A Bear Called Paddington

Michael Bond
Illustrated by Peggy Fortnum
Introduced by Michael Morpurgo


A small bear from Peru arrives at Paddington Station with a suitcase full of marmalade and a heart full of hope. Adopted by the Browns, he turns everyday life into endearing chaos, proving that kindness – and a good supply of sandwiches – can go a long way.

1Q84

Haruki Murakami
Illustrated by Daniel Liévano


Tokyo, 1984 – but not quite. Two moons hang in the sky as Aomame and Tengo navigate parallel lives entangled with a shadowy cult. Murakami weaves a hypnotic, surreal love story where reality blurs, hearts ache and mystery seeps into every breath.

H is for Hawk

Helen MacDonald
Illustrated by Chris Wormell


Reeling from her father’s sudden death, Helen Macdonald trains a fierce goshawk named Mabel. Guided by T.H. White’s memoir, she confronts grief, wildness and herself in a raw, lyrical journey of taming, mourning and rediscovering what it means to live.

A Canticle for Leibowitz

Walter M. Miller Jr.
Illustrated by Elliot Lang
Introduced by Michael Dirda


In a desert monastery after nuclear ruin, monks guard ancient blueprints as holy relics. Across millennia, humanity rebuilds – and repeats –its triumphs and follies. Miller’s classic blends wit, philosophy and prophecy into a haunting meditation on knowledge, faith and history.

Endless Night

Agatha Christie
Illustrated by Hokyoung Kim


Michael Rogers thinks he’s found paradise – a dream home, true love and a bright future. But beneath the idyll lurks obsession and danger. In this dark, gothic tale, Christie trades puzzles for creeping dread, where perfection hides the seeds of ruin.

Klara and the Sun

Kazuo Ishiguro
Illustrated by Isabel Seliger


From a shop window, Klara, an Artificial Friend, longs to be chosen. When she is, her journey becomes a luminous meditation on love, hope and belonging. Through her innocent gaze, Ishiguro asks profound questions about humanity, faith and the heart.

Pax

Tom Holland
Illustrated by Kent Barton


Tom Holland’s Pax captures Rome at its zenith, from Hadrian to Marcus Aurelius. Blending order and brutality, he reveals how peace rested on conquest, bringing emperors, soldiers and citizens vividly to life in a gripping portrait of empire, ideology and legacy.

Octopussy and the Living Daylights

Ian Fleming
Illustrated by Fay Dalton


In these taut spy tales, Ian Fleming’s James Bond confronts danger in its many guises, from hunting a treacherous war criminal to a high-stakes sniper mission. Sharp, suspenseful and deadly stylish, they reveal Bond at his most resourceful – and most human.

The Lottery and Other Dark Tales

Shirley Jackson
Illustrated by Angie Hoffmeister
Introduced by Ruth Franklin


In these tales, Shirley Jackson transforms ordinary moments into chilling revelations. From ritualistic horror to quiet cruelties, she exposes the shadows beneath everyday life, crafting unsettling, razor-sharp studies of human nature that linger long after the final page.
