But each of the glossy emporiums is fuelled by the dangerous world of the planthunters - daring adventurers in search of untold wonders to grace England's finest gardens.Harry Compton is as far from a planthunter as one could imagine - a salesman plucked from the nursery growing fields to become 'the face that sold a thousand plants'.But one small act of kindness sees him inherit a precious gift - a specimen of a fabled tree, and a map.Seizing his chance for fame and fortune, Harry sets out to make his mark. But where there is wealth there is corruption, and soon Harry is fleeing England, rounding the Cape of Good Hope and sailing up the Yangtze alongside a young widow - both in pursuit of the plant that could change their futures.

Treat her thus.'Florence, the 1560s. Lucrezia, third daughter of Cosimo de' Medici, is free to wander the palazzo at will, wondering at its treasures and observing its clandestine workings. But when her older sister dies on the eve of marriage to Alfonso d'Este, ruler of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father to accept on her behalf.Having barely left girlhood, Lucrezia must now make her way in a troubled court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her husband himself, Alfonso. Is he the playful sophisticate her appears before their wedding, the aesthete happiest in the company of artists and musicians, or the ruthless politician before whom even his formidable sisters seem to tremble As Lucrezia sits in uncomfortable finery for the painting which is to preserve her image for centuries to come, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court's eyes, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferrarese dynasty. Until then, for all of her rank and nobility, her future hangs entirely in the balance. 438 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Battle of Britain was fought and won by teenagers. The average age of a fighter pilot was just 20 years of age. Many of the men and women who designed and built their planes were even younger. Spitfire Kids is based on the hit BBC Worldwide podcast Spitfire: The People's Story, and uses contemporary diaries and memoirs, many of them previously unpublished, to tell the story of Britain's most iconic fighter aircraft through the voices of the young Britons who risked everything to design, build and fly her.This isn't a story of stiff-upper lips, stoical moustaches and aerial heroics; it's a story of love and loss, a story of young people tested to the very limits of their endurance. They were vital in keeping the Royal Air Force fully operational - building parts, constructing radar systems, coordinating supplies, ferrying planes - whilst the Luffwaffe above tried to bomb them into destruction.These were young people who won a battle that turned a war. Through fresh interviews and war diaries and personal correspondence, BBC radio producer Alasdair Cross recounts an incredible tale of courage and sacrifice that celebrates arguably Britain's greatest generation.
