John and Susan are back at Scatterbrook - this time in May, though that makes little difference to the havoc caused by Worzel Gummidge and his fellow scarecrows, Earthy Mangold and Hannah Harrow. Unfortunate results ensue from their antics, including a swarm of bees invading the living room of Mrs. Bloomsbury-Barton. Worzel also has a go at flying before coming down to earth with a crash. First published in 1949, this is the fifth in the series of Barbara Euphan Todd's Worzel Gummidge novels.

In this entertaining anthology of seven new ghost stories, written especially for Naxos AudioBooks, we meet all kinds of phantoms in different situations: a kind-hearted but accident-prone spectre unwittingly upsetting a family home, as well as ghosts in ancient Egypt, on board a pirate ship, and in a Newcastle swimming pool. Engaging and slightly sinister, The Clumsy Ghost and Other Spooky Tales is a delightful shiver for all the family.

Ziggy loves coming up with new inventions. Unfortunately, though, most of his inventions just don't work out, like the square "Ziggyball" or the "shulstilts" he makes for Rabbi Levi. Ziggy's father sells buns for Moishe the Baker, but Mrs. Schwartz always complains that the buns are undercooked at the center. That's when Ziggy puts his creative mind to work, with his idea for making the bakers' buns tastier and easier to carry, leading to the creation of one of the world's favorite treats - the bagel!

Qui a Topazia, nell'isola dei Topi, i miei libri sono tutti bestseller! Ma come, non li conoscete?

It's summertime, and the weather on Hank's West Texas ranch is hot and dry. So dry, in fact, that everyone is on the lookout for prairie fires. So Hank bravely adds the title of Head of Fire Safety to his already impressive list of responsibilities and gets to work. But patrolling for fires is dull, and it's hard to do on an empty stomach. Despite the distractions - desperate hunger, a cruel trick at the hands of Pete the Barncat - Hank somehow manages to stay focused on the job at hand.
