    A biography of Ferry Farm—George Washington's boyhood home—and its three centuries of American history.“Levy’s exploration yields clues to George’s life there, such as whether there really was a cherry tree. . . . A wealth in deliberative detail to contemplate and relish.” —Kirkus ReviewsIn 2002, Philip Levy arrived on the banks of Rappahannock River in Virginia to begin an archeological excavation of Ferry Farm, the eight-hundred-acre plot of land that George Washington called home from age six until early adulthood. Six years later, Levy and his team announced their remarkable findings to the world: They had found more than Washington family objects like wig curlers, wine bottles and a tea set. They found objects that told deeper stories about family life: a pipe with Masonic markings, a carefully placed set of oyster shells suggesting that someone in the household was practicing folk magic. More importantly, they had identified Washington's home itself—a modest structure in line with lower gentry taste that was neither as grand as some had believed nor as rustic as nineteenth century art depicted it.Levy now tells the farm’s story in Where the Cherry Tree Grew. The land, a farmstead before Washington lived there, gave him an education in the fragility of life as death came to Ferry Farm repeatedly. Levy then chronicles the farm's role as a Civil War battleground, the heated later battles over its preservation and, finally, an unsuccessful attempt by Wal-Mart to transform the last vestiges Ferry Farm into a vast shopping plaza.“Deploying narrative verve and evidentiary precision, Levy will captivate American history buffs.” —Booklist

    A biography of Vergil, Rome’s greatest poet, by the acclaimed translator of the Aeneid 
     
    The Aeneid stands as a towering work of Classical Roman literature and a gripping dramatization of the best and worst of human nature. In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70–19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. 
     
    But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure; we know that he was born into a modest rural family, that he led a private and solitary life, and that, in spite of poor health and unusual emotional vulnerabilities, he worked tirelessly to achieve exquisite new effects in verse. Vergil’s most famous work, the Aeneid, was commissioned by the emperor Augustus, who published the epic despite Vergil’s dying wish that it be destroyed. 
     
    Sarah Ruden, widely praised for her translation of the Aeneid, uses evidence from Roman life and history alongside Vergil’s own writings to make careful deductions to reconstruct his life. Through her intimate knowledge of Vergil’s work, she brings to life a poet who was committed to creating something astonishingly new and memorable, even at great personal cost.

    Featuring exclusive interviews with Jack Grealish, John McGinn, Ollie Watkins, Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa, along with many other key figures 
    In early July 2018, Aston Villa were staring into the abyss. 
    Locked in a cash crisis triggered by defeat in the Championship play-off final, one of English football’s most historic and successful clubs stood on the brink of financial catastrophe. 
    Yet less than six years later, Villa were celebrating qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history. 
    Waking The Giant takes you inside one of the most extraordinary revival acts in modern football, from the last-minute takeover by billionaire duo Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens which saved the club, through the promotion and equally remarkable Premier League survival inspired by boyhood supporter Dean Smith, right up to the present day and their return to the European elite under Unai Emery. 
    It is a tale of triumph plucked from the jaws of despair, several times over, with Villa frequently defying the odds to keep climbing and reclaim their place at English football’s top table. 
    From club record runs to great escapes from relegation and British record transfers, this is a rollercoaster ride not to be missed. 
    Featuring exclusive interviews with:Jack GrealishJohn McGinnOllie WatkinsTyrone MingsEzri KonsaAlbert AdomahDamian Vidagany, Director of Football OperationsJesus Garcia Pitarch, former sporting directorDean Smith, former managerKeith Wyness, former CEO
