The Malvern Hills, an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, have fired the imagination of painters, poets, writers, composers & scientists for many years. & the area has not lost any of its power to surprise, charm & thrill. The Malverns run almost directly north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border, dipping into Gloucestershire at its southern most end. The special quality of the Malverns lies in the contrasts. They make up an easily identifiable narrow ridge that thrust above the patchwork farmland of the Severn Vale 600 million years ago, producing a mountain range in miniature. Mike Smart's collection of photographs capture the spirit of these hills. ...

Bob Dylan's impact on popular music has been incalculable. Having transformed staid folk music into a vehicle for coruscating social commentary, he then swept away the romantic platitudes of rock 'n' roll with his searing intellect. From the zeitgeist-encapsulating protest of " Blowin' in the Wind" to the streetwise venom of " Like a Rolling Stone", & from the stunning mid-sixties trilogy of albums
- " Bringing It All Back Home", Highway 61 Revisited & " Blonde on Blonde"
- "to Time Out of Mind", his stunning if world-weary comeback at the age of 56, Dylan's genius has endured, underpinned by the dazzling turn of phrase that has made him the pre-eminent poet of popular music. Because Dylan's achievements have no equal, his career is the most chronicled in rock history. Here, Sean Egan presents a selection of the best writing on Dylan, both praise & criticism. Interviews, essays, features & reviews from Dylan intimates & scholars such as John Bauldie, Michael Gray, Nat Hentoff & Jules Siegel are interspersed with new narrative & reviews of every single album to create a comprehensive picture of the artist whose chimes of freedom still resound.
