Jack, the delightful, mischievous, big-hearted hero of so many Newfoundland folktales, is worried about his parents. They aren’t getting any younger; in fact, they’re really quite old. So, Jack and his brothers Bill and Tom decide to set out and find a magic fruit that will make the old young again. Told with the humor, warmth, and sly wit that have made Andy Jones one of Newfoundland’s finest and best-loved storytellers, The Queen of Paradise’s Garden follows Jack on his way to the land of the Queen of Paradise, three miles this side of the end of the world, where he finds the magic fruit and quite a few other hand things as well.

Jack Tales

The Queen of Paradise’s Garden

A thought-provoking, controversial and immediately gripping story with a tangled and messy moral dilemma at its heart. Two couples. One reckless night. In the time they've known each other, Sally, Al and Mike have shared - well, almost everything. Sally and Al have been married for seven years, though now their relationship is hanging by a thread. Sally and Mike have been best friends since university. And on many occasions something more. Mike and Al have been friends and colleagues for many years. Yet with Al poised to become Mike's boss, their friendship comes under threat. And now there's Mike and Faye. They haven't been together long, but Mike's pretty sure that, this time, it's the real deal. As the three old friends sit on a train heading towards Brighton to meet Faye, little do they know that after this weekend, the four of them will have shared . . . everything. They all know they have made a mistake. But they could never have imagined the consequences. ************** Praise for Andy Jones: ''What happens the morning after the night before, when the night before was when you did the most reckless thing of your life? I loved Andy Jones's stylish portrayal of four people who make way too much history in one night, and just couldn't put it down until I found out the fate of each of them' Jane Costello 'Beautifully written and wonderfully engaging. I loved it.' Daily Mail on The Two of Us 'I'm always wary about comparing books but, just this once, I'm going to make an exception because for me this is one of those few novels that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as One Day. It has everything you could want from a romcom and then some' - Sun on The Trouble With Henry and Zoe (P)2018 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Helen is a fine hand with a slingshot, and more than at home in the woods. After all, she was raised by bears for a time. When she stumbles on the castle of three evil giants, she comes up with the perfect plan to rid the land of them. Well, almost perfect…. The biggest and meanest giant catches her, and forces her to help him kidnap the Princess Antoinette. Always quick on her hairy bare feet, Helen manages to save the sleeping princess and finish off the giant, before heading quietly back to the woods. No one knows who the giant killer is, and Helen isn’t talking. Antoinette and her father, the king, are determined to find the hero, and come up with a plan of their own. Andy Jones’s hilarious new folktale adaptation/middle reader Barefoot Helen and the Giants is jam-packed with adventures and tales of adventure. It celebrates brave and resourceful girls, blended families, and storytelling itself.

Steeped in Newfoundland folk tradition, Jack, the King of Ashes shows Jones at the top of his form. His quirky and delightful humour is unstoppable.

Jack and Mary in the Land of Thieves finds Jack, that everyman of folktales, married to his sweetheart Mary, the best woman ever born and a mighty fine baker to boot. Their lives are as happy and successful as can be, until an underhanded sea captain and Jack’s own bragging get the better of our hero. Jack is sent the once to work on Slave Islands and Mary is turned out of house and home. But Mary is resolute and resourceful, and has plans to find Jack and restore their fortunes. 		Inspired by several traditional and classic works, including Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, the medieval tale of Frederick of Jennen, and the Newfoundland story “Jack and the Slave Islands,” Andy Jones has crafted a funny, moving, and delightfully original story about love, treachery, perseverance, and cherry cake. 		With a hidden key, a storm at sea, and a singing mynah bird named Baxter who carries more than his share of tunes, Jack and Mary in the Land of Thieves will delight youngsters and oldsters alike.

Zwei für immer

Henry och Zoe har mer gemensamt än vad de tror. Till exempel vill de båda till varje pris lägga det förflutna bakom sig. Henry har precis övergett sin ungdomsförälskelse på bröllopsdagen och åker till London där han hoppas kunna bygga upp sitt liv på nytt. Zoe har sina egna skäl att se över sitt liv, och hon tänker göra det genom att lämna London och resa över hela världen medan hon funderar på vad hon egentligen vill ha ut av livet. Hon vet inte vart hon är på väg, men hon är övertygad om att hon ska dit ensam. Om Henry och Zoe hade träffats för ett år sedan hade kanske allt sett annorlunda ut. Men det är inte så livet funkar och därför är den här boken inte heller en vanlig kärleksroman. ANDY JONES är en brittisk författare, bosatt i London med fru och två barn. Hans hyllade feelgood-roman Vi två kom ut på svenska 2016. Henry och Zoe är hans tredje roman.

Problemet med Henry och Zoe

Fisher och Ivy har bara varit ett par i nitton dagar. Båda har haft förhållanden tidigare, men de vet båda två att det är annorlunda den här gången: De är ämnade för varandra. Att de egentligen vet väldigt lite om varandra känns mindre viktigt. Men under det kommande året, en period då deras liv förändras oåterkalleligt, upptäcker Fisher och Ivy att det är en sak att bli förälskad och en helt annan att fortsätta vara förälskad. Vi två är en charmig, ärlig, humoristisk roman om livet och kärleken och om vikten av att inte ta något av det för givet. ANDY JONES är en brittisk författare, bosatt i London med hustru och två barn. Vi två är en underbar, okonventionell kärlekshistoria om ett par som ger sig in i en passionerad tvåveckors-affär som ska förändra deras liv för alltid. Alla som älskade David Nicholls En dag kommer att falla handlöst för Vi två.
