Lonely Planet guidebooks have been the only book companions during my world travels since 2000 because of their no-nonsense approach and real practical advice. I have always felt that they were the only travel guides I could trust as they shared my interest for genuine and non touristic locations when visiting new countries. The latest guide to be published is a spectacular book, the Lonely…
From Warner Bros. Pictures comes PAN, a live-action Peter Pan feature which is the very first imaginative prequel to Peter Pan’s stories.

In this feature London Mums offer help and tools that will…
BILL is the hilarious tale of William Shakespeare as you’ve never seen him before. It’s not a film just for children – you would have thought so as it is performed by the cast of BBC TV’s Horrible Histories – but also for adults who can enjoy the jokes on a different level.
