The Smallest Man: the most uplifting book of the year
by Frances Quinn&‘I want you to remember something, Nat. You&’re small on the outside. But inside you&’re as big as everyone else. You show people that and you won&’t go far wrong in life.&’ A compelling story perfect for fans of The Doll Factory, The Illumination of Ursula Flight and The Familiars. My name is Nat Davy. Perhaps you&’ve heard of me? There was a time when people up and down the land knew my name, though they only ever knew half the story. The year of 1625, it was, when a single shilling changed my life. That shilling got me taken off to London, where they hid me in a pie, of all things, so I could be given as a gift to the new queen of England. They called me the queen&’s dwarf, but I was more than that. I was her friend, when she had no one else, and later on, when the people of England turned against their king, it was me who saved her life. When they turned the world upside down, I was there, right at the heart of it, and this is my story. Inspired by a true story, and spanning two decades that changed England for ever, The Smallest Man is a heartwarming tale about being different, but not letting it hold you back. About being brave enough to take a chance, even if the odds aren&’t good. And about how, when everything else is falling apart, true friendship holds people together.Praise for The Smallest Man: &‘Nat Davy is so charming that I couldn't bear to put this book down. I loved it&’ Louise Hare &‘A perfect fusion of history and invention… Nat&’s wit and humour make the poignancy of his story all the more powerful&’ Beth Morrey 'What a page-turner! A timely tale celebrating courage, determination and friendship' Anita Frank &‘A perfectly formed masterpiece&’ C.S. Quinn &‘I loved this book - a fascinating tale of extraordinary accomplishment, and a story about how anything is possible and how love has always been a beacon of hope&’ Phillip Schofield 'I found myself rooting for the Smallest Man in England from the very first page' Sonia Velton &‘A beautiful, heartwarming tale, weaving history and fiction intricately and seamlessly… I loved this book&’ Louise Fein &‘This book took me on an epic journey with a character that will always have a special place in my heart&’ Emma Cooper &‘An engaging, compelling, thought-provoking story of a life less ordinary&’ Caroline Scott &‘A beguiling and well-written tale&’ Ellen Alpsten &‘I absolutely fell for the book&’s narrator: an ebullient character whose voice and world view I adored&’ Polly Crosby

by Lawrence DorfmanThe lord of snark, Lawrence Dorfman, is back! With this treasury of backhanded compliments, sarcastic insults, and catty comebacks, Dorfman gives us transformative wisdom that's sure to change your life-or at least induce a light chuckle.One question plagues us all: How do we survive all the Sturm und Drang of everyday life? The answer is but one word: snark."She wears her clothes as if they were thrown on by a pitchfork." -Jonathan Swift"Why don't you get a haircut? You look like a chrysanthemum." -P. G. Wodehouse"He's a mental midget with the IQ of a fence post." -Tom Waits"They hardly make 'em like him anymore-but just to be on the safe side, he should be castrated anyway." -Hunter S. Thompson"He has a Teflon brain . . . nothing sticks" -Lily Tomlin"He has no more backbone than a chocolate éclair." -Theodore RooseveltSnark will keep the wolves at bay (or at least out on the porch). Snark, much like a double scotch, will help you deal with relatives, shopping, and rudeness; it is an outlet for the unleashed vitriolic bile that's saved itself up over the months. Like a shield, it will protect you while you go about your life. Snark is your answer!

The Snark Handbook: Insult Edition (Snark Series)
by Lawrence DorfmanAuthor Lawrence Dorfman claims: "I love it when someone insults me. That means that I don't have to be nice anymore." In this latest incarnation of his bestselling series, Dorfman is in delicious form, dishing it out without any real consequences. The sharp-witted buyer (and that's you, my friend) may be wondering right about now: "Hey, how is this book any different from the first? That was full of insults, too." Yes, but these insults are different, and the author's retorts and taunts are so much more vitriolic than in the previous book. Readers will find more material to actually use in day-to-day life, including streamlined instructions on when and how to mock your peers; how to use retorts with your spouse and children; and how our late, great ancestors used insults throughout history. This is not a mere collection of quotations. Dorfman speaks directly to his audience, serving as teacher, ringleader, and historian. After all, not all insults are snarky, and not all snark is insulting. It takes a certain genius to define and navigate the fine line between idiotic commentary and intelligent snark, a genius that has been isolated and packaged with aplomb in the new Snark Handbook: Insult Edition.
