  As seen on Channel 5’s hit shows, Springtime on the Farm, This Week on the Farm and Cannon Hall: A Yorkshire Farm 
   
   
  Packed with fresh anecdotes and astonishing new detail, this emotional journey to the foothills of the Pennines brings the Cannon Hall Farm story bang up to date. 
   
  In their own words, the very personal story of the ups and downs of the Nicholson family at Cannon Hall farm spanning almost 70 years. 
   
   
  From the death of Roger’s beloved dad Charlie to the daily struggle for survival amid farming’s rapidly changing landscape, the Nicholsons have weathered storm after storm. 
   
   
  They came perilously close to losing it all as a lifetime of farming tradition seemed to slip through their fingers. 
  But in a daring last roll of the dice, they bet the farm – and won – creating against all odds one of Britain’s best-loved tourist attractions. 
   
   
  Here, Roger and wife Cynthia, along with their sons Richard, Robert and David, take turns reflecting on some of the dizzy highs and crushing lows that have made them who they are today: champion livestock breeders, TV stars and – above all – devoted farmers.

  Henry Beeching (1859–1919), Dean of Norwich, was the quintessential Man of Letters. A popular preacher and active for the cause of reform in the Church, he was also a poet, eminent scholar and a widely read journalist. Seen through the spectrum of national issues and challenges, Peter Fanning highlights Beeching’s wide appeal both as a Christian thinker, literary scholar and a humourist. Many of the most celebrated scholars, poets and clergy were friends and correspondents; amongst them was the enduring relationship with his uncle, the poet Robert Bridges. Above all, Henry Beeching was a literary scholar and lover of Shakespeare who married this passion to a love of God.
  
   
  A contemporary journalist wrote that Henry Beeching was “widely known as a poet, preacher and professor. Many men are content to make a reputation in any one of these department. Mr Beeching has made a mark in each.” It is the breadth of his interests and achievements that is unusual. This first full-length biography covers Beeching's character and his many interests and achievements, from the satirical and scandalous “Balliol epigrams” to sermons during the First World War and the creation of the Memorial Chapel at Norwich Cathedral.

  "Kasher in the Rye" by Moshe Kasher is a hilarious memoir of the life of rising comedian Moshe Kasher, who survived a tumultuous journey through addiction, psychoanalysis, and a chaotic childhood. From his early drug use at age 12 to stints in mental institutions and a move to Oakland initiated by his unconventional mother, Kasher's life reads like a mix of Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris, with a strong Jewish twist. Despite the harrowing experiences, the book finds humor in the darkest moments, offering a brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny perspective on a turbulent life.
