In Merry Christmas Don Camillo the author's Christmas stories appear alongside his war-time experiences in the prison camps of Germany and Poland, out of which he formed the polemic that would underwrite his work. Included are many tales new to English-speaking readers and some of the best that Guareschi ever wrote.

When Peppone loses out to Don Camillo on a matter of conscience, he must accept the battling priest among a group of Italian activists on a trip he is organising to Mother Russia. There they discover a surprise common denominator, more radical than any political ideology.

Ciao Don Camillo: Volume 1 is the eleventh book in the popular Don Camillo series by Giovanni Guareschi. Shrewd and colourful observations of life in Italy's  most fertile plain and so telling that time and again they reverberate with insights relevant internationally to our lives today.

First time publication in the English language of 26 Don Camillo stories by Giovanni Guareschi.

Beset by the third young progressive leftwing priest with a mandate to steer him into the modern world, Don Camillo digs in and finds a surprise ally in Peppone as he fights to save the three-metre high figure of il Cristo through which he conducts his famous conversations with God.

No. 7 in the Don Camillo Series, this bumper volume of classic Tales from the Lower Plain includes many never before translated into English. Beloved of 23 million readers worldwide, the appeal is universal, to readers aged from 10 to 100.

This is a vintage whodunit, first in the author's Judge's Tales series, a grisly murder in Edwardian London as social revolution and psychiatry posed new questions for the Law and for the first time the Media were co-opted to run a killer to ground. The author draws on his own experience as a Judge at the Old Bailey.

The fifth in the Don Camillo series and the first wholly new anthology to be translated into English for over forty years. As ever, the book includes conversations with God.

In the sixth book in the Don Camillo series a storm breaks and the village priest discovers that the last straw can break even a Camillo's back.

Set against the post-war backdrop of a village in the Emilia-Romagna, this is the second of the newly translated Don Camillo series with sales of more than 23 million copies worldwide.

Set in the 1960s in an Oxford college, when being gay was still an offence punishable by imprisonment, Sandel tells the story of a love affair between an undergraduate (David Rogers), and a cathedral choir boy (Antony Sandel). Tony - beautiful, provocative, mischievous, sensitive and sometimes overwhelmed by the intensity of his own feelings - bewitches Rogers. Both are talented musicians, and Sandel's astonishing voice, which Rogers explores as his accompanist at the transient moment of glory which precedes it breaking, is soon central to the relationship.Sensual, profound, often funny and never sentimental, Stewart provides a definitive analysis of same-sex love in the context of a relationship that reveals love as the one agent of the human condition that can set us free.The setting of the novel in an Oxford college (actually Christ Church, which the author attended) and the well-observed description of life in an English choir-school - short trousers, boats on the river, afternoon tea and cricket before Evensong - along with the stylistic quality of the writing, places Sandel in a tradition made famous by Evelyn Waugh (Decline and Fall' and Brideshead Revisited). There are echoes too of Maurice, the novel by E M Forster, published after his death in 1970.On both sides of the Atlantic, Sandel became formative reading for a generation of boys growing up in the 1970s who knew their feelings fell outside the heterosexual male stereotype, and it remains a gay cult novel today. But its fundamental message holds good for all people in all eras whatever their sexual persuasion, and is delivered with great subtlety and skill by a master craftsman.AUTHOR Angus Stewart was born in 1936, the son of John Innes Mackintosh Stewart, the novelist and Oxford academic who wrote bestselling crime fiction as Michael Innes. He was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset, and later at Christ Church Oxford. Stewart's first published work was 'The Stile' (1965), which won the Richard Hillary Memorial Prize. Sandel, which is in many respects autobiographical, came in 1968. Before and after its publication, Stewart lived for long periods in Morocco. In 2016 his personal memoir, Tangier (1977), was reissued in a new edition, including photographs by the author. His experiences there explain a great deal about the autobiographical nature of Sandel, and his exposure to Tangier's legendary artistic community, which included Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, Francis Bacon, Alan Sillitoe, Ruth Fainlight, Rupert Croft-Cooke, Alec Waugh, William Burroughs, Gavin Maxwell, Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and others, prepared the way for his second novel, Snow in Harvest (1969). Sense and Inconsequence: Satirical Verses' followed in 1972, with a Foreword by W H Auden. A third novel, The Wind Cries All Ways, which includes a startling description of the author's incarceration in a Tangier mental asylum, has yet to be published. After his mother's death in 1979 Stewart returned to live in England, and died in Oxfordshire twenty years later.

Scruffy is a sad, touching, but ultimately joyful tale of a dog abandoned to the lonely life of a stray, based on the author's actual experience.

These enchanting, wise and strangely moving tales of life in Italy's Emilia-Romagna continue to enthral millions of readers of all ages around the world. In this newly translated volume, many are available in English for the very first time.

The third in the Don Camillo series brings more timeless, bittersweet stories of life in Italy's Lower Plain, many of them in English for the first time.
