    'Fantastic' – James O'Brien 
    The brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare 
    'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend 
    The brightest heaven of pretention! 
    A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act, 
    Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’ 
    So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play. 
    In five acts that take in five prime ministers, The Tories: A Tragedy is a captivatingly realised Jacobean tragedy, replete with Machiavellian manoeuvrings, hilarious mechanicals and poignant verse. Publishing in the shadow of the most significant election since the Tories came to power in 2010, this exhilarating, original book is an alternative history of a disastrous reign – a drama that will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, and those who simply love to laugh at the Tory party. 
    With a keen eye for parodies and humor, Morris masterfully weaves ideologies of conservatism and liberalism into a theater of politics. His playwriting process, a performing art in itself, brings to life the parties and their top players in a non-fiction narrative that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. 
    For fans of Robert Jobson (Diana), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Richard Osman (The World Cup Of Everything), The Secret Barrister (Nothing But The Truth), and Tina Brown (The Palace Papers).

    Way Out There is an account of J. Robert Harris's extraordinary exploits while backpacking in some of the world's most tantalizing places―largely alone and unsupported. His stories are by turns funny, tragic, and uplifting, and are all told in his down‐to‐earth, friendly style.For J. R., it all began in 1966 when, as a young New Yorker, he impulsively drives his VW Beetle across the country to the very end of the northernmost road in Alaska, searching for an answer to a simple question: What is it like to be way out there? How this happened, whom he met, and what he encountered along the way became the foundation for a lifelong attraction to trekking and adventure travel. Subsequent chapters chronologically explore some of his many journeys, revealing an enduring wanderlust honed by his emerging maturity and outdoor skills. Stories of J. R.'s solo treks point to stark contrasts between his urban upbringing and his wilderness wanderings, while tales of adventure with small but diverse groups of friends are enriched by their collective experiences and varying viewpoints about exploration.Way Out There is a lively yet introspective book by a restless soul that will attract countless listeners who love to travel, as well as armchair adventurers and communities looking for outdoor role models.
