Description

A joyful new series of colouring books for children and adults, inspired by the bestselling World of... jigsaw puzzle series.

The series opens with Jane Austen and the charming Regency era, brought to life through the lively, characterful artwork of Eleanor Taylor, illustrator of the bestselling The World of the Romantics and The World of the Brontes jigsaws.

Wander through the countryside with Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, promenade along Bath's Royal Crescent with Sir Walter and Elizabeth in Persuasion, watch Catherine Morland ransack Mrs Tilney's room at Northanger Abbey, relive the delicious awkwardness of the Box Hill picnic in Emma and step inside the grandeur of Mansfield Park through 40 unique illustrations.

These books not only provide a relaxing space to flex your creative skills but also celebrate the stories we have loved for generations. Throughout the book, there will be witty references and Easter eggs for fans to spot.

Sharpen your pencils, pick your palette, and prepare to gossip, daydream, and colour your way through Austen's world, because this time, you decide how the story looks.

The Iliad

When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was "fresh, unpretentious and lean" (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)—critics lauded it as "a revelation" (Susan Chira, New York Times) and "a cultural landmark" (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an...

Emerging from art school mischief in early-1970s New Zealand, they turned pop into surreal theatre: costume, character and melody colliding in a rock band that refused to behave like one. At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
