In the story, the four siblings are evacuated from war-torn London and sent to live in a countryside mansion owned by a professor. While playing hide-and-seek, Lucy stumbles upon a wardrobe that serves as a gateway to the magical land of Narnia. She is the first to meet a faun named Mr. Tumnus, who informs her about Narnia's current state.

Narnia is under the rule of the White Witch, who has plunged the land into a perpetual winter and has the power to turn creatures into stone. However, there is hope in the form of Aslan, a powerful and benevolent lion, who is prophesied to return and restore Narnia.

The siblings soon discover Narnia for themselves and join forces with various talking animals, including Mr. and Mrs. Beaver. They learn about the prophecy of the four human children who will aid Aslan in defeating the White Witch.

Edmund, one of the siblings, is initially tempted by the White Witch but eventually realizes her deceit. Aslan, the true ruler of Narnia, sacrifices himself to save Edmund, a powerful and emotional moment in the story. However, Aslan's sacrifice is not in vain, as he returns and leads the final battle against the White Witch.

The story culminates in a grand battle, where good prevails over evil, and Narnia is finally freed from the curse of perpetual winter. The children are crowned as kings and queens of Narnia and rule alongside Aslan.

"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a timeless tale of heroism, sacrifice, and the triumph of good over evil. It is the first book in the beloved "Chronicles of Narnia" series by C.S. Lewis, and it has enchanted readers of all ages for generations.

This Christmas-themed book takes on the shape of a Christmas tree and beautifully acknowledges holiday traditions from various corners of the world.

The story begins with rhyming verses, narrated from the perspective of a humble pine tree. This pine tree longs for its own holiday decorations and counts down the days until Christmas. As the days pass, forest animals embark on journeys, returning with ornaments and symbols of diverse holiday celebrations from around the globe. A group of children from different racial backgrounds then adorns the tree with these ornaments.

Each page introduces a different cultural custom, accompanied by a brief explanation in a paragraph. Simultaneously, the story maintains a rhythmic pace with four simple rhyming lines. For example, one page features the tree bedecked with silver and gold spiderwebs, as it tells the Ukrainian legend of the Christmas spider. On another page, readers learn about the Mexican celebration of Las Posadas.

However, the unique shape of the book, mimicking a Christmas tree, combines elements that might have functioned well individually but, when brought together, can feel somewhat cumbersome. The book effectively conveys two parallel narratives: one about the pine tree's decorations and another about cultural celebrations worldwide. This arrangement might create a somewhat disjointed reading experience, especially for different age groups. The book's large and somewhat unwieldy shape, while eye-catching, may come across as more of a gimmick than a purposeful design.

Ingredients:

1 medium onion , roughly chopped
2tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1kg sausagemeat , or meat squeezed from 16 large sausages
1 egg yolk
25g pack flat-leaf parsley , leaves chopped
8 slices melting cheese (we used havarti)
To serve
8 grilled rashers streaky smoked bacon
8 ciabatta buns, halved
tomato relish

Method:

Put the onion, ketchup and oyster sauce in a food processor, then blend to a coarse paste, scraping down the sides of the processor if you need to. Put the sausagemeat into a mixing bowl, beat in the onion mix, egg yolk and 25ml water (and I mean really beat; if you have a tabletop mixer, do it in that), then add the parsley. Separate the mix into 8, roll into large balls, then flatten into patties. Chill on a plate for 1 hr.

To cook the burgers, heat a griddle or large frying pan without adding any extra fat. Fry for 3 mins on one side until golden, turn down the heat for 5 mins, then flip and repeat on the other side.

While the burgers cook, fry the bacon and, if you are game, some eggs as well. Heat the grill, then lightly toast the insides of the ciabatta buns.

Place the cooked burgers on a baking sheet, put a slice of cheese on each, then pop under the grill to melt. Sit the burgers on their buns, then place the bacon on top. If you feel like them, slide fried eggs on top of the bacon. Serve with a napkin.
