📖 P R O O F G I V E A W A Y 📖

This year, as they have for millennia, many people around the world will set out on pilgrimages. But these are not only journeys of personal and spiritual devotion – they are also political acts, affirmations of identity and engagements with deep-rooted historical narratives.

In #HolyPlaces, historian Kathryn Hurlock follows the trail of pilgrimage through nineteen sacred sites – from the temples of Jerusalem to the banks of the Ganges, by way of Iona, Lourdes, Amritsar and Buenos Aires – revealing the many ways in which this ancient practice has shaped our religions and our world.

To be in with a chance of winning one of five proofs, simply…

Little Englanders by Alwyn Turner is now out in paperback 📚

In #LittleEnglanders, Alwyn Turner reconsiders the Edwardian era as a time of profound social change, bringing their history alive through music halls, male beauty contests, the 1908 Summer Olympics and the real Peaky Blinders.

In this colourful, detailed and hugely entertaining social history, Turner shows that, though the golden Victorian age was in the past, the birth of modern Britain was only just beginning.

‘There have been plenty of books on the Edwardians before, but never one as richly enjoyable as this’ Dominic Sandbrook

‘This rollicking account of Britain before the Great War is hard to beat’ The Times

‘A page-turner of a popular history of the period, crammed with humour and striking quotes’ Andrew Marr

We are delighted to be publishing #TheMeteorites by acclaimed author Helen Gordon in February 2025 ☄️

From your window you can see the stars and distant planets: light years away, it’s easy to think that our existences and theirs will never intersect. Yet meteorites - mysterious, irregular rocks of sometimes immense value - connect us with the vastness of the universe. They may have brought the first life to our planet, and today they still reveal extraordinary scientific insights.

Helen Gordon reveals the fascinating stories of fallen meteorites and the lives they’ve touched - from collectors to kings, scientists to farmers. She meets amateur astronomers and gem dealers, goes meteorite hunting across rooftops and learns what objects moving through space can tell us about the fragility of life on Earth.
