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' for radio).
