Το μικρό ξύλινο ρομπότ και η πριγκίπισσα που κοιμόταν... ξερή (σκληρόδετη έκδοση)
«Με αγάπη και νερό, βγαίνει δέντρο λυγερό. Μα αν η πριγκίπισσα χαθεί, μες στο τζάκι θα βρεθεί!» Ήταν κάποτε ένας βασιλιάς και μια βασίλισσα που ήθελαν όσο τίποτε άλλο να αποκτήσουν ένα παιδάκι. Μέχρι που από θαύμα ήρθαν στην αγκαλιά τους ένα ξύλινο ρομπότ και μια μαγεμένη πριγκίπισσα φτιαγμένη κι αυτή από ξύλο.

In Baking with Kafka, Tom Gauld asks the questions no one else dares ask about civilisation as we know it. - How do you get published during a skeleton apocalypse? - What was the secret of Kafka's lemon drizzle cake? - And what plot possibilities does the exploding e-cigarette offer modern mystery writers? A riotous collection of laugh-out-loud cartoons in his signature style, Baking with Kafka reaffirms Gauld's position as a first-rate cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of both literary and cartoon history.

(H/B) GOLIATH
Goliath of Gath isn't much of a fighter. Given half a choice, he'd pick admin work over patrolling in a heartbeat, to say nothing of his distaste for engaging in combat. Nonetheless, at the behest of the king, he finds himself issuing a twice-daily challenge to the Israelites: "Choose a man. Let him come to me that we may fight. If he be able to kill me, then we shall be your servants. But if I kill him, then you shall be our servants." From one of Britain's most popular cartoonists, Goliath displays a sensitive wit, a bold line, and a tr...
