From the author of Lily and the Octopus comes a moving and deeply funny novel about a once-famous sitcom star who is left to care for his niece and nephew after an unexpected family tragedy. Patrick, or Gay Uncle Patrick (GUP for short), has always loved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant.

'I get fed up with the number of cookbooks that promise quick and easy meals, those that promise a three-course dinner that can be knocked up in thirty minutes. Most cooking, and certainly most enjoyable cooking, takes a little longer. I can knock something up in a hurry if I have to – there are plenty of quick and easy recipes in this book – but that ability was a long time in the acquisition, and I still prefer to take my time, in order to do it better than I did it last time.' These recipes and essays, first published in the Financial Times, are a distillation of Rowley Leigh’s forty years as both a professional chef and a home cook. They detail with precision and wit how to cook and enjoy both unusual and familiar ingredients through the seasons. With Leigh’s succinct wine recommendations and over 120 recipes, this is a book to get messy with overuse in the kitchen and to pore over in an armchair with a glass of the author’s beloved Riesling close to hand.
The bearlike aliens of Fenrille had long been allies of the fiercely independent human clans. Together Men and Felin ruled the wooded highlands of the odd planet's single continent. And together they grew rich, for only the poeple of the highlands could harvest the drug that kept men forever young. Then the masters of a distant Earth sent a starfleet with a force of brutal Space Marines to seize the planet. But they weren't prepated for the colonists' stiff resistance- and no one had warned them of the aliens' very special defenses.
A sort-of novel that recounts the curious history of three characters all named Rowley: Vera, Walter and Mervyn; and of two locations: Rowley Hall and the Cornish town of St Ives. The human protagonists are three members of a family devoted to outlandish and bizarre experimentation, mostly upon themselves and each other. This is an undefinable book in which text and image are given equal weight. Lanyon has been bringing out the Rowley books in beautiful limited editions for the past 20 years. This is a selection from the first 13 of them.
