‘There are few bits of history more mythologised, sensitive and political than Sparta, but luckily we have Bayliss’ – Dan Snow

This week, we publish Andrew Bayliss’ definitive history of the Spartans. #Sparta traces the story of Ancient Greece’s most iconic city-state, from its humble beginnings as a hamlet in the Peloponnese to its meteoric rise as the foremost military superpower of the Classical world. Bayliss uncovers the eclectic quirks that set Sparta above its rivals: its famous double monarchy, the harsh methods for raising children as soldiers and the unique role of women in Spartan life.

Let’s strip away the legends to unmask the real Spartans. #Sparta: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Superpower by Andrew Bayliss publishes this Thursday.

‘Pitch-perfect’ Observer

‘A mini-masterpiece’ The Times

‘We have a choir and on special occasions a glass of dry sherry. It’s less of a home and more of a club and very much a community.’

Presided over by the lofty Mrs McBryde, Hill Topp House is a superior council home for the elderly. Among the unforgettable cast of staff and residents there’s Mr. Peckover the deluded archaeologist, Phyllis the knitter, Mr Cresswell the ex-cruise
ship hairdresser, the enterprising Mrs Foss and Mr Jimson the chiropodist. Covid is the cause of fatalities and the source of darkly comic confusion, but it’s also the key to liberation. As staff are hospitalised, protocol breaks down. Miss Rathbone reveals a lifelong secret, and the surviving residents seize their moment, arthritis allowing, to scamper freely in the warmth of the summer sun.

‘Violet? She’ll be having a little lie-down,’ said Mrs McBryde. ‘She likes to give her pacemaker a rest. I’ll rout her out.’

The Sunday Times bestseller, #KillingTime by Alan Bennett, is out today in paperback.

Unlock the secrets of the sleeping mind… 💤

Dreams slip away when we wake, their remnants jumbled and only half-recalled. Some leave behind surreal sensations or bursts of creativity. Others leave us shaken.

But why do we dream at all? How do our bodies interface with our brains while we sleep? Why do some dreams go bad? And how can we harness our sleeping minds to improve our waking lives?

Pioneering researcher in sleep medicine Dr Michelle Carr unlocks the science behind the sleeping body. Drawing on her expertise in nightmares, lucid dreaming and the cutting-edge field of dream engineering, she reveals how we can revolutionise our sleeping – and waking – health.

#IntoTheDreamLab by Michelle Carr publishes tomorrow ☁️

Faber and Faber and Profile Books are delighted to be publishing Alan Bennett’s Enough Said, his fourth collection of diaries and prose.

Taking up where Sunday Times bestseller Keeping On Keeping On left off, and covering the turbulent years 2016 to 2024, the diaries take us through lockdown, Brexit, the reign of Johnson, the rise of Trump, the death of the Queen and the author’s 90th birthday.

In between, Alan holidays in Paris and Venice, returns to favourite haunts in England, and visits churches, antique shops and the National Gallery. We take the train with him back and forth to Yorkshire, celebrate the herons, the newts and the street fairs, and lament the scarcity of curlews, the closure of the last local bank and the deteriorating welfare state. There is the premiere of Allelujah!, the revived Talking Heads, the publication of two Sunday Times bestsellers and the filming of The Choral.

Enough Said will be published on the 19 March.

Pre-order with @waterstones through the link in our bio.
