  What do you do for a fifth anniversary? We decided to have a collection of short works with a difference. We challenged our readers to find any short works which had 'five' in the title - in any language. They have done us proud, and the collection extends to three volumes of short stories, poems, fairy tales, memoirs, non-fiction and bible readings, in six languages.  This is the first volume.

  This anthology of essays, poetry and photography offers an intimate view of this iconic Rust Belt city—“one of the best books about Buffalo ever created” (Buffalo News). Buffalo, New York, embodies a rich and varied history encompassing power, disappointment, artistic flair, racial injustice, and spicy chicken wings—all with Niagara Falls in its backyard. Told through the eyes of more than sixty-five artists, writers, and residents, Right Here, Right Now offer an unblinking, personal portrait of this often-overlooked city, capturing both its good and bad sides. Edited by Jody K. Biehl, contributions from Wolf Blitzer, Lauren Belfer, Marv Levy, John Lombardo, Mary Ramsey, Robby Takac, and many more show why so many people love calling Buffalo home. Here, you’ll encounter:  Frederick Law Olmstead’s impact on the city’s early design  The pain and joy of biking through Lake Effect snow  Racism in a gentrifying city and city planning initiatives  The rise and fall of the Buffalo mafia  A trip to a Western New York meat raffle.

  The Maiden Stone (NHB Modern Plays)

  A wild and fantastical tale set in nineteenth-century north-east Scotland.
  Winner of the first ever Peggy Ramsay Award
  Down-on-her-luck, out-of-work actress Harriet and her family are wandering the roads of Scotland looking for food, shelter, and the opportunity to perform. But they are not the only ones travelling the highways and byways – there's tinker and storyteller Bidie along with her family, always looking for a break; and the dangerously beguiling stranger Nick, whose presence on the road just might be more of a curse than a blessing...
  'a wild rumbustious mix of fantasy and fable, it has all the rough edges and monstrous scope of a work of genius – frighteningly good' - Scotsman
  'a vigorous and appealing play about the travails of Harriet, an early 19th-century actress, and her family – this play reveals the life of an actress as an astonishing test of physical stamina' - Observer
