|title=The It Doesn't Matter Suit and Other Stories
|author=Sylvia Plath and David Roberts
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=I've said it before and I'll say it again, that you should always approach classical authors through their least typical, shortest and more individual works – you won't gain much insight perhaps into why they were famous, but you will find more entertainment and greater pleasures by staying outside the canon. And the lovely people at Faber and Faber have a case in point – rather than plough through serious dross from Eliot, why not stick to [[The Illustrated Old Possum by T S Eliot and Nicolas Bentley]]? And with Sylvia Plath I cannot think of a better place to start with her oeuvre than with these snappy and delightful pages.

|title=When Angus Met Alvin
|author=Sue Pickford
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Angus is not like other aliens. He is a peace-loving little fellow, who likes nothing better than sitting in his garden watching the flowers grow and sipping a nice cup of tea. Unfortunately, one day, a strange spaceship crash lands in his garden and out pops a cheeky, hyperactive green alien called Alvin who is rather a show-off. It’s time for Angus to teach Alvin a lesson about manners. Can the two aliens put their differences aside and become friends in the end?
