Five Children and It
Introduction and Notes by Gillian Avery
Illustrations by H. R. Millar
While exploring one day, five siblings find
a Psammead, a magical Sand-fairy. Every
day, the ancient and irritable creature
grants each of them a wish that lasts until
sunset. But their wishes never seem to turn
out right and often have consequences
that are unexpected, humorous, and
sometimes dangerous.

Apologia pro Vita Sua
Edited with an Introduction by Ian Ker
This spiritual autobiography of great
power was written in response to personal
attacks and conceived as a justification
of his own actions when Newman’s
conversion to Roman Catholicism rocked
the Church of England and escalated the
spread of anti-Catholicism in Victorian
England.

Revolutionary Suicide
Introduction by Fredrika Newton
Cover art by Ho Che Anderson
This famous and oft-quoted
autobiography is as much a manifesto
as a portrait of the inner circle of
America’s Black Panther Party. From
Newton’s impoverished childhood to his
adolescence and struggles with the system,
from his role in the Black Panthers to
his solitary confinement in the Alameda
County Jail, Revolutionary Suicide is
smart and unrepentant in its portrayal of
inspired radicalism.
