New Releases by Sylvia PLATH

''Everything that passes before her eyes travels down from brain to pen with shattering clarity - 1950s New England, pre-co-ed Cambridge, pre-mass tourism Benidorm, where she and Hughes honeymooned, the birth of her son Nicholas in Devon in 1962. These and other passages are so graphic that you look up from the page surprised to find yourself back in the here and now . . . The struggle of self with self makes the Journals compelling and unique.'' John Carey, Sunday Times

Three classic children''s stories, Mrs Cherry''s Kitchen, The Bed Book and The It Doesn''t Matter Suit, collected together in one volume for the first time.

Max Nix lives with his six brothers and Papa and Mama Nix in a small village called Winkelburg. Max likes where he lives and he''s happy - except for one thing: Max longs for a suit. Not just an ordinary work-a-day suit, but a suit for doing Everything. One day, a mysterious parcel arrives but whom is it for? When it is opened the fun begins - for inside is a perfectly marvellous suit, and the first person who tries it on is Papa . . . This is a delightful book. Written with the rhythm and energy that made The Bed Book a perennial favourite, and gloriously illustrated by the acclaimed German artist Rotraut Susanne Berner, it has all the ingredients of a classic children''s picture book. Adult fans of Sylvia Plath will be as captivated as young children by the sensational story of Max''s ''woolly, whiskery, brand new, mustard-yellow It Doesn''t Matter suit.''
