Enchanted Wales
The magical world of Welsh mythology deserves to be better known outside its homeland, with its cast of heroes and tricksters, animals that can talk and change shape, and magicians and witches who can bring disaster or triumph to the people in their paths. 'Enchanted Wales' is an invitation to voyage through the key stories of Welsh mythic literature, exploring not just their medieval texts but also their ancient roots, which can be glimpsed in sculptures, carvings and other artefacts from at least a thousand years earlier. These stories are more than epic entertainments: they allow us to explore our deepest questions about life and death, war and peace, and good and evil, secure in the knowledge that a skilful storyteller will guide us safely to the end of the tale.

Pembrokeshire
As the home of Britain's one and only national coastal park, Pembrokeshire is rightly famed for its marine wildlife, unspoilt beaches, towering cliffs and charming harbours. Inland, however, you will also find ancient woodlands and rolling hills, as well as archaeological mysteries and crumbling castles which suggest that this peaceful part of Wales has a far more turbulent past. The 40 moderate walks in this volume explore the stunning coastline as well as the heartland of the county, with several routes making use of sections of established long-distance walking trails.

In a time of ecological crisis, how can we listen to the wisdom of Hafren?

Mounton House
The most ambitious project of Henry Avray Tipping, the influential architectural editor of 'Country Life', Mounton was a new country house and garden, designed without limitations of expense to be the perfect expression of his immense knowledge of history, architecture and horticulture. All was designed to impress a distinguished social circle. However, within weeks of its completion, the Great War started. The world of English country-house living changed irrevocably, so Tipping never saw his hopes for the house come to fruition. Featuring a wealth of previously unseen material including correspondence, articles and illustrations, this book insightfully details the design and building of the home H. Avray Tipping created for himself with the help of the young Chepstow architect Eric Carwardine Francis.
