Bronze age action adventure. It's a time like none that has been before. A time of powerful men, and dangerous women. A new age is dawning. One that will see change and death on a vast scale, while religion and superstition continue to bind the hands of those that would otherwise build a better world.The villages of the marshes unite for their mutual defence, following the raids of the summer, but as winter approaches, they once more find themselves under threat. Now a chiefdom, though be if a small one, they soon attract the attention of the vast neighbouring tribe. The idea that they could pose a threat is beyond imagination, but with power come greed. Could Aeldra of the Alluni have wider plans for their waterlogged land? As Elric faces a new and brutal rival, matters of Gods and spirits continue to steer his path, with every turn of misfortune his people being drawn further towards an unthinkable solution.Once more their one slim hope lies in the spear wielding hands of Vintnor, the gifted slave already wronged by Elric, but as he builds his own following, why would he risk everything for the man who would see him enslaved?

From one of Australia's most iconic singer-songwirters, John Williamson, comes this hilarious family song, with a special new verse, brought to life by award-winning illustrator Peter Carnavas. What are we going to do? You dad, does he snore too? My dad snores so much that no one else can sleep . . . until we find a really clever solution!

This iconic Australian song tells the very funny tale of the emu and its many traits - good and bad: He can't fly, but I'm telling you, he can run the pants off a kangaroo! The story compares the emu to lots of other Australian birds (galah, cockatoo, wedge-tail eagle, kookaburra) and of course to the kangaroo, providing wonderful opportunities for hilarious illustrations. It's the song that launched John Williamson's career way back in 1970. John performed the song on the TV talent quest of the day, 'New Faces' and won first place, which led him to his first recording contract with Fable Records. It still remains one of John Williamson's most popular songs.
