Douglas Adams
.......................................................................................................................
Douglas Adams's mega-selling cult classic
A special edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
reissued with a bright retro design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary.
It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets
demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new
hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this
moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an
innocuous-looking book inscribed in large, friendly letters: DON'T PANIC.
An international phenomenon and a pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy has been a radio show, TV series, stage play, comic book and film, and
is a work of true comic genius. It was the first Pan Original to sell more than one
million copies.

THE DAM BUSTERS
Paul Brickhill
.......................................................................................................................
The first Pan paperback to sell over a million copies, reissued in honour of
Pan's 70th birthday.
A special edition of The Dam Busters by Paul Brickhill reissued with a bright retro
design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary.
On 17 May 1943, nearly 350 million tons of water crashed into the valleys of the
Ruhr when the Lancaster bombers of 617 Squadron breached the giant Moehne and
Eder Dams with colossal 'blockbuster' bombs. The Dam Busters tells the story of the
raid and the squadron of fearless airmen who carried it through. Again and again,
the crews of 617 Squadron Bomber Command used their flying skills, their
tremendous courage and Barnes Wallis' highly accurate bouncing bombs to deal
devastating blows to Nazi Germany.
One of the most daring true stories to emerge from the Second World War, Paul
Brickhill's The Dam Busters inspired the famous 1955 film starring Michael
Redgrave and Richard Todd.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Paul Brickhill was born in 1916 in Australia, and was a fighter pilot in the Royal
Australian Air Force before becoming a Fleet Street journalist and one of the first

H. G. Wells
.......................................................................................................................
H. G. Wells' time travel classic
A special edition of The Time Machine by H. G. Wells reissued with a bright retro
design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary.
A brilliant scientist constructs a machine, which, with the pull of a lever, propels
him to the year AD 802,701. The time traveller finds himself on an idyllic Earth
inhabited by the small, incredibly beautiful Eloi people who live quiet, purposeless
lives in paradise. Yet all is not as it seems, and beneath the earth Morlocks - a
terrifying, cannibal race that toil in the darkness - are lying in wait . . .
Considered by many to be the best science-fiction novel of all time, The Time
Machine is a pioneering classic and truly gripping tale from the author of The War
of the Worlds and The Invisible Man.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Herbert George Wells, the son of a shopkeeper and a lady's maid, was born in Kent
in 1866. A bookish child, his education was interrupted when he served a brief and
gruelling apprenticeship to a draper. But Wells then went on to study biology under
the great T. H. Huxley, before finding instant literary success in 1895 with the
publication of his first 'scientific romance', The Time Machine. This was followed
in quick succession by The Island of Dr Moreau, The Invisible Man and The War of
the Worlds. A visionary and lifelong socialist, Wells also wrote extensively on social
issues, history and science. He died in 1946.

THE LADY VANISHES
Ethel Lina White
.......................................................................................................................
Ethel Lina White's thriller classic, featuring the original 'girl on a train'
scenario.
A special edition of The Lady Vanishes by Ethel Lina White reissued with a bright
retro design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary.
In this nail-bitingly tense thriller, a girl on a train finds herself in a terrifying
situation when her travelling companion vanishes suddenly from their compartment
whilst she is sleeping. Every other passenger aboard insists that the woman doesn't
exist - that she was never there at all. But as the train rattles on through Europe it
becomes increasingly clear that something very sinister is at work.
Originally published as The Wheel Spins, this gripping psychological suspense novel
was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's famous 1938 thriller starring Margaret
Lockwood and Michael Redgrave.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ethel Lina White was born in Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, Wales in 1876. She
initially worked for the Ministry of Pensions but quit her job in order to write. She

films. The Wheel Spins, a masterpiece of suspense writing about a girl on a train,
was immortalised by Alfred Hitchcock as The Lady Vanishes. Vastly successful in
her day, White was as well-known as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers but
fell into obscurity following her sudden death in 1944.

Arthur Conan Doyle
.......................................................................................................................
A prehistoric adventure classic by the beloved author of Sherlock Holmes.
A special edition of The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle reissued with a
bright retro design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary.
In a rip-roaring journey of peril and adventure, four explorers find a lost prehistoric
world in the remote wilds of South America. Huge pterodactyls rule the skies and
the jungle beneath is home to lumbering stegosaurus, carnivorous dinosaurs and
terrifying ape-men. If the adventurers can survive then fame and fortune almost
certainly await them back in London, but in this dangerous land that defies all
science and reason who knows what could happen.
First published in 1912, this thrilling story by the creator of Sherlock Holmes and
Dr Watson was the inspiration for Jurassic Park.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. He trained to be a doctor at Edinburgh
University and eventually set up a medical practice in Southsea. During the quiet
periods between patients, he turned his hand to writing, producing historical novels

novels and fifty-six stories involving his most celebrated creations, Sherlock
Holmes and Dr Watson. Doyle was knighted in 1902. In later life he devoted much
of his time to his belief in Spiritualism, using his writing and celebrity as a means
of providing funds to support activities in this field. He died in 1930.

ENGLAND, THEIR ENGLAND
A G Macdonell
.......................................................................................................................
A. G. Macdonell's affectionately satirical comedy of 1920s English society.
A special edition of England, Their England by A. G. Macdonell reissued with a
bright retro design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary.
Banished from his native Scotland by a curious clause in his father's will, Donald
Cameron moves to London and decides to conduct a study of the English people; a
strange race who, he is told, have built an entire national identity around a
reverence for team spirit and the memory of Lord Nelson . . .
What follows is one of the funniest social satires ever written. Whether Cameron is
haplessly participating in a village cricket match, being shown around an exclusive
golf course, or trying to watch a rugby match in the thick London fog, his
affectionately bemused portrait of his new countrymen is a joy to read.
Reminiscent of the gentle wit of P. G. Wodehouse and Jerome K. Jerome, England,
Their England offers a delightful portrait of Britain in the 1920s.

Archibald Macdonell was born in India in 1895. He began writing after being
invalided out of the army during the First World War, working as a critic for the
London Mercury. The publication of England, Their England in 1933 brought him
critical acclaim and near-instant fame. He wrote many further novels, military
history, several plays, and was a well-known radio broadcaster at the beginning of
the Second World War. Macdonell died suddenly in 1941.
REVIEWS
'[England, Their England] is a joy to read . . . a book which must certainly not be

THE PROVINCIAL LADY
E. M. Delafield
.......................................................................................................................
An abridged edition of E. M. Delafield's Diary of a Provincial Lady and The
Provincial Lady Goes Further.
A special edition of The Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield reissued with a bright
retro design to celebrate Pan's 70th anniversary.
The Provincial Lady should lead a charmed, upper-middle class life in her
Devonshire village but with a husband reluctant to do anything but doze behind The
Times, mischievous children and trying servants, it's a challenge keeping up
appearances on an inadequate income, particularly in front of the infuriating and
haughty Lady Boxe.
Delightfully witty, the Provincial Lady was the Bridget Jones of the 1930s,
documenting the chaotic peculiarities of everyday life with wonderful wit and
humour. This abridged edition takes the very best extracts from her first two
'diaries' and presents them as one brilliantly comic novel.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
E. M. Delafield (1890-1943) was born in Sussex. Her mother was also a wellknown novelist, writing as Mrs Henry de la Pasture, and Delafield chose her pen
name based on a suggestion by her sister Yoé. A debutante in 1909, Delafield was
accepted as a postulant by a French religious order in 1911 but decided against
joining, a topic she explores in her novel Consequences (1919).

Delafield worked as a nurse in a Voluntary Aid Detachment following the outbreak
of the First World War, and her first novel Zella Sees Herself was written during
this time and published in 1917. Diary of a Provincial Lady, her most successful
novel, inspired several sequels and is a tongue-in-cheek portrayal of Delafield
herself, written after a request by the editor of Time and Tide for some 'light
middles' in serial form.

John Buchan was born in Perth in 1875, the son of a Church of Scotland Minister.
After being educated locally, he attended Glasgow University and Brasenose
College Oxford. He exchanged comparative poverty for affluence by his success as
an author, but it was as a lawyer that his reputation began. He went to South Africa
to serve as private secretary to the British Colonial administrator, Alfred, Lord
Milner and assisted in reconstruction of the country after the Boer War. He entered
publishing in 1906 as partner in the firm of his friend Thomas Nelson and married
Susan Charlotte Grosvenor, cousin of the Duke of Westminster, in 1907. They had
four children. Buchan was elected to Parliament in 1911, served in various
capacities during the First World War, including writing speeches for Sir Douglas
Haig and taking on the role of Director of Information under Lord Beaverbrook.
He returned to the House of Commons in 1927 and then in 1935 he was appointed
Governor-General of Canada and became Lord Tweedsmuir. He died in 1940. John
Buchan was a prolific author and wrote poetry and biographies as well as novels,
but he is still best remembered for his adventure stories and in particular the five
Hannay novels: The Thirty Nine Steps, Greenmantle, Mr Standfast, The Three
Hostages, and The Island of Sheep.

This selection of Rudyard Kipling's short stories features ten of his most brilliant

hallucinating poets and shell-shocked gardeners, Kipling uses the full force of his
creative powers to devastating effect.

first book ever published as a Pan paperback.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between
India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his
novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the
following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling
wrote the two Jungle Books and Captains Courageous. He continued to write
prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature
in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle
of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.

The ultimate holiday nightmare.

It was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the

it, washed up on the long, white stretch of beach … A summer of terror had begun.
Peter Benchley's Jaws first appeared in 1974. It has sold over twenty million copies
around the world, creating a legend that refuses to die - it's never safe to go back in
the water …
