The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession - Amy Stewart
When Amy Stewart discovered a community of tree collectors, she expected to meet horticultural fanatics driven to plant every species of oak or maple. But she also discovered that the urge to collect trees springs from deeper, more profound motives, such as a longing for community, a vision for the future, or a path to healing and reconciliation. In this slyly humorous, informative, often poignant volume, Stewart brings us fifty captivating stories of people who spend their lives in pursuit of rare and wonderful trees and are transformed in the process. Vivian Keh has forged a connection to her Korean elders through her persimmon orchard. The former poet laureate W. S. Merwin planted a tree almost every day for more than three decades, until he had turned a barren estate into a palm sanctuary. And Joe Hamilton cultivates pines on land passed down to him by his once-enslaved great-grandfather, building a legacy for the future. Stewart populates this lively compendium with her own watercolour portraits of these extraordinary people and their trees, side trips to investigate famous tree collections, arboreal glossaries, and even tips for unauthorised forestry. This book is a stunning tribute to a devoted group of nature lovers making their lives - and the world - more beautiful, one tree at a time.

The palace is riddled with hidden passages and the servants are unwilling to let anyone see Harriet during the day.

It s a great trip down memory lane. Librarian Lavender Isn t it great, Cathy, being where we are (age-wise I mean)? I really enjoy being 18 cos you have a degree of independence and yet you can act the gom if you want cos we re not all growed up yet. I don t know if I agree about it being great being 18. I m kinda apprehensive, waiting for it all to come. I think 22-23 d be better. Then you d be sophisticated and knowledgeable ... It s the era of Dynasty, Murphy s Micro Quiz-M and MT-USA on the telly, Kajagoogoo, Culture Club and Chris de Burgh in the charts. And also a time of mass emigration and creeping social change. In 1983 in Carrick-on-Suir two 18-year-olds take tentative steps into the future: Cathy to become an au pair, Mary to study accountancy. For a year they exchange long gossipy letters. The letters are touching, funny, tender and gutsy. They show the girls growing pains as they make sense of their new lives, dream about finding love, and start to realise that the world is a more complex and challenging place than they had ever imagined. Most of all, Cathy and Mary s letters are filled with the eternal optimism and sense of wonderment of youth.

The Cat Prince - Michael Pedersen
WINNER of the 2023 Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Best Poetry Collection Pedersen bends words like no-one else. There s a naughtiness, an innocence and surprising vulnerability in this collection. It s poetry to intoxicate. Just sublime. Juno Dawson Every page of The Cat Prince brought me gladsome joy. Pedersen has the astonishing power of finding the astonishing in every moment that deserves a raised glass Daljit Nagra This laser focused collection of poetry by Michael Pedersen will gut you like a fish and smash your heart in. Searingly specific, exquisite and requisite. I relished reading every tiny morsel of it Shirley Manson Open-hearted, gut-wrenching and yet elegiac, these poems pack a hefty emotional punch. Michael Pederson s poems display a huge vocabulary for love, love in all its many forms and guises. These poems chart the journey from boyhood to manhood, the highs and the lows, the losses and the gains, always working their way towards an essential, emotional truth Jackie Kay If the alphabet is a piano keyboard then Michael Pedersen plays it with the confidence and panache of a jazz improviser who knows that every note can have the potential to change someone s life. Be amazed by this book Ian McMillan Michael s poems are so physical you can almost touch the images in them. Fabulously sensual and alive. I adore poetry like this Stephen FryThe Cat Prince Other Poems is the third collection from prize-winning poet, and author of Boy Friends, Michael Pedersen. All moggy moxie, Pedersen croons to the beauty and devastation of love, loss, friendship, cats and careless joy. Equal parts tender and trenchant, raw and ribald, plangent and smutty, these poems exhibit an emotionally charged, fantastical playground of language and lore. From the brutalising death of a cherished friend comes a gut-wrenching grief. And so begins a tenacious quest for light, lustre and survival as Pedersen pays tender tribute to a gorgeous, life-altering friendship. In doing so, he harks back to the hilarity of being young, reckless and petrified: memories of boys showboating in a fishing tackle shop, games of feline metamorphosis, laments for demolished buildings and a case of constipation of the most pernicious stock.As frisky as it is fierce, The Cat Prince pounces around the poet s emotional and physical landscapes, past and present, unfankling a Scotland full of gothic splendour and nature s majesty.These poems reveal a poet at his bravest and most vulnerable. The Cat Prince Other Poems purrs with affection, flashes its teeth, then digs in the claws.

The Cat Share - Angela Jariwala
Sometimes it’s a simple as meeting the boy next door. Jenni lives alone with her cat Oscar – yes, she’s single but, after breaking up with her boyfriend, she’s more than content to be living alone. Sometimes she worries she might be playing things too safe, but she’s had enough of taking risks. Ben is a firefighter and, if he’s honest, he’s finding life hard. The arrival of a small tabby cat, who Ben decides to call Fred, helps him feel less isolated. But then, one day, Fred appears with a note tied to his collar from someone called Jenni, accusing Ben of stealing her cat! As the two neighbours start corresponding via the cat, their notes to each other reveal the truths they are hiding from even their closest friends, and themselves. The Cat Share is a warm and joyous romantic comedy about two strangers in love with one very greedy cat, inspired by a true story, for fans of The Flat Share, You’ve Got Mail and Rescue Me.
