Ring the Hill
'Always engaging, charming, funny and often moving . . . It made me want to pull on my stoutest boots and follow in his footsteps' Stephen Fry 'Beautiful, funny, fascinating, impossible-to-categorise . . . Like going on a great ramble with a knowledgeable, witty, engaging friend. Tom Cox brings magic to the most mundane of subjects' Marian Keyes 'Sheer bloody genius . . . I loved it. Then I loved it more' John Lewis-Stempel, author of Meadowland A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked ‘Quite A Lot Of Hills’ where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are. Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it inc...

21st-Century Yokel
Longlisted for the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize 21st-Century Yokel is not quite nature writing, not quite a family memoir, not quite a book about walking, not quite a collection of humorous essays, but a bit of all five. Thick with owls and badgers, oak trees and wood piles, scarecrows and ghosts, and Tom Cox's loud and excitable dad, this book is full of the folklore of several counties – the ancient kind and the everyday variety – as well as wild places, mystical spots and curious objects. Emerging from this focus on the detail are themes that are broader and bigger and more important than ever. Tom's writing treads a new path, one that has a lot in common with a rambling country walk; it's bewitched by fresh air and big skies, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless and prone to a few detours, but it always reaches its destination in the end.

Long Reach
When retired army colonel Tom Morgan returns to his hometown for his 45th high school class reunion, he is handed a long-misplaced letter from his former lover that intimates something bad may happen to her. She had died, in a somewhat suspicious circumstance, the same day she had written the letter. At the same time, taking place in the community was the kidnapping and ransom demand for a little girl, who later is discovered dead. Morgan embarks on his own investigation into the coincidence of the proximity of the two events and uncovers local corruption and cover-ups. The deeper involved he becomes, the more likely it is that Morgan will not be allowed to leave town alive. Harking back to his days as an Army Ranger, Morgan is forced into battle with superior numbered and heavily-armed opponents.

Villager
'A marvellously inventive and imaginative fiction. A tremendous novel' William Boyd 'A relatable and compelling read ... Anyone would love it' Dorian Cope 'Funny, thought-provoking and astoundingly clever ... What will I be able to read after Villager? I'll just read it again, I guess. And again. Just cancel all other books' Adele Nozedar, author of The Hedgerow Handbook 'One chapter unfolds as dialogue with a search engine; others are narrated by the moor itself. A rich potpourri that keeps us busy enough not to worry about what it adds up to’ Anthony Cummins, Mail on Sunday There’s so much to know. It will never end, I suspect, even when it does. So much in all these lives, so many sto...
