Hope Bourne, doyenne of Exmoor writers, was fascinated by the history of herhome, its landscape and its people. She published much on the subject, but themost substantial work was A Little History of Exmoor, published in 1968 andnever reprinted.Although not a professional historian, in that book Hope traced - in her customarilyevocative and eminently readable prose - the key developments in Exmoor'slong heritage: the Celtic and Saxon colonisation; the Norman development of theRoyal Forest; the disafforestation and acquisition by the Knight family of a vasttract of the Moor in the nineteenth century; and the advent of the National Parkin the twentieth century. The text was accompanied by a selection of HopeBourne's fine drawings, which further brought to life the key themes of her story.In this entirely re-set version of the book, new generations can now experienceHope's unique interpretation of Exmoor's history, which was tempered andinformed by her direct experience of living the sort of existence that would havebeen familiar to Exmoor dwellers many centuries before.

For half of her lifetime, Hope lived in and around the village of Withypool on the southern side of the Moor. In the late 1960s, at a time of great personal unhappiness, she sought increasing solace in her friends, neighbours and the landscape around her. Finding her daily business restricted to Withypool and its environs, she set about writing a tribute to the place. She recounts a time before mobile phones and the internet had come to dominate daily life, when communication was a gossip over a half-open stable door and wireless meant the radio. She takes the reader around the village, along the river and out again around the parish boundaries, describing people, local events, farms and the changing landscape.

From Man Booker Prize Finalist Ali Smith, Winter is the second novel in her Seasonal Quartet. This much-anticipated follow-up to Autumn is one of the Best Books of the Year from the New York Public Library. “A stunning meditation on a complex, emotional moment in history.” —Time Winter. Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. And now Art’s mother is seeing things. Come to think of it, Art’s seeing things himself. When four people, strangers and family, converge on a fifteen-bedroom house in Cornwall for Christmas, will there be enough room for everyone? Winter. It makes things visible. Ali Smith’s shapeshifting Winter casts a warm, wise, merry and uncompromising eye over a post-truth era in a story rooted in history and memory and with a taproot deep in the evergreens, art and love.

It's a hot 4th of July night in New York City. In the darkness of the Bronx, thousands of boys have gathered from all across the city. Among them are the warriors of the Coney Island Dominators. Ismael Rivera, leader of the Delancey Thrones, has called an assembly of New York's disparate youth gangs. Why should they keep taking it from the Man when they could be the ones giving it to everyone else? But when the assembly descends into violence, the Dominators are suddenly a very long way home from home. The Warriors follows the Dominators as they rape and murder their way back to Coney Island through the terrifying New York night. First published in 1965, Sol Yurick's bleak and shocking novel is a brutal tale of young men left to raise themselves, and an urgent warning about the animal savagery that emerges from the torn fabric of human society.
