Winner of the 2020 Wainwright Prize, Diary of a Young Naturalist chronicles the turning of Dara McAnulty's world, from spring to summer, autumn to winter, on his home patch, at school, in the wild and in his head. Evocative, raw and beautifully written, this very special book vividly explores the natural world from the perspective of an autistic teenager juggling homework, exams and friendships alongside his life as a conservationist and environmental activist. With a sense of awe and wonder, Dara describes in meticulous detail encounters in his garden and the wild, with blackbirds, whooper swans, red kites, hen harriers, frogs, dandelions, skylarks, bats, cuckoo flowers, Irish hares and many more species. The power and warmth of his words also draw an affectionate and moving portrait of a close-knit family making their way in the world.

The book is an account of the day to day exploits of an expatriate Manxman and an Australian chum who seek to shake off the retirement blues by walking Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast path. It took 18 days to walk the 191 miles from the priory village of St Bees on the Irish Sea to arrive at the former smuggler's stronghold of Robin Hood's Bay on the Yorkshire coast. The trail passes through some of England's most rugged and sublime countryside. This trek was all it took for Richard to become hooked on the roving gypsy life so loved by the super-tramp poet, William Henry Davies and the busking writer, Laurie Lee. On the road, each step away from the day before so revitalized Richard's sense of freedom that he was able to live in the moment and bask in the simple delight of being. This wonderful experience rekindled his enthusiasm for adventure, sparking a determination to commit to life with renewed vigour and vitality. This was no time for retirement It's estimated that ten thousand people attempt this walk each year. Along the way Richard met backpackers who had trekked many famous trails throughout the world. They generally agreed that the Coast to Coast path is the most beautiful and enjoyable walk they'd done. There are many books about walking pilgrimage trails or fighting nature in wild and wonderful places. This book is nothing like that; it's about a long distance walk on a readily assessable trail which does not require superhuman effort to complete the distance. The book will appeal to walkers in general and to those contemplating a hiking holiday. The mass of armchair ramblers may also enjoy reading about the fascinating strangers and bizarre situations Richard encountered along the way. Its is possible that there are legions of older people who, on reading about this life changing adventures, may be tempted to try hiking themselves.

Dr. Wainwright's Patient by Edmund Yates is a late 19th-century novel set in the changing village of Beachborough, centered on Captain Derinzy and his niece, Miss Annette, as well as the enigmatic Dr. Wainwright. The story explores family dynamics, health concerns, and the tension between characters, especially in relation to Annette's mysterious illness and Captain Derinzy's complicated interactions with others. At the start, Beachborough is a picturesque village on the verge of modern change, with Captain Derinzy, a somewhat irritable yet refined man, reflecting on the transformations around him. During a supper gathering at Mrs. Powler's, gossip arises about the Captain's condition and the health of his niece, Annette. As the narrative progresses, it becomes clear that Annette is an invalid, and Dr. Wainwright's arrival from London sparks intrigue about her condition. The interactions between Mrs. Powler, Mrs. Jupp, and the doctor reveal the layers of village gossip and concern, setting the stage for further developments and emotional complexities.

The Fate of the Generals: Macarthur, Wainwright, and the Epic Battle for the Philippines

"One of the very best World War II books in many years...A great read." --General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Director of the CIA * "Fans of Unbroken will love this book." --Doug Stanton In the tradition of Ghost Soldiers, a "gripping" (Kirkus Reviews) World War II story of bravery, survival, and sacrifice--the vow Douglas MacArthur made to return to the Philippines and the oath his fellow general Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright made to stay with his men there whatever the cost. For the doomed stand American forces made in the Philippines at the start of World War II, two generals received their country's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. One was the charismatic and controversial Douglas MacArthur, whose orders forced him to leave his soldiers on the islands to starvation and surrender but whose vow to return echoed around the globe. The other was the gritty Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright, who became a hero to the troops whose fate he insisted on sharing, even when it meant becoming the highest-ranking American prisoner of the Japanese. In The Fate of the Generals, bestselling author Jonathan Horn brings together the story of two men who received the same medal but found honor on very different paths. MacArthur's journey would require a daring escape with his wife and young child to Australia and then years of fighting over thousands of miles to make it back to the Philippines, where he would fulfill his famous vow only to see the city he called home burn. Wainwright's journey would take him from the Philippines to Taiwan and Manchuria as his captors tortured him in prisons and left him to wonder whether his countrymen would ever understand the choice he had made to surrender for the sake of his men. A story of war made personal based on meticulous research into diaries and letters including boxes of previously unexplored papers, The Fate of the Generals is a vivid account that raises timely questions about how we define honor and how we choose our heroes, and is destined to become a classic of World War II history.
