SPRING: AN ANTHOLOGY FOR THE<br />
CHANGING SEASONS<br />
It is a time of awakening. In our fields,<br />
hedgerows and woodlands, our<br />
beaches, cities and parks, an almost<br />
imperceptible shift soon becomes a<br />
riot of sound and colour: winter ends,<br />
and life surges forth once more.<br />
Whether in town or country, we all<br />
share in this natural rhythm, in the joy<br />
and anticipation of the changing year.<br />
In prose and poetry both old and<br />
new, <strong>Spring</strong> mirrors the unfolding of<br />
the season, inviting us to see what's<br />
around us with new eyes. Featuring<br />
original writing by Rob Cowen,<br />
Miriam Darlington and Stephen Moss,<br />
classic extracts from the work of<br />
George Orwell, Clare Leighton and H.<br />
E. Bates, and fresh new voices from<br />
across the UK, this is an original and<br />
inspiring collection of nature writing<br />
that brings the British springtime to<br />
life in all its vivid glory.<br />

THIS MUCH IS TRUE<br />
Award-winning actor and creator<br />
of a myriad of memorable<br />
characters, Miriam Margolyes is a<br />
British national treasure.<br />
At the age of 80, she has decided<br />
to tell her extraordinary life story -<br />
and it's far richer and stranger than<br />
any part she's played.<br />
THE FOUR WINDS<br />
Texas, 1934. Elsa Martinelli had finally found<br />
the life she’d yearned for. A family, a home<br />
and a livelihood on a farm on the Great<br />
Plains. But when drought threatens all she<br />
and her community hold dear, Elsa’s world is<br />
shattered to the winds.<br />
The Four Winds is a story of love, family,<br />
unbreakable bonds, bravery and hope that's<br />
both powerful and compelling.<br />
AND AWAY...<br />
Bursting with the<br />
unique comic<br />
imagination<br />
that makes him<br />
such a beloved<br />
entertainer,<br />
Bob Mortimer’s<br />
memoir recalls<br />
his numerous<br />
misadventures,<br />
yet also reflects<br />
on the death of<br />
his father and his<br />
own diagnosis<br />
with a serious<br />
heart condition.<br />
12 RULES FOR LIFE<br />
In this book, acclaimed<br />
clinical psychologist Jordan<br />
Peterson provides twelve<br />
practical principles for how<br />
to live a meaningful life,<br />
from setting your house<br />
in order before criticising<br />
others to comparing<br />
yourself to who you were<br />
yesterday, not someone<br />
else today. Happiness is a<br />
pointless goal, he shows<br />
us. Instead we must search<br />
for meaning, not for its<br />
own sake, but as a defence<br />
against the suffering that is<br />
intrinsic to our existence.<br />
