Being Freddie: My Story so Far - Andrew Flintoff - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Being Freddie: My Story so Far - Andrew Flintoff - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Andrew ''Freddie'' Flintoff is one of the most exciting cricketers in the world and has improved out of all recognition during the last two years. In 2003, he was England''s best player at the World Cup. Then, explosively, he lit up the second half of the summer in 2004, lifting spirits at Lord''s with a bat-smashing 142. He walked off with the England man of the series award and averages to flaunt. This book marks his story so far in his own words, taking us up to and including the summer of 2005, during which Flintoff has performed heroics with both bat and ball against Australia. Freddie will highlight the moments and matches in his career that helped him dramatically on his way forward, and reveals what it is like to play for one of the most successful England cricket teams in history.

Lucky Bunny - Jill Dawson - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Lucky Bunny - Jill Dawson - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Crime''s a man''s business. So they say. Who was that small figure then, slender enough to trot along the moonlit track, swift and low, virtually invisible? Who was it that covered the green signal with a glove to stop the train, while the two others took care of the driver and his mate? Could it have been one Queenie Dove, survivor of the Depression and the Blitz, not to mention any number of scrapes with the law? Queenie Dove is a self-proclaimed genius when it comes to thieving and escape. Daring, clever and sexy, she ducked and dived through the streets of London from the East End through Soho to Mayfair, graduating from childhood shop-lifting to more glamorous crimes in the post-war decades. So was she wicked through and through, or more sinned against than sinning? Here she tells a vivacious tale of trickery and adventure, but one with more pain and heartbreak than its heroine cares to admit. Yes, luck often favoured her, but that is only part of the story.

''A spirit-lifting debut'' DAVID MITCHELL ''I will never forget these characters: so pained and funny, so brilliantly drawn, wrestled with and forgiven'' HELEN GARNER ''Meltingly warm'' OBSERVER Local boy Téo Erskine is back in the north London suburb of his youth, visiting his father - stubborn, selfish, complicated Vic. Things have changed for Téo: he''s got a steady job, a brand-new car and a London flat all concrete and glass, with a sliver of a river view. Except, underneath the surface, not much has changed at all. He''s still the boy seeking his father''s approval; the young man playing late-night poker with his best friend, unreliable, infuriating Ben Mossam; the one still desperately in love with the enigmatic Lia Woods. Lia''s life, on the other hand, has been transformed: now a single mum to two-year-old Joel, she doesn''t have time for anyone - not even herself.When the unthinkable happens, Joel finds himself at the centre of an odd constellation of men - Téo, Vic, Ben - none of whom is fully equipped to look after him, but whose strange, tentative attempts at love might just be enough to offer him a new place to call home.

The Finch in My Brain - Martino Sclavi - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

The Finch in My Brain - Martino Sclavi - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Whenever I see Martino I am reminded of how little I know about life and death compared to him. How we don''t know what is within us or what may lie on the other side. I hope it''s as magical and beautiful as this book.'' RUSSELL BRAND ''Raw, brave, heart-lifting.'' STEF PENNY, author of UNDER THE POLE STAR When film producer Martino Sclavi began experiencing intense headaches, he attributed them to his frenetic lifestyle. As it turned out, he had grade 4 brain cancer and was given 18 months to live. After undergoing brain surgery - while awake - Martino found he had lost the ability to recognise words. His response was to close his eyes and begin to move his fingers across the keyboard to write this, an account of life before diagnosis and since. Martino defied all predictions, words read out to him by the monotone of a computerised voice he calls Alex. Learning to live in a new way. This book - that he has written but could not read - charts the effects of his experience: on his relationship with his young son, his marriage, his work and with himself. In the wake of his illness, everything must be reconfigured and Martino is made to question the habits, dreams and beliefs of his old life and confront the present. What he finds is strange and beautiful. Searching for the words between life and death, Sclavi shows that with determination and a subtle, persistent sense of humour, it is possible to change the story of our lives.
