From climbing trees and making dens to building sa From climbing trees and making dens to building sandcastles and pond-dipping, many of the activities we associate with a happy childhood take place outdoors. And yet, the reality for many contemporary children is very different. Studies tell us that we are raising a generation of children alienated from nature; many can't identify the commonest birds or plants and don't know where their food comes from. They are shuttled from home to school and to the shops, and spend very little time in green spaces - let alone roaming free. 🌳 In this timely and personal book, celebrated nature writer Patrick Barkham draws on his own experience as a parent and a forest school volunteer to explore the relationship between children and nature. Unfolding over the course of a year of snow suits, muddy wellies and sun hats, Wild Child is both an intimate story of children finding their place in the natural world and a celebration of the delight we can all find in even modest patches of green.

England, 2020. There are 1.2 million human sized r England, 2020. There are 1.2 million human sized rabbits living in the UK. They can walk, talk and drive cars, the result of an Inexplicable Anthropomorphising Event fifty years ago. 🐰 And a family of rabbits is about to move into Much Hemlock, a cosy little village where life revolves around summer fetes, jam-making, gossipy corner stores, and the oh so important Best Kept Village Awards. 🐰 No sooner have the rabbits arrived than the villagers decide they must depart. But Mrs Constance Rabbit is made of sterner stuff, and her family are behind her. Unusually, so are their neighbours, long time residents Peter Knox and his daughter Pippa, who soon finds that you can be a friend to rabbits or humans, but not both. 🐰 With a blossoming romance, acute cultural differences, enforced rehoming to a MegaWarren in Wales, and the full power of the ruling United Kingdom Anti-Rabbit Party against them, Peter and Pippa are about to question everything they'd ever thought about their friends, their nation, and their species. 🐰 It'll take a rabbit to teach a human humanity... 🐰 @jasperfforde’s The Constant Rabbit is out today and we have signed copies in store. What's even more exciting is that we are mentioned in the book!

Twins, inseparable as children, ultimately choose Twins, inseparable as children, ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds: one black and one white. ♊️ The Vignes sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything, including their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. Across the country, the other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, although separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen when their own daughters' storylines intersect? ♊️ Weaving together multiple strands and generations, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, The Vanishing Half is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of race, gender, and identity, and the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's desires and expectations. ♊️ The Vanishing Half is a bestseller already and it has just been announced that @hbo will be adapting the book into a miniseries!
Spring is coming slowly to Sweden - though not qui Spring is coming slowly to Sweden - though not quite as slowly as Detective Ulf Varg's promised promotion at the Department of Sensitive Crimes. 🕵🏻‍♂️ For Varg, referred by his psychoanalyst to group therapy at Malmö's Wholeness Centre, life now seems mostly a circle of self-examination, something which may or may not be useful when it comes to the nature of his profession and the particularly sensitive cases that have recently come to light. 🕵🏻‍♂️ All in a day's work for Detective Varg, except that one of his new investigations involves fellow detective Anna; it will require every ounce of self-discipline he has in order to remain professional. The other, more curious case is centred around internationally successful novelist Nils Personn-Cederström. According to his girlfriend, Cederström is being blackmailed - but by whom and for what reason? 🕵🏻‍♂️ Accompanied by his irritating but kindly colleague Blomquist, Varg begins his enquiries and soon the answers fall neatly into place. Nothing and no one is ever that simple, however, and not for the first time Varg learns as much about his own emotional and moral landscape as he does about the motives of others. Now he must make a possibly life changing decision. Will he choose his own happiness over that of the woman he loves?
