Magic Kingdom for Sale, price $1,000,000. Ben Holiday assumed that the advert wasn't entirely accurate, but he had the money and a life he no longer wanted.

No one trusts anyone else, the treasury is empty, a dragon is terrorising the countryside and a rather evil witch is intent on destroying what little of the kingdom is left. Just as Ben is beginning to get a grip on the situation it looks as if his reign will be rather short lived when a demon challenges him to a duel. But Ben is determined to rule Landover and rule it well, all he needs is a little help.

The Berlin Wall

Author: Frederick Taylor
Paperback: 668 pages
ISBN: 9780747585541


On the night of the 12-13 August 1961 a wall was built. This was no ordinary wall. It was a wall that systematically divided a city in half. The Berlin Wall was erected to keep the population of Eastern Germany from leaving and it would be almost thirty years before they could again move freely within their own city. This fascinating book documents the history of Germany that led to the building of the wall, the personal stories of those who tried to go over, under or around it whilst trying to escape to the west and the political turmoil that finally led to its destruction in November 1989.
