Paperback. Condition: Very Good. You have to hand it to children. They do have a wonderfully straightforward view of the world, and a way with words that manages to make day-to-day life much more fun. In Out of the Mouths of Babes you'll find a fantastic selection of the side-splitting bloopers, hiccups, innocent misunderstandings and downright funny things that kids have come out with. For example: Kids on love: 'If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long.' Kids on music: 'Handel was half German, half Italian and half English.' Kids on religion: 'St Paul cavorted to Christianity.'

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Everyone knows that their local newspaper has its own unique idea of what is newsworthy - and how these fascinating, and sometimes bizarre, happenings should be shared with the community. In He Took My Kidney, Then Broke My Heart, Dave Spikey lampoons a collection of the most outrageous, amusing and downright farcical local news stories from the past few years. All the articles are 100-per-cent genuine, ranging from 'Fun with Ferrets at the YMCA' (Halifax Courier) to the intriguingly titled, 'Llama Drama Ding Dong' (Lancashire Evening Post). Each news story is framed and analysed by Dave's comic running commentary. From the man who stole a Grim Reaper costume from Morecambe Town Hall, to the Leicester student who opted for suicide-bomber fancy dress (and then strolled through his city centre), no story is safe from Dave's laugh-out-loud mockery, as he pokes fun at the articles and their protagonists with his trademark wit and humour.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. For 1500 years the hieroglphs of Ancient Egypt defied interpretation but were thought to conceal ancient wisdom and religious secrets. When at last they were deciphered, the hieroglyphs provided something quite different; a picture of ordinary life. The hieroglyphs were concerned not with esoteric rituals but with facts: dates, names, places, and details of people's rank and position in society. Hilary Wilson provides translations of hundreds of the most commonly used hieroglyphs by means of easy-to-use tables, and includes examples from monuments, documents and museum exhibits. She also explains the significance of the terms used, so as to offer a fuller understanding of what the original scribe was trying to convey. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
