September 2012 4 Tottering-by-Gently: Tails of Tottering Hall Annie Tempest Tails of Tottering Hall brings to life the antics of black Labrador Slobber and springer spaniel Scribble, along with assorted canine friends. Slobber has a firm place in both Dicky's and Daffy's affections and his relationship with each of them reveals much about their individual idiosyncrasies as well as their relationships with others. What shines through the cartoons is the important role that dogs play in family life and if you are a dog lover you will identify with much of what occurs within these pages. £12.99 • Hardback • 978-0-7112-3376-8 • 160 x 120mm • 112pp fully illustrated throughout • September 2012 Tottering-by-Gently: Tottering Life Annie Tempest introduction by Mark Hedges, Editor of Country Life This collection of Tottering-by-Gently, the eighth in the series, includes cartoons from Country Life published 2006-2007.

Through the lives of Dicky and Daffy's extended family, Annie Tempest casts her gimlet eye over everything from inter-generational tensions, the differing perspectives of men and women, to dieting, field sports, and much, much more. Annie Tempest lives in Stibbard, Norfolk. £25.00 • Hardback • 978-0-7112-3186-3 • 212 x 272mm • 112pp fully illustrated throughout • September 2012
Pennine Way Companion - Second Edition Alfred Wainwright Revised by Chris Jesty Preposterous Erections A Book of English Towers Peter Ashley The Pennine Way – England’s first continuous long-distance path for walkers – stretches for 268 miles from Derbyshire to the Scottish Borders along the length of the Pennines. Inaugurated in 1965, it has become one of the most popular long-distance footpaths in Britain. For those starting in the south, it runs from Edale in Derbyshire through the old West and North Ridings of Yorkshire, Westmorland, Cumberland, and Northumberland before reaching its northern terminus at Kirk Yetholm, just over the Scottish border. Wainwright’s handwritten guide to the route, with its magnificent detailed maps and occasionally tongue-in-cheek text, was first published in 1968. This new edition has been brilliantly revised and updated by Chris Jesty to meet the goal Wainwright set for the original edition: ‘to enable walkers to follow the Pennine Way without putting a foot wrong...’ Born in Blackburn in 1907, Alfred Wainwright left school at the age of 13. A holiday at the age of 23 kindled a life-long love affair with the Lake District. Following a move to Kendal in 1941 he began to devote every spare moment he had to researching and compiling the original seven Pictorial Guides. Shortly before he died in 1991, Wainwright said that if ever the Pictorial Guides were to be revised, Chris Jesty should be given the job. Chris Jesty lives in Kendal. £13.99 • Hardback • 978-0-7112-3368-3 • 170 x 112mm • 224pp b/w hand-drawn illustrations throughout • September 2012 Preposterous Erections brings together 60 uniquely fascinating towers from all corners of England. From the parkland Brizlee Tower in Northumberland to the coastal Doyden Castle in Cornwall, Peter Ashley tells us their stories through his own very individual photographs and his witty and irreverent commentary. Although there is an obvious core of eighteenth and nineteenth-century landowner's eccentricities, the more recent past is not forgotten, including the instantly recognisable Post Office tower in London's Fitzrovia and the more retiring Lewis's department store art deco tower in Leicester. Monument or observatory, watch tower or water tower, these are 60 of the very best. Preposterous Erections will arouse the interest of even the most casual observer. Peter Ashley is the author and photographer of over 20 books. He broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio 4. He lives in Slawston, Leicestershire. £12.99 • Paperback • 978-0-7112-3358-4 • 243 x 170mm • 128pp 125 colour photographs & illustrations • September 2012 5 September 2012
