A new suspect for the role of Jack the Ripper - in his own words • This manuscript was found in papers belonging to Hulme Beauman, the creator of the radio series Toytown and Larry the Lamb, by Alan Hicken. It is written by a man called James Carnac and is an account of his life, including the period when he became the murderer known to posterity as ‘Jack the Ripper’. Ultimately it is up to the reader to decide. Is this a piece of fiction? If so it has to be one of the very earliest imaginings of the Ripper case, written in the early years of the twentieth century and a fascinating piece of period writing. However, is it non-fiction? There is information in this book that does not appear to be derived from contemporary newspapers or any other publications and the descriptions of Tottenham in the 1870s, the visits to performances of Jekyll and Hyde, the intricate geography of Whitechapel in 1888 are written with pin-point accuracy

In The Joy of Tax, tax campaigner Richard Murphy challenges almost every idea you have about tax. For him, tax is fundamentally about the ideas that shape the sort of society we want to live in, not technicalities. His intention is to demonstrate that there is indeed a joy in tax, and by embracing it we can create a fairer society and change the world for the better • Tax has been a feature of human society for a very long time. Almost no one gives tax a good press even though, as Richard Murphy argues, it has been fundamental to the development of democracy the world over. Whilst we may not like tax very much, in contrast it is clear that we really do like the public services which governments provide. So much so, in fact, that for most of the last 300 years, people have been more than happy for governments to run deficits by spending more than they raise in taxation

Большинство из нас, вырастая, всегда знали, что нужно прикасаться к дереву или скрещивать пальцы, и что происходит, когда принцесса целует лягушку или мальчик вытаскивает меч из камня, но, к сожалению, некоторые из этих вещей сейчас начинают забываться. Легенды, мифы, сказки: наш мир состоит из историй, которые мы рассказывали себе о том, откуда мы пришли и как мы туда попали. То же самое происходит и в Плоском мире, за исключением того, что существа, которые на Земле являются плодами воображения - такие как вампиры, тролли, ведьмы и, возможно, боги, - реальны, живы и в некоторых случаях брыкаются на Диске • В "Фольклоре плоского мира" Терри Пратчетт объединяется с ведущим британским фольклористом Жаклин Симпсон, чтобы непочтительно, но в то же время проясняюще взглянуть на живые мифы и фольклорный материал, которые отражены, прославляются и с любовью поносятся в уникальной творческой вселенной Плоского мира
