The much-loved character of Peter Rabbit originated with a Christmas Card, and this edition of the classic tale includes Christmas endpapers, as in the original version. The naughty Peter Rabbit has no intention of following his siblings Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail down the lane to gather blackberries. Before she goes out to buy currant buns, his mother warns them that on no account are they to go into their neighbour Mr McGregor's garden, because Mr McGregor has previously caught Mr Rabbit and put him into a pie. But Peter is unable to resist, gorging himself on lettuces, radishes and parsley, and when Mr McGregor spots him he hides in a watering can and other nooks and crannies in one of the great classic chases of literature, losing his shoes and jacket in the process. Back home, he is sent to bed with camomile tea, while Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail enjoy their blackberries with milk. Gorgeously illustrated with Potter's own inimitable watercolour drawings. 70pp.

All on one disc, two terrific films which includes bonus material of deleted scenes and exclusive documentaries and an audio commentary. The Last King of Scotland stars Forrest Whittaker as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, his story seen through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a young Scotsman who becomes the volatile leader's personal physician. Seduced by Amin's charisma and blinded by decadence, Garrigan's dream life becomes a waking nightmare of betrayal and madness from which there is no escape. Inspired by real people and events, this Academy and BAFTA winning film on DVD has an optional commentary by Kevin McDonald. The second film is Walk the Line featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon powerfully portraying Johnny Cash and the greatest love of his life, June Carter. The music alone is absolutely beautiful and the connection between the actors capture the unbridled talent of the musician and the passion for the talented and beautiful woman he was destined to be with, and the path of self. It has it all. Film one 117 minutes and film two 130 minutes, both in colour DVD.

Directed by the acclaimed Bryan Singer, these two now classic films deliver a high voltage combination of visually stunning special effects, outrageous plot twists and unforgettable characters.
