A Passage To Antarctica won the second prize in the non-fiction category of the Competition for Writers of Children's Books held in 1985 by CBT. On one side of the horizon was the deep blue sea, on the other was complete creamy whiteness. The ship lay amidst sheets of ice, a metre thick... Penguins stood on the edge of the icy whiteness, occasionally looking in the direction of the explorers. Antarctica, one of earth's 'last frontiers', the highest, windiest, vast, is a continent awaiting, with riches yet to be tapped.

Passage to Dawn by R. A. Salvatore
Drizzt and Catti-brie have been away from Mithral Hall for six long years, but the pain of a lost companion still weighs heavily on their strong shoulders. Chasing pirates aboard Captain Deudermont's Sea Sprite is enough to draw their attention away from their grief. Then a mysterious castaway on an uncharted island sends them back to the very source of their pain, and into the clutches of a demon with vengeance on his mind.

The Way We Live Now is the essence of Trollope. If he had written no other novel, it would have ensured his immortality. He paints a picture as panoramic as his title promises, of the life of 1870s London, the loves of those drawn to and through the city, and the career of Augustus Melmotte, who is one of the Victorian novel's greatest and strangest creations, and is an achievement undimmed by the passage of time. Trollope's 'Now' might, in the 21st century, look like some distant disenchanted 'Then', but this is still the yesterday which we must understand in order to make proper sense of our today.
