“An eminently stylish tale” from the creators of Ada Twist, Scientist, the #1 New York Times bestseller that’s now a Netflix series (Publishers Weekly). In a three-story house with a shop down below, lived the world’s finest hat maker, Madame Chapeau. Like the Lady herself, all her hats were refined. Brilliantly singular. One of a kind. So begins the tale of a lonely hat maker who matches customers to the perfect hat but lacks her own perfect match in life. Once a year, on her birthday, Madame Chapeau ventures out in her favorite bonnet to dinner. This time, a crow snatches her hat and flies away. Mon dieu! As she chases the crow through the streets of Paris, a baker, a policeman, a cowboy, and others offer her their own hats to wear. None of them are quite right, though, until one special little girl offers her a hat “knitted with love and [her] best birthday wish.” From the bestselling team behind Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer comes this delightful and very stylish story about love, community, and friendship, with some fancy hats thrown in for good measure. “Beaty carries the bounces and lilts to the very last page. Roberts’ colorful, exaggerated hats (many of which are modeled on real designs) whimsically adorn the multicultural Parisian public . . . The underlying suggestion that no one is as alone as they believe is lovely enough, but the fun of reading this aloud elevates it even more.” —Kirkus Reviews

A record of crests of Suffolk and Norfolk families arranged by charge or object, covering 600 years and c.8,000 names. This volume offers a comprehensive guide to the heraldry of Suffolk over more than six centuries, covering around 8,000 names and acting as a companion to the earlier Dictionary of Suffolk Arms(1965). It is the first attempt to produce an Ordinary of crests, a classification by charge or object using standardised groupings, arranged in such a manner that they may be readily identified when the name of the bearer is unknown; the usual arrangement isalphabetical by name, an Armory. Although it relates specifically to Suffolk, many crests relating to Norfolk families are given, the two counties having always been closely connected heraldically and genealogically. The book willbe of interest for all those interested in heraldry and, on a wider level, act as a handbook for the identification of crests when borne alone, on artefacts ranging from signet rings and silverware to pub signs and school uniformcrests. JOAN CORDER, the author of a Dictionary of Suffolk Arms, is an independent scholar and recognised authority on East Anglian heraldry.

This book includes: French For Beginners French Short Stories French For Beginners: This book will help you on your journey in French. Don’t rush through the book. You can start with a lesson a day and then use and practice what you learned immediately. Don’t wait until you get to France to actually start speaking French. Once you get through each lesson, get a friend or just about anybody you can practice French with and start gabbing away. The point of language is that it should be used, not just learned. Here’s some topics covered in this book: ▪ French pronunciation ▪ Verbs ▪ Useful Everyday expressions ▪ Conversations ▪ And much more French Short Stories Book: Ready To Learn The French Language quickly and in a practical way with exciting short novels? It is no secret that language proficiency grows through practice. The more you practice a foreign language, the more comfortable you will become with it. For beginner French speakers, it is important not only to expand your vocabulary, but also to build confidence in your ability to speak, read, and master the language. The 21 captivating French stories in this book (I have included one bonus story at the end) have been carefully crafted for new French speakers to help with learning new words and phrases, while also strengthening your confidence by reinforcing what you already know. Did you realize that you are already prepared to read short stories in French? Many of us have spent so much time repeating sentences and conjugating verbs while studying a new language that we haven’t realized that we can assemble that knowledge to read and understand entire stories. So, how should you use this book? It is best to start at the beginning, as the stories in this book will get progressively more sophisticated. Each story comes with a series of questions in French to gauge your comprehension of the story, as well as a glossary of some new words or terms that were introduced in that story. If you have trouble understanding any of the questions in French, refer back to the glossary for help. Words and phrases in the questions that could be confusing are defined in the glossary as well. Each story is also followed by a short synopsis in English for readers who want to make sure they have understood the story’s meaning. We recommend that you read each story—using the glossary definitions if necessary—and then answer the questions. You should refer to the English summaries of the stories only after you have answered the questions. The summaries are a great way to check your answers and determine how well you have understood the material, but it is important to try challenging yourself to understand the French.
