About this deal

The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened. Before Spike and Faye part ways for the last time, Spike opens up about the truth behind his eyes, bringing them closer than they've ever been before. And that's why Faye is so devastated by his departure, knowing full well that he won't be returning alive. Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken). You're gonna carry that weight." It's been 22 years since the original Cowboy Bebop ended with this now infamous line, and thanks to the ambiguity of the show's final shot, anime fans continue to carry the weight of it with them, even now. No.1 bestselling author David Walliams continues to take the literary world by storm! Often compared to the likes of Roald Dahl, David is undoubtedly one of the world's most talented and funny children's authors.

Did Spike survive to lift himself up and let go of his pain? Or was his fire extinguished like the star that fades out right above him in the night sky? After teaching in England and South Korea, David turned to writing in Germany, where he covered everything from superhero movies to the Berlin Film Festival.

Children will love to dance their way to bedtime with this exciting story full of spectacular surprises! Grannysaurus will be the 10th picture book by Walliams and the third collaboration with illustrator Adam Stower. It will publish on 8th December. For a show about misfit drifters who physically drift through space, Shinichirō Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop is very much concerned with weight, specifically the weight of the past, and how it bears down on the four main characters. But by the end, each of our favourite bounty hunters finds a way to either push past this or eventually succumb to their individual trauma, consumed by the weight of what's come before. In his new dino-mite children's book Grannysaurus he introduces us to Spike, who after creeping downstairs one night in his PJ's, finds his Granny has turned into a dinosaur! And not only that but she's also having a dino disco with her friends Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus and Gigantosaurus. Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe always planned to end the show with this confrontation. "Even before I made the first episode, I already had the ending in mind," he told The Daily Texan in 2006. "Even though I had the ending in mind by myself, I was opposed by my staff. They were upset because they were saying that we wouldn't be able to make a continuation."

Before he became a bounty hunter, Spike worked for the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate alongside a man named Vicious. During their time together, Spike fell in love with his partner's girlfriend, Julia, and the two had an affair. When they wanted to run away together, Vicious told Julia that she would have to kill Spike or he'd kill them both. But of course, she was unable to do that, so instead, Julia went into hiding.

I absolutely love David Walliams's books. In a few more years they will become classics.” - Sue Townsend, author of Adrian Mole So there is no real answer here, and perhaps that's for the best. Spike has always existed somewhere between life and death, sleep and wakefulness, so it's rather fitting that his end should remain just as ambiguous. Bereft, Spike feels more alone than he ever thought possible, and that's why his goodbye talks with Jet and Faye hurt so much. Because it's so obvious to us that he isn't alone at all, that these connections really do matter.

In 2019, David moved to London to join Digital Spy , where he could indulge his love of comics, horror and LGBTQ+ storytelling as Deputy TV Editor, and later, as Acting TV Editor. But then Vicious tries to overthrow the Syndicate's leadership in part one of 'The Real Folk Blues', and suddenly, everything starts to spiral once again for Spike. That is, until a chance encounter with Faye reunites Spike with Julia, his lost love.

Grannysaurus: The funny new illustrated children’s picture book, full of dinosaurs, from number-one bestselling author David Walliams! by David Walliams – eBook DetailsWhen Wobblysaurus gets her very first bicycle, she can’t wait to go and ride with all her friends.

In his own way, Jet tried to dissuade Spike from this whole debacle by telling his version of Ernest Hemingway’s "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", a story that ends with the protagonist considering his own mortality. "I hate stories like that," says Jet at the end. "Men only think about the past right before their death. As if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive." One night, Spike creeps downstairs in his pyjamas to find that his granny has turned into a dinosaur – GRANNYSAURUS! I guess you could say I don't think they'd get along very well," which is pretty heartbreaking when you think about it, because that means Jet would have been left alone in his grief, assuming of course that Spike did indeed die.
