Sinossi

In The Infernal Garden, Gregory Leadbetter's poetry leads us into dark and verdant places of the imagination, the edge of the wild where the human meets the more-than-human in the burning green fuse of the living world. This liminal ground becomes a garden of death and rebirth, of sound and voice, in poems that combine the lyric with the mythic, precision with mystery.
Responding to the intricate crisis in our relationship to our planet and the life around us, the garden here assumes a haunting, otherworldly aspect, as a space of loss, grief and trial, which nonetheless carries within it the energies of regeneration and growth. At the heart of this bewitching book is the force of language itself – at once disquieting and healing – through which we are drawn to the common roots of art, science, and magic, in exquisite poetry of incantatory power.
"This is heavy-metal poetry, dark and decidedly theatrical." - Jeremy Wikeley, 'The best poetry books of 2025 so far', The Telegraph.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    The year is 1842. The British Empire’s bold venture into Afghanistan has dissolved into a horrific nightmare. After installing the unpopular Shah Shuja Durrani on the throne in Kabul, the occupying forces under the inept command of General Elphinstone find themselves besieged, their political envoy Sir William Macnaghten brutally murdered by Wazir Akbar Khan, leader of the Afghan resistance. 
    Forced into a humiliating capitulation, the sixteen thousand souls of the British column – soldiers, sepoys, and a vast multitude of civilian camp followers – begin their infamous winter retreat. "Gandamak's Fury: The Road from Kabul" charts this catastrophic journey, a ninety-mile exodus from the Afghan capital towards the distant hope of Jalalabad, a path that would become a byword for military disaster. 
    "Gandamak's Fury: The Road from Kabul" is an unflinching, epic portrayal of one of history’s most harrowing military retreats. It explores the catastrophic consequences of imperial hubris, the brutal realities o

    'Who knows what adventures await?'
    It's Thursday night – so Jess, Maryn and Milo are at Dennis's board-game café, continuing their quest to defeat the Nightmare King… It has been months, but now all that stands between them and victory is a few lucky rolls of a twenty-sided die.
    A struggling student, an overworked trainee solicitor and a reluctant job-seeker, here they are transformed into Dungeon Master, Wizard and Warrior Princess. But what happens when the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur?
    Funny, gripping and heartfelt, Jack Bradfield's play The Habits opened at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, London, in 2025, directed by Ed Madden.

    Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden Hill, Kensington on May 29th 1874. 
    Originally after attending St Pauls School he went to Slade to learn the art of illustration.  In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic before going on to writing weekly columns in the Daily News and the Illustrated London News. 
    In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life. 
    For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories which were much influenced by his own beliefs.  A large man – 6’ 4” and 21st in weight he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are – a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place but where should he actually be…….? 
    He was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, short stories, essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems.  It is on his poems that we concentrate this volume.  They range from the virtues and vices of England and the English to his world view and religious beliefs. 
    GK Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June, 1936 and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started? 
    From the beginning of time, God has called His children to share the Good News. One group of individuals He especially loves to call is artists. Looking at the sweeping majesty of a fiery sunset, or the delicate perfection of a single flower, I know that God is an artist. He uses beauty to share His love, and He calls artists to create beauty through their many mediums to spread His Word. 
    Called to Create is a collection of audio dramas about artists throughout history who heeded God's call to use their talents to connect His children, share His love, and glorify His name.  
    When God calls, the artist listens. 
    Featuring stories based on the following artists: Genesius of Rome, James Tissot, Gabrielle Bossis, Sarah Fuller Flower Adams, Dorothea Sayers, and Tony Fontane.
