PENGUIN GLOBAL • FICTION/ART 14 Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland With Artwork by Yayoi Kusama Since childhood, Kusama has been afflicted with a condition that makes her see spots, which means she sees the world in a surreal, almost hallucinogenic way that sits very well with the Wonderland of Alice. She is fascinated by childhood and the way adults have the ability, at their most creative, to see things the way children do, a central concern of the Alice books. The classic book will be colour illustrated with a clothbound jacket, and produced to very high specification. Kusama’s images are interspersed throughout the text. 978-0-14-119730-2 • $35.00 • 254 pp • 6 x 9 • Fiction/Art • Hardcover Penguin UK • Available April 24, 2012
Britain After Rome The Fall and Rise, 400 to 1070 Robin Fleming The enormous hoard of beautiful gold military objects found in a field in Staffordshire has focused huge attention on the mysterious world of 7th and 8th century Britain. Clearly the product of a sophisticated, wealthy, highly militarized society, the objects beg innumerable questions about how we are to understand the people who once walked across the same landscape we inhabit, who are our ancestors and yet left such a slight record of their presence. Britain After Rome brings together a wealth of research and imaginative engagement to bring us as close as we can hope to get to the tumultuous centuries between the departure of the Roman legions and the arrival of Norman invaders nearly seven centuries later. 978-0-14-014823-7 • $18.00 • 480 pp • 5 x 7 3/4 • History • Paperback Penguin UK • Available Now You’re Not A Country, Africa A Personal History of the African Present Pius Adesanmi In this ground-breaking collection of essays, Pius Adesanmi tries to unravel what Africa means to him as an African and to all those who inhabit this continent of extremes. This question has exercised some of the finest African minds of the twentieth century, but pan- Africanism, Negritude, nationalism, decolonization, and all the other projects through which Africans have sought to restore their humanity have failed to solve it. Criss-crossing the continent, Adesanmi attempts to make meaning of this question for the twenty-first century. 978-0-14-352754-1 • $18.95 • 256 pp • 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 • History/Current Events • Paperback Penguin South Africa • Available Now Masters of the Post The Authorized History of the Royal Mail Duncan Campbell-Smith This is the whole story of Britain’s postal service—how it was built, how it led the world for two hundred years, and how it has struggled to survive in the face of mounting odds since the arrival of the internet. It brings a fresh slant to many of the most famous episodes in postal history—from the origins of the royal monopoly to the Great Train Robbery—whilst also recounting several hitherto strangely neglected stories—how, for example, letters and parcels reached the Western Front in 1914-18; how the Post Office survived the Troubles in Northern Ireland (and the Easter Rising in Dublin); and how the boffins of the postal world invented machines that could sort hand-written envelopes at fantastic speeds, though it took them thirty years to build them. 978-1-8461-4324-3 • $45.00 • 768 pp • 6 x 9 • History/Current Events • Hardcover Penguin UK • Available Now PENGUIN GLOBAL • HISTORY • CURRENT EVENTS 15
