    Voted the greatest English cricketer of the 20th century by the fans, Sir Ian Botham is the English game’s one true living legend, and his story, both on and off the pitch, reads like a Boy’s Own rollercoaster ride. Born with a natural genius for the game, Botham began breaking records with bat and ball from a young age and soon became the man English cricket expected most from. After a troubled period as captain, Botham rose once again to become a national hero with his display in the Miracle Ashes of 1981. But, with his confrontational nature and wild streak, he began regularly making the wrong kind of headlines. With accusations of drink and drugs, affairs and ball-tampering, he became hounded by the tabloid pack, never sure whether they wanted him to triumph or implode. Now a Knight and just as famous for his tireless charity work, Beefy gives us the definitive story of his never-dull life and times in his own no-nonsense words. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    “A curiously poignant baseball tale of adversity and intolerance, compassion and hope, that elevates autism fiction to fantastic heights.” - Darryl StrawberryIt’s 1949 and 18-year-old pitching phenom Mickey Tussler is back with the rejuvenated minor league Brewers in the sequel to The Legend of Mickey Tussler (the basis for the television movie A Mile in His Shoes). Despite Mickey’s proclamation that he will never play baseball again after last season’s violent conclusion, his manager - and now surrogate father - Arthur Murphy cajoles the emotionally fragile, socially awkward boy with autism into giving it another shot. Mickey reluctantly returns to the field and must once again cope with the violence and hatred around him. When a young African American player joins the team, the entire team is subjected to racial threats and episodes of violence, one of which Mickey witnesses firsthand. Struggling to understand such ugliness and hatred, and fearful of reprisal should he tell anyone about what he has seen, the boy’s performance on the field suffers. Mickey now must deal with a side of human nature he scarcely comprehends. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Arthur.

    The poor boy’s eyes were red and swollen. He looked so sad, so lost, so broken - and not in a good way. "It’s okay, Robert. I know." Mistress Scarlet wiped the tears from his cheeks. "You don’t need to hide. You don’t need to be afraid, not any longer." It was hard to say who was surprised more when she leaned in and kissed him, but it was precisely what the moment demanded. Before he could say anything, she stepped forward and pressed one naked finger over his mouth. The coral polish of her nails was an almost perfect match to his lips. She chose to take that as a sign. "You will never leave. You will cease to exist within this room. You may not believe it now, but this is where Robert dies, never again to be reborn." Sissy Rachel Earns Her Collar is a story of a transsexual dominatrix who finds herself breaking all the rules to reveal the desperate sissy within a reluctant boy. ungekürzt. Language: English.
