As the nights in Svalbard grow dark, cold and endless, a young arctic fox called Rana plays in the snow. She spends all day following the tracks of a polar bear, and enjoying the tasty treats it leaves behind. But as night begins to fall, the snow grows so thick that Rana can no longer see the footprints, let alone find her way back home! And although she is wearing her fluffiest winter coat, the arctic winter is too cold and dark for a little fox all on her own... Filled with irresistible illustrations, The Snow Fox and the Long, Long Night is a heart-warming tale of courage, and a true celebration of the arctic landscape.

<b><i>Writing is more than language and story.</i></b><br/><b><i>It also involves the creation of self.</i></b><br/><b><i>Writing is about who we are and who we are becoming.</i></b><br/><br/>After taking up writing at the age of thirty, Sue Monk Kidd has created some of the world's most treasured stories. In <i>Writing Creativity and Soul</i> she shares exactly how she did it - from plunging her innermost depths, to voyaging to sacred spaces, to studying the precise methods of the greats and refining her own. Laying her creative journey bare, Sue explores the moments in which she lost her voice and when she found it again, as well as the profound insights she gained along the way.<br/><br/>Part memoir, part philosophical investigation, part advice to aspiring writers, this is a guide to awakening the soul. Everything that readers loved about <i>The Secret Life of Bees</i> is to be found in the pages of <i>Writing Creativity and Soul</i> - the warmth, the fierce intelligence, the wit, the spiritual hunger, the search for beauty and meaning and, perhaps above all, the rebel heart.

<b>"Outrageously good ... An unforgettable book" - OLIVIA LAING</b><br/><br/><b>"Reverie and road-trip, <i>Aqua</i> succeeds in turning the Cadillac Desert and Land of Little Rain into something lush and unexpected ... Chiara Barzini ducts and dives through a wonderful and revelatory journey" - GEOFF DYER</b><br/><br/>In 1913, William Mulholland finished building the Los Angeles Aqueduct - a 233-mile engineering masterwork transporting water from the Owens Valley, across the desert, to a barren corner of California that would become the home of filmmaking.<br/><br/> Over one hundred years later, award-winning Italian author and filmmaker Chiara Barzini traces the geography of the aqueduct, from its source, across the desert, to the city that it helped into existence, all while reckoning with her personal history with the landscape. From the 'fake' waters of the Universal Studios <i>Jaws</i> attraction to Salton Sea - California's largest lake and 'the only man-made mistake visible from space' - <i>Aqua</i> explores how water, and its absence, shaped both a modern landscape and the history of film.<br/><br/> A blend of travel writing, philosophy, cultural history and memoir, <i>Aqua</i> is a hugely entertaining and wide-ranging exploration of water, film, dreams versus reality and an empire on the brink of catastrophe.
