The Edge of the Land
These photographs reveal not only the seaside resorts and clifftop walks we all know, in a new light, they also depict the more dramatic and remote stretches of coast that are relatively inaccessible. The pictures are more than studies of empty landscape for they reveal man's essential and natural affinity with the land, and nowhere is this more poignantly apparent in a seafaring nation, than at the interface between rock and water, terra firma and the tidal ocean.
Remains of Elmet
Poems written by Ted Hughes in response to Fay Godwin's photographs of the part of Yorkshire in which he grew up.
Elmet
Fay Godwin is commonly regarded as this country's finest landscape photographer. Ted Hughes, who was born and brought up in the part of the world she has captured in these atmospheric studies, was inspired by them to provide a verse text, one of the most personal things he has written.
Landmarks
A collection of some of the great British architectural triumphs, inspiring monuments and geographical features; from Stonehenge to the Angel of the North.
Thief Girl
Ivy Harris is twice unwanted by the time she's two years old. Thrown away both by her parents and her grandmother, she has no choice except to live with her aunt, Bertha. As brilliant, kind, and loving as Bertha is, she's also a crook and a thief-and her ways get them both into trouble more often than not. When Bertha dies, Ivy's whole world ends-until she meets charismatic, compassionate, golden-haired George, the leader of a gang of street children living in an abandoned warehouse. Despite the best efforts of jealous Jane, Ivy falls for George. Even when they're separated by Jane's antics and Ivy becomes a kitchen maid in a fancy house, she never forgets him. When George is wounded and dying from infection, it's Ivy who saves him. But saving him costs Ivy her job-and almost her life. She's wandering the streets now, alone and scared, and her life is in terrible danger. Can George save her? And is there some connection between him and Joseph Shaw, the rich man whose hair also shines like spun gold?
The Human Landscape
This is a book of fine-art black and white landscape photographs, related to a travelling exhibition seen by hundreds of people at art galleries across the UK during 2001 and 2002. These photographs look at human elements in the rural landscape, both ancient and modern, including standing stones and ruined churches, tracks and lanes, quarries, huts and signs, all showing the weathering effects of time. The images are in turn haunting, contemplative, satirical and uplifting.
