'"Good story" means something worth telling that the world wants to hear. Finding this is your lonely task... but the love of a good story, of terrific characters and a world driven by your passion, courage and creative gifts is still not enough. Your goal must be a good story well told.' Robert McKee

This omnibus edition - now in hardback - contains much of Norman Thelwell's invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get into the saddle and stay there; each item illustrated with inimitable and deadly clarity. From the first publication of Angels on Horseback in 1957, the Thelwell pony entered the language and the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere. The angels in Angels on Horseback are children, but there is plenty here about their parents. Both for those who know Thelwell, and for those who have not met him before, this book is a savoury at all times but especially after attending a gymkhana. Since their debut appearance in Punch over sixty years ago, Norman Thelwell's cartoons and drawings have delighted millions of people all over the world. His portrayals of sporting pursuits, human beings at play, the life of the countryside and, of course, ponies, are the products of a unique comic genius.

DIALOGUE is the follow-up title to Robert McKee's hugely successful STORY.

Originally delivered as a lecture in Paris in 1945, "Existentialism and Humanism" is Sartre's seminal defence of his original doctrine of existentialism and a plan for its practical application to everyday human life.

Robert McKee & Thomas Gerace's new book Storynomics translates the lessons of storytelling in business into economic and leadership success

An hilarious companion volume to Thelwell's 'Magnificat'.

From the Orinoco River to the hothouses of Kew, this is a dark and humorous tale of orchid smugglers, visionary breeders; of corruption and murder; and of the bizarre world of international plant politics and the gentle people whose passion is the cultivation of these beautiful, fragile flowers.

One of the most well-loved and best-selling humour titles of all time.

Action - The art of excitement for screen, page and game.

Full colour, re-originated edition of a forgotten classic by the author of "Gormenghast". "I am now many miles further to the North-East and am writing from a cave in a gaunt hillside. When Jackson and I sat down to rest we could see our footprints stretching back to the edge of the world..."

As every dog owner knows, man's best friend is a complex bundle of appetites, instincts and winsome wiles. Few first-time owners will realise, however, quite what they are taking on. But Thelwell's comic compendium will explain everything you need to know and provide a new leash of life.

Norman Thelwell took his first kitten home in a shopping-bag slung from the handlebars of his bicycle at the age of ten. He still has the scars to prove it. "Magnificat" is a comic tribute to the mysterious relationship human beings have long had with the feline species.

When "The Life of Brian" was first released in 1979 it was hailed by most as Monty Python's finest parody and denounced by a few as the most blasphemous film of all time. But, with its unforgettable songs and its infinitely quotable script it has gone on to become an enduring cult classic.

The words and music from Tom Lehrer's recorded collections - 'Songs by Tom Lehrer', 'An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer' and 'That Was the Year That Was' - including some songs previously unpublished.

What did Basil Fawlty fail to avoid mentioning? Why did Sybil keep snagging her cardies? Where was Polly on the night of the Great Wedding Anniversary disaster? This book presents the scripts for the show's classic episodes.
