    A sport based on one animal sitting on top of another and trying (usually) to be the first pair to reach a wooden stick is a curiosity in itself. So it's no surprise that horseracing is full of curiosities.

The curiosities in this collection have been chosen to arouse interest. They are stories of those curious creatures – people, and of horses.

The curiosities are arranged in themes so that the reader can dip in and out, as the mood takes them. The collection should leave them with a benevolent view of an intriguing sport, if they didn't already have one.  
Owners, jockeys, the horses, racecourses, officials, prizes, trainers and staff, racing journalists, betting, bookmakers, punters, skulduggery – one of Britain's best loved racing journalists David Ashforth has found the stories to capture the readers attention on all these topics and more.

An ‘imaginative and elegant trek through the landscape of the Brontës’ Grazia 
In his journey to get closer to the Brontës, award-winning author Michael Stewart began walking the historic paths they trod while writing their most famous works.

Along the way, you’ll find yourself getting closer to classics such as Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, discovering the real locations behind their fictional settings, and uncovering the myths that surround this much acclaimed and wholly unique family. 
This literary biography is a special recreation of the Brontës lives, taking you on a personal journey through regional hikes, nature, and travel. It's a top memoir that brings you closer to these iconic figures, making it the best way to experience their world. 
For fans of Ben Myers (Green Day), Zadie Smith (Intimations), Anita Sethi (I Belong Here), Daphne Du Maurier (The Infernal World Of Branwell Bronte), and Juliet Barker (The Brontës).
