  • There and back

    £30.00

    The fourth volume of Michael Palin’s widely acclaimed diaries finds him embracing the first decade of a new century. In ‘Travelling to Work’, the third volume covering the years 1988-1998, Michael’s career took an unexpected direction into travel after a decade of filming, writing and acting, and it is travel that would shape his working life for the next 25 years, with eight very successful television series including ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ and ‘Pole to Pole’. The early years of the 21st century see Michael trekking around (around through) the world’s largest desert in Sahara (2002) and travelling around some of the highest mountains in the world in Himalaya (2004), and for a complete change of scenery there was New Europe (2007), in which Michael travelled in the nations of Eastern Europe. In each case he wrote a book about his travels.

  • Pulling the chariot of the sun

    £10.99

    When Shane McCrae was eighteen months old, he was removed from his parents and taken to suburban Texas. His mom was white and his dad was Black, and to hide his Blackness from him, his maternal grandparents stole him. In the years that followed, they manipulated and controlled him, believing they were doing what was best for him. His grandmother loved Shane but hated people who looked like him. His grandfather policed any perceived signs of Blackness his grandson showed. In their house, Blackness would always be the worst thing about him. ‘Pulling the Chariot of the Sun’ is a revelatory account of what it can mean to be Black in America, written with virtuosity and heart by one of the finest poets writing today.
