“Once,” says the old man to the animals, “a hunter lived in this forest. Your grandparents lived in fear of him. The twang of his bow sent them running. Then something happened to change that forever . . . ” In this ancient parable from India, a forest-dwelling hunter learns that cruelty has consequences and that compassion has rewards. When the hunter meets the wise man Narada, “Do unto others as they would do unto you” takes on a very concrete meaning as the sage leads the hunter on an imagined journey in which the hunter becomes the hunted. When the hunter realizes how his actions affect other living things, he has a change of heart and begins to live in peace with the animals he once pursued. Kosa Ely adapts this traditional Indian tale into an inviting narrative that presents the universal golden rule in a new and appealing way. Anna Johansson’s richly detailed illustrations evoke the animal kingdom and enchanted forests with fine lines and luminous colors. The Peaceable Forest is the ideal picture book for inspiring young readers to respect life in all its forms.

Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, like all romantic poets is in general a poet who is strong willed and intelligent and possesses a mind which is unusually subtle. While going through his poetry, and more so his nature-poetry, we come across nature sympathetically with unusual unrepudiable emotional response. Moreover, it stands in sharp contrast to the rationalistic moods. Nishank is fond of personifying nature and is simply desirous to associate with the beauteous forms of the world that coexist with the laws and order of the universe. When Nishank fuses the scientific and religious notion, it purports to the metaphysical notion, which is adapted to the natural design of the cosmos. Hence, through this choicest collection of his poems, Nishank agrees to the universal phenomenon that nature provides an influence which spontaneously refines and purifies the soul of human generation. A ‘must read’ collection of representative poems of Shri Nishank.

Ursula travels deep into the New Forest to investigate rumours of a plot to overthrow Queen Elizabeth in this gripping Tudor mystery. May, 1586. Ursula and her retinue return home from a lengthy trip to discover she has an unexpected visitor. Etheldreda Hope is a simple countrywoman who has come to Ursula with disturbing tales of strange goings-on in her rural village.

On reaching Chenston village, deep in the New Forest, Ursula discovers an isolated, suspicious community; the locals deeply in thrall to the old pagan traditions and beliefs. But are these ancient customs harmless - or are they part of a genuine conspiracy against the queen? And, if so, who is behind it? It's not until the night of Halloween that Ursula will discover the shocking truth.
