**PRE-ORDER SIGNED EDITION** Hungry

Grace Dent
£16.99

To Be Published October 29th, 2020
We hope to have a limited number of SIGNED COPIES
The long-awaited and much-anticipated memoir from Carlisle-born and bred Grace Dent.
From frazzles to foie gras: a memoir of wanting more from an early age, Grace Dent was hungry. As a little girl watching Paula Yates and Jilly Goolden on TV she yearned to be something bigger, to go somewhere better. "Hungry" traces Grace's story growing up in Currock, Carlisle, to becoming the most recognisable and unique voice on the British food scene today.

It's also everyone's story - treats with your nan. It's the high point of chips and gravy in the school canteen on an otherwise grey day. It's the real story of how the British working classes have really lived, loved, eaten, and had fun over the past 40 years.

**PRE-ORDER** Life on our Planet

David Attenborough
£20.00

David Attenborough says

"I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary. As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion.

The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet is my witness statement, and my vision for the future."

Kindred in spirit to The Lost Words but fresh in its form, The Lost Spells is a pocket-sized treasure that introduces a beautiful new set of natural spell-poems and artwork by beloved creative duo Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. As in The Lost Words, these "spells" take their subjects from relatively commonplace, and yet underappreciated, animals, birds, trees and flowers -- from Barn Owl to Red Fox, Grey Seal to Silver Birch, Jay to Jackdaw.
