Japanese fairy tales - enchanting, enigmatic stories of animals, human beings and the great natural world. \n\nDark and innocent, sublime and whimsical, Miyazawa's stories have the ageless feel of the best fairy tales. There are animal allegories such as 'The Ungrateful Rat' where a rude rodent insults all the objects he meets - until he meets the Rat Trap. There are morality tales such as 'The Restaurant of Many Orders', where two hunters become the hunted. There are also transcendent stories of childhood and mortality like Miyazawa's best-known 'Night Train to the Stars', where a magical steam train carries children through the night and up to the heavens.\n\nThese stories reveal the unique brilliance of one of Japan's most beloved early twentieth-century writers.\n\nWITH A FOREWORD BY DAVID MITCHELL AND AN INTRODUCTION BY KAORI NAGAI\n\n'Kenji Miyazawa fables are international-class' David Mitchell\n\n'For readers who relish the disturbing material of fairy tale, the specificity and surprise of tanka, collisions of the everyday with the supernatural and glimpses of Japan right on the brink of industrialization, Kenji Miyazawa's masterly stories will be a delight' New York Times\n\n'Few works have given me so much pleasure (and hard work) as the tales of Miyazawa Kenji [...] more genuine originality, and a more universal appeal, than almost anything else I have done.'

A charming and witty history of the quirky - but widely-practiced craft of embroidering kneeler cushions\n\n'A treasure of a collection' Amber Butchart, of BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee\n\n'I think I may already have discovered the best non fiction book of 2023' Reverend Richard Coles, author of A Murder Before Evensong\n\nKneelers is a celebration of the most widely practised - but often overlooked - folk art in England and Wales over the past ninety years: the design and craft of church kneelers. Featuring charming stories and enchanting designs from churches across the country, the book traces the history of kneelers; from their spectacular beginnings at Winchester in the 1930s to their booming popularity after Queen Elizabeth II's coronation and the present-day congregations who are keeping the tradition alive.\n\nIn their range and diversity, the kneelers collected here form a fascinating social record of the concerns and interests that occupied their makers - including local fauna and flora, cricket, dragons, post-war tributes and the thrills of high-speed travel.\n\nFilled to the brim with beautiful full-colour images, Kneelers displays the quirky artistry and widely varied (and often surprising) motifs which have characterised church kneelers in the twentieth century. It rejoices in the personal stories of some of the people who have practised and advanced the art form, and is a wonderful commemoration of what happens when communities come together to celebrate their history and their environment.\n\n'A glorious and delightful salute' Tracy Chevalier, author of A Single Thread\n\n'This book is a Godsend!' Alan Titchmarsh, author of The Gardener's Almanac

Whisky - the water of life, perhaps Scotland's best known contribution to the world.\n\nMuse - goddess of creative endeavour.\n\nThe Whisky Muse - the spark of inspiration to many of Scotland's great poets and songwriters.\n\nBrought together by Robin Laing, a highly respected Scottish folk singer and songwriter, and based on his one-man show The Angel's Share, it combines two of his passions - folk song and whisky. Each poem and song is accompanied by fascinating additional information, and the book is full of interesting tit-bits on the process of whisky making. Reflected in these poems and songs are the pleasures (and medicinal benefits) of imbibing this most beloved of spirits as well as the unfortunate consequences of over-indulgence, the centuries of religious disapproval, the temperance movement and the exciseman. The stories told here are lubricated by warmth and companionshop, best enjoyed with dram in hand. Slainte.

Rob Young's Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music is a seminal book on British music and cultural heritage, that spans the visionary classical and folk tradition from the nineteenth-century to the present day. \n\n'A thoroughly enjoyable read and likely to remain the best-written overview for a long time.'\nGUARDIAN\n\n'A perfectly timed, perfectly pitched alternative history of English folk music . . . wide-ranging, insightful, authoritative, thoroughly entertaining.'\nNEW STATESMAN\n\n'A stunning achievement.'\nSIMON REYNOLDS\n\n'A masterpiece.' CAUGHT BY THE RIVER\n'Excellent . . . blissfully quotable.' NEW YORK TIMES\n'An authoritative account.' THE TIMES\n'Consistently absorbing.' INDEPENDENT\n'An impassioned and infectious rallying cry of a book.' SUNDAY TIMES\n\nIn this groundbreaking survey of more than a century of music making in the British Isles, Rob Young investigates how the idea of folk has been handed down and transformed by successive generations - song collectors, composers, Marxist revivalists, folk-rockers, psychedelic voyagers, free festival-goers, experimental pop stars and electronic innovators.\n\nIn a sweeping panorama of Albion's soundscape that takes in the pioneer spirit of Cecil Sharp; the pastoral classicism of Ralph Vaughan Williams and Peter Warlock; the industrial folk revival of Ewan MacColl and A. L. Lloyd; the folk-rock of Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Nick Drake, Shirley Collins, John Martyn and Pentangle; the bucolic psychedelia of The Incredible String Band, The Beatles and Pink Floyd; the acid folk of Comus, Forest, Mr Fox and Trees; The Wicker Man and occult folklore; the early Glastonbury and Stonehenge festivals; and the visionary pop of Kate Bush, Julian Cope and Talk Talk, Electric Eden maps out a native British musical voice that reflects the complex relationships between town and country, progress and nostalgia, radicalism and conservatism.\n\nAn attempt to isolate the 'Britishness' of British music - a wild combination of pagan echoes, spiritual quest, imaginative time-travel, pastoral innocence and electrified creativity - Electric Eden will be treasured by anyone interested in the tangled story of Britain's folk music and Arcadian dreams.\n\n'A treat.' TIME OUT\n'Young is a fine writer.' MOJO\n'Young's immense narrative is both educative and gripping.' UNCUT\n'A multitudinous, fascinating and beautifully written account.' TLS
