Little treasures, the FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS are chosen to create a delightful and timeless home library. Each stunning, gift edition features deluxe cover treatments, ribbon markers, luxury endpapers and gilded edges. The unabridged text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader. David Copperfield is the story of a hard life endured is ultimately rewarded because of perseverance, kindness and common sense. Copperfield loses his father as a child, his mother then marries Murdstone, a cruel man who oppresses her and sends the boy away from home to a hostel. His mother dies, then Copperfield is sent to a factory, before running away to his Aunt Betsey Trotwood who protects him and whose relationship he maintains throughout his life. Further suffering follows though when Copperfield's first wife dies in childbirth, but by the end of the novel he too marries once more, finally to live towards a happy end, with Agnes and their three children. Throughout, Dickens highlights the systemic abuse of the weak, the ill, and, often, the female, eager to show that society is at fault for poverty, not the individual, so the poor should be helped, not victimised.

A gorgeous new edition with the cover printed on silver. Towards the end of his life and much inspired by Japanese water gardens, Monet spent a great deal of time in his beloved Giverny. Adorned with poppies, blue sage, dahlias and irises, the waters were disturbed only by bamboos and water lilies. His water garden was originally created to satisfy a need to be near water, and to provide a visual feast that could be enjoyed from his house. The pond was fed by the river Ru, and weeping willow and silver birch hung over its edges, caressing the fronds of the greenery and blossoms below. Its famous green wooden footbridge was built across the water and it became the central focus of many of his works. He said, ‘It took me some time to understand my water lilies. I planted them for pleasure.’ and so he began to work on what is probably the most famous series of paintings the world has ever seen.

Creation myths, quests, the eternal battle between good and evil, these are some of the classic tales that feed the ravenous beast of modern culture. For many the classical traditions of the Greeks and the Romans occupy the imagination but the ancient world was a lively and fertile source of stories, reaching much further back than the pantheon of Zeus and his fellow gods. For the early civilisations, from the ancient Chinese to African tribal societies, stories were told to explain the origins of fierce weather, of unexplained disasters, of floods and earthquakes. Many traditions developed independently but still echoed similar themes in the natural human desire to understand the world around us. This new book brings to life the myths and legends of eight intriguing traditions: Native American, Chinese, Celtic, Scottish, Greek, Viking, Indian and African. With a cast of characters as broad and wide as the ancient river Styx the book is packed with the great themes of life: love, revenge, eternal conflict, the obsession with power and the everlasting the battle between the wily and the strong. This powerful new book is a dazzling collection of the most gripping tales, vividly retold.

All of us – even plants, animals, crystals and places – are surrounded by an aura: a three-dimensional elliptical energy field composed, to varying degrees, of the seven colours of the rainbow, emitted by the seven chakras. And we all have the innate ability to sense or see this field if we dig deep enough. Our aura reveals the state of our mood and health and even our personality, and it can be enhanced or depleted by our actions and external forces. Auras will introduce you to the life-enhancing effect of aura awareness and the benefits of a healthy aura. In Part One, discover the ‘Anatomy of the Aura’: what an aura does, what a chakra is, the seven layers of the aura (from the ‘etheric body’ though the ‘astral body’ to the ‘causal body’), the chakra system (from the ‘root’ to the ‘crown’), how energy flows and colour visualization. Part Two is all about ‘Taking Care of Your Aura’, with guidance and exercises: ways to shift your consciousness, using the four fundamental ‘energy tools’ (Awareness, Intention, Presence and Empathy), how to use a crystal to cleanse your aura, smudging for purification, how to strengthen your aura, how to protect your aura, how to interpret your aura using your different senses and understand the meanings of the colours. The clear text, vibrant design and inspirational imagery of this book will set you on the path to feeling fantastic, having more energy and, most importantly, personal and spiritual evolution.
