**PRE-ORDER ** SIGNED EDITION English Pastoral : An Inheritance

**PRE-ORDER ** SIGNED EDITION English Pastoral : An Inheritance

James Rebanks
£20.00

English Pastoral tells of an ancient landscape on the verge of collapse.

It is a chronicle of three generations on a small fell farm, who saw the old ways slip away and the fields pulled out of shape by forces far beyond their control. It is a song of witness and of hope, of sustaining life on the land through uncertain times. It is the story of a community who cling on; of a little life filled with meaning; of a natural inheritance that affects us all.

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.

A tale of triumph, of hope over despair. This is the much anticipated book to follow on from The Salt Path

Nature holds the answers for Raynor and her husband Moth. After walking 630 homeless miles along The Salt Path, living on the windswept and wild English coastline; the cliffs, the sky and the chalky earth now feel like their home.

Moth has a terminal diagnosis, but against all medical odds, he seems revitalized in nature. Together on the wild coastal path, with their feet firmly rooted outdoors, they discover that anything is possible. Now, life beyond The Salt Path awaits and they come back to four walls, but the sense of home is illusive and returning to normality is proving difficult - until an incredible gesture by someone who reads their story changes everything.
