Three Singles to Adventure An Expedition to Guyana Gerald Durrell ISBN: 978 1 84024 718 3 £7.99 129×198mm 160pp Paperback January 2009 Rights: UK, Europe (English only), Commonwealth excluding India

‘Three singles to Adventure, please,’ I said, trying to look as nonchalant as possible. ‘Yes, sir,’ said the clerk. ‘First or second class?’ In 1950, Gerald Durrell travelled to British Guiana (now called Guyana) to bring back fauna native to that corner of South America. He takes a riverboat up the Essequibo through lush tropical forests and treks across a landscape teeming with life and a riot of colours: from the crimson-breasted military starlings to the copper-toned howler monkeys. He gets into a sticky situation with an angry two-toed sloth and learns how (or how not) to lasso a galloping anteater. There is one thing to be said for collecting animals: it can never be described as dull.

‘You can’t deny that there are some species that now exist because of him’ Craig Bennett, Friends of the Earth ‘A renegade who was right... He was truly a man before his time’ Sir David Attenborough ■ Other titles in this series include Menagerie Manor, ISBN: 978 1 84024 593 6, The Aye-aye and I, ISBN: 978 1 84024 631 5 and Golden Bats and Pink Pigeons, ISBN: 978 1 84024 635 3.

Gerald Durrell lived in Corfu with his family as a boy and became fascinated by the island’s natural history; these years are famously documented in My Family and Other Animals. His lifetime’s work began with expeditions to collect endangered animals from all over the world and bring them to his breeding sanctuary. The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust now operates conservation programmes worldwide, carrying on Durrell’s mission to save species from extinction.

Scoop-Wallah Life on a Delhi Daily Justine Hardy ISBN: 978 1 84024 724 4 £7.99 129×198mm 320pp Paperback February 2009 Rights: World

A chance conversation with her greengrocer about the media’s portrayal of India inspired journalist Justine Hardy to leave London and, following in the footsteps of Rudyard Kipling, spend a year working at The Indian Express in New Delhi. Her new life – with a quirky landlord who turns out to be a former Rajput prince – takes her all over India from polo matches and Assam tea gardens to city slums. Justine Hardy writes regularly for the Financial Times, Condé Nast Traveller, The Times and various magazines. Since the success of Scoop-Wallah she has written several books set in the region, and lives in London and New Delhi.

‘... funny, provocative’

On a global tour that takes him from India to Greece to Africa, David tries in vain to keep out of trouble; poaching in the Lake District, heli-skiing in Canada, taking on the pirates of Nigeria and disguising himself as a nurse in Durban.

‘… Baboulene is like a Bryson who has really played the field… ’ Borders ■ Movie deal with Bonsai Entertainment, LA.

Gritty and raucous, these true confessions of adventures on board a merchant ship – in the bad old days before regulations made everything ship-shape and orderly – are a riot from start to finish. A must-read for anyone who’s ever dreamt of running away to sea, Baboulene’s stories will make you weep with laughter. As well as completing his Deck Oﬃcer Cadetship in the British Merchant Navy, David Baboulene has been a welder, a radio DJ, a cabbie, an award-winning scriptwriter and a published songwriter; he also made a million in the IT boom in the nineties and lost it all again, goddammit. He performs a one-man show telling stories from the book.

■ Will appeal to fans of Don’t Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs by Paul Carter. ■ Nautical publications, clubs and societies will be intrigued to do a ‘then and now’ comparison. Also by this author: Ocean Boulevard ISBN: 978 1 84024 590 5

One Man and a Narrowboat Slowing Down Time on England’s Waterways Steve Haywood ISBN: 978 1 84024 736 7 £7.99 129×198mm 320pp Paperback April 2009 Rights: World

If I’d really been serious about getting to grips with my mid-life crisis, then I’d have been better opting for a course of therapy than going oﬀ travelling. Or if I had to travel, I’d have been better opting for somewhere warm with a beach… In an attempt to get to grips with a BIG birthday, Steve sets out from Oxford to explore what makes the English… well, so English. His quirky humour is inspired by Tom Rolt, who took to the canals on a similar journey immortalised in the book Narrow Boat, kick-starting the revival of Britain’s waterways. Prepare for a generous helping of mayhem, mishaps and the staple of every English summer: torrential rain. Steve Haywood is an award-winning TV producer and has worked on programmes such as Newsnight, Panorama and Rough Justice. Based in London, he is author of Narrowboat Dreams and writes a lively, provocative column for Canal Boat magazine.

■ First published as Fruit Flies Like a Banana, Steve Haywood’s journey in search of real English countryside is now revised and reprinted with new material to coincide with the 60-year anniversary of Tom Rolt’s own classic trip.

It was a 1972 Rally 200 in the same shade of orange as Donatella Versace with white, go-fast stripes down each side. It was bright and brash and made every other Vespa in the workshop look dull. Even sitting on its stand it had a swagger.

■ Peter has a huge following and keeps in touch with his fans through his website www.petermoore.net.

Best-selling writer and traveller Peter Moore decides to go on an adventure through Sicily, Sardinia and the Amalfi Coast as a last fling before the onset of fatherhood. Riding his bright orange Vespa, Marcello, through some of the world’s most stunning scenery, Peter meets a multitude of interesting characters and discovers a side of Italy that tourists rarely see. Eliciting free beers from barmen, swoons from young women and beeps and whistles from other drivers, Peter finds that this most Italian of machines draws him deep into the heart of this fascinating and fun-loving country. Peter Moore is the author of the best-selling No Shitting in the Toilet, The Wrong Way Home, The Full Montezuma, Swahili for the Broken-hearted and Vroom with a View. He has visited 98 countries on his travels. When not zipping around Italy on a Vespa, Peter can be found at home in London with his wife and daughter.

Take one headstrong dog and a feisty young woman, and send them oﬀ on a walk for the equivalent distance of London to Delhi. Tess the dog flirts outrageously with good-looking farmers and charms unsuspecting toddlers into parting with their ice creams as her apologetic owner follows. From sleepy fishing villages to urban streets, spotting avocets and flamingos along the way, Spud slows life down for a year and experiences the coastline of Britain with its eccentric mix of innovation and tradition as she walks an impressive 4,500 miles to raise money for charity.

Praise for Small Steps with Heavy Hooves: ‘inspirational’

WANDERLUST

■ Will appeal to walkers and those interested in the British coastline, and of course to dog lovers.

Two Feet, Four Paws is the heart-warming tale of one dog and her woman, who face the daily physical and mental challenges with a sense of humour and more determination with each mile. Spud Talbot-Ponsonby is also the author of Small Steps with Heavy Hooves. She lives on a farm near Kelso in the Scottish Borders.

Perfume from Provence Lady Fortescue ISBN: 978 1 84024 739 8 £7.99 129×198mm 320pp Paperback May 2009 Rights: World excluding USA

The original story of falling for France, Perfume from Provence was first published in 1935 and became a best-seller. Winifred Fortescue was an actress who rubbed shoulders with the likes of Jerome K. Jerome and George Bernard Shaw when she married Sir John Fortescue, the king’s librarian and archivist and famous historian of the British Army. Tempted by a better climate and the cheaper cost of living, they le England and found a stone house amid olive groves, high in the hills above Nice. Almost at once they were bewitched by the landscape and especially their garden – delightful terraces of vines, wild flowers, roses and lavender – and by the charming, warm-hearted and wily Provençals.

■ A perennial favourite, Perfume from Provence appeals to lovers of gardens and of the south of France, with over 100,000 copies of previous editions sold to date. ■ Summersdale will release the follow-up, Sunset House, in Spring 2010.

Winifred’s witty account of life with stonemasons, crasmen and gardeners as they extend the house is an enchanting read. Born in 1888, Winifred Fortescue gave up her career on the stage aer marriage and founded a successful fashion and interior design business. She later began writing articles for The Times and Punch, and inaugurated a woman’s page for The Morning Post. She wrote seven books, of which Perfume from Provence was the first.

‘charmingly informative and witty’

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY starred review

John Barlow, a self-confessed glutton, finds himself in a meat-lover’s dream in northern Spain. Galicia, the misty-green north-west corner, reveres and consumes every part of the pig. This starts Barlow thinking about the nature of our relationship with food – what’s delicious, what’s nasty and what sort of obligation we have to the animals we eat. Over the course of one glorious, bilious year, Barlow tries the patience of his vegetarian wife as he goes the whole hog and vows to eat everything but the squeal, from cocido in a cantina to a chorizo feast at Carnival, from ribs to roast ham, all washed down with local wine – delicious!

■ In the tradition of Calvin Trillin and Anthony Bourdain, Everything But the Squeal is an adventure in extreme eating, a hilariously quirky travel book, and a perceptive look at how what we eat makes us who we are. ■ Will appeal to anyone who lives or holidays in Spain, and cooks and food-lovers in general. Pork is the most popular meat on the planet!

John Barlow, a native of West Yorkshire, studied English literature at Cambridge and earned a Ph.D. in applied linguistics. He has taught at universities in England and Spain. In 2004 he published Eating Mammals: Three Novellas and in 2006, Intoxicated: A Novel of Money, Madness, and the Invention of the World’s Favourite So Drink. He lives in Spain.

Two childhood friends from small-town Wales meet in Miami for a summer road trip they’ve always dreamed of: to chase the swell of Hurricane Dean all the way up the US East Coast in search of once-in-a-lifetime surf. They embark on a hilarious journey of self-discovery and a travel experience like no other.

Praise for Riding the Magic Carpet:

Mixing the humour of Sideways with the extreme conditions of The Perfect Storm, this new book by one of the UK’s favourite new travel/surfing writers is a quirky travelogue destined to become a cult classic.

‘Of all the surf books available today, Riding the Magic Carpet is clearly head and shoulders above the rest – a fantastic read!’ Elliot Dudley, European Longboard Champion

Tom Anderson lives in Porthcawl, South Wales, is the author of acclaimed surfing travelogue Riding the Magic Carpet and was awarded a Welsh Arts Council Bursary for the journey that became Chasing Dean.

With passion and wit, Bernard Levin describes his travels on foot through the beautiful countryside of south-eastern France. He follows in the mighty footsteps of the great Carthaginian enemy of Rome, Hannibal, who made the expedition with an army and elephants nearly two millennia before.

‘His traveller’s tales make highly entertaining reading… the combination of substance of argument with lightness of touch is irresistible’ THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

From the Camargue via the Rhône Valley, across the Alps and into Italy during August snowstorms, he comments on the social and historical importance of the landscapes he passes through, taking detours to the table of chef Jacques Pic at Valence and the Arles region immortalised by Van Gogh. The journey would not have been complete without enjoying the hospitality of the Moussets – the fih generation of their family to produce wine at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, before turning eastwards, to face the greater challenge of the Alps.

■ Will appeal to walkers and lovers of France.

Bernard Levin (1928–2004), the ‘most famous journalist of his day’ (The Times), made this journey in the 1980s. He was awarded a CBE for services to journalism in 1990 and is the author of the best-selling titles Enthusiasms and Conducted Tours.

Over the Hill and Round the Bend Misadventures on a Bike in Wales

Richard Guise ISBN: 978 1 84024 743 5 £7.99 129×198mm 320pp Paperback June 2009

Rights: World I’d always felt that the real Wales was lying there waiting to be discovered, just oﬀ the main road, behind the tea rooms, down the track, up over the hill.

■ Will appeal to cyclists and anyone interested in learning more about the scenic wildernesses on our doorstep.

Wanting to explore Wales by bicycle, Richard Guise laid out his map on the kitchen table, identified its four compass points and, using string and jam jars, connected them in a way that he hoped would take him on a satisfyingly serendipitous tour. Astride Tetley, his trusty steed, he sets oﬀ on a 567-mile, 20-day trek that leads him through the Cambrian mountains, to picturesque Victorian towns and alongside the broad curve of Cardigan Bay, discovering seemingly secret cycling routes as he dips into valleys and down quiet lanes. With wry wit and enthusiasm he tells of his grapples with the weather and unwieldy place names, and weaves surprising nuggets of local history and lore into this tale of an intrepid English cyclist in Wales. Richard Guise is the author of From the Mull to the Cape. He is based in Quorn, Leicestershire, and spends part of the year in Girona, Spain.

Watch My Back is the story of one man’s search for courage. Depressed, bullied, intimidated by life and indoctrinated to believe that this was his lot, Geoff Thompson, on the verge of a breakdown, decided to fight back. In a bid to confront his fears, he took a job as a bouncer in one of Britain’s roughest nightclubs. Over the next ten years, he was involved in hundreds of brutal and bloody fights that le two of his friends murdered and many more in prison; he turned himself into a fearsome fighting machine. Geoff reached the top of his trade and became addicted to violence. Then it all changed. Aer nearly being killed in a gang attack, and almost killing one of his attackers, he was forced to reassess his relationship with violence. Aer writing down his experiences, Geoff discovered a flair for writing. This is the story of an ordinary man who faced his fears and took himself from bedsit to best-seller but very nearly got killed on the way. Geoff Thompson is now the author of over thirty books, a stage play and a BAFTA winning short film.

Praise for the Peter Kerr series: ‘Peter Kerr writes with a combination of nice observation and gentle humour’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

The Big Walks of Great Britain • 978 1 84024 566 0 • £9.99 From the South Downs Way to Offa’s Dyke, from the Thames Path to the Norfolk Coast Path, from Pembrokeshire to the West Highlands, there are big walks here to keep you rambling all year round. And what better way to discover the landscapes of Great Britain, from green and gentle dales to majestic mountains and rugged cliffs? This comprehensive guide to the best big walks offers detailed descriptions of the trails and a wealth of geographical, historical and practical information, including route maps and places of interest along the way. ‘A meaty, practical guide jam packed with walks that promise to keep you rambling all year round’ SUNDAY EXPRESS

Spain by the Horns • 978 1 84024 574 5 • £7.99 When Tim Elliott heard about Jesulin, a talented young Adonis dubbed ‘the Beckham of bullfighting’, he knew he had to meet him. Disillusioned with his current life and job, Tim went to Spain to find him. Criss-crossing a country synonymous with flamboyance, passion, spontaneity and adventure, Tim finds himself in a world of ancient ritual and eccentric characters, on a quixotic quest through a land where no one is ever on time but where every vibrant second oozes with the promise of heat and excitement.

By John Malathronas

Lost in the Jungle • 978 1 84024 672 8 • £7.99 This is a harrowing true story of adventure and survival. Four backpackers meet in Bolivia and set oﬀ into the rainforest on a dream expedition, lured by the promise of uncharted villages and forgotten tribes hidden in places tourists only dream of seeing. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime quickly becomes a struggle for survival when they get lost in the wilds of the Amazonian jungle. Told with gripping immediacy, it’s an extraordinary, terrifying tale that you won’t be able to put down. ‘Every so oen an inspirational tale pops up that is simply better or more frightening than anything Hollywood can create. Lost in the Jungle… is one of those’ SUNDAY EXPRESS

The Colossus of Maroussi • 978 1 84024 585 1 • £7.99 Miller’s exploration of Greece – Athens, the islands and the Pelleponese – was later described by him as the ‘high water mark in life’s adventures thus far’. In beautiful and passionate prose, he perfectly captures the splendour and magic of the country, concentrating not only on the landscape but also the people. ‘the only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past’ George Orwell

‘A witty and delightful read that slips under the skin of Spain... A must-read if ever there was one’ XPAT magazine
