Powis Castle Unlike most of the castles of Wales, which were intended to suppress the Welsh, Powis was built by the twelfth-century princes of Powys to keep out the English. Almost continually inhabited, and today the residence of the eighth Earl of Powis, this distinctive red stone castle still dominates the Severn Valley just south of Welshpool, Powys. Among its attractions are a beautiful seventeenth-century Italianate garden and The Clive Museum, home to many treasures from India.

Red Squirrel Instantly recognisable, the red squirrel has been a part of this country’s heritage and folklore for many years. However, due to fragmentation of woodland and competition from the more successful grey squirrel, there are now fewer than 140,000 left in Britain, approximately 85% of which are in Scotland. The Isle of Wight is home to the largest population in southern England.

Castles of North Wales & South Wales notecards These notecards from Graffeg feature ten important locations from one of the great castle countries of the world. Between the Norman invasion in 1066 and the English Civil War in 1651 a succession of armies sought to dominate the landscape and people of Wales by constructing, or in many cases trying to destroy, great stone fortresses. There has never been an era of military construction quite like it. Each set of cards contains 10 cards and envelopes, 2 each of 5 designs, all packaged in an attractive gift wallet.

William Wilkins Paintings and drawings ‘The paintings of William Wilkins are some of the most beautiful things that I have seen that have been made in my lifetime.’ David Fraser Jenkins, Senior Curator, Tate Gallery A collection of paintings by William Wilkins CBE, one of Wales leading Fine Art exponents. Focusing upon the remarkable pointillist technique of the artist, this book represents the long and celebrated career of the artist together with the slow maturation of his style. The work of William Wilkins is unique, both it the level of skill it displays and the length of time it occupies. Born of months, even years, of painstaking creation each picture exudes both artistry and joy; a celebration of perception which merits exposure to a wide audience. The pictures themselves are accessible both in terms of content and composition and will therefore appeal to a wide audience of art lovers.

Cat Walk by Jackie Morris Author, illustrator and photographer Jackie Morris explores her native Pembrokeshire in the company of her feline friends. Or rather, they explore the countryside while she tags along taking pictures. Over 50 images with accompanying text tell the story of many walks with many cats. Challenging perceptions and rearranging priorities, Jackie’s insightful poetry and prose allows a glimpse of a world in which cat is king and nature its subject. Ordered and regulated by season, you will find that, although the landscape of Cat Walk may be familiar, what is seen is most certainly different.
‘In the old village that clings to the side of the hill the snow tumbles a deep carpet of white inside the ruined cottage. Winterbone branches of the bare twisted hawthorn clatter and rattle. The cats climb through tumbled stones of the fallen chimney fawr where once other cats had warmed their bodies by ancient firesides.’ Jackie Morris

Buildings that Built Wales
A photo-led compendium of 50 buildings and structures that helped create the Wales we know today. Written by architectural historian Greg Stevenson, with pictures by acclaimed photographer David Wilson, the book explores the idea of identity as established by a nation’s buildings. Alongside the obvious world-class historic and contemporary buildings are a selection of lesser-known but influential structures that have either played a significant part in Wales’ history or which are representative of an influential type of building. There are even a couple of buildings outside Wales, a couple of lost buildings, and a building that moves every year. Sections include: • Forming the Nation • Building the culture and identity of Wales • Building the economy of Wales • Keeping the language alive • Education and Religion • Contemporary Wales, shaping our future 50 Buildings that built Wales • Author Greg Stevenson • Photographer David Wilson • Publication October 2014 • Hardback, 160 pages • Size 250 x 250mm • ISBN 9781905582808 • Price £25 David Wilson

Heritage Trees Wales Wales’ ‘Green Monuments’ Heritage Trees Wales is a collection of the most beautiful, historic and important trees in the country, from the well-known to the rarely seen. Steeped in history and surrounded by myth and legend, many of these trees dominate their surroundings with their physical and cultural presence. Others are more hidden from view.

Discovering Welsh Gardens Wales’ most interesting gardens Fresh, exciting and lively, The Times garden writer Stephen Anderton and award-winning photographer Charles Hawes combine their skills to bring you the very best that gardens in Wales have to offer. This is a chance to see what is happening in Welsh gardens today, be they large or small, contemporary town gardens or delightfully old-fashioned country gardens. How do they relate to the rugged landscapes that surround them? What personalities and ambitions have created them? Featuring classics such as Bodnant, Powis Castle and the National Botanic Garden of Wales, and unsung gems such as Dyffryn Fernant, Lower House and the underground grottoes of Dewstow, you don’t need to be planning a trip to Wales to find this book about Welsh gardens an essential read.
‘A thicker, fresher and more seductive book, a superb production with an opinionated and provocative text and arresting photography…’ Stephen Lacy, The Telegraph
