  Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Book of the Year 2025A Financial Times best summer travel book of 2024Travel Book of the Year at the Inspire Global Media Awards 
  'A powerfully delicate book of love, loss and discovery, along paths of emotional understanding and physical wonder.' Raynor Winn 
  On an assignment to walk the most famous pilgrimage in the world – the Camino de Santiago, in northern Spain – Phoebe Smith somehow lost her way. 
  Having spent a lifetime exploring unfamiliar places, she quit her dream job, ended her long-term relationship and headed home to North Wales to discover the point to… everything. 
  In her search for answers she found herself – quite by accident – walking some of Britain’s oldest pilgrim paths. And by following these old ways, she ended up confronting past traumas that she thought she had laid to rest. 
  But while it follows holy trails, this is not a book about religion. From losing her mother as a teenager to surviving toxic relationships, Phoebe offers an unflinchingly honest look at her battle with an eating disorder, depression, and the pitfalls of newfound singledom. 
  Skilfully weaving together Phoebe’s own story with those of countless travellers past and present, Wayfarer reveals how nature and place can heal past wounds, offering a pathway to salvation she’d never thought existed. 
  In this award-winning autobiography, Smith takes us on a journey through Europe, her words painting vivid images of the walks and hikes she undertakes. Her memoirs are not just travelogues, but essays of self-discovery and healing. 
  For fans of Raynor Winn (Landlines), Stephen Neale (The South West Coast Path), Will Millard (The Way of the Hermit), Steve Davison (15 Short Walks on Dartmoor North), and Daniel Start (Wild Guide Lake District and Yorkshire Dales).

  The charming and joyful follow-up book from ‘the nation’s taster in chief,’ Felicity Cloake. 
  If there’s one thing that truly unites Britain, from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth, St Ives to St Pancras, it’s an obsession with breakfast. 
  We all have an opinion on the merits of brown sauce versus ketchup on our morning bacon sarnie. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to One More Croissant for the Road, the nation’s favourite taster-in-chief Felicity Cloake sets off on a cycle trip of condimental proportions to investigate and celebrate the legendary Great British Breakfast. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to establish once and for all what makes a perfect fry-up, she rates them on criteria from the crispness of the bacon to how long they keep her pedalling. But a woman cannot live by All Day Breakfast alone, so as well as recipes for the Savoy's Omelette Arnold Bennett and proper Scottish porridge, she lavishes her attention on the regional specialities she encounters along the way, from a desi breakfast in Birmingham to a Greggs Geordie stottie cake. This is a freewheeling gastronomical tour like no other. 
  Eaten with as much relish in The Wolseley on Piccadilly as in Glasgow’s University Cafe, Britain loves nothing more than a good breakfast. The only question is: what do you have with yours? 
  In RED SAUCE BROWN SAUCE, Felicity Cloake, the nation's favourite taster-in-chief, combines her love for cycling and cooking to present a unique travelogue. She explores the best of British breakfasts, from the Welsh desi breakfast to the Scottish stottie cake, making it a top pick for food and travel enthusiasts. 
  For fans of Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Peter Mayle (My Twenty-Five Years in Provence), Nigella Lawson (Cook, Eat, Repeat), Max Halley (Max's Sandwich Book), and Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France).

  AT FIFTY-FOUR, Alenka Vrecek’s life was spiraling out of control—and she was running out of time to follow through on a long-forgotten dream. 
  She Rides is Alenka’s deeply personal memoir of her 2,500-mile solo bikepacking pilgrimage along the spine of the snow-covered Sierra Nevada and into  
  the hostile desert mountains and plains of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Stripped of self-pity and infused with a good dose of humor, her account of her journey 
  —a voyage across emotional, physical, and cultural boundaries—is a galvanizingwake-up call for anyone who wants to follow their own deeply buried  
  dreams . . .and reclaim their life. 
  A gripping account of small-scale adventure and self-discovery.” 
  —Kirkus reviews 
  “Alenka Vrecek invites us to sit side-saddle as she rides from Tahoe to the tip of Baja, battling headwinds and heartache, illness and injury, and others’ ideas of who and how a fifty-four-year-old woman should be. Gripping, wise, and snort-coffee-out-your-nose funny, She Rides will make you want to drop everything, get good and lost, and find your way back home.” 
  —Brian Benson, author of Going Somewhere 
  “A universal story of healing, hope, grit, and determination. Alenka’s bike trip from Tahoe to Baja is a heroine’s journey that will hold you in its grip. But it’s also a love story—about knowing what matters most and finding your way back home.” 
  —Valerie Andrews, editor of Reinventing Home and author of A Passion for this Earth
