The Gaol, The Story
Of Newgate, London's
Most Notorious Prison
By Kelly Grovier
£8.49
For over eight hundred years, Newgate Prison was the grimly axle around which British society slowly twisted. Immortalised by Charles Dickens, this was where such legendary outlaws as Robin Hood & Captain Kidd met their fates, where the rapier-wielding playwrights Ben Jonson & Christopher Marlowe sharpened their quills, & where flamboyant highwaymen like Claude Duval & James Maclaine made legions of women swoon. By piercing together the lives of forgotten figures as well as re-examining the prison's link with more famous individuals from Dick Whittington to Daniel Defoe, this thrilling history goes in search of a ghostly place, erased by time, which has inspired more poems & plays, paintings & novels, than any other structure in British history. ...

The Garden Of Eden -
Audio Book
£3.99
A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Cote d' Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, & the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. "A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, & strangely contemporary, The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master doing what nobody did better" (R. Z. Sheppard, Time). ...

The Gardener's Year
£0.99
Every season in the garden has its compensations, whether it is the lusty resurgence of life in spring, the brimming bounty of summer, the brilliant colours of autumn or the ethereal, sculptural beauty of plants in winter. Every season also has its tasks to be performed but while some times are far busier than others, gardening is definitely a year-round occupation if the garden is going to look good 12 months a year. The gardening year divides into the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn & winter, & these are each subdivided into early, mid & late season. This book will remind you of all the things you want & need to do, & also encourage & inspire you to try out some new ideas, while reminding you of all that is best in the garden in the various seasons. But most of all The Gardener's Year will help you to enjoy every aspect of your garden & your gardening to the full, whatever the time of year. ...

The Garden In The Clouds - Confessions Of A Hopeless Romantic

Winner of the National Trust Outdoor Book of the Year 2011 The story of one man's unlikely quest to create out of a mountainous Welsh landscape a garden fit for inclusion in the prestigious Yellow Book - the 'Gardens of England and Wales Open for Charity' guide - in just one year. The son of two passionate gardeners, Antony Woodward was born with chlorophyll running through his veins. Unfortunately, growing up with Latin plant names took its toll, and he was ingrained early on with a profound loathing of both gardens and gardening. Buying Tair-ffynnon, a derelict smallholding 1, 300 feet up in the Black Mountains of Wales, changed everything. Hooked by its beauty - when not buried in cloud - Woodward battles to meet the strict requirements of the famous 'Yellow Book' in this unlikely
terrain. He finds himself driven by apparently inexplicable compulsions: wood chopping, hauling a 20-tonne railway carriage up a mountain, even beekeeping. Soon, his voyage along the rocky path to his own patch of paradise takes on a more personal tenor as he unearths the deep roots linking gardening and his childhood in this warm, funny and unlikely memoir. Beautifully written and effortlessly engaging, 'The Garden in the Clouds' is a compelling read for anyone who has ever gardened - or ever dreamt of doing so.
