The Beloved #1 International Bestseller Tenth Anniversary Edition “We’re just going to look.” Helen Brown had no intention of adopting a pet when she brought her young sons to visit a friend’s new kittens. But the runt of the litter was irresistible, with her overlarge ears and dainty chin. When Cleo was delivered weeks later, she had no way of knowing that her new family had just been hit by an unthinkable tragedy. Helen was sure she couldn’t keep her—until she saw something she thought had vanished from earth forever: her son’s smile. The reckless, rambunctious kitten stayed. Through happiness and heartbreak, changes and new beginnings, Cleo was the glue that affectionately held Helen’s family together. Rich in wisdom, wit, heart, and healing, here is the story of a cat with an extraordinary gift for knowing just where she was needed most. With a New Afterword by the Author “A remarkable memoir . . . Helen Brown opened my heart.” —Beth Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author “An absolute must.” —Cat World

Let's Knit Caps is a book of recipes for advanced knitters who are looking for new stitches, textures, and ideas to spice up their repertoire and unleash their creativity. The author, Sunita Giri, started knitting as a child in Kathmandu and she hasn't put her needles down since then. She is a dedicated and talented knitter and designer, the kind of knitter that is never without her knitting bag. She founded Winter Project several years ago, making caps, neck warmers, and blankets herself and engaging volunteers to join her efforts to reach as many children as possible, and raising funds to carry out the project. She wrote Let’s Knit Caps in response to many requests, from knitters worldwide who are members of the Winter Project group or read about us on Facebook, asking “how do you make” this cap, neck warmer, or blankets. Her book offers a framework for thinking about designing, and about the way we view and use this ancient and useful art form. Let's Knit Caps offers some step-by-step outlines for making a variety of caps and many ideas for combining textures, stitch patterns, and color blends. While the book is not designed for beginners, knitters of all levels will enjoy encountering her enthusiasm for the craft of knitting and the ways we can use it to enrich our lives and the lives of others.

Painted vases are the richest and most complex images that remain from ancient Greece. Over the past decades, a great deal has been written on ancient art that portrays myths and rituals. Less has been written on scenes of daily life, and what has been written has been tucked away in hard-to-find books and journals. A Guide to Scenes of Daily Life on Athenian Vases synthesizes this material and expands it: it is the first comprehensive volume to present visual representations of everything from pets and children's games to drunken revelry and funerary rituals. John H. Oakley's clear, accessible writing provides sound information with just the right amount of detail. Specialists of Greek art will welcome this book for its text and illustrations. This guide is an essential and much-needed reference for scholars and an ideal sourcebook for classics and art history.
