Camille y los Girasoles, libro ilustrado a todo color por el propio autor, está basado en un episodio real de la vida del genial pintor Vincent Van Gogh. Algunas de las ilustraciones de este volumen -especialmente dirigido a niños que aman el arte o que disfrutan con una bonita historia- son reproducciones de las obras de este artista holandés. Camille y los Girasoles narra la amistad entre un pintor que nunca conoció la fama y un niño, Camille, al que el artista le demuestra cariño y agradecimiento retratándolo junto a toda su familia. Al lado de estos retratos, aparece el cuadro de los famosos girasoles, las flores que Camille le regaló al pintor, y que supuso una de las catorce obras pictóricas más importantes de la historia. Gracias a ella, y solo después de su muerte, el rechazo a Vincent Van Gogh -que durante su vida sólo vendió un cuadro y fue a su hermano- se convirtió en verdadera admiración.

Claude Monet, el fundador del movimiento impresionista en pintura, es además uno de los pintores de paisajes más notables de la historia del arte occidental. Desde su juventud comenzó a pintar al aire libre, buscando captar y reflejar en sus obras las sutiles variaciones de luz y atmósfera que se producían con el paso de las horas y con el cambio de las estaciones. Este hermoso libro muestra cómo Julia, una pequeña niña ingresa en un jardín y encuentra a un anciano cuidando las flores. Él la invita a recorrer el lugar y así ella ûy los lectoresû van recorriendo algunos de los lugares y escenas más característicos de la pintura impresionista. La razón no es casual, porque el gentil anciano es el célebre pintor Claude Monet. El libro incluye hermosas reproducciones a todo color de las obras más significativas del gran pintor francés.

''Quirky, compelling and thoroughly enjoyable'' Kate Ellis ''A super start to the series'' Frances Brody ''An entertaining murder mystery . . . witty'' L C Tyler Buddhism, love, art and murder - welcome to the world of the Mindful Detective When a famously narcissistic performance artist is found floating in a tank of formaldehyde at her own private view, suspicion falls on those closest to her . . . Leading the murder investigation is DI Shanti Joyce, recently transferred from London to Yeovil following the collapse of her marriage and a case that went wrong. She soon concludes that the mystery requires left-field thinking, and when a colleague at the station suggests Vince Caine, aka the Mindful Detective, Shanti tracks him down to his remote cabin on the Undercliff at Lyme Regis. The pair delve into the artist''s Bohemian circle and discover a hotbed of resentment and jealousy stretching all the way back to her scandalous art school days in Falmouth. But as they soon realise, the murderer is both canny and elusive - someone with a complex, warped motive who will do anything to point them elsewhere. Has Shanti made the wrong decision enlisting the unconventional and enigmatic Caine? Can the unlikely mix of her down-to-earth pragmatism and his otherworldly intuition really prove a winning combination? Or will a killer escape justice and leave Shanti''s reputation in tatters?
