Little Masters $24.95
Damien Wilkins

A story of young New Zealanders abroad - Adrian, living in a London
squat with his young son Daniel, and Emily, nanny to eight-year-old
Michaela, daughter of a Midwest doctor - Little Masters is stuffed
full of delicious comic stories and settings - from the Gravitron at
the Wellington Trade Fair, to an insect research laboratory in an
English meadow-which will delight fans of Book Award-winner The
Miserables
and new readers alike.

Not Her Real Name $24.95
Emily Perkins

Emily Perkins brings modern life into harsh and comic focus with a
cinematic vision for character and dialogue and a cast of young and
painfully vulnerable metropolitans. With insight and wit these stories
present a guide to postmodern romance, to the vagaries of city life
and to a chronically self-absorbed generation whose love affairs are
never as important as the last movies they’ve seen.

Katherine Mansfield: $19.95
A ‘Do You Remember’ Life
• Gillian Boddy •

Published with the Katherine Mansfield Birthplace, this book contains
four key stories - ‘A Birthday’, ‘The Wind Blows’, Prelude, ‘The Doll’s
House’ - together with an illustrated introduction. The perfect
introduction to Katherine Mansfield, and an ideal gift or souvenir.
