When you think of London, what do you picture? Westminster Abbey?
The electric lights of Piccadilly Circus? The grandeur of
Buckingham Palace? Or do you see busy shopping areas, beautiful
bridges and buzzing bars and restaurants? Or is it the parks, the
boats on the River Thames and the bustling train stations that
spring to mind? With London there are just so many intriguing sides
to the city. In 200 outstanding images, London celebrates this
remarkable capital city, from its world-famous landmarks to cobbled
alleyways, from the dizzy heights of The Shard and The Gherkin down
to its railway stations and deeper still to the city's jam-packed
underground. Ranging from both classic and modern landmarks, this
book covers everything from parks to transportation. From tennis at
Wimbledon to shopping at Harrods and afternoon tea at Claridge's,
Alastair Horne explores a plethora of aspects to this sprawling
metropolis. Presented in a handy pocket-sized landscape format and
with captions revealing many fascinating but little-known facts
about the history and culture of this diverse city, London is a
stunning collection of images of one of the world's most iconic
cities.

Sacred wells have played an important part in the culture and
landscape of Cornwall for several millennia, and continue to do so.
Holy Wells: Cornwall is a collection of beautiful colour
photographs of forty-five of the most important and pre-eminent
wells in the county, accompanied by an informative text about the
history and legends associated with them, and a number of poems
celebrating them by Robert Southey, Arthur Quller Couch and others.
Like Wales and Ireland, Cornwall was an influential centre for the
Celtic church and pagan places of worship were taken over by
Christianity. Many Celtic saints - St Piran, St Euny, St Nonna, St
David, St Mary, St Cuby, St Anne, St Sampson - are referenced in
the names of churches and wells which stand in towns and villages,
alone on moorland next to stone circles and iron age settlements,
hidden in valleys and even in sea caves. Phil Cope takes the reader
on a journey of discovery through densely wooded terrain, past bare
tors, into ancient churches and along almost forgotten road and
tracks, to lead us to special places of wonder and enrichment. Holy
Wells: Cornwall includes over 256 photographs, together with a map,
bibliography and index.

Lose yourself in this glorious memoir of the island jewel of Corfu
by the king of travel writing and real-life family member of The
Durrells in Corfu. 'In its gem-like miniature quality, among the
best books ever written.' New York Times In his youth, before he
became a celebrated writer and poet, Lawrence Durrell spent four
transformative years on the island jewel of Corfu, fascinated by
the idyllic natural beauty and blood-stained ancient history within
its rocky shores. While his brother Gerald collected animals as a
budding naturalist - later fictionalised in My Family and Other
Animals and filmed as The Durrells in Corfu - Lawrence fished,
drank and befriended the local villagers. After World War II
catapulted him back into a turmoiled world, Durrell never forgot
the wonders of Corfu. Prospero's Cell is his magical evocation of
the blazing Aegean landscape, brimming with memories of the places
and people that changed him forever. 'Cannot be bettered ... A
classic ... His words still evoke the magical qualities of the
island.' Telegraph 'Some writers reinvent their language; others
the world. Durrell did both.' Andre Aciman 'Invades the reader's
every sense ... Remarkable.' Victoria Hislop 'These days I am
admiring and re-admiring Lawrence Durrell.' Elif Shafak 'Our last
great garlicky master of the vanishing Mediterranean.' Richard
Holmes 'Corfu could not have found a fitter chronicler.' Daily
Telegraph 'A charming idyll ... Delightful.' Sunday Times
