The Pennine Way is the first, & some would say the toughest, of Britains National Trails. It runs for 256 miles up from Edale in the Peak District along the crest of the Pennines
- sometimes known as the Backbone of England
- & the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland across the Scottish Border to the village of Kirk Yetholm. The idea of access campaigner & outdoor journalist Tom Stephenson in 1935, the Pennine Way took 60 years to come into being, & is now probably the best-known test of long distance walking in the country. This book is a celebration, rather than a guide to the Pennine Way. While covering the important highlights, it does not stick to the designated route religiously but meanders from the official path where there are points of interest along the way.

The definitive account of the O.J. Simpson trial, The People v. O.J. Simpson is a prodigious feat of reporting that could only have been written by the foremost legal journalist of our time.

Writing less than a year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin explores the secret dealings & manoeuvring on both sides of the case, & how a combination of the prosecution’s over-confidence, the defence’s shrewdness, & the Los Angeles Police Department’s incendiary history with the city’s African-American community, gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.

Rich in character, as propulsive as a legal thriller, this enduring narrative continues to shock & fascinate with its candid depiction of the human drama that upended the world.

The People v. O.J. Simpson tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson & Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of the trial of the century.
