The Golden Mole
£20.00The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. A pangolin’s tongue is longer than its body. It keeps it furled in a nifty pouch near the hip.A swift flies 200,000 miles in its lifetime. That’s far enough to get to the moon and back – then back to the moon. There’s a fable that storks deliver babies. In fact, the Nazis used them to air-drop propaganda. An illustrated compendium of the staggering lives of some of the world’s most endangered animals, this sumptuous, expanded and updated edition of ‘The Golden Mole’ is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck – to fall for the likes of the wondrous pygmy hippo, the seahorse, the narwhal and, as astonishing and endangered as them all, the human.

The Cultural Tutor
£18.99Who does the Mona Lisa actually depict? Why do we still look to the Greeks and Romans to inform our politics? Where do we find meaning in a world dominated by technology? Culture is like a language. Art, architecture, history and philosophy are its grammar. And, like a language, anyone can learn it. In 2022, Sheehan Quirke took to Twitter (now X) as The Cultural Tutor with the aim of making culture accessible for everyone. He wrote about poetry, paintings, building design, and counter-intuitive but fascinating facts about history and geography. Taught in forty-nine short lessons – from Babylon to Brutalism, Ronaldo to Ragnark – Sheehan takes readers on a delightful and fascinating journey through culture.

Wild Folk
£25.00‘Wild Folk’ comprises seven richly illustrated fables of transformation and power, summoned from the ancient stones beneath our feet and transformed by word and image into portals between past and future.

This book brings together the words of Jackie Morris and the stained-glass paintings of Tamsin Abbott, but the stories come from both, a true collaboration born out of friendship and hope.
