  The Knotsman does not exist, you will not find him in history books or collections of 'bygone' skills. But Math Jones has created him, and his fellows, in a time very like the English Civil War. There he is, going from house to house, village to village, battlefield to gallows, unravelling knots and problems, physical, emotional and psychological; a new kind of cunning man, not always welcome, not always quite as clever as his fingers and picks would have him believe.

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
  In this volume we gather together those poets and their verse who celebrated the return of the Monarchy to the country after the volatile upheavals of the Puritan years.

  In the Bear's House

  "Let me say at the outset that this book is not about Bear (he would be spoken of in the singular and masculine, capitalized and without an article), or it is only incidentally about him. I am less interested in defining the being of Bear than in trying to understand something about the spirit of wilderness, of which Bear is a very particular expression . . . Bear is a template of the wilderness."—from the Introduction 
   
   
   
  Since receiving the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his novel House Made of Dawn, N. Scott Momaday has had one of the most remarkable careers in twentieth-century American letters. Here, in In the Bear's House, Momaday passionately explores themes of loneliness, sacredness, and aggression through his depiction of Bear, the one animal that has both inspired and haunted him throughout his lifetime. 
   
   
   
  With transcendent dignity and gentleness, In the Bear's House celebrates Momaday's extraordinary creative vision and his evolution as one of our most gifted artists.

  Based on the provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, this adaptation gives the famous story yet another turn of its own. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor, Miss Jessel, drowned herself when she became pregnant by the sadistic valet, Peter Quint, who was himself found dead soon after under mysterious circumstances. Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of Quint and Jessel haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?

  What if your deepest longing belonged to someone who lived before you? 
  Spanning continents and generations, Love is the Bridge is an epic tale of three love stories—one of forbidden desire, one of sacred surrender, and one of a soul divided across time. 
  From New York’s boardrooms to Rumi’s Konya, from a Berlin haunted by memory to the vanished gardens of Shiraz and Kabul, Arian Nazrani’s journey begins as a search for truth. At the helm of a crumbling tech company, he finds himself unraveling—caught between the demands of a fading world and the stirrings of a deeper call. 
  When he uncovers his uncle Masud’s lost diary—a poetic chronicle of heartbreak and mystical awakening—Arian is drawn into a world where time dissolves, and love transcends lifetimes. 
  In the whirl of sacred rhythm, past and present collapse—and Arian glimpses a love that once lived through Masud, and now lives again through him. 
  This is a story of longing. 
  Of exile and return. 
  Of love that survives death and distance. 
  Because time is an illusion. 
  And love is the bridge.
