The Tales of Beedle the Bard - Illustrated Edition
An essential companion to the Harry Potter books, The Tales of Beedle the Bard is a collection of fairytales from the wizarding world, via the enchanted pen of J.K. Rowling. Rich with allusions and symbols from the Harry Potter stories, and enhanced with fascinating commentary from beloved sage Professor Albus Dumbledore, this is a Hogwarts Library book to treasure and enjoy for years to come. All of the gorgeous, grim and gothic detail of the Bard's five bewitching tales has been brought to life by Chris Riddell, thrice winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal. Much loved by generations of witches and wizards, and translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger, this beautiful edition is the perfect gift for Harry Potter fans. Mischievous and witty, Beedle the Bard's stories are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairytales. Kindnesses are rewarded and selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard. Burping cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way. Each tale is brought vividly to life with Riddell's trademark wry humour and elegance, including 'The Tale of the Three Brothers', familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it plays in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now available in a paperback format featuring a brand new cover by Chris Riddell, this edition contains all of the mesmerising illustrations from the original hardback plus an exclusive additional art print of Harry, Ron and Hermione for readers to take out and keep. Prepare to be spellbound! The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of Lumos, an international children's charity founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling.

Personal Demons
Possession Narratives of Late Liberalism“A thrilling and utterly original book. Propulsively readable; Lavery’s luminous prose carries us through a captivating archive to reveal the surprising centrality of the trope of transsexual demonic possession to contemporary debates over embodiment, consciousness, agency, and the possibility of shared reality. When liberal rights claims have so spectacularly failed to defend trans kids (or trans adults), we need this book and Grace Lavery’s singular voice.”—Ann Pellegrini, coauthor of Gender Without Identity“Grace Lavery is a daring, daunting, and dazzling writer. In Personal Demons she offers an utterly mesmerizing account of how transsexual subjectivity challenges neoliberal reason. Lavery writes a captivating and archly critical voice, and reads with uncanny sensitivity to both generic genealogy and textual detail. This is essential, urgent reading for anyone inhabiting the death throes of liberalism.”—Bill Brown, Karla Scherer Distinguished Service Professor in American Culture, University of Chicago

Hounded
Women, Harms and the Gender Wars"A tremendous book." Jo Phoenix, University of Reading "This passionate and beautifully written book is balm to the soul of those of us who, like the author, have suffered the distressing experience of being hounded because we dare to speak about the impact of being of the female sex. The personal and psychological cost of being one of those disagreeable women is very high. But as Lindsay makes abundantly clear, the cost of remaining silent is higher: the destruction of women's rights and of liberal democracy itself." Helen Joyce, author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality "A shocking compendium showing how women from all walks of life have been disenfranchised, ostracised, threatened, and worse for believing in the importance of biological sex, told in a compelling and compassionate way." Kathleen Stock, author of Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism "An excellent and profoundly angering analysis of the way in which women who have spoken out in the ‘gender wars’ have been punished. The costs to women documented here – where the punishment is always the process – will be familiar to far too many." Sarah Pedersen, Robert Gordon University "Jenny Lindsay’s Hounded: Women, Harms and the Gender Wars is a reminder of why compassion is so vital for social justice work in a liberal democracy. Lindsay lays bare the dark side of the gender identity debates, exposing the damage caused by online smear campaigns, harassment, and violence targeting gender critical feminists. While I vehemently disagree with Lindsay and other gender critical feminists on sex, gender, and trans inclusion, we do not have to be on the same side to know that terrorizing those with differing beliefs is illiberal and dehumanizing. Hounded serves as a crucial wake-up call to the silencing impulses on the left that stifle meaningful debates, and the human cost of this silencing." Caroline Heldman, Occidental College "Herself a victim of hounding, Jenny Lindsay doesn't let her scars get in the way, and tells the sobering story of women who paid a disproportionate price for speaking out against gender identity ideology. Riveting and meticulously researched, Hounded is an unflinching diary of the gender wars." Umut Özkýrýmlý, IBEI (Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals) and Blanquerna University, author of Cancelled: The Left Way Back from Woke "Jenny Lindsay’s careful argument about the debate over gender identity theory is a model for progressive politics—passionate but carefully argued, and unstinting in its concern for women." Robert Jensen, Emeritus Professor, University of Texas at Austin, author of It’s Debatable: Talking Authentically about Tricky Topics "Lindsay has written a clear-headed but passionate tale of women’s resistance to an insidious form of bullying and social exclusion. She has provided us with the tools of resistance. Lindsay is a warrior" Julie Bindel, feminist and writer, author of Feminism for Women "Her book is a compelling and vital chronicle of how she, and far too many other women, have been victimised for daring to insist upon the truthfulness of material reality." Alex Massie, The Sunday Times "brilliant… a calm, meticulous, compassionate book on a deeply painful topic" Victoria Smith, The Critic "immensely valuable… compelling" Robert Jessel, The Critic "scrupulous" Spiked "one of the most important political books ever to have been written about Scottish culture and politics"The Herald"Lindsay’s excellent, energetic book […] should be on the reading list of every MSP and MP in the country."The Scotsman"your book will rightly be seen as one of the definitive chronicles of these times."J.K. Rowling (posted on X 19/12/2024) "This illuminating book shows why the Supreme Court's ruling was in everybody's interests." Morning Star
