If there's one distinctive feature of the British countryside, it has to be the hedgerow. In fact, hedgerows are such an established part of our landscape that sometimes we take them for granted. But take a closer look, & the diversity & variety of plant species that form them is little short of wondrous. & it is not only plant life that thrives in abundance in the hedgerow
- native wild animals, birds & insects are protected & nourished by them. We know that at least 65 species of birds live in our hedgerows & that they are crucial to the survival of moths, bats & dormice. Hedgerows can provide a great fund of fresh, wild food for us, too, & this is partly what this book is about. In The Hedgerow Handbook Adele Nozedar reintroduces the wild & natural hedgerow ingredients that our grandmothers used on a regular basis
- but gives them a fresh & contemporary twist. From angelica to ash & bird cherry to borage, from pineapple weed to plantain & wild garlic to wimberries, each entry is accompanied by an exquisite full colour illustration to help you identify each plant or flower, along with its history & folklore, & culinary & medicinal uses. You won't find yet another recipe for blackberry pie nor nettle soup here, however
- this is not your run-of-the mill hedgerow book. Instead, why not try Adele's Spicy Ash Key Pickle, her Beechnut Turron, Red Clover Lemonade or Wild Raspberry Vodka? The Hedgerow Handbook is much more than a foraging book
- it is an inspiration & a trigger for a new experience of our countryside & for memories: of a summer filled with hot sunny days; or of the time you got drenched in a sudden rain shower miles away from the warmth & dryness of your car or home, which made those blackberry muffins even more enjoyable.

They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, & clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given & the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, & they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them. Bremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield. Obsessed with redemption & addicted to violence, he's far past caring how much blood gets spilled in the attempt. Even if it's his own. Prince Calder isn't interested in honour, & still less in getting himself killed. All he wants is power, & he'll tell any lie, use any trick, & betray any friend to get it. Just as long as he doesn't have to fight for it himself. Curnden Craw, the last honest man in the North, has gained nothing from a life of warfare but swollen knees & frayed nerves. He hardly even cares who wins any more, he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell what that is with the world burning down around him? Over three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. But with both sides riddled by intrigues, follies, feuds & petty jealousies, it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts, or even the strongest arms that prevail. Three men. One battle. No Heroes. ...
