"Fascinerande läsning... [boken] bjuder på såväl upplevelse som kunskap i tilltalande form och format."
Bibliotekstjänst, Gunnar Åsberg
Gudar, hjältar & monster - med överdådiga illustrationer! Först fanns Kaos. Från Kaos steg Moder Jord fram och födde titaner och cykloper. Titanerna fick sedan gossebarnet Zeus, som kom att bli den högsta och mäktigaste guden. De nya gudarna hade kommit! 26 berättelser från den grekiska mytologin med fantastiska illustrationer. I denna vackra och innehållsrika bok möter vi gudar, hjältar, monster, underverk och märkliga varelser i en äventyrlig blandning. Havsguden Poseidon, kärlekens gudinna Afrodite, underjordens herre Hades, vishetens gudinna Athena, musikens gud Apollon, och många fler! Vid sidan av gudarna finns det mystiska varelser som kentaurer, skogsnymfer och nereider. Även fasansfulla monster, t.ex. Medusa - med en man av ormhuvuden, Kerberos - den trehövdade hunden, Kimaira - hälften lejon, hälften bock, Echidna - hälften kvinna, hälften orm... Länge har det saknats en bok på svenska för unga om den grekiska mytologin. Äntligen kan hela familjen stiga in i gudarnas värld och fascineras av deras öden, hjältedåd och intriger. Den grekiska mytologin har sina spår än idag - i litteratur, film, musik... Den italienska konstnären GIOVANNI CASELLI har tecknat bilderna i färg och svartvitt.

"När det större pusslet om Sveriges mångkulturella historia ska läggas, är mindre bitar som den här boken ändå omistliga. Ulrika Kärnborg, Expressen
I den banbrytande boken Afrosvenskar -- 15 berättelser ur historien lyfts flera människoöden fram, såväl kända som okända. Tillsammans berättar de om den afrosvenska historien, från 1600-talet och framåt. Möt till exempel Carl Fredrik Adolph som stred i slaget vid Poltava 1709 och Betty Bull-Bäckström som arbetade som barnmorska i Växjö i mitten av 1800-talet. Vi får också träffa Gustav Badin som arbetade vid Drottning Lovisa Ulrikas hov, och många fler. Genom dessa människoöden synliggörs viktiga delar ur vår historia.
Johanna Berg arbetar på Världskulturmuseerna och har genom forskning i arkiv hittat spännande och intressanta levnadsöden ur historien. Boken är rikligt illustrerad av Maria Fröhlich, och tillsammans har de skapat en unik bok som breddar vår gemensamma svenska historia.

Annika Thor och Susanne Marko skriver om Selma Lagerlöf för unga läsare
Selma Lagerlöf från Mårbacka är en av våra största författare. Hennes liv och berättelser fortsätter att intressera och engagera oss även idag. På teater- och operascener ser vi klassiker som Bortbytingen och Herr Arnes penningar. En ständigt aktuell författare presenteras här för unga läsare.
I En förtrollad värld skildras den unga flickan Selmas uppväxt på gården Mårbacka i Värmland, där hennes författardrömmar föddes. Vi följer Selma fram till den punkt när hon som ung lärarstuderande i Stockholm får vad som kan liknas vid en uppenbarelse: hon ska skriva en roman som bygger på de historier hon hört som barn. Vi får också smakprov på Selmas rika författarskatt när Susanne Marko och Annika Thor återberättar bearbetade versioner av klassikerna Gösta Berlings saga, En herrgårdssägen och Herr Arnes penningar.
För bokens illustrationer och formgivning står Kristin Lidström.

Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Finalist!The gripping true story of the only women to fly in combat in World War II—from Elizabeth Wein, award-winning author of Code Name VerityIn the early years of World War II, Josef Stalin issued an order that made the Soviet Union the first country in the world to allow female pilots to fly in combat. Led by Marina Raskova, these three regiments, including the 588th Night Bomber Regiment—nicknamed the “night witches”—faced intense pressure and obstacles both in the sky and on the ground. Some of these young women perished in flames. Many of them were in their teens when they went to war.This is the story of Raskova’s three regiments, women who enlisted and were deployed on the front lines of battle as navigators, pilots, and mechanics. It is the story of a thousand young women who wanted to take flight to defend their country, and the woman who brought them together in the sky.Packed with black-and-white photographs, fascinating sidebars, and thoroughly researched details, A Thousand Sisters is the inspiring true story of a group of women who set out to change the world, and the sisterhood they formed even amid the destruction of war.

A lavishly illustrated retrospective in celebration of 100 years since Judith Kerr’s birth, author of The Tiger Who Came to Tea and many other iconic books. Judith Kerr was one of the best-loved authors and illustrators to ever put pencil to paper. The books she created, including The Tiger Who Came to Tea, Mog the Forgetful Cat, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit and many many more, have become classics of children’s literature, loved by generations of readers.But what of the life behind the iconic characters? Judith’s own story is riveting, from her early childhood in Berlin, dramatically cut short by the family having to flee the rising Nazi Party, to her time at the BBC in the 1950s and her long and happy marriage to the celebrated screenwriter Nigel Kneale, creator of British television’s first major hit, The Quatermass Experiment.The joy of this very special book is in hearing this story from Judith herself, accompanied by a treasure trove of illustrations and memorabilia. All combine to give an unforgettable insight into the creative process behind these beloved stories.This book was published in 2013, but Judith continued to work up until her death in 2019. While she may have gone, her creatures live on. They are much-loved characters who spring to life from the pages of her books, but they are also those who have played a part in her inspirational life. They are to be found here, in a book to cherish and return to again and again.In 2023 we celebrate 100 years since Judith’s birth and in this updated edition, her final working years have been wonderfully evoked in a new chapter written by Judith’s son, the author, Matthew Kneale.
