In 2007, after twenty years of living in London, Kate Humble & her husband Ludo decided it was time to leave city life behind them. Three years later, now the owner of a Welsh smallholding, Kate hears that a nearby farm is to be broken up & sold off. Another farm lost; another opportunity for a young farmless farmer gone. Desperate to stop the sale, Kate contacts the council with an alternative plan
- to keep the farm working & to run a rural skills & animal husbandry school alongside it. Against all odds, she succeeds. Here, in Humble By Nature, Kate shares with us a highly personal account of her journey from London town house to Welsh farm. Along the way we meet Bertie & Lawrence the donkeys, Myfanwy & Blackberry the pigs & goats Biscuit & Honey, not forgetting a dog called Badger & his unladylike sidekick Bella. & we are introduced to the tenant farmers Tim & Sarah, the locals who helped & some who didn`t, & a whole host of newborn lambs. Full of the warmth & passion for the natural world that makes Kate such a sought after presenter, Humble By Nature is the story of two people prepared to follow their hearts & save a small part of Britain`s farming heritage, whatever the consequences.

This is a beautifully produced collection of stories written & illustrated by Radiohead`s celebrated cover artist. Welcome to Stanley Donwood`s fictional universe: a landscape of dark streets & high-rise concrete, creeping shadows & shifting perspectives; its citizens forever caught between boredom & paranoia, alive to the threat of menacing machines & Aliens from Outer Space. Here disappearances (people, things) are everyday. Relationships are unstable. Nature has turned unnatural. Unsettling dreams segue into waking nightmares. In Humor, Stanley Donwood reveals himself as a contemporary master of the micro-narrative, riffing on the four humors of the human body
- sanguine, phlegm, choler & melancholy
- to rummage beneath the veneer of sanity that passes for civilised society. Apocalyptic, funny & hallucinogenic in their intensity, these stories present a series of brief, haunting episodes in a world drained of meaning, sense & consequence.

- & from lampooning the attitudes & discourses of the time.
