Before delving into the book, the reader should imagine a vast meadow at the foot of a mountain. There, two men meet unexpectedly: an old man and a young boy. The first has come from the city, the second from the forest. The old man walks with faltering steps, leaning on his staff with a trembling hand. The lines on his face and the flowing gray of his hair speak of a man weathered by time, who knows the secrets and essence of life, and has tasted its bitterness, leading him to pessimism. The old man reaches the meadow and lies down on the grass to rest. A handsome young man, his skin tanned by the sun and radiant with life's joy and exuberance, emerges from the forest carrying his flute. He walks to the old man's resting place and lies down beside him. Not a moment of silence passes before they begin to talk. The old man shares his views on life through his pessimistic eyes and seasoned experience, and the young man responds, explaining life through his joyful and optimistic eyes.

An atmospheric memoir of the season of change from the no. 1 bestselling novelist Kate Mosse 'A beautifully written exploration of nature, memory and life itself. Wonderfully mellow, a golden read' MATT HAIG 'Profoundly captivating, a beautiful book that lingers in the mind.' ELIF SHAFAK 'When the leaves turn to copper and there is dew on the grass in the early morning, I still have that same spike of expectation and anticipation' In Autumn, Kate Mosse celebrates the season of shifting light and crisp mornings. This magical journey through the turning year captures the ever-changing colours of the autumn landscape, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the drift of migrating birds and the last warmth of the sun.

We travel across the harvest fields, follow the river bends of the Ouse and the Lavant, and join the crowds at Lewes on Bonfire Night, where the air crackles with flame and torchlight. Exploring nature, folklore, memory and history, Autumn is a love letter to Sussex and an atmospheric portrait of the season from one of our most celebrated writers.

'A really worthwhile January pick-me-up' - MARIELLA FROSTRUP'Reading it feels like slowing down to take a breath' - EVENING STANDARD*'To sit here with my new companions, observing the sun climbing in the morning skyuntil the point where it illuminates us on the dewy grass, feels like an extraordinary privilege - a taste of enchantment before the beginning of the working day.'Emma Tarlo first meets Nick and Pascal when out walking in Regent's Park, where they are living without shelter under the trees. Gradually, through the sharing of food and life stories, Emma develops a friendship with the pair. Their conversations under the open sky prompt Emma to question many things in her own life, transforming her understanding of what freedom might look like. Under the Hornbeams is a life-affirming story about the power of human connection which upturns our preconceptions about home, work and community.*What readers are saying:'Like entering another world where quiet reflection, humour and openness are possible.' 'If you're feeling rather exhausted by work or by life, [it's] a real escape' 'Reading it is like being given time out to have a rethink.' 'It cannot fail to change anyone profoundly' 'Leaves you feeling at peace with our world' *'[A] preconception busting life-affirming memoir.' - THE BOOKSELLER

THIS is the oldest story in the world. It began to be told when children began to ask questions; and that was very long ago. The children said, "Where did everything come from? Who made the hills and the sea? Who made the sun and the stars?" And their fathers and mothers answered as best they could.In our time, after long study of the earth, there are wise men who know more about these things than anybody knew when the world was young. They ask the earth itself, and tell us what the earth says. But the oldest story is still the best, because it tells us that the world was made by God. And that is what we want to know. In the beginning of all beginnings, so the story goes, the world was a wide sea without a shore. Up and down, and here and there, and all across, nothing could be seen but water. And it was all dark, like the ocean at night when there is no moon. And God said, "Let there be light!" And day appeared. And God made the sky; and under the sky, in the new light of day, in the midst of the vast waters, He made the land; and grass began to grow upon it, and then trees, with leaves and fruit.

A daughter pulled between two worlds and a mother willing to destroy both to protect her... Demeter: a goddess of life, living half of one. Demeter did not always live in fear. Once, she loved the world and the humans who inhabited it. But after an act of devastating violence, she hides herself away among the grasses and wildflowers. Her only solace is her daughter… Before she was Persephone, she was Core. Core is as bright as summer and devoted to her mother, even during their millennia in exile from Olympus. But she craves freedom. Naïve and determined, she secretly builds a life of her own?and as she does so, she catches the eye of a powerful god… The daughters of Olympus will have the last word… Hades kidnaps Core and renames her as Queen of the Underworld. In the land without sun, she realises she may have a chance to regain what she thought she’d lost forever. But Demeter will destroy anything?even the humans she holds dear?to bring her daughter back. A mother who has lost everything and a daughter with more to gain than she ever realised will irrevocably shape the world: all in the name of something as human as love. Gods and men wage their petty wars, but the women of spring will have the last word.

Create stunning crochet collages with this collection of 100 patterns for crochet flowers, plants and petals. Crochet designer and gardener, Chris Norrington, has created 100 crochet motifs arranged in 10 collages based on the beautiful flowers and plants found in her wonderful cottage garden on the edge of the beautiful North York Moors National Park. All of the motifs are inspired in some way by Chris' garden and the collages roughly follow the pattern of the seasons from the first flowers in spring, through to the frosty leaves of winter.The motif designs are inspired by the colours and shapes found in nature and, while some are recognisable as specific plant species, they are not intended to be botanically accurate representations of particular plants.Alongside the more usual front-on view of flowers in full bloom, Chris has included some patterns for flowers viewed from the side, half-opened flowers, buds, seedheads, berries and fungi. There is also a large variety of foliage types from individual leaves to leafy stems, ferns and grasses.Each of the collages has a different, sometimes seasonal, theme and all of the compositions are different - there are wreaths and bouquets, some are arranged in a jug or a vase while others grow straight from the ground.The collage themes include Woodland Glade, inspired by a sun-dappled, shady forest corner with ferns and snowdrops, the Vintage Blue Bouquet collage is inspired by the shapes and soft pastel colours of Lily-of-the-valley and Scabious, and the Flower Meadow collage evokes a prairie-style meadow with ornamental grasses interspersed with tall perennial flowers.You can have fun recreating the collages that Chris has designed or you can mix and match the motifs of your favourite plants and flowers to make your own creations. There are instructions for which yarn to use to create the motifs but you can experiment with different types of yarn to create your own versions.As well as creating the beautiful crochet collages which could be mounted and framed, there are ideas for what to make from the crocheted motifs including decorative applique embellishments on clothes and homewares, as well as bookmarks and keyring charms.

'ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FANTASY SERIES' GEORGE R. R. MARTIN 'GROUND-BREAKING' PATRICK ROTHFUSS 'TAD WILLIAMS IS A MASTER STORYTELLER' BRANDON SANDERSON 'AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY LIBRARY' CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI 'Old cities and old stories were now part of his very life. It was strange how the future seemed tied inseparably to the past, so that both revolved through the present, like a great wheel.' Following a brutal civil war, it is a time of darkness and dread for the realm of Osten Ard. The wild magic and terrifying minions of the undead Sithi ruler, Ineluki the Storm King, are spreading their seemingly undefeatable evil across the kingdom. With the very land blighted by the power of Ineluki's wrath, the tattered remnants of a once-proud human army flee in search of a last sanctuary and rallying point - the Stone of Farewell, a place shrouded in mystery and ancient sorrow. As Prince Josua seeks to rally his scattered forces, Simon and the surviving members of the League of the Scroll are desperately struggling to discover the truth behind an almost-forgotten legend, which will take them from the fallen citadels of man to the secret heartland of the Sithi - where near-immortals must at last decide whether to ally with the race of men in a final war against those of their own blood. In Stone of Farewell, Tad Williams sets his characters against impossible odds and proves that the beloved, internationally-bestselling The Dragonbone Chair was no fluke, but one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time. READERS LOVE STONE OF FAREWELL Lovable characters, detailed world-building, and beautiful prose remain strong as the main highlights of this sequel for me. The Dragonbone Chair ended on such a note that I just did.not.have.the.time to think about a decent review. I simply had to know what happened next. Beautiful, slow burn fantasy. Tad Williams is a wordsmith! Such a great second book in a series. I felt completely immersed in the story and invested in the characters. It might be a slow unravelling, but it is a very satisfying one. The worldbuilding is tremendous. Our view of the world expands and its full of magnificent places, people and their stories. Especially the various subraces of the elvenkind are awesome. I personally rank Osten Ard as one of my favourite fantasy world . . . I would recommend everyone to give this series a try.

'ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FANTASY SERIES' GEORGE R. R. MARTIN 'GROUND-BREAKING' PATRICK ROTHFUSS 'TAD WILLIAMS IS A MASTER STORYTELLER' BRANDON SANDERSON 'AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY LIBRARY' CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI "But remember this lesson, Simon, one fit for kings. . .or the sons of kings. Nothing is without cost. There is a price to all power, and it is not always obvious." Kitchen-boy Simon is bored and restless - a dangerous combination. It seems, however, that his life has just taken a turn for the better when he's apprenticed to his castle's resident wizard. As Simon's learning to read and write under Doctor Morgenes' tutelage, forces greater than he could possibly imagine are gathering. Forces which will change Simon's life and his world forever. A war fuelled by the powers of dark sorcery is about to engulf the peaceful land of Osten Ard. With the death of Prester John, the High King, the land is thrown into turmoil. Into this chaos the Storm King, the undead ruler of the elf-like Sithi, seizes the chance to regain his lost realm through a pact with the newly ascended king. Knowing the consequences of this bargain, the king's younger brother joins with a small, scattered group of scholars, the League of the Scroll, to confront the danger threatening Osten Ard. As darkness descends, Simon is forced to flee the only home he has ever known, a journey which will test him beyond his worst nightmares. With The Dragonbone Chair, Tad Williams introduced readers to the incredible fantasy world of Osten Ard and kicked off the beloved, internationally bestselling series Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. READERS LOVE TAD WILLIAMS 'This series was a direct inspiration for A Song Of Ice And Fire (indeed, two characters are even referenced in passing in that series), and in all honesty, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is infinitely superior.' 'A thoroughly well written and enjoyable first instalment in what promises to be a classic tale of sword and sorcery.' 'Brilliant, a writer who always delivers. Outstanding, the very best in his class!' 'A great first instalment in a superb series [. . .] Highly recommended to those who love the likes of Raymond E. Feist, George R.R Martin and Ursula Le Guin.' 'No one like Tad Williams for me. Gripping from start to finish. Epic.' 'This is classic fantasy at its very best.' 'I don't know how this book evaded me for so long but Usires be praised it was an excellent read. A slow burn for the first half and then an utter thrill fest until the very last sentence. Read this book, read it now.'
