When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock.

Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war.

Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils. . . Pagford is not what it first seems.

And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?

A big novel about a small town, THE CASUAL VACANCY is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.

The Ickabog is coming... A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children's bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against all odds, from one of the world's best storytellers.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustaches you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth, to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn't ask for and never expected?

If you're feeling brave, step into the pages of this book to find out...

A beautiful digital edition, brought to life with full-colour illustrations by the young winners of The Ickabog competition.

Natürlich weiß Harry, dass das Zaubern in den Ferien strengstens verboten ist, und trotzdem befördert er seine schreckliche Tante mit einem Schwebezauber an die Decke. Die Konsequenz ist normalerweise: Schulverweis! Nicht so bei Harry; im Gegenteil, man behandelt ihn wie in rohes Ei. Hat es etwa damit zu tun, dass ein gefürchteter Verbrecher in die Schule eingedrungen ist und es auf Harry abgesehen hat? Mit seinen Freunden Ron und Hermine versucht Harry ein Geflecht aus Verrat, Rache, Feigheit und Verleumdung aufzudröseln und stößt dabei auf Dinge, die ihn fast an seinem Verstand zweifeln lassen.

Harry Potter è un ragazzo normale, o quantomeno è convinto di esserlo, anche se a volte provoca strani fenomeni, come farsi ricrescere i capelli inesorabilmente tagliati dai perfidi zii. Vive con loro al numero 4 di Privet Drive: una strada di periferia come tante, dove non succede mai nulla fuori dall’ordinario. Finché un giorno, poco prima del suo undicesimo compleanno, riceve una misteriosa lettera che gli rivela la sua vera natura: Harry è un mago e la Scuola di Magia e Stregoneria di Hogwarts è pronta ad accoglierlo...

Con las manos temblorosas, Harry le dio la vuelta al sobre y vio un sello de lacre púrpura con un escudo de armas: un león, un águila, un tejón y una serpiente, que rodeaban una gran letra H.

Harry Potter nunca había oído nada sobre Hogwarts cuando las cartas comienzan a caer en el felpudo del número cuatro de Privet Drive. Escritas en tinta verde en un pergamino amarillento con un sello morado, sus horribles tíos las han confiscado velozmente. En su undécimo cumpleaños, un hombre gigante de ojos negros llamado Rubeus Hagrid aparece con una noticia extraordinaria: Harry Potter es un mago y tiene una plaza en el Colegio Hogwarts de Magia y Hechicería. ¡Una aventura increíble está a punto de empezar!
