Paul Auster, 4321, Faber & Faber, 2017

'According to family legend, Ferguson's grandfather

departed on foot from his native city of Minsk with

one hundred rubles sewn into the lining of his jacket...'

'the crowning work of this masterful writer's extra -
ordinary career'.

​

Sandra Chesterman, Figurework, The Nude and
Life Modelling in New Zealand Art, University of

Otago Press, 2002

A fascinating study of this important strand of New
Zealand art practice which also, unusually, explores

the working conditions of the models themselves -
a topic not focused on in the recent The Body Laid

Bare exhibition, Auckland Art Gallery.

Carol Ann Duffy, Feminine Gospels, Picador, 2002

Challenging and entertaining visions and re-visions

of female identity - 'at once tender and subversive'.

Bruno Vincent, Enid Blyton, Five on Brexit Island,
Quercus, 2016

'I believe that Britain is great, and Kirrin Island is
great too - and they are better...together!'

Also in stock Five go Gluten Free, Five Go Parenting,

Five Forget Mother's Day...

Lisbeth Kaiser, ill. Leire Salaberria, Little People, Big

Dreams, Maya Angelou, Frances Lincoln Children's

Books, 2016

Inspiring, beautifully illustrated story of major writer
Maya Angelou's (I Know why the Caged Bird Sings)
life and work.

essays Alexa Johnston, Victoria Carr, Linda Tyler,
A Table of One's Own: The Creative Life of Anne

McCahon, McCahon House Trust Te Uru, Centre

for Art Studies, University of Auckland, 2017

In 1943, both Anne Hamblett and her husband Colin
McCahon exhibited at The French Maid Cafe,
Wellington, with Art New Zealand describing her work
as extremely individual'.This booklet of important 

essays brings back into focus Anne McCahon's 

promising early art practice. It's non-visual cover,

however, returns the artist to invisibility. For Tivoli's

August Books' we have used its frontispiece.

Hugh Nicol, Microbes by the Million, Pelican,

Penguin (1939), 1945

'conveys much accurate information on microbes,
what they are and what they do'.

Most chapters open with a quotation from Alice in
Wonderland or Through the Looking-glass.
