JØRGEN PINGVIN elsker at være kreativ og bygge ting. Da han ønsker sig en hund, bygger han en af pap. Men det er ikke helt let at have en hund!Billedbøgerne om JØRGEN PINGVIN er skønne hverdagsfortællinger om at slippe fantasien og kreativiteten løs.

Gården er en fortælling om at udskifte parcelhuslivet med en tilværelse på landet – en tilværelse, der kom til at indebære store mængder af linolie, renoveringsarbejde og produktionen af naturvin. Forfatteren skildrer i denne erindringsbog, hvordan hun i 1990’erne forelskede sig i en gammel gård i Nordsjælland. Hun faldt så meget for stedet, at hun udskiftede det trygge parcelhus tæt på jobbet i København med livet i landsbyen. I bogen beretter hun om, hvordan gården blev sat i stand ved hjælp traditionelle metoder og materialer, der respekterede gårdens oprindelse, og de mange op- og nedture, der kan være i en sådan proces. Hun fortæller også om, hvordan hun kom i gang med at producere naturvin som en af de første i Danmark.Det er en beretning om at vælge et langsommere liv i tæt kontakt med naturen. Fortælleren drives af nostalgi og en romantisk tilgang til landsbylivet, hvilket smitter af på sproget. Tempoet er langsomt, og vi dykker ned i detaljer med renovering, linoliemaling og lampeskærme fra 50’erne. Fortællingen har en rustik charme, og langsommeligheden afspejler den livsstil, der skildres i bogen.Bogen henvender sig til samme publikum, der ser ”Bonderøven”, bager med egen surdej og fifler lidt med hjemmebryg. Forfatteren er meget vidende om de emner, hun beskæftiger med, og man bliver som læser klogere – og nysgerrig – på både nænsom restaurering, landbrugshistorie og dansk vinavl. Det er en fortælling, der henvender sig til alle, der nogle gange synes, at det moderne liv er for stresset, og som værdsætter bondegårdsferierne, hvor man lærer, hvor vores fødevarer virkelig kommer fra.

I anledning af 100-året for kvinders stemmeret udgiver vi historien om Marie Christensen og de københavnske tjenestepiger – en fortælling om stemmeret, faglig kamp og ligestilling. I 1899 stiftede Marie Christensen Københavns Tjeneste­ pigeforening, fordi hun ønskede at samle og styrke de mange kvinder, der som hun selv arbejdede som tjeneste­ piger fra morgen til aften stort set uden rettigheder. Foreningen blev som andre af tidens fagforeninger til i erkendelse af, at det var absolut nødvendigt for de lavest betalte arbejdere at stå sammen for at sikre sig et minimum af rettigheder i industrisamfundet. Tjenestepigernes basale ønsker lød på faste arbejds­ tider, betaling for overarbejde, fri hver anden søndag eftermiddag, eget værelse, ordentlig mad og højere løn. Med udgangspunkt i tjenestepigernes kamp for bedre vilkår, tegner Dorte Chakravarty et portræt af Køben­ havns arbejdende kvinder i slutningen af 1800­tallet, den gryende faglige kamp og ikke mindst kvindernes kamp for den grundlæggende ret i ethvert demokrati: stemmeretten. TJENESTEPIGERNE trækker linjer fra fortiden op til nu­ tiden og sætter fokus på barsel, ligestilling og uddan­ nelse og på vore dages tjenestepige – au pairen.
