This is the story of Alex James’s transition from a leading light of the Britpop movement in the 1990s, to gentleman farmer, artisan cheese-maker and father of five. All Cheeses Great and Small is the follow-up memoir to Alex James's first book, Bit of a Blur, the story of his excessive pop star lifestyle during the nineties. But now Alex has grown up, fallen in love and got married. He has also fallen passionately for his new home, an enormous rambling farmhouse in the Cotswolds, set in two hundred acres of beautiful British countryside. The farm represents not just a new house for Alex, but also a new career. As he breathes new life into the old farm he chances across an unexpected calling: making cheese. His cheeses, Blue Monday, Farleigh Wallop and Little Wallop have received widespread media interest and are now sold through many outlets.

Mord im Pfarrhaus
Jede Kleinstadt hat ihre Geheimnisse. Das englische "Little Wallop" ist dabei keine Ausnahme. In einem gemütlichen, kleinen Haus mitten in der schönsten ländlichen Idylle lebt die Familie Goodfellow. Vor den Nachbarn und der Gemeinde versucht die Familie den schönen Schein aufrecht zu erhalten, doch langsam bröckelt der Putz von der perfekten Fassade. Dabei hat Familienoberhaupt Walter Goodfellow (ROWAN ATKINSON) nur die besten Absichten. Weil der gutmütige Pfarrer aber wie besessen an der perfekten Predigt arbeitet, ist er blind gegenüber den Problemen in seiner Familie. Weder bekommt er mit, dass seine gelangweilte Frau Gloria (KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS) mit ihrem unverschämt gut aussehenden Golflehrer Lance (PATRICK SWAYZE) nach Mexiko durchbrennen will, noch ist ihm bewusst, dass seine frühreife Tochter Holly (TAMSIN EGERTON) ganz ungeniert ihre Freunde wie Socken wechselt und der schüchterne Sohn Petey (TOBY PARKES) die tägliche Zielscheibe auf dem Schulhof ist. Mitten in dieses Chaos platzt die charmante und liebenswerte Haushälterin Grace (MAGGIE SMITH), die allerdings eine etwas eigene Einstellung zum Thema "Haushaltsführung" hat. Die grauhaarige alte Dame scheint die Antwort auf alle Probleme zu sein, denn fast wie von selbst lösen sich die Störenfriede in Luft auf: der ständig kläffende Nachbarhund, die neugierigen Nachbarn, die Rüpel ins Peteys Schule. Doch bald wird sich zeigen, was hinter der scheinbar sanften Schale der neuen Haushälterin wirklich steckt und "Little Wallop" wird ein neues, delikates Geheimnis zu hüten haben...Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson) ist der gutmütige Vikar der kleinen englischen Dorfgemeinde Little Wallop. Dummerweise ist er so sehr damit beschäftigt, die ideale Predigt für seine Gemeinde zu verfassen, dass ihm die heißen Flirts zwischen seiner Frau Gloria (Kristin Scott Thomas) und deren gut aussehendem Golflehrer Lance (Patrick Swayze) entgehen. Auch Tochter Holly (Tamsin Egerton) nutzt die Ahnungslosigkeit ihres Vaters und bringt einen Lover nach dem anderen nach Hause. Erst als Grace (Maggie Smith), die neue Haushälterin, auftaucht, ändert sich so einiges.Denn für Haushalt und Familienangelegenheiten scheint die ehemalige Serienmörderin so ihre ganz eigenen Methoden zu haben.- Shop: buecher

Notes from a Small Island, Hörbuch, Digital, 339min
After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson took the decision to move back to the States for a while but before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite, a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy, place names like Farleigh Wallop and Shellow Bowells, people who said 'Mustn't grumble', and Gardeners' Question Time.

Cavalleria Rusticana, Hörbuch, Digital, 76min
Cavalleria Rusticana is the short opera that has all the elements of a grand opera compressed into a single highly dramatic time span. The story of love, lust, blood-feud, and betrayal played out against the pageantry of the Easter celebrations in a Sicilian village delivers an emotional wallop because of the youthful vigor and musical wealth of its great score which includes the glorious "Easter Hymn" and the deeply moving "Intermezzo". Mascagni was never to repeat his youthful success but this brief work is enough to ensure his immortality. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: David Timson.

A Shocking Tail , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 769min
The fact: An electric eel can generate 600 volts, more than twice the output of the mains, using muscles modified to produce electricity over movement. The story: When Somerset vet Felicity Giblet rescues two huge white kittens from an abandoned caravan in Wallop Woods, little does she know that they are a newly discovered breed of Arctic wildcat, equipped with the most shocking means of killing prey. Utterly besotted, she rears them as normal moggies, and a catalogue of disasters ensues. Wildlife is decimated, computers and electrical gismos go haywire, and the local cattery burns to a cinder, yet she finds a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything. Until, that is, her darling Mister Fluffy Pants is kidnapped and whisked away to deepest, darkest Siberia. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lily Curzon.

Notes from a Small Island, Hörbuch, Digital, 339min
Bill Bryson is an unabashed Anglophile who, through a mistake of history, happened to be born and bred in Iowa. Righting that error, he spent 20 years in England before deciding to repatriate. This was partly to let his wife and children experience life in Bryson's homeland - and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him. But before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain. His aim was to take stock of modern-day Britain, and to analyze what he loved so much about a country that produced Marmite, zebra crossings, and place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey, and Shellow Bowells.

Hurricane Wills , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 234min
There's a hurricane smashing, trashing, bashing through our house. CRASH! BANG! WALLOP! The doors are slamming, chairs are falling, cushions are flying, feet running, voices shouting, STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! The hurricane is Wills. Chris's 13 year old brother. He has A.D.D. - Attention Deficit Disorder. Chris says it stands for Acts Dumb and Daft. It's not easy being 11 and having a brother who causes so much chaos around the house. Sometimes Wills acts like he's six years younger, sometimes like he's two. He throws food on the floor, has tantrums and teases Chris. When Chris and Wills' dad moves out they all feel abandoned. Chris feels he has to be even more supportive towards his mum when sometimes all he wants to do is shout and scream too. And there's more: Wills is up to something - hanging out with a bad crowd, shoplifting. Then Chris finds out Wills has a wad of money under his mattress. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Dragon Conspiracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min
After solving the Grendel Affair, the agents have another SPI file to investigate.... We're Supernatural Protection & Investigations, known as SPI. We battle the real monsters of myth and legend, but this Halloween we're searching for diamonds.... A gala opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has attracted the upper crust of Manhattan - and thieves. A trio of vile harpies attacks the crowd and steals the stars of the exhibition: a colorful cluster of seven cursed diamonds known as the Dragon Eggs. In the right mage's hands, each stone can pack a magical wallop. Together they have the power to "cure" the supernaturals of the tristate area - but for many of those vampires and werewolves, that means turning into dust. I'm Makenna Fraser, a seer for SPI. With the help of my partner, Ian, and the other agents, I have 24 hours to prevent total global panic, find the diamonds, and save the supernatural community. No biggie.... ungekürzt.
