Are you an Alan Bennett fan? #TwoBesides – now out in paperback – comprises two new monologues for Bennett’s landmark Talking Heads series, described by Bennett himself as that of two ‘ordinary women whom life takes by surprise’. In An Ordinary Woman, a mother suffers the inevitable consequences when she makes life intolerable for herself and her family by falling for her own flesh and blood; and The Shrine introduces us to Lorna, the bereft partner of a dedicated biker with a surprising private life.

The natural world is full of mysteries, whether the masses of twigs that look like abandoned nests, fuzzy red balls on roses, stranded ponds on hilltops, or even the shaded ways we walk along. Join the inimitable John Wright, one of Britain's best-known naturalists and author of the bestselling The Forager's Calendar, who introduces us to the natural (and unnatural) mysteries of the countryside in his new, beautifully colour-illustrated book. This is the ideal way to embrace autumn - forget hygge and get outside! Soon you'll be able to identify Witch's Broom, Robin's Pincushion, Dew ponds and Hollow-Ways, and also their histories, how they come to be, and where to find them. From the enormous to the truly tiny he illuminates the oddities that pepper our countryside and the pleasure of spotting and understanding them. Beautifully illustrated, practical and entertaining, this is a grown-up Eye Spy for anyone who has wondered what is that? or simply longs to get outside again. Out today! #johnwright #aspottersguidetocountrysidemysteries #countryside #rambling #countrysidemysteries #nonfiction #bookgift

‘A sweeping, absorbing history, deeply researched, of that extraordinary and enduring phenomenon: the library’ – Richard Ovenden On Thursday, we publish #TheLibrary: A Fragile History by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen. In this stunning tome Pettegree and der Weduwen recount the extraordinary history of the library, from Alexandria to the age of Google.

Happy publication day @robertgreeneofficial whose new book THE DAILY LAWS is out today in the UK from bookshops, online and in audiobook. Over the last 22 years, Robert Greene has provided insights into every aspect of being human whether that be getting what you want, understanding others' motivations, mastering your impulses, and recognizing strengths and weaknesses. The Daily Laws distills that wisdom into daily entries. Each entry delivers refined and concise wisdom from one of his books, in an easy to digest lesson that will only take a few minutes to read, as well as a Commandment -- a prescription or prompt for the reader to follow. Not only is The Daily Laws the perfect entry point for those new to Greene's penetrating insight, but it will also help the many Greene fans throughout the world understanding and internalizing the many lessons that fill his books. It is a guide to a lifetime of reading and re-reading about power, seduction, strategy, psychology and human nature. #TheDailyLaws #The48Laws #The48LawsofPower #TheArtofSeduction #33strategiesofwar #33strategies
