A first outing in English for compassionate DI Gunnar Barbarotti, protagonist of a growing series of novels. On his patch in small-town southern Sweden, he and his astute colleague DI Eva Backman are called in to investigate the disappearance overnight of two members of the same family. The Hermanssons have gathered on the darkest, snowiest day of the year for the landmark birthdays of patriarch and retired teacher Karl-Erik and his favourite daughter Ebba, a successful hospital consultant. With his customary wit and style, Nesser spins a tale of family guilt, lies and emotions festering beneath an ostensibly calm and celebratory surface.

The Grand Expedition is the gently humourous story of two children going on a great adventure… into the back garden. A beautiful children’s picture book with sweet illustrations.

A hilarious and wacky children’s classic by Barbro Lindgren, reminiscent of Spike Milligan’s books, with new illustrations by Lisen Adbåge. A crazy, intergenerational household, a pack of ravenous tigers, a clueless burglar, a cushy jail, a swimming pool that’s a flooded garage, grumpy owls in the mailbox – and those are just for starters. In the words of Pippi Longstocking creator Astrid Lindgren: There’s a sublime sort of craziness to it that catches me unawares every time. Neither Soda Pop nor Mazarin nor Dartanyong speaks a single word of sense, but they will be my friends for life.

Maresi is a novice at the Red Abbey on the island of Menos where men are forbidden and the sisterhood reveres the triple-aspect Goddess: the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. Their self-sufficient spiritual community is ideal, until danger threatens their peaceful lifestyle, and they must harness the mystical powers of feminine magic to save themselves and their home.

The thrilling adventure is beautifully narrated by Maresi herself, an unusual but endearing bookworm heroine.

This first novel in The Red Abbey Chronicles is a magical, inspiring, feminist fantasy thriller, and is perfect reading for ages 12 and up.

A murky past involving the Argentinian junta catches up with a cast of characters in modern day Sweden. Magnus Kalo investigates.

This is the third and final volume of the Löwensköld trilogy, the last work of fiction Selma Lagerlöf wrote. It is a gripping, powerful story in which the reader follows the characters who have appeared in the first two volumes and their descendants.

An edited volume about the history of the renowned Gothenburg art project – the Epidemic of Art! This smaller volume in English accompanies the original Swedish edition and was prepared in collaboration with the editor.

Lindgren, living with her young family in Stockholm, kept extensive diaries throughout the Second World War, which later lay forgotten in a laundry basket for many years. They offer a unique account of a world devastated by conflict, viewed through the eyes of a wife, a mother, an aspiring writer and a guilt-ridden citizen of a neutral state. Alongside accounts of military, political and global events we read vignettes of domestic life, rationing, children’s birthdays, summer holidays with relatives, growing marital tension and the excitement of taking wing as a children’s writer.
