The Colour of My Dreams by Peter Dixon 

This is a stunning collection of poetry by Peter Dixon, filled with gems that will make you look at life from a different angle.

This collection has recently been the inspiration for an album of songs by Razorlight's Andy Burrows, with proceeds going to Naomi House Children's Hospice.

The Composer is Dead by Lemony Snicket

In this perplexing murder mystery, everyone seems to have a motive, everyone has an alibi, and nearly everyone is a musical instrument. But the composer is still dead.

Perhaps you can solve the crime yourself. Join the Inspector as he interrogates all the unusual suspects. Then listen to the accompanying audio recording featuring Lemony Snicket and music of Nathaniel Stookey performed by the San Francisco Symphony. Hear for yourself exactly what took place on that fateful, well-orchestrated evening.
