Sandi Toksvig Books Overview
Unusual Day
Jessica brings her granny to school because she can spin plates. Told to send her home as family day is next week, Jessica’s granny leaves only to surprise everyone by returning later as a firefighter and rescuing the old lady next door.
Whistling for the Elephants
There are two basic types of animal in Nature’s Kingdom. The first, like lions and turtles, produce many offspring and simply hope that some will survive. The second, like elephants and people, produce one or two at long intervals and make great efforts to rear them. My mother belonged in a class of her own. She produced two at short intervals and made no effort to rear them whatsoever. Thus Dorothy, aged ten, finds herself making her own way in Sassaspaneck, New York in 1968. Her English father, who never talks above a whisper due to a youthful injury with a cricket ball, has tucked her and her mother away where the potential for embarrassment can be limited. All the other children in town have gone to camp, so Dorothy must provide her own entertainment. She comes across a small, faded zoo on the outskirts of town, and as she begins to get to know the eccentric group of women who live there she begins to discover a world way beyond the one she has glimpsed so far.
The Travels of Lady Bulldog Burton
This volume of Lady Bulldog’s diaries was discovered by accident in the British Library by editor Sandi Toksvig. The partially restored account of the Grand Tour undertaken by this intrepid Victorian traveler and her maid Jinks in 1880 includes a selection of Jinks original sketches. Of particular interest are the episodes involving Lady Burton s initiation into the murky world of French opium dens, her entirely accidental participation in the running of the bulls in Pamplona, and a rather tiresome week on a Greek shipping vessel where, it is believed, designs for her groundbreaking double gusset underpant first began to take shape.
Hitler’s Canary
‘My brother stood up so quickly he almost knocked Mama over. ‘Why aren’t you doing something? Do you know what the British are calling us? Hitler’s Canary! I’ve heard it on the radio, on the BBC. They say he has us in a cage and we just sit and sing any tune he wants.” Bamse’s family are theater people. They don’t get involved in politics. ‘it had nothing to do with us,’ Bamse tells us. Yet now he must decide: should he take his father’s advice and not stir up trouble? Or should he follow his brother into the Resistance and take part in the most demanding role of his life?
Melted Into Air
Frances Angel, drunk and disgruntled, arrives in Italy to attend the I Zingari Art School, leaving behind her dazzling career as a successful theatrical impresario and returning to a distant and painful past. She falls into an eclectic group composed of performance artists, ex soldiers, and a housewife who really just wants to paint something to match her settee. In the village a scale replica of the La Scala opera house becomes the setting for the great drama of Frances’s past to be played out on the world s smallest stage. Frances expected to find some answers, but what she didn t expect was romance and quite so much farce.

helps children understand how the human body functions by asking them to imagine what would happen if individual body parts were missing and allows children to learn through discovery and imagination. Full color.
The Gladys Society
