26. Wanderers : A History of Women Walking
£14.99
Kerri Andrews
A book about ten women over the past three hundred years who have found walking essential to their sense of themselves, as people and as writers. Wanderers traces their footsteps, from eighteenth-century parson's daughter Elizabeth Carter--who desired nothing more than to be taken for a vagabond in the wilds of southern England--to modern walker-writers such as Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed. For each, walking was integral, whether it was rambling for miles across the Highlands, like Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, or pacing novels into being, as Virginia Woolf did around Bloomsbury. . . . more

£18.00
John Anthony C. Cunliffe
It’s 1987, and John and Chris Cunliffe’s first hotel, the Hole in the Wall in Bath, has turned into a disaster. Fed up with corporate hospitality, John had left a successful career within the Forte empire, holding senior positions in hotels around the world, then in charge of catering and banquets for some of London’s most venerable institutions. They had bought an established small hotel in a tourist hotspot popular with Americans – but it was plagued with problems. The Americans bombed Libya. Business plummeted. The roof leaked. Business people stopped doing lunch. Tourists preferred pizzas and burgers. There were staff problems. The accounts were a mess. Then Chris sees a small ad in Caterer & Hotelkeeper. ‘John. Gilpin Lodge is for sale. We need to get out of this place. It’s been wrong since day one. Get up to Windermere today. Get the accounts. See the rooms. You’ve always wanted a hotel in the Lakes. They don’t grow on trees. You know the place. It’s in your blood. Just go and get us out of this mess.’ It’s a pivotal moment in Slightly Perfect, and within months Gilpin Lodge, the Lake District house once owned by his grandmother, where John had spent happy childhood summers, is theirs, and so begins a much-loved lifelong project. . . . more
