The Lonely Sea and the Sky Sir Francis Chichester ISBN: 978 1 84953 201 3 £9.99 129x198mm 432pp Paperback Black and white plate section, maps and line drawings January 2012 Rights and Sales Territories: World
Aged eighteen with a taste for adventure, Francis Chichester emigrated to New Zealand with ten pounds in his pocket. He tried his hand as a boxer, shepherd, lumberjack and gold prospector, before returning to England. Having qualified as a pilot, in 1929 he embarked on his most famous solo flight in the de Havilland Gipsy Moth from England to Australia. Shortly aerward, he would survive a near-death catastrophe in an attempt to fly solo around the world. Turning to sailing, he won the first single-handed transatlantic yacht race in Gipsy Moth III, despite having been diagnosed with cancer two years previously. In 1967, he became the first person to sail around the world solo from west to east via the great capes. The Lonely Sea and the Sky is his acclaimed autobiography; a tale of ardour and adventure, of intrepid endeavours on land, on the sea and in the air. The life and sheer temerity of his undertakings mark Sir Francis Chichester as a true old-fashioned adventurer.
‘I would find myself engrossed in his book; he was one of my greatest inspirations and motivations to get involved in the world of solo sailing’ Dame Ellen MacArthur ■ One of the original great adventures, told in a way that makes you feel the wind and seaspray on your skin as you read. ■ 2012 sees the 45th anniversary of Sir Francis Chichester’s solo voyage around the world from west to east (28 May 1967), and also the 40th anniversary of his death (26 August 1972). Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: profile of Sir Francis Chichester, nostalgia features on great achievements in the late 1960s. Black and white photos available.

They looked aer us, rode with us, worked with us, filled us with drink, took us to church on Sunday and to the cleaners at the poker table. The scenery was phenomenal, but it is the folks I’ll remember – and riding Death Valley with an engine air-cooled by wind 35 degrees hotter than my blood.
‘There is only one way to see America and its people; and that is astride a motorcycle… Listening to Cunliffe… you’ll understand why’ METRO
Tom had been itching to ride a Harley-Davidson across America for years; now it was the High Plains or bust. The ride of a lifetime, with Tom on a So-tail and his wife Roz on a yellow 883 Sportster, soon transforms into a pilgrimage in search of the American people of the mountainsides, the swamps and the prairie dust. With flashbacks to the sixties, the eclectic assortment of moonshiners, strippers, biblebashers, war veterans and the occasional alligator delivers an easy-riding peepshow into America from between the handlebars of a Harley.
'Deserves to battle for bookshelf space with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' SUNDAY EXPRESS
Tom Cunliffe has been a writer since 1986, and is the author of the best-selling The Complete Yachtmaster, as well as two 'Best Book of the Sea' award winners: Topsail and Battleaxe and Hand, Reef and Steer.

‘One more wouldn’t hurt,’ said Mick. I looked at him doubtfully. ‘I’m not sure. It’s gone three o’clock already. What time does it get dark in Cornwall at this time of year?’ I was having serious doubts about our ability to cycle a thousand miles if we had managed to get waylaid so easily aer only sixteen. How many less-than-sensible ideas have been cooked up in the pub aer one too many beers? This one was no exception. Mick and Ellie had fallen into the habit of going for walks and bike rides together and had shared the occasional holiday. Whether their friendship would survive cycling ‘end-to-end’ from Land’s End to John o’Groats remained to be seen. They opt for the scenic route which takes them along cycle paths, towpaths and the back roads and byways of Britain, unable to resist sampling local beers in the pubs they pass along the way. But as the pints start to stack up faster than the miles they’re putting under their tyres, Ellie wonders if they’ll ever make it to the finishing line… Ellie Bennett is based in Bristol. This is her first book.
■ The first humorous travelogue of the iconic ‘End-to-End’ bicycle route, attempted by thousands every year. ■ Includes little-known and quirky facts and stories about the places along the way for all types of staycationers, and a pub and beer index. ■ Taps into the explosion of interest in leisure cycling in Britain. Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: midlife challenges – why we feel the need to tackle ‘something big’; cycling for mental and physical health; glorious cycle routes throughout the UK plus recommended ‘watering holes’; the lesser-known byways and cycle routes of rural Britain. Photos available. The author is available for interview.

River Arun
I personally get a flavour of the Norfolk Broads of my boyhood haunts with this lovely walk of 6.5 km (4 miles) along the Arun banks.
12 River Arun
Park in Arundel near the old road bridge (TQ020070). Pay-and-display car parks are either side of the bridge, or park for free (if you can find an empty space) on the roadside east of the castle. A footpath runs along the south and east bank of the Arun, starting on the south side of the bridge. Walk b etween houses and onto a slightly muddy bank top, where you immediately smell the salt tide that makes the Arun the sixth fastest flowing river in England. Follow this path around two enormous meanders for the next 4 km. This gives you the b est view of the castle, with the cathedral to the left and the river in front. It is one of the most splendid of all English views. On the other side the steep woo ded hill called Offham Hanger
comes into view. In front of this is the famous Arundel Wetland Centre , which gives rise to many birds, such as herons, mallards, moorhens and reed warblers. Straight ahead as you walk close to the railway line is Camp Hill on the downland fields.

The water meadows have b oth soft and hard rush clumps; there ought to b e snipe breeding here. Observe orange of osiers, green of willow and grey of sallows around the Wetland Centre.
■ Richard Williamson has a strong local following in Sussex and is also a prolific speaker. ■ Includes hand-drawn maps. ■ Chichester Observer (circulation of over 33,000) and other newspapers and magazines in the group will run advance and ongoing promotion, running stories on the making of the book and giving readers an opportunity to pre-order and have their name included in the back.

Arriving opposite the Black Rabbit pub looking very picturesque and inviting makes you glad you brought your lunch, because you can’t get over the river unless you swim. Note the wreck of old boat – ‘How did that get there?’ you may ask yourself. The railway has to be crossed ahead, so remember the trains are very fast and quiet. Once safely across, continue for 250 m then turn right sharply along the raised causeway with a nice curved blackthorn hedge on your left, in which you might spot long-tailed tits. Head for Lombardy poplars just left of the castle in the distance to find a stile which leads you onto a very pleasant hedge track back to the white house. There are lots of wrens, robins, marsh tits and dunno cks here. Turn right at Crossing Cottage to cross the line again. Then, left back along the same riverbank towards your starting point.

The Hairy Hikers A Coast-to-Coast Trek Along the French Pyrenees David Le Vay ISBN: 978 1 84953 237 2 £8.99 129x198mm 320pp Paperback April 2012 Rights and Sales Territories: World
With a glint in his eye, Rob turns and asks me if I want to ‘touch his furry puma’. I begin to feel a little concerned about the days and weeks ahead; we are only hours into the trip and things have already taken a sinister turn. Thankfully it turns out he is referring to the little embossed logo on his new shirt. Fuelled by a degree of midlife crisis and the need to escape from routine, armed with rusty schoolboy French and plenty of schoolboy humour, David and Rob set out to walk the fabled GR10 hiking trail. It will take them from the Hendaye on the Atlantic coast to Banyuls sur Mer on the Mediterranean, through beautiful scenery and one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in Europe. Just about perfect – if you can put aside the inevitable snoring-induced conflict and bad habits that result from two men spending over seven weeks in each other’s company. This humorous, reflective and oen poignant account of two increasingly hairy hikers’ trek along the entire length of the French Pyrenees will appeal to all who enjoy a good story of human endeavour and foolishness. David Le Vay lives in southwest London. He is a child therapist and a senior lecturer at Roehampton University, a jazz pianist and a keen cricket player.
■ Ideal for anyone who has walked the GR10 themselves or who is considering a longdistance walk; this kind of adventure is possible for anyone. ■ Tales of men and women taking on a challenging journey in middle age are enduringly popular. ■ Will appeal to a similar audience as Tony Hawks’ A Piano in the Pyrenees and the TV series Three Men in a Boat. Media opportunities : Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles : two midlife men facing a challenge together; preparations for a longdistance walk; discovering off-the-beatentrack areas of France ; male friendships and silliness. Photos available.

A Horse in the Bathroom How an Old Stable Became Our Dream Village Home Derek J. Taylor ISBN: 978 1 84953 240 2 £8.99 129x198mm 320pp Paperback May 2012 Rights and Sales Territories: World
Maggie wants a house with lots of light. I need one with character. And what we do have in common doesn’t help either – we’re both stubborn.
■ Will appeal to the 4.4 million weekly audience for Channel 4’s Grand Designs, and also to viewers of BBC One’s Village SOS and readers of Up with the Larks.
When Derek and his partner Maggie decide to escape to the country, they don’t opt for the simple life. Instead they set about converting an old Cotswold stables in Stow-on-the-Wold into their dream home. Over the next two years, they wage guerrilla war on the Planning Office, are cursed by everything from collapsing walls to poison gas, run out of money, and meet some very strange characters – till in its final stages of construction, the place unaccountably floods.
■ There are lots of ‘how to’ books on converting an old property into a home, and many humorous narrative accounts of converting an old property in France, Spain or Italy, but this is one of the first about doing it in Britain.
Haunted by the words of a friend who accused him of suffering from Lark Rise to Candleford syndrome, Derek takes a quirky look at what makes villages tick in the twenty-first century, as The Old Stables gradually comes back to life.
Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: village life in the twenty-first century; renovating properties; escaping to the country; relationship stresses during major building works. Photos available. The author is available for interview.
Derek J. Taylor grew up in Nottinghamshire and now lives in Stow-on-the-Wold. His work as a TV news journalist has taken him through many countries and five wars, and he has held senior positions at Associated Press Television News, ITN and BBC Worldwide.

Ten Trees and a Truffle Dog Sniffing Out the Perfect Plot in Provence Jamie Ivey ISBN: 978 1 84953 238 9 £8.99 129x198mm 320pp Paperback May 2012 Rights and Sales Territories: World
There is a moment every morning when the countryside takes a pause. The birds stop singing, the dogs choke back their barks, and cats pause mid-stride. Everything waits. It’s in this vacuum that a man working alone has the best chance of finding truffles. The plot of land was perfect, just what they’d been looking for, offering expansive views across the valley and within walking distance of the local village. There was only one small problem – there was no house. And yet the land was affordable and came, the agent promised, with a possible income from a copse of truffle oaks. Just aer the birth of their first daughter, aer leaving the London rat race behind, here was a chance for Jamie and his wife to finally realise their dream of owning a property. With one final salivating glance at the oak trees the decision was made. All they needed now was a dog. And their quest to find and train a truffle dog turns out to be as full of hidden discoveries as a truffle hunt itself. With delicious humour and superb storytelling, Ten Trees and a Truffle Dog is sure to delight anyone who loves dogs, food and rural France. Jamie Ivey has written three books about the south of France: Extremely Pale Rosé, La Vie en Rosé and Rosé en Marché, published by Phoenix (Hachette). He lives near the village of Lourmarin in the Luberon with his wife and daughter.
■ Ten Trees and a Truffle Dog is aimed at all people who like life-abroad stories, with plenty of truffle detail for the gastronomic enthusiast. ■ The house rental company Pure France will be giving the book additional publicity. ■ The New York Times described Extremely Pale Rosé as ‘Great fun to read.’ Scotland on Sunday called it ‘light, bright and pleasurable’. The Daily Mail commented that Jamie was ‘a younger Peter Mayle with a similar turn of phrase’. Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: truffles – their history and uses in cooking; training dogs; building a house and/ or establishing a business in France; integrating into a rural community in France.

‘Delicious.’ I licked my lips. The wine filled me with joy. A picture of a vineyard drenched in sunlight formed in my mind. Sean drew me rudely back to the lounge of our semi-d. 'How can they be in liquidation if they make wine this good?’ When Caro and Sean find the perfect ten-hectare vineyard in Saussignac, it seems their dreams of becoming wine-makers in the south of France are about to come true. But they arrive in France with their young family (a toddler and a newborn) to be faced with a dilapidated eighteenth-century farmhouse and an enterprise that may never, ever make them a living. Undeterred by mouse infestations, a leaking roof, treacherous hordes of insects, visits from the local farm ‘police’ and a nasty accident with an agricultural trimmer, Caro and Sean set about transforming their ‘beyond eccentric’ winery into a successful business as they embark on the biggest adventure of their lives – learning to make wine from the roots up.
■ Stunning, evocative descriptions of the winemaking process and the final product – will make you want to go out and buy your own vineyard! ■ Will appeal to Francophiles, wine lovers and anyone who has ever dreamed of moving abroad. Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: moving abroad with a young family; house renovation with a language difference; setting up and learning a new business; giving up the day job to ‘live the dream’. Photos available.

We sat and stared balefully at the walnut buffet. A rich customer had complained it was ‘making strange noises in the night.’ It was around midnight and we strained our ears to hear, hardly daring to breathe. And there it was – a kind of crunch, crunch, crunching sound. John’s life as a travelling brocanteur (antiques dealer) in rural France is decidedly less colourful aer his unscrupulous yet affable partner in crime, Serge Bastarde, marries and decamps to Martinique. But, like a bad penny, Serge returns, his personal life in tatters. What follows is a madcap adventure which sees John being coerced into striking deals with the Romanian ‘mafia’, re-roofing a huge Basque house and getting trapped in a skip in the dead of night, while Serge rides an emotional roller coaster. Serge may be as faux as some of his antiques but, with John’s help, he eventually strikes gold in this laugh-out-loud romp. John Dummer is the founder member of the John Dummer Blues Band. He lives in the Gascony region of France with his wife, Helen.
■ This is the sequel to Serge Bastarde Ate My Baguette, ISBN: 9781840247701.
■ Describes the gritty reality of life in rural France, rather than the romanticised version – and is all the funnier for it! Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: working and living in France; integrating into rural communities; antiques dealers – are they all rogues? Photos available.

My Life as a Hooker When a Middle-Aged Bloke Discovered Rugby Steven Gauge ISBN: 978 1 84953 211 2 £8.99 129x198mm 256pp Paperback February 2012 Rights and Sales Territories: World
In my late thirties, it gradually dawned on me that I had become Jason’s regular hooker. It was an arrangement that worked well for a couple of reasons. He didn’t need me to dress up in anything particularly risqué or to do anything too vulgar, other than cuddle in the middle of a field with him and fourteen other men on a Saturday aernoon. Steven Gauge’s response to an impending midlife crisis didn’t involve piercings, tattoos or leather trousers – instead, he decided to take up rugby, and made a number of important discoveries. First, that in this ultimate contact sport, class divisions melt away in the presence of rugby’s own eternal divide: the Forwards and the Backs. Secondly, though biting is generally frowned upon, it does occasionally take place and can be discouraged by applying Deep Heat to the ears. And finally, turning up on time with your kit is far more important than knowing what to do with the ball if it ever reaches you. By the end of his first few seasons, Steven had cracked his nose and various other parts of his anatomy – but he had cracked the game too, and found a place in the club as Captain of the Fourths.
■ A devastatingly funny and honest account that’s sure to appeal to anyone who’s ever picked up the ball and run with it! ■ Fever Pitch and Fatty Batter meet The Art of Coarse Rugby: Steven Gauge joins Nick Hornby and Michael Simkins in sport’s Hall of Comedy. Media opportunities: Humorous extracts/ serialisation. Feature angles: tales from inside a local rugby club; the value of weekend amateur sports; strategies for coping with the male midlife crisis; taking up sport late in life. Local interest: Warlingham (near Croydon) on the Surrey/Kent border. Photos available. The author is available for interview.
Steven Gauge was introduced to rugby at school, where the coaching staff quickly recognised his ability and relegated him to the squad known as 'Extra Quam'. He's now a proud member of Warlingham Rugby Club in Surrey.

Misty was ecstatic to see her owner but to the nurse’s surprise her owner just stood there and said, ‘What have you done with my dog’s head?’ ‘I’m sorry,’ replied the nurse, ‘what do you mean? She’s just been in for spaying.’ ‘That isn’t my dog’s head. The rest of it is my dog but you’ve put a different head on it.’
■ Emma is known around the world to fans of Vets in Practice, who will remember the mishaps and joys she experienced on camera.

We discover the numerous things that can get stuck in an animal’s stomach, how to stop a cow exploding, and – the biggest truth of all – that animals are easy to deal with in comparison to their owners.

I
haven’t tasted chocolate for over ten years and now I’m walking down the street unwrapping a Kit-Kat. It tastes amazing. Remember when Kate Moss said: ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’? She’s wrong: chocolate does. When I think of the wasted years, the evenings spent alone, the friends lost, all those shared meals I’ve avoided… it strikes me as incredibly sad. I’ll never get those years back. Anorexia is a young person’s game and I don’t have the energy to play any more.
A true story of falling in love and overcoming anorexia At the age of 32, aer ten years of hiding from the truth, Emma Woolf finally decided it was time to face the biggest challenge of her life. Addicted to hunger, exercise and control, she was juggling a full-blown eating disorder with a successful career, functioning on an apple a day. Having met the man of her dreams (and wanting a future and a baby together), she embarked on the hardest struggle of all: to beat anorexia. It was time to start eating again, to regain her fertility and her curves, to throw out the size-zero clothes and face her food fears. And as if that wasn’t enough pressure, Emma also took the decision to write about her progress in a weekly column for The Times. Honest, hard-hitting and yet romantic, An Apple a Day is a manifesto for the modern generation to stop starving and start living; a compelling and lifeaffirming true story of love and recovery. Emma Woolf is the great-niece of Virginia Woolf. She studied at Oxford University and worked in publishing before becoming a freelance journalist and writer, contributing to The Independent, Harper's Bazaar, The Times and The Mail on Sunday. She lives in London. Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation. Feature angles: an insider’s account of life with an eating disorder and the long road to recovery; advice for the parents and family of a person with an eating disorder; why do eating disorders mainly affect girls and women? The author is available for interview.
'Frank and compelling... made me understand anorexia in a way I never have before.' Women's Hour, BBC Radio 4
READER FEEDBACK:
This is like reading my life on a page. The Oxford exams I struggled through, the social meals lost, the addiction to starvation persevering all the while... you’re right to say that every day spent this way is a waste. I’ll eat if you can.
I am currently going through the recovery process as well after being ill for 6 years and even though it’s scary I know it’ll be worth it. It was really inspiring to read your article – it gives me strength as you are someone I can relate to.
Thank you Emma, your courage and strength inspires me.
Your column is a lifesaver for sufferers and carers alike.

From Jane Austen to Rudyard Kipling, this charming collection covers every aspect of horticulture, from the simple satisfaction of harvesting produce to admiring the humble daisy.
On Pruning Proud of his well-spread walls, he views his trees That meet (no barren interval between) With pleasure more than ev’n their fruits afford, Which, save himself who trains them, none can feel: These, therefore, are his own peculiar charge; No meaner hand may disciple the shoots, None but his steel approach them. What is weak, Distemper’d, or has lost prolific pow’rs, Impair’d by age, his unrelenting hand Dooms to the knife: nor does he spare the soft And succulent, that feeds its giant growth,

from Hortulus Though a life of retreat offers various joys, None, I think, will compare with the time one employs In the study of herbs, or in striving to gain Some practical knowledge of nature’s domain. Get a garden! What kind you may get matters not.
But barren, at th’ expence of neighb’ring twigs Less ostentatious, and yet studded thick With hopeful gems. The rest, no portion left That may disgrace his art, or disappoint Large expectation, he disposes neat At measur’d distances, that air and sun, Admitted freely, may afford their aid, And ventilate and warm the swelling buds. Hence summer has her riches, autumn hence, And hence ev’n winter fills his wither’d hand With blushing fruits, and plenty, not his own.
Abbot Walafrid Strabo
While such honey-dew fell, such silence reigned, such gloaming gathered, I felt as if I could haunt such shade for ever: but in threading the flower and fruit-parterres at the upper part of the inclosure, enticed there by the light the nowrisen moon casts on this more open quarter, my step is stayed – not by sound, not by sight, but once more by a warning fragrance. Sweet briar and southernwood, jasmine, pink, and rose, have long been yielding their evening sacrifice of incense: this new scent is neither of shrub nor flower; it is – I know it well – it is Mr Rochester’s cigar.

May
May 1 This morning I was told how the people of Deal have set up two or three Maypoles, and have hung up their flags upon the top of them, and do resolve to be very merry to-day. It being a very pleasant day, I wished myself in Hide Park. Samuel Pepys (1660)
O
thou with dewy locks, who lookest down Through the clear windows of the morning, turn Thine angel eyes upon our western isle, Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!
May 2 The Hanger out in full leaf; but much banged about by the Continual strong East-wind that has blown for many days. The buds, & blossoms of all trees much injured by the wind. The ground parch’d, & bound very hard. The cold air keeps the nightingales very silent. No vegetation seems to stir at present.
The hills tell one another, and the listening Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turn’d Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth And let thy holy feet visit our clime!
Gilbert White (1759)
Come o’er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumèd garments; let us taste Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls Upon our lovesick land that mourns for thee.
May 3 Cold. Morning raw and wet, afternoon fine. … Cowslips capriciously colouring meadows in creamy drifts. Bluebells, purple orchis.
O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put Thy golden crown upon her languish’d head, Whose modest tresses are bound up for thee.
Gerald Manley Hopkins (1866)

Welcome to our new season Summersdale continues to blaze a trail in gi books, ranging from classic poems to Keep Calm quotations for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, as well as Let’s Not Age, Let’s Just Marinate to follow on from the success of the Older, Wiser, Sexier books which have sold 95,000 copies to date. And to tie in to the bicentenary of Charles Dickens, What Would Dickens Do? and Quotable Dickens. My Life as a Hooker, a celebration of amateur rugby as played by men of all shapes and sizes, and Phil Hewitt’s Keep On Running, a personal story addressing the topic of why we love marathons, will entertain all sport lovers. TV vet Emma Milne provides plenty of animal magic with Tales from the Tail End, and a selection of gardening gi books includes The Gardener’s Calendar from well-known expert Pippa Greenwood. New dads will be delighted with a new approach to parenting from Commando Dad Neil Sinclair, with advice on everything from Basic Training to Entertaining the Troops. For cyclists, we have Mud, Sweat and Gears and for walkers, The Hairy Hikers and Walking the County High Points of England, while anyone contemplating a life in the country will enjoy A Horse in the Bathroom. Francophiles will savour three great new reads: Ten Trees and a Truffle Dog, Son of Serge Bastarde and The Grape Escape. And finally, in An Apple a Day, Emma Woolf tells a heart-wrenching tale of love and recovery from anorexia. With a huge following for her Times column and widespread media interest already, this one is bound to get lots of attention. Many thanks to all the writers and artists, the press and the trade and everyone else who helps make Summersdale’s books very special. The Summersdale Team Feedback: enquiries@summersdale.com.
