Madge Gill by Myrninerest
Myrninerest', a stunning new monograph on the visionary English outsider artist Madge Gill, is published in conjunction with an exhibition of her work at the William Morris Gallery in London. With selections from a seemingly endless body of work, it explores the natural creativity Gill possessed. She often attributed her inspiration for the thousands of intricate ink drawings and embroideries to her ethereal guide, after which this book is named. Gill was obsessed with spiritualism, and this unseen force gave her a new outlook and energy which shaped her work, guiding her hand and allowing her to find the strength and inspiration to take control over the many hardships in her life.
The Best of A. A. Gill
For over twenty years, people turned to A. A. Gill's columns every Sunday - for his fearlessness, his perception, and the laughter-and-tear-provoking one-liners - but mostly because he was the best. 'By miles the most brilliant journalist of our age', as Lynn Barber put it. This is the definitive collection of a voice that was silenced too early but that can still make us look at the world in new and surprising ways. In the words of Andrew Marr, A.. A.

The Stream of Everything
It's summer, and John Connell finds himself, like so many others, confined to his local area, the opportunity to freely travel and socialise cut short. His attention turns to the Camlin river – an ever-present source of life for his hometown's inhabitants and, for John, a site of boyhood adventure, first love, family history and local legend. He decides to canoe its course with a friend, a two-day trip requiring physical exertion and mental resilience. Despite the world growing still around them, the river teems with life – a symphony of buzzing mayfly and jumping trout. Meandering downstream, John muses on what's brought him here: his travels, his past relationships and his battle with ...
Pat Smullen
Cancer of the pancreas remains one of the most resolute forms of the pervasive illness, and Pat Smullen's struggle continues. This toughest of all setbacks brought an abrupt end to a brilliant career that yielded nine jockeys' championships, 12 European Classics, eight Royal Ascot winners and more than 1,900 winners worldwide. Donn McClean helps tell his story, how a farm labourer's son made it to the top of the Sport of Kings and how he has coped with the hammer blow that brought him and his family right back down to earth. Smullen's time in the saddle spanned 26 years, winning millions in prize-money. Out of the saddle he has raised millions for cancer charities. He has brought the racing world together, explemplifying the esteem in which he is justifiably held. He is an inspirational figure and Pat Smullen's autobiography will induce every emotion.
