The Ramayana is one of the great epics of the ancient world, with versions spanning the cultures, religions & languages of Asia. Its story of Rama`s quest to recover his wife Sita from her abduction by Raavana, the Lord of the Underworld, has enchanted readers & audiences across the Eastern world for thousands of years. Daljit Nagra was captivated by his grandparents` Punjabi version as a child, & has chosen to rejuvenate the story for a new generation of multicultural, multi-faith readers. By drawing on scenes originating in versions such as those from Cambodia, Laos & Thail&, as well as the better-known Indian Ramayanas, & by incorporating elements of Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain & secular versions, Nagra creates a consciously multicultural Ramayana. This dazzling version is both accessible & engaging, written in Nagra`s typically vibrant & eclectic language, & bursting with energy, pathos & humour. ...

This fascinating ramble through the history of walking delves into our relationship with the British countryside. ` Ramble On` tells the story of how country walks were transformed from a small & often illegal pastime to the most popular recreational activity in the country. From the brave band of hikers who scaled the off-limits peak Kinder Scout in 1932, via the intricate Lake District guides of Alfred Wainwright, to the resistant landowners (including the notorious Nicholas Van Hoogstraten, Madonna & Jeremy Clarkson) who have done their level best (and worst) to keep walkers off their land
- this is the definitive history of rambling. Perfectly capturing the sense of exhilaration on reaching the summit of a blustery hill-top path, ` Ramble On` is for anyone who has ever pulled on a pair of walking boots or is partial to the taste of Kendal mintcake.
