Three days later the Gestapo arrived seized Anne Frank and her family from their Amsterdam attic and started them on a journey to Auschwitz, and then to Belsen. Ernst Schnabel interviewed 42 of the people mentioned by Anne in her diary. He began with her father and many other close relatives and friends. They describe her character in an open and honest way and the importance of this book is not only its fascinating insight into who Anne Frank really was, but also its closeness to the events and people involved. Here too, is the full dramatic story of her family's betrayal and its disastrous aftermath in the concentration camps. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of David Ogilvy's birth we are publishing a brand new edition of Confessions of an Advertising Man, David Ogilvy's seminal work, with a striking new cover and format.

Joy Batchelor was also a teacher and an internationally recognised authority on the global animation scene. In our early days at Aardman we could only dream of aspiring to their stature. In their heyday, the studio was renowned for innovation and creative ambition, always experimenting with technique, form and style. At the heart of the company, Joy Batchelor's writing, direction and design, especially on Animal Farm, has earned her status as one of the true pioneers of British animation'.
