      The Mountain of Smoke is a collection of 51 paintings completed in acrylic, ink and pencil by Jeffrey Alan Love. These works are reproduced directly from Jeff's sketchbook, which took him seven months to complete. Jeff is now sharing these personal works for the first time. The viewer follows along as the artist loses himself in his practice of letting his mind wander to see what it unveils. The result is a fantasy collection where you create the story. The collection has been professionally photographed to showcase Jeff's textures and paint strokes to give viewers the intimate feeling that they are holding the actual sketchbook. Over half of the paintings are accompanied by the artist's captions and initial pencil sketches. Details of 19 paintings are showcased.

      'Burning ice, biting flame; that is how life began' The extraordinary Scandinavian myth cycle is one of the most enduring, exciting, dramatic and compelling of the world's great stories. The Penguin Book of the Norse Myths compellingly retells these stories for the modern reader, taking us from the creation of the world through the building of Asgard's Wall to the final end in Ragnarok. You'll discover how Thor got his hammer and how Odin lost his eye, the terrible price of binding the wolf Fenrir and why Loki the trickster can never be trusted. The Norse myths are as thrilling to read as they are of vast cultural and historical importance. In this gripping book Kevin Crossley-Holland brings alive the passion, cruelty and heroism of these unforgettable stories.
