  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  ‘We jumped in at the deep end and bought a farm! A reluctant wife, a couple of crazy kids and a husband whose knowledge of farming you could write on the back of a stamp… What could go wrong?!’ – Kelvin 
  ‘Exactly! And the journey has only just begun…’ – Liz 
  Join the Fletchers as they navigate the peaks and troughs of life on a lively farm. 
  When Kelvin and Liz Fletcher left their happy home in Oldham for a 120-acre farm in the Peak District, they were totally unaware of the surprises that lay in store. Come along for the ride as they navigate the Mishaps, like shearing sheep in a way that costs more than the price for the wool; the Lessons, such as never turn your back on a flock of sheep – or, put simply, ‘always close the gate!’ – and the Adventures, going from self-professed ‘townies’ to farmhands overnight. 
  In Fletchers on the Farm, childhood sweethearts Kelvin and Liz reflect on their history, their future and their daily balancing act of juggling acting careers, four young children and a farmyard full of animals. With wise words on building and nurturing a happy farm and family, this uplifting, heartwarming book is about following your dreams – even if you have no clue how to do it! 
  Time to pull on those wellies and get stuck into a farming adventure like no other. 
  ‘Like any farm, determination and perseverance are vital. We took a huge step into the unknown and, together, we haven’t looked back. The adventure continues!’ 
  In Fletchers on the Farm, Kelvin Fletcher, a top television personality, and his family become adventurers in the world of agriculture. This entertaining autobiography is a testament to their determination and perseverance, making it a best pick for environmentalists and explorers. 
  For fans of Adam Henson (A Farmer and His Dog), Helen Skelton (In My Stride), Amanda Owen (Celebrating the Seasons with the Yorkshire Shepherdess), Hannah Jackson (Call Me Red), and Peter Wright (The Tales and Tails of a Yorkshire Vet).

  Freedom's Edge - A true story of...

  "AFGHANISTAN: ...a landlocked country enclosed by a stupendously wild geography, centrally positioned between the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Central Asia, and the Far East... Coined the 'roundabout civilization' Afghanistan has been the centre of empires... and for the reception and diffusion of religious and artistic forms all over Asia; from ancient Mother Goddess cults of the Upper Palaeolithic through to Classical, Buddhist, Hindu, and the present Islamic period. It was here that the Vedas were composed; where Buddhism knew its greatest flowering; and where legend speaks of a...concentration of 'knowledge' or 'mystery'...held within this land and its peoples..."  
  The year is 1978.  
  A rebel, artist, and explorer (in all senses of the word) at the beginning of 23 year old Victoria's journey into Afghanistan in February of 1978, the country - a breath-taking array of mountains, valleys, deserts, and home to a mix of cultures, religions and peoples that traced their origins to some 50,000 years BC - was a mecca for travellers of every ilk. Ruled by the dictator, Mohammed Daoud Khan, the Country was seemingly at peace and prospering.  
  Had Daoud upheld the maxim of his exiled cousin, King Zahir Shah (and that of predecessors) of 'the right to freedom and dignity for every individual ', two hundred years of Afghanistan's internal peace might have continued, and Afghanistan retained its position as one of the world's MUST VISIT cultural and world-wonder destinations to this day. As it was, the Dictator suppressed democratic freedoms, while playing dice with two ambitious Superpowers - the USSR and USA - eager to find a chink in Afghanistan's armour.  
  Arguably the only Western witness to the USSR's manipulation of a populace (via the SAUR Revolution) and subsequent 'theft by stealth' of Afghanistan - which subsequently led to the prolonged war and decimation of one of the world's most extraordinary countries.

  The Unseen Path

  Nagababu Jannu

  Life doesn’t ask if we’re ready. 
  It simply happens and then it watches what we do next. 
  I was born blind, and from the beginning, the world carried quiet expectations about how small my life should remain. But I refused that script. 
  The Unseen Path is not a dramatic tale of overcoming disability in a single moment. It is the honest journey of learning to live, grow, and keep moving forward through challenges that were physical, social, and deeply human. 
  My world was shaped by sound, touch, and memory. And when life demanded more than courage, I answered with discipline, faith, and relentless effort. 
  This memoir follows the defining moments of my life from early struggles in a society that often mistakes disability for weakness, to my fight for equal opportunity in institutions that were not built for accessibility. I stood up for my education not as a favor, but as a right. That legal battle was never just about admission it was about dignity. 
  Yet this story is not written in anger or self-pity. It is an invitation into a life where obstacles keep coming, but the spirit remains steady. 
  Just when things seem to settle, the journey turns again into vulnerable seasons of illness, surgeries, and uncertainty. These chapters remind us of a truth we often avoid: anything can change, without warning. 
  The Unseen Path shows what it means to face pain without losing hope, fear without surrendering, and uncertainty without collapsing. 
  This memoir does not claim heroism. It simply tells the truth: life can be unfair and unpredictable but we can still choose our response. 
  If you have ever felt unseen, underestimated, or exhausted from fighting quietly, this book will feel personal. It won’t promise life becomes easier but it will remind you that you can become stronger. 
  Because sometimes, the greatest victory is not winning. 
  It is simply continuing.
