Charlie Mackesy's beloved The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse has been adapted into an animated short film, coming to BBC One and iPlayer this Christmas.

This beautifully made hardback celebrates the work of over 100 animators across two years of production - with Charlie's distinctive illustrations brought to life in full colour with hand-drawn traditional animation and accompanying hand-written script.

An essential companion to the inspirational classic The Alchemist, filled with timeless stories of reflection and rediscovery.

From one of the greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho’s daily column of the same name, Maktub, meaning “it is written,” invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, ‘Maktub is not a book of advice—but an exchange of experiences.’

Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, ‘a man who seeks only the light, while shirking his responsibilities, will never find illumination. And one who keep his eyes fixed upon the sun . . . ends up blind.’ In these wise tales akin to Zen koans and other mysteries of the universe, there are talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints.

Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author and illustrated with black-and-white line art throughout, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.

We hope with all our heart. We dream. We love, often deeply. We experience some gains and some losses. Each of these moments leave an imprint on the rich tapestry of our souls. Sometimes the only way to share the awesomeness is by whispering a few words on the wind.

Memoirs For Kimya is a collection of whispers and a tribute to the many people we meet along life's journey.

The popular spiritual teacher and author of the internationally bestselling Peace Is Possible shows us how to quiet the noise of our busy lives to hear our own unique authentic voice—the source of inner peace.

The cacophony of modern life can be deafening, leaving us feeling frazzled and uneasy. In this warm, wise book, Prem Rawat teaches us how to turn down the noise to “hear ourselves”—to listen to the subtle song of peace that sings inside each of us. Once we learn to truly “hear ourselves” and the voice of peace within, then we can hold that within us as we face all the noise of the world.

The culmination of a lifetime of study, Hear Yourself lays out the crucial steps we can use to focus on the voice within. Take a walk in nature and listen for the sounds of harmony, Prem Rawat suggests, or set aside a few minutes each day to feel gratitude, which comes from the core of our being. He challenges us to embrace our thirst for inner peace and let go of expectations for how it should feel. With one straightforward yet deeply profound question, he helps us to focus—to be present: Am I conscious of where I am today and what I want to experience in this world?”

If we allow ourselves to listen, what we hear is the extraordinary miracle of existence—an experience that transforms our relationship to life and everything in it. Packed with powerful insights and compelling stories, Hear Yourself introduces readers to an ancient line of practical wisdom that enlightens us to a simple way to listen. By doing so, Prem Rawat reveals, we can “profoundly change our understanding of ourselves, those around us, and our lives.”

Wilderness guide Sicelo Mbatha shares lessons learnt from a lifetime’s intimate association with Africa’s wildest nature.

Black Lion begins in rural South Africa where a deeply traumatic childhood experience – he witnessed his cousin being dragged away by a crocodile – should have turned Sicelo against the surrounding wilderness. Instead, he was irresistibly drawn to it. As a volunteer at Imfolozi Nature Reserve, close encounters with buffalo, lion, elephant and other animals taught him to ‘see’ with his heart and thus began a spiritual awakening.

Drawing from his Zulu culture and his own yearning to better understand human’s relationship to nature, Sicelo has forged a new path, disrupting the conventional approach to nature with an immersive, respectful and transformative way of being in the wilderness. Both memoir and philosophical reflection, Black Lion - co-written with environmentalist Bridget Pitt - is his brilliant and profound account of life as a wilderness spiritual guide.

As humanity hurtles into the anthropogenic 21st century, Black Lion is an urgent reminder of just how much we need wilderness for our emotional and spiritual survival.

‘Amphibious Soul is an important book that will transform how we think about being human . . . It is a book that will inspire hope.’ - Jane Goodall

A decade ago, natural-history filmmaker Craig Foster was living in a big city and felt exhausted, empty and disconnected from nature. To rejuvenate his senses, he decided to return to his birthplace – Cape Town – and dive into the great African Sea Forest each day. These adventures not only energised and grounded him, but enabled him to reclaim the wildness that, he argues, is inside all of us.

In this compelling memoir by the creator of My Octopus Teacher, the author recounts a life spent exploring the most incredible places on Earth, drawing on decades of daily ocean dives and wisdom from indigenous teachers and scientists. But he also describes his personal struggles to remain present to life, especially when catastrophe strikes close to home. He finally reveals how nature’s beauty can deepen our love for all living things, whether we live close to nature or in the city.
Amphibious Soul is a lyrical testament to the spiritual power of the natural world.

Vir baie uitdagings en vraagstukke van die moderne lewe kon die skrywer nie al die antwoorde in die Bybel kry nie. Sy besef dat die wereld waarin ons vandag leef, radikaal anders is as die wereld van ons oumagrootjies. Tong-in-die-kies vertrek sy op 'n spirituele reis wat by die Oerknal begin. Sy beleef die vorming van die aarde, die begin van lewe, evolusie, die ontstaan van Homo sapiens, en die ontstaan van die spirituele bewussyn van die mens. Op pad kom sy Zoroaster, die Boeddha, Jesus, Mohammed en Einstein tee. Haar reis na die dieper betekenis van die lewe is uiteindelik 'n intellektuele geskiedenis van die mensdom wat eindig by globalisering, relatiwiteitsteorie en kosmologie. Sy kom tot die ontdekking dat die simboliek van die Christendom behou moet word maar dat nuwe betekenis daaraan gegee moet word; en dat dit gedoen kan word deur onsself te leer ken.

Following on from How to Manifest, The Celestial Handbook and The Power of Ancient Wellness, this beautifully illustrated guide shows readers how to harness the power of numerology to interpret the hidden messages from the universe.

In a world full of uncertainty, you can always count on numbers. Sacred numerological sequences, otherwise known as numerology, are a way of interpreting the hidden messages behind numbers. Be it angel numbers, soul numbers, or life path numbers, assigning mystical meaning to specific numbers and the practice of using numbers to align with the divine dates as far back as the 8th century BC. You only have to take a leaf from the book of Nature to see how our seemingly spontaneous and chaotic universe has and continues to form using a very precise and orderly mathematical system.

In this beautifully illustrated book, well-known astrologer and life coach Carolyne Faulkner reveals the order behind the main methods in numerology and condenses them to show you how to fast track the art and trust your own intuition to help you chart your life path and read the messages from the universe.
