    Martin Hibbert was left paralysed from the waist down by the Manchester Arena bombing which killed twenty-two people on 22 May 2017. Martin’s teenage daughter Eve was one of the 940 injured, in Eve’s case, gravely. The dad from Bolton has since become a leading campaigner both for victims of the atrocity and those with spinal cord injuries. 
    Determined to make a difference he took on the ultimate challenge, scaling Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair, becoming the second paraplegic to do so, and raising a million pounds for charity. Reaching the summit, on 13 June 2022 Martin, who was the closest person to the bomber to survive, said, ‘I’ve often wondered why I was saved. Now I know why. It was for this moment.’ 
    This is Martin’s incredible story. 
    'Everything about this extraordinary story is as inspiring as it is humbling' Ben Fogle

    Bloomer

    Carol Lefevre

    It is daunting to grow old in a time and place that does not value old people, but the age group known as Boomers should not be so easily dismissed. They marched against the Vietnam War and were the first generation to be liberated by the contraceptive pill from the fear of unwanted pregnancy. Their teenage years were fuelled by protest songs and peace-and-love idealism, and many are still engaged in forms of activism. 
     
    Framed by the turning of the seasons in her small suburban garden, Carol Lefevre's Bloomer documents the year in which she turned seventy. Memoir threads through meditations on aspects of ageing, from its hidden grief and potential for loneliness to our relationship with the past and with our own mortality. 
     
    In this gorgeous, optimistic and eloquent coming-of-old-age book, Boomers emerge as Bloomers – people not at the end of things but still on their way, ready to embrace a late-life flourishing. 
     
    'The idea at the heart of this excellent book is that growing older is an opportunity for renewal and growth. It eschews stereotypes and trite representations of positive ageing and offers us something more reflective and meaningful. Beautifully written and full of wisdom, this is a book for all ages.' PIP WILLIAMS 
     
    'Bloomer is at once a revelatory meditation on ageing and an exploration of the place and power of gardens in a richly inhabited life. For long moments, Lefevre's book, like a beloved garden, makes time slow in moments of contemplation. Bloomer is a book to be savoured.' LUCY TRELOAR 
     
    'A tender, unflinching palimpsest of the layering force of time as it flows through every cell of our being. Beautiful. Poetic. A meditation on turning grey, learning to be old and the art of embracing every age we are privileged to live. A remembrance of wonder and precious moments, this is a necessary book.' DONNA WARD

    The long-awaited biography of cartoonist Murray Ball, creator of Footrot Flats 
      
    In Murray Ball: A Cartoonist's Life, Murray's son Mason Ball shares all the hits and misses and long years of hard graft that went into what would become the wildly successful creative enterprise: Footrot Flats. From his unique viewpoint and with candid honesty, Mason reveals the real-life backstory to Murray's most iconic characters and themes, telling the story of the man - and father - who could see the quirks of human nature and capture them with the stroke of a pen. 
    Richly illustrated with family photos and cartoons by the bloke who brought us that most lovable character, the Dog. 
    Let me show you how my dad became a leading cartoonist of his generation, how his endearing characters evolved and where the insightful and humorous ideas sprang from. Let's see the man behind the drawing desk and delve into the workings of his mind. - Mason Ball
