In the French port town of Calais, the historic home of the lace industry, a city within a city has arisen. This new town, known as the Jungle, is the home of thousands of refugees, mainly from the Middle East & Africa, all hoping, somehow, to get to the UK. Into this squalid shantytown of shipping containers & tents, full of rats & trash & devoid of toilets & safety, the artist Kate Evans brought a sketchbook & an open mind. Combining the techniques of eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-book storytelling, Evans has produced this unforgettable book, filled with poignant images by turns shocking, angering, wry, & heartbreaking. Weaving into the story hostile comments about the migrants from nativist politicians & Internet trolls, Threads addresses one of the most pressing issues of modern times making a compelling case, through intimate evidence, for compassionate treatment of refugees & the free movement of peoples. Evans`s creativity & passion as an artist, activist, & mother shine through. ...

Winner of the East Anglian Book of the Year 2015 John Craske, a Norfok fisherman, was born in 1881 & in 1917, when he had just turned thirty-six, he fell seriously ill. For the rest of his life he kept moving in & out of what was described as `a stuporous state`. In 1923 he started making paintings of the sea & boats & the coastline seen from the sea, & later, when he was too ill to stand & paint, he turned to embroidery, which he could do lying in bed. His embroideries were also the sea, including his masterpiece, a huge embroidery of The Evacuation of Dunkirk. Very few facts about Craske are known, & only a few scattered photographs have survived, together with accounts by the writer Sylvia Townsend Warner & her lover Valentine Ackl&, who discovered Craske in 1937. So
- as with all her books
- Julia Blackburn`s account of his life is far from a conventional biography. Instead it is a quest which takes her in many strange directions
- to fishermen`s cottages in Sheringham, a grand hotel fallen on hard times in Great Yarmouth & to the isolated Watch House far out in the Blakeney estuary; to Cromer & the bizarre story of Einstein`s stay there, guarded by dashing young women in jodhpurs with shotguns. Threads is a book about life & death & the strange country between the two where John Craske seemed to live. It is also about life after death, as Julia`s beloved husband Herman, a vivid presence in the early pages of the book, dies before it is finished. In a gentle meditation on art & fame; on the nature of time & the fact of mortality; & illustrated with Craske`s paintings & embroideries, Threads shows, yet again, that Julia Blackburn can conjure a magic that is spellbinding & utterly her own.

It was to be a particularly unlucky evening for the mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington, who choked on his cocktail, went into convulsions & died. But when his martini glass was sent for chemical analysis, there was no trace of poison
- just as Poirot had predicted. Even more troubling for the great detective, there was absolutely no motive...
