    Good Omens Collectors Library Edition

    £15

    Humanity has been forecasting the end of the world almost from its very beginning. It is therefore natural to greet a fresh prediction of Judgement Day with a healthy dose of scepticism. But what if this time the foretelling proves accurate and the apocalypse is truly scheduled for next Saturday, just after tea? One could spend the remaining hours drowning sorrows, giving away all possessions in preparation for the rapture, or simply laughing the whole thing off as yet another hoax.

    Or one could decide to do something about it.

    That is exactly the dilemma at the heart of Good Omens, the brilliantly funny and endlessly quotable novel created by the combined talents of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. In this special Collectors Library Edition, readers are invited into a story where the forces of Heaven and Hell have been preparing for the final battle for centuries, only for everything to go gloriously wrong. With the Antichrist misplaced, ancient prophecies in disarray, and the fate of the planet resting on the unlikely shoulders of a demon who quite likes the world as it is and an angel who has grown rather fond of his bookshop, the stage is set for chaos, comedy and a great deal of tea.

    Written with the sharp wit and satirical bite that made Pratchett a household name and the inventive storytelling that defines Gaiman’s work, Good Omens blends laugh-out-loud humour with genuine warmth and insight. It pokes gentle fun at bureaucracy, religion, the end times and humanity itself, all while delivering characters you will remember long after the final page. Whether you are discovering the book for the first time or returning to an old favourite, this handsome Collectors Library Edition makes the perfect addition to any shelf.

    Ideal for fans of the Discworld series, lovers of clever fantasy, or anyone who enjoys a story that is equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking, Good Omens remains as fresh and relevant today as when it first appeared. Order your copy now and join Crowley and Aziraphale in their unforgettable attempt to save the world, one cup of tea at a time.

  • Nation Collectors Library Edition

    Nation Collectors Library Edition

    £15

    Finding himself alone on a desert island when everything and everyone he knows and loved has been washed away in a huge storm, Mau is the last surviving member of his nation. He’s also completely alone – or so he thinks until he finds the ghost girl. She has no toes, wears strange lacy trousers like the grandfather bird and gives him a stick that can make fire.

    Daphne, sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, almost immediately regrets trying to shoot the native boy. Thank goodness the powder was wet and the gun only produced a spark. She’s certain her father, distant cousin of the Royal family, will come and rescue her, but it seems, for now, all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship’s parrot.

    As it happens, they are not alone for long. Other survivors start to arrive to take refuge on the island they all call the Nation, and then raiders accompanied by murderous mutineers from the Sweet Judy. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things – including how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good thing – and start to forge a new Nation.

    As can be expected from Terry Pratchett, the master story-teller, this new children’s novel is both witty and wise, encompassing themes of death and nationhood, while being extremely funny. Mau’s ancestors have something to teach us all. Mau just wishes they would shut up about it and let him get on with saving everyone’s lives!
