An icon and a phenomenon — both a muse and a canvas for many of the fashion industry's greatest creative visionaries — the remarkable Kate Moss has endured as a bellwether of fashion and pop culture. For years, her image in magazines, on billboards, and on the screen has influenced how women see themselves and their bodies, while setting societal standards for beauty. Her every step is still followed avidly in the tabloids, and her mercurial image can seemingly sell anything, from popular electronics to global luxury brands such as Calvin Klein, Longchamp, Dior, Chanel, and many others. In Kate Moss, author Christian Salmon explores how the twig became the Myth. Insightfully unravelling the mystery that is Moss — and the look and persona that has continually shifted and changed in perfect sync with the zeitgeist — Kate Moss is striking for its compelling read, beautifully enhanced with breathtaking images of the model throughout her career. |

No one could travel through time past, present, and future as much as the Doctor does without leaving an impression. Much of what we know about this mysterious figure comes from the planets he saves and the monsters he defeats. But we've had little knowledge of his writings until now. The Time Lord Letters is a collection of more than one hundred letters, notes, and jottings both by and to the Doctor correspondence by turns entertaining and inspiring, funny and flippant, brilliant and incredible. From the Doctor's plea to the Time Lords to help end the War Games to an extract from the written defense he submitted at his subsequent trial; from his application for the post of Caretaker at Coal Hill School to his apology to the Queen for missing dinner; from telepathic messages to the High Council on Gallifrey to his famous letter to Santa Claus The Time Lord Letters captures the best and most dramatic moments of an impossible life. You'll never see the Doctor in quite the same way again. |

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Time was, with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world like a magic ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home enjoyments, affections, and hopes; grouped everything and every one around the Christmas fire... This heart-warming collection of festive short stories and novellas perfectly captures the spirit of reflection and faith that Christmas brings. Centred on the journeys taken through life and the inherent goodness of mankind, these stories capture the true meaning behind Christmas and bask in the season of goodwill. Imbued with a direct moral message, Dickens's writing gives a voice to the plight of middle-class workers and families during a period of social and political change in Victorian England. With such tales as The Chimes, The Battle of Life and What Christmas is as We Grow Older, this is a beautiful collection for Dickens fans, and a wonderful companion for all those who cherish A Christmas Carol. |

Fifty years after Where the Wild Things Are was published comes the last book Maurice Sendak completed before his death in May 2012, My Brother's Book. With influences from Shakespeare and William Blake, Sendak pays homage to his late brother, Jack, whom he credited for his passion for writing and drawing. Pairing Sendak's poignant poetry with his exquisite and dramatic artwork, this book redefines what mature readers expect from Maurice Sendak while continuing the lasting legacy he created over his long, illustrious career. Sendak's tribute to his brother is an expression of both grief and love and will resonate with his lifelong fans who may have read his children's books and will be ecstatic to discover something for them now. Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic and Shakespearean scholar Stephen Greenblatt contributes a moving introduction. |
