‘I live an ordinary life thanks to one extraordinary dog. Kika opened up the world to me again. She’s made what once seemed impossible possible.' In 2013 Amit Patel is working as a trauma doctor when a rare condition causes him to lose his sight within thirty-six hours. Totally dependent on others and terrified of stepping outside with a white cane after a horrifying assault, he hits rock bottom. He refuses to leave home on his own for three months. With the support of his wife Seema he slowly begins to adapt to his new situation, but how could life ever be the way it was? Then his guide dog Kika comes along . . . But Kika’s stubbornness almost puts her guide dog training in jeopardy – could her quirky personality be a perfect match for someone? Meanwhile Amit has reservations – could he trust a dog with his safety? Paired together in 2015, they start on a journey, learning to trust each other before taking to the streets of London and beyond. The partnership not only gives Amit a renewed lease of life but a new best friend. Then, after a video of an irate commuter rudely asking Amit to step aside on an escalator goes viral, he sets out with Kika by his side to spread a message of positivity and inclusivity, showing that nothing will hold them back. From the challenges of travelling when blind to becoming a parent for the first time, Kika & Me is the moving, heart-warming and inspirational story of Amit’s sight-loss journey and how one guide dog changed his world.

'This book includes some of the greatest of our poetry. I hope that it adds up to a new way of thinking about who we have been, and who we are now.' We British is much more than an anthology. This is a veritable history of Britain, told through the verse of its greatest poets. With the entertaining and enlightening Andrew Marr as our guide, we travel from Saxon settlements to medieval courts, from Shakespeare's Globe to the battlefields of the Somme, ending up here in the present day. On the way we will meet Middle English ploughmen, Tudor drunks, Scottish farmers, West Country priests, a Warwickshire actor, and many more bards and balladeers from across the British Isles, each adding their own distinct voice to the chorus. From Caedmon to Zephaniah, the poets we meet will paint a powerful portrait of what it means to be British.

More than just an anthology, WE BRITISH is a history of Britain told through its poetry. Written by Britain's most celebrated political commentator for World Poetry Day.

ONE DOOMED PRIME MINISTER. TWO WOULD-BE SUCCESSORS. BUT WHO'S PULLING THE STRINGS? The second novel from Britain's foremost political commentator is a thrillingly intimate look at the inner workings of Whitehall, and who really controls party politics. The Labour Party has unexpectedly won a narrow majority in the 2018 general election. But the new government is weak and divided, its unpopular leader embattled in the House of Commons. A group of eminent figures from the party's past see an opportunity to re-establish their grip over its future by replacing the prime minister with a figurehead they can manipulate to their own ends. But who will they choose? Two possible candidates emerge from the recent intake of MPs: David Petrie, a self-made Scot with a working-class background and a troubled personal history; and Caroline Phillips, a high-flying Londoner whose complicated private life could be either her greatest handicap, or her greatest asset. Against a backdrop of intrigue and betrayal at the Palace of Westminster, both must struggle with the sacrifices and compromises they will have to make if they are to seize the greatest political prize of all. In his second novel, Andrew Marr draws on his unrivalled inside knowledge of British politics to expose the foibles, duplicities and absurdities of those we elect to govern us.

The story follows Gwion Williams, who embarks on a perilous journey into a cyberspace-created elf forest after his friend Kerry mysteriously disappears during a baseball game. As Gwion discovers that Kerry has been kidnapped by elves seeking to steal his soul, he learns that his sister Gwen and friend Margot are also in danger. This adventure challenges Gwion to confront profound themes about the nature of the soul while navigating a fantastical world, making it a captivating read for audiences of all ages.

Elżbieta II, jedna z najdłużej panujących monarchów angielskich jest zagadką. Publicznie ogranicza się do optymistycznej nieszczerości i pełnych rezerwy uśmiechów, prywatnie – wesoła, zabawna, ale też złośliwa, doskonała parodystka. Czołowy brytyjski dziennikarz opowiada fascynującą historię prawdziwej Elżbiety. Wstąpiła na tron mając zaledwie dwadzieścia pięć lat i przez sześćdziesiąt lat stoi na czele brytyjskiego państwa. Zna wielu światowych przywódców, wie więcej niż ktokolwiek inny o konfliktach i przyjaźniach największych mocarstw. Widziała, jak jej syn i następca, książę Karol, prowadzi cudzołożny romans, przeżyła śmierć księżnej Diany, niechęć obywateli i rodziny, bunt wnuków. Lecz nawet po wyjawieniu licznych rodzinnych sekretów, pomimo plotek, domniemywań i wielu załamań nigdy nie zaniedbała swoich obowiązków i nie powiedziała słowa o kłopotach, jakie przeżyła. Cena, jaką musiała zapłacić za ten pozorny spokój była ogromna. Andrew Marr napisał książkę o kobiecie, która przez cały okres panowania tak skutecznie chroniła swoją prywatność, że wszyscy pytamy dziś: „Jaka naprawdę jest Elżbieta?” Andrew Marr, dziennikarz autor wielu bestsellerów. Prowadzi w telewizji BBC program Andrew Marr Show. Jego najbardziej znanej książce A History of Modern Britain towarzyszył serial telewizyjny BBC, który zdobył jedną z najbardziej prestiżowych nagród brytyjskiej telewizji. Marr mieszka w Londynie z żoną i trójką dzieci.
