I know, I'm repeating an (favorite) author, but it's May and Elizabeth and Her German Garden by Elizabeth Von Arnim starts at May, 7th. It was published in 1898 and it's a semi-autobiographical novel written in diary form. You can download the book here.

Is a River Alive? by Robert MacFarlane has flowed downstream, to the delta of the new books table.

Joe already thinks it will be one of his books of the year; beautifully written, it pulls no punches on how much damage we have done to our world, but it also instils hope and that equally precious commodity, the sense of wonder.

Signed Indie Bookshop editions available now.

"If you find it difficult to think of a #river as alive, try picturing a dying or dead river. This is easier ... Can a forest think? Does a mountain remember? Is a river alive?"
One of my favourite nature writers is Robert Macfarlane. And since I can follow him again on another place, I get his new texts. Here's a great #essay from his coming #book 'Is A River Alive': theguardian.com/books/2025/apr

“At a time of global ecological crisis, when the greed and short-sightedness of humans threatens an increasingly fragile environment, her intuitive understanding of the landscape and the rhythms of nature is both a clarion call and a balm for the soul.”

—Dr Scott Lyall on Nan Shepherd’s THE LIVING MOUNTAIN
