Noel Fielding's book channels the creative influences of Henri Rousseau, Roy Lichtenstein & Salvador Dali, through the comedian's strange & singular, not to say surreal mind. Hilarious & beautifully produced, the book is a visual feast which will delight & entertain Noel's millions of fans. " Growing up in the jungles of India there was no need for drawing or painting. I would sometimes arrange ants into primitive still lives or scratch out portraits onto the trunks of trees. Things changed when I was 11, a lame tiger who owned a stationery shop gave me the keys to his stock room, I would roll around in acrylic & oil pastels in reverie, licking canvases & tucking coloured pencils into my wild hair.

A startling new book, his most personal to date, from Philip Hoare, winner of the 2009 Samuel Johnson Prize for ' Leviathan'. The sea surrounds us. It gives us life, provides us with the air we breathe & the food we eat. It is ceaseless change & constant presence. It covers two-thirds of our planet. Yet caught up in our everyday lives, we barely notice it. In ' The Sea Inside', Philip Hoare sets out to rediscover the sea, its islands, birds & beasts. He begins on the south coast where he grew up, a place of almost monastic escape. From there he travels to the other side of the world
- the Azores, Sri Lanka, New Zealand
- in search of encounters with animals & people. Navigating between human & natural history, he asks what these stories mean for us now. Along the way we meet an amazing cast; from scientists to tattooed warriors; from ravens to whales & bizarre creatures that may, or may not, be extinct. Part memoir, part fantastical travelogue, ' The Sea Inside' takes us on an astounding journey of discovery.
