It was fun putting together those last two bundles, so here are a few more. Don’t forget, all books are available individually at the marked price too.

3) Embark on a crime series

A portrait of Switzerland you will never see in a travel brochure, the debut of Inspector Montalbano and Finnish high jinx from a brand new series soon to become a film. Christmas isn’t Christmas without a good detective novel, so here are three to entertain you; all are the first installments in a series and they might just whet your appetite for more…

£20 for this bundle.

4) Three ideas for older children

A Japanese classic and the inspiration behind Hayao Miyazaki’s forthcoming final film, an ecological adventure in the Amazon rainforest from one of Chile’s most famous authors, and a gripping and hilarious German teen literature prize winner. Three page turners for the young readers in your life.

This bundle is priced at £14 plus postage at cost.

5) New books from independent publishers

A selection of three newly translated books from Mauritius, Iceland and Iraq. An uprising after the death in custody of a beloved musician, a woman coming to terms with her memories or lack of them, and the moving repercussions of war in the Iraqi city of Basra – you won’t find this selection in every bookshop or on the bestseller lists, but independent publishers do vital work in bringing us contemporary titles from around the world to widen our understanding of love, life, death and everything in between.
