I Served The King Of England
Ditie is a pint-sized hotel waiter with big dreams.
Between pocketing stolen change from unsuspecting customers and reminiscing on nights spent at the local brothel, he fantasises about his immense - and imagined - riches.
Then, ludicrously, Ditie's dreams start to become reality.
Yet while his chaotic adventures lead him to ever more glamorous hotels, beyond the sparkling dining halls, the forces of twentieth-century European history march on.
A whirlwind of comic genius, a gut-punch of narrative power, this is the story of one small man's rise and fall - or fall and rise - against the shadowy backdrop of Europe's darkest days.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ADAM THIRLWELL
Crossing
A beautiful and compelling family memoir retracing the love story between Sabrin Hasbun's Palestinian father and Italian mother, and the life of her half-Italian, half-Palestinian family from the 1960s to 2020. After the loss of her mother, Sabrin tries to renegotiate her mixed identity and understand her mother's choices which led her from an oppressive childhood in a village in Tuscany to finding love and community activism in Palestine.
This is a story about overcoming grief and what it means to lose not only loved ones, but also a place in the world and a sense of belonging.
A Sound So Very Loud
Music journalists Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain first met Liam and Noel in 1994, when the brothers were playing tiny venues, and have since interviewed them dozens of times, tracking the astonishing success of Oasis as they became one of the biggest bands in the world.
In this comprehensive telling of the Oasis story through their spectacular back catalogue, Kessler and MacBain focus on the enduring power of the music, exploring the tales behind the lyrics and revealing the background to the writing, recording and impact of all the songs, from megahits like 'Live Forever', 'Wonderwall' and 'Champagne Supernova' to the fan-favourite B-sides and deep cuts such as 'Acquiesce', 'The Masterplan' and 'Half the World Away'.
With their unique perspective on all things Oasis, Kessler and MacBain bring this story to life in glorious colour. A Sound So Very Loud is the book every Oasis fan needs on their shelves, destined to be as timeless and as moreish as the music itself.

The Cats of Poets Square
Previously published as Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
People kept asking: Why would you have cats that don't love you back?
The morning after Courtney Gustafson moved into an old house in the Poets Square neighbourhood of Tucson, Arizona, she noticed tiny pawprints all over her driveway. They were the first evidence of a colony of feral cats, who, to her surprise, would expand her world spectacularly.
Beebs was the first to appear. Then there was Monkey, the dark-blotched 'scheming little gremlin' calico, and Reverse Monkey, her timid, white-blotched opposite. There were Sad Boy and Lola, the inseparable pair who made their way across the internet and into strangers' wedding vows. And there was Goldie, the tiny king of Poets Square: sick, skinny, but completely fearless.
Poets Square is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, it explores what loving these feral creatures, in all their noise and need, can teach us about care, connectedness and the power of hope.
Sum of Us
'A masterpiece of storytelling' Robert Winder Georgina Sturge, House of Commons Library statistician and author of the critically acclaimed Bad Data, explores the rich history of the times the UK has counted itself - from the revolutionary first census of 1801 to modern worries over technological surveillance. Condensing a whole society into numbers brought hidden problems to light: mapping cholera deaths in Soho led researchers to a single deadly water pump; Florence Nightingale stunned the Victorian establishment with her diagrams showing disease was the soldier's hidden enemy; and the discovery that industries like firework-making were almost entirely staffed by women helped improve workers' rights. Full of fascinating social detail, Sum of Us draws out the human stories captured in the vast tangle of data the UK has collected over two centuries. It provides a vital snapshot not of who we imagine ourselves to be - but who we really are.

Beyond Peaks - The Cuisine of Schloss Schauenstein
Experience the extraordinary food and philosophy of Schloss Schauenstein, the three-Michelin-starred culinary destination in the heart of the Swiss Alps
Schloss Schauenstein is more than a restaurant - it is an eighteenth-century castle reimagined as a modern gastronomic beacon. Here, a tight-knit team works at the pinnacle of their craft, guided by a philosophy that celebrates terroir through enduring relationships with those who grow, shape, and harvest its ingredients. The result is a living expression of culinary artistry, cultural heritage, and creative collaboration.
In Beyond Peaks, Schloss Schauenstein's visionary chefs, Andreas Caminada and Marcel Skibba, invite readers to explore this extraordinary dining destination. Presented as a stunning dual-volume monograph, the book distils the spirit of Schloss Schauenstein through story, recipes, people, and landscape, both past and present.
Volume I: Stories is a richly textured portrait of the people and ingredients behind the plates. Through essays, profiles, and stunning photography, readers are introduced to the gardeners, artisans, bakers, winemakers, and craftspeople whose contributions shape the restaurant's quiet brilliance.
Volume II: Recipes presents a curated collection of seasonal tasting menus, which articulate a meticulous yet expressive culinary voice. Dishes such as Fermented Asparagus with Barley and Juniper or Roasted Duck with Rhubarb and Pine are precise tributes to the land. Foundational recipes offer practical insight.
Conceptually rich and impeccably designed, Beyond Peaks will inspire anyone passionate about food as a cultural act: destination diners and armchair gourmands, professional chefs and ambitious home cooks, culinary educators and passionate cookbook collectors. It is a celebration of alpine culture, craftsmanship, and culinary innovation - anchored within the walls of a medieval castle and brought to life by two of Europe's most respected contemporary chefs.
Who Wants Normal?
'We all need this book' Jameela Jamil'Beautiful, vital and important. I loved it' Jack Thorne, writer of Adolescence‘A razor sharp manifesto by one of Britain's most vital voices’ Yomi AdegokeSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2026 UNWIN AWARD FOR MAKING A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLDNOW WITH A NEW FOREWORDA groundbreaking memoir about what it means to be a disabled woman in Britain today from the acclaimed journalist and author, including insights and personal stories from over 50 contributors'No one really talks about it. No one really talks about what it is to be a disabled woman, especially a young one … To navigate all the standard parts of life - exams, careers, dating - but with a body that is different from everyone else’s.'Almost one in four women in the UK have some sort of disability, yet this subject is too often shrouded in silence and stereotypes. Who Wants Normal? by the award-winning journalist and author Frances Ryan is a game-changing take on disability and feminism. Part memoir, part manifesto, it explores six facets of life: education, careers, health, body image, relationships and representation, as well as how to survive life’s bumps in the road. It draws on Frances’s own experience as well as her interviews with over fifty of Britain’s best-known women and non-binary people with mental and physical health conditions, including Jameela Jamil, Sophie Morgan, Ruth Madeley, Nikki Fox, Rosie Jones, Fearne Cotton, Emma Barnett, Ellie Goldstein and Katie Piper. Who Wants Normal? lifts the lid on and redefines what it means to be a disabled woman in Britain today. It offers support, inspiration and a sense of solidarity to the many women with disabilities and long-term health conditions – as well as opening the eyes of anyone wanting to better understand life with a disability. 'I've never related to a book more. Disabled or not, you MUST read this' Rosie Jones'Supercharged relevance [full of] robust analysis and wry humour… readers will find here stories to inspire, enrage and encourage' Observer
Age Against The Machine
We're here to blow apart some of the myths that prevent older workers from fully participating in the world of work. Work is the cornerstone of purpose, income and connection - typically denied to people as they get older either directly through ageism or indirectly through the misselling of the retirement dream.
The book is broken into two sections.
Part One:
This is a wake up call: readers need to understand the size and scale of the problem to ready themselves for the changes they need to make. By the end of part one, the reader will understand how retirement came about and why it's no longer fit for purpose. They'll know every marker of successful ageing is associated with those who work and feel through this a sense of purpose. They'll understand why recruitment is broken and how poorly prepared governments and organisations are to support them. In short, they will know the only way for them to help themselves and others, is to read part two.
Part Two
We help readers get their heads into gear by busting common myths (e.g. do a job you love). We provide a structure for people to navigate change in an ageist world and show them how to be a constructive age activist so they can become part of the solution.
Braver New World
'Engaging and informative, imploring us not to lose hope' Observer'A ray of sunshine' Start the Week, Radio 4'Rattlingly readable... Inspiring' Financial TimesAt a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination. - Taiwan's health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS. - Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara produce enough clean energy to power two million homes. - Estonia has transformed itself into a digital pioneer in a single generation - becoming the world's first fully digital government where 97.6% of citizens access state services online. - Costa Rica has tripled its economy while doubling its forest cover, proving that green policies can pay direct dividends. What unites these countries, and more, is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The places showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn. 'A persuasive and imaginative argument against the gloom of our times' Bronwen Maddox'Solutions-focused authorship at its best' Andrew Roberts'A how-to book with inspired answers to our urgent questions' Lyse Doucet'Read this book as an antidote to fatalism and gloom' Robert Peston'Closely reported, surprising and, above all, hopeful' Jonathan Freedland
The North Road
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING 2025 AND A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK‘A dazzlingly inventive work of literature’ Robert Macfarlane, author of The Old Ways'A wonderful, epic braiding of history, geography and personal memoir' James Rebanks, author of English Pastoral _____________________________________________________________________At the heart of this book is a highway. The A1; The Great North Road. A 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway, Roman road, pilgrim path, coach route and motorway that has run like a backbone through Britain for the last 2,000 years. In this genre-defying and profoundly personal book, Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. Weaving his own histories and memories with the layered landscapes he moves through, this is the story of an age, of coming to terms with time past and time passing, and the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves. Written in kaleidoscopic prose, The North Road is an unforgettable exploration of Britain’s great highway. __________________________________________________________________________'This is an astonishing book in its scope and vitality.

Valós Rémálmok
Amikor az ember azt hiszi, minden a helyére kerül, akkor jön egy újabb csapás.
Alicia visszatér Holtvölgybe, hogy helyre tegye azokat a dolgokat, amelyek a múltban megtörténtek: gyász, trauma, csalódás. Sok mindenen ment keresztül, ám az a célja, hogy legyőzze a fejében lakozó démonokat, hogy továbbléphessen, és boldog, nyugodt életet éljen. De ahogyan azt már megtanultuk, Holtvölgyben semmi nem olyan egyszerű.
Valaki ott lapul a sötétben. Valaki, aki nem képes továbblépni. Valaki, aki bármeddig hajlandó elmenni azért, hogy megkapja, amit akar.
Miközben Alicia igyekszik szabad lenni, és továbbra is meg akarja fejteni az egyik rejtélyes gyilkosságot, mely ezen a helyen történt, Olivér újra a lány kegyeiért teper. Ő sem adja fel könnyen, azonban ha igazán boldoggá akarja tenni őt, neki is szembe kell néznie valamivel. Azzal az énjével, melyet még ő maga sem ismer eléggé.
Vajon sikerül megküzdeniük az újabb nehézségekkel, vagy ezúttal végleg elnyeli őket a sötétség?
