Helle Stangerup var kun tretten år, da hun første gang kom i pressens søgelys. Det skete i 1953, den nye grundlov var netop vedtaget, og en journalist ville vide, hvordan det mon var at gå i klasse med landets kommende Dronning. Journalisten fik aldrig noget svar, og Helle Stangerup har siden da konsekvent holdt skodderne lukkede omkring sig selv og sit farverige liv. I Bag skodderne åbner hun endelig og fortæller løs. Om sin opvækst i "de vilde diskussioners hjem", om de kendte og de magtfulde, der beskrives for det gode, men også for det mindre gode. Om arbejdet bag sit forfatterskab, ligesom hun giver en livfuld skildring af ægteskabet med Adam Knuth og deres opbygning af Knuthenborg Safaripark.

It seems unlikely that James Naismith, who grew up playing "Duck on the Rock" in the rural community of Almonte, Canada, would invent one of America's most popular sports. But Rob Rains and Hellen Carpenter's fascinating, in-depth biography James Naismith: The Man Who Invented Basketball shows how this young man - who wanted to be a medical doctor, or if not that, a minister (in fact, he was both) - came to create a game that has endured for over a century.

Which will win, the Quiet or the Fury?

Merete Pryds Helle har med Ibsens Et dukkehjem som forlæg skrevet fortællingen om Nora, og gennem romanen kommer vi helt ind under huden på hende. Der findes få kvinder i teaterhistorien, som er lige så berømte som fru Nora Helmer. Noras udvikling fra en tilsyneladende underdanig kvinde i et forlorent ægteskab til en kvinde der går sin egen vej, udfolder sig i tre akter: fra den særlige juletid, hvor Torvald Helmer er blevet forfremmet til bankdirektør, over afsløringen som bedrager og den vilde taranteldans, til indsigten i den illusion hun lever i og efterfølgende handlekraft.
