Bob Shepton is an ordained minister in the Church of England in his late 70s, but spends most of his time sailing into the Arctic & making first ascents of inaccessible mountains. No tea parties for this vicar. Opening with the disastrous fire that destroyed his yacht whilst he was ice-bound in Greenl&, the book travels back to his childhood growing up on the rubber plantation his father managed in Malaysia, moving back to England after his father was shot by the Japanese during the war, boarding school, the Royal Marines, & the church. We then follow Bob as he sails around the world with a group of schoolboys, is dismasted off the Falklands, trapped in ice, & climbs mountains accessible only from iceberg-strewn water & with only sketchy maps available. Bob Shepton, winner of the 2013 Yachtsman of the Year Award, is an old-school adventurer, & this compelling book is in the spirit of sailing mountaineer HW Tilman, explorer Ranulph Fiennes, climber Chris Bonington & yachtsman Robin Knox-Johnston, all of whom have been either friends of Bob`s or an inspiration for his own exploits. ...

Addlands is the moving & engrossing story of the Hamer family & their home, the Funnon Farm, deep in the hills of the Welsh borders. There is Idris, proud & insular, a man of the plough & the prayer sheet, haunted by the First World War. Then there is the boy Oliver, who grows to be a near mythic giant in the community, a fighter, a drinker, inescapably rooted in their hard, remote valley. & there is Etty, Oliver`s mother, the centre of this close constellation, who navigates old ways & new technologies as she struggles to ensure her family`s survival. From the ancient silence in the hills to the encroaching roar of modernity, spanning seventy years, Addlands tells of human & animal; it speaks of the land & lets the land speak for itself. It is as vast & complex as a symphony but as pure & moving as a solo voice in an empty church. ...

Addlands

Addlands is the story of two generations of the Hamer family working the Funnon Farm. There is Idris, stubborn, strong, a man of the plough and the prayer-sheet, haunted by the war. Then comes Oliver, a near mythic giant bestriding the landscape, a fighter, a man of the hills as hard as the prehistoric stone. Then there is Etty, Oliver`s mother, the centre of this close constellation, watching new technologies and old ways converge on the farm and on the life of her son. Addlands is instantly a classic of rural British fiction. It is as vast and complex as a symphony but as pure and moving as a solo voice in an empty church. As much a book about birdsong as it is about closing time brawls, Addlands` beauty is in the clear truth of its language and the sheer humane depth of its
inquiries. It is a miraculous book which unfurls at the speed of life and bathes its reader in a rare golden light.
