I Saw This is a collaborative arts project by artist Tom de Freston, documentary filmmaker Mark Jones and Oxford-based academic Ali Souleman. Inspired by the Syrian war and the terrorist explosion that left Souleman blind, the project explores trauma and suffering, sight and memory, inner and outer worlds, and questions of hope, life and death.

An artist's intensely personal reckoning that delves deep inside the making of art, and explores the value of facing, and depicting, the darkest of horrors.

A captivating, powerful and luminous story from a bestselling, award-winning author about a mother, a daughter and the great Greenland shark. Wrapped up in mesmerising illustrations and presented as a deluxe hardback, this is a perfect gift for the holiday season, for 9+ fans of Philip Pullman, Sally Gardner and Frances Hardinge. The shark was beneath my bed, growing large as the room, large as the lighthouse, rising from unfathomable depths until it ripped the whole island from its roots. The bed was a boat, the shark a tide, and it pulled me so far out to sea I was only a speck, a spot, a mote, a dying star in an unending sky... Julia has followed her mum and dad to live on a remote island for the summer - her dad, for work; her mother, on a determined mission to find the elusive Greenland shark. But when her mother's obsession threatens to submerge them all, Julia finds herself on an adventure with dark depths and a lighthouse full of hope... A beautiful, lyrical, uplifting story about a mother, a daughter, and love - with timely themes of the importance of science and the environment.
