The fabulously eccentric (and secretly kind) Madame Badobedah returns for another escapade in this call to adventure--and ode to female explorers and pioneers--from Sophie Dahl and Lauren O'Hara. Mabel lives with her parents in the Mermaid Hotel, where she keeps an eye on all the guests, particularly her friend, the endlessly fascinating Madame Badobedah. Madame Badobedah, who considers herself part of a long tradition of daring women such as Amelia Earhart and Zora Neale Hurston, has pirouetted through pyramids, swum with mermaids, and helped a triceratops with a toothache. Just opening one of the drawers in her dressing table full of mementos elicits tales of banshees and curses and an exciting new quest: a reverse jewel heist! On a mission to return a priceless "borrowed" emerald, Mabel and her adopted godmother don their best spy costumes and head to the Natural History Museum, where they might just meet an old--very old--friend. But as Mabel discovers, no one is too young or old for adventure, because it's adventuring that makes life worthwhile. In concert with Lauren O'Hara's fantastical illustrations, Sophie Dahl spins a tale of intergenerational friendship that shines like Madame Badobedah's found sea glass: a colorful treasure.

Die wunderbarste Liebesgeschichte der Welt. Ein ungewöhnlicher Roman in Bildern, der das Herz aufgehen lässt, von Sophie Dahl, der Enkelin des berühmten Roald Dahl. Schlicht: Ein Buch zum Verlieben, für Verliebte und Liebende, aber auch solche, die es noch nicht oder nicht mehr sind.

Sophie Dahl, Enkelin des weltberühmten Autors Roald Dahl und inzwischen selbst eine gefeierte Schriftstellerin, beweist mit ihrem Kochbuch einmal mehr ihr vielseitiges Talent. Ende der neunziger Jahre war sie die sinnliche Antwort auf Kate Moss. Heute ist sie nicht minder erfolgreich mit ihrer Philosophie des Genuss-Essens: kein Kalorienzählen, sondern erfrischende Wellness-Küche. Mit opulenten Bildern, klugen, selbstironischen Texten, illustriert mit eigenen Zeichnungen, und ausgesuchten Rezepten, von denen jedes eine kleine Geschichte erzählt, ist Miss Dahls Buch ein Kunstwerk für alle Sinne. Extravagant und mit Liebe zum Detail, verführt das Model mit zauberhaftem Charme und unverstellter Freude am Essen. Ein sehr persönlicher Blick in ihr Leben - und ein Hochgenuss!
