When Raven fills the world with creatures, a song of joy bursts from his throat and brings everything to life. But as time passes, his song is droned by shouting as people greedily capture and kill the living things around them - and with an angy shriek he hides the shining sun away, leaving the people below to freeze in darkness. How his son, Little Darkness, brings light and the Raven's song back to the world is beautifully told and illustrated in an original story woven from Native Alaskan folklore

As with the tutu itself, the book approaches the task in three parts - the tutu plate, the bodice and the decorative sections. It shares the secrets of a leading costume-maker as it explains the challenging task of, on the one hand, creating a light and beautiful ballet outfit suitable for performance and, on the other, making a comfortable and hardwearing costume that suits a character. In doing so, it reveals the extraordinary talent and techniques required by the costume-maker.

An illustrated collection of 20 short prayers -- traditional and new -- from the distinctive Celtic Christian tradition. The prayers all speak of God's care and protection in the everyday things of life. They ask simply and earnestly for God's blessing: that God would guard us, guide us and do good things for us through all our days. Their combination of determined faith and a deep respect for the natural world has a strong appeal today. Among the 20 prayers are classics attributed to St Patrick, St Columba of Iona, prayers from the great Carmina Gadelica collection, and prayers newly written by Lois Rock in the Celtic style. Also in this series: Simple Prayers, 0 7459 4550 3, GBP3.50
