Starring the same Aussie cast – and featuring a guest appearance by the jolly man in red – this merry tale sees Nosh the Nutmobile coming face to face with Santa and his nine reindeer. In the true spirit of Christmas, the reindeer overindulge — they munch too many macadamias and are thus too heavy to take to the sky. A magical ‘tug’ results in a magical chug through the night sky, as Nosh helps Santa deliver the Christmas gifts to the same furry crew we’ve met before...but will he deliver them all in time?

The Inverted Banyan Tree Author: JK Asher 150 x 232mm, 394pp, Adult H/B: 9781925117950 A$29.95

The Malay worldview – precious and inestimable – is expendable in the face of 20th century globalisation and consumerism. Tiger Sanctuary, Port Dickson, is sacred ground to the devout Muslim fishermen whose ancestors have lived there from time immemorial.

The Spirit Guide, Ummah Ibrahim, and GrandSire Long Claws, a white Sumatran tiger, are Guardians who preserve her innocence and mystery. They hold in harmony a larger multi-racial and interfaith community who revere the Supreme Being. Ummah, a patriot and freedom fighter, lives under a divine mandate.

He is to witness Allah’s compassion to all mankind.

But this idyllic haven is poised for pillage. History – exploitation from 16th century European invasions and the Japanese occupation in WWII – has come full circle. Malaya’s own avaricious sons lust for her bountiful wealth. The strings of political intrigue and fanaticism are pulled, and Tiger Sanctuary, pure and lovely, is stained red. Islam is the sacrificial lamb. H ANUM AN DAS
