      Ranked among the top artist-reporters of the last one hundred years, Paul Hogarth RA is one of Britain's most distinguished illustrators and graphic artists. Allied to his artistic talent is an adventurous spirit and a passion for travel. From working trips to China and the USSR in the 1950s through time spent in the USA and, more recently, in Croatia, his drawings are a unique record of sixty years of world history. This new edition adds 16 pages of tales and drawings to this enthralling and richly illustrated autobiography.

      Drawing on Life2002
    • Peter Mayle and his wife did what most of us only image doing when they made their long-cherished dream of a life abroad a reality: throwing caution to the wind, they bought a glorious 200-year-old farmhouse in the Luberon and began a new life. In a year that begins with a marathon lunch and continues with a host of gastronomique delights, they also survive the unexpected and often hilarious curiosities of rural life. From mastering the local accent and enduring invasion by bumbling builders, to discovering the finer points of boules and goat-racing, all the earthly pleasures of provencal life are conjured up in this portrait.

    • This is Doris Lessing's account of a journey back to the land in which she grew up and in which so much of her concern is still invested. Her love of Africa is as strong as her hatred of the white supremacy rule that has haunted its past.
