Book Description
These stories are about a group of sweet loving mice called The Nibbly Noshers. They could be made up by anyone with a little bit of imagination and based anywhere in the world. Kathryn happens to live in Morecambe in Lancashire and the best view she can think of is across Morecambe Bay over to the Lake District. This is where the stories are based. These first stories have been written for fun and to capture the imagination of a generation of children, whose main exposure seems to be DVDs, television and computer games. The Nibbly Noshers live in a food orientated world, in which they have lots of adventures. The characters are built upon this devise and the descriptive narrative allows the child's imagination to take over. The mice are tiny creatures who live in a village made up of sweets, for example, their houses are of gingerbread, with rice paper windows and chocolate doors; the roads are of liquorice and the trees are fruit flavoured lollipops. The mice are always hungry and always eating but they get lots of exercise and ALWAYS clean their teeth! They battle with their 'enemies' called the Spice Cats, who shake spices out of their fur and are always after the Nibbly Noshers, although the mice always win!

God in a Cup
Author: Michaele Weissman
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0544186613
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Follow the ultimate coffee geeks on their worldwide hunt for the best beans. Can a cup of coffee reveal the face of God? Can it become the holy grail of modern-day knights errant who brave hardship and peril in a relentless quest for perfection? Can it change the world? These questions are not rhetorical. When highly prized coffee beans sell at auction for $50, $100, or $150 a pound wholesale (and potentially twice that at retail), anything can happen. In God in a Cup, journalist and late-blooming adventurer Michaele Weissman treks into an exotic and paradoxical realm of specialty coffee where the successful traveler must be part passionate coffee connoisseur, part ambitious entrepreneur, part activist, and part Indiana Jones. Her guides on the journey are the nation’s most heralded coffee business hotshots: Counter Culture’s Peter Giuliano, Intelligentsia’s Geoff Watts, and Stumptown’s Duane Sorenson. With their obsessive standards and fiercely competitive baristas, these roasters are creating a new culture of coffee connoisseurship in America—a culture in which $10 lattes are both a purist’s pleasure and a way to improve the lives of third-world farmers. If you love a good cup of coffee—or a great adventure story—you’ll love this unprecedented up-close look at the people and passions behind today’s best beans. “Weissman illustrates how the origin, flavor compounds and socioeconomic impact of a cup of coffee are relevant now more than ever. . . . Tagging along behind the main characters in today’s specialty coffee scene, [she] travels from the exotic to the expected to artfully deconstruct the connoisseur’s cup of coffee.” —Publishers Weekly
