More than just scenic landscapes, these parks are revealed as rich tapestries woven with Native American folklore, historical mysteries, and documented unexplained events.

For instance, the book examines the deep connection between Yosemite and the legends of the Ahwahneechee people, offering a poignant example of this interwoven history.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with the foundational role of indigenous stories and beliefs, then moving into documented park mysteries. By examining historical records, park ranger accounts, and visitor experiences, the book presents a balanced perspective on park legends.

 
What sets Ancient Park Legends apart is its commitment to factual evidence, distinguishing between verifiable events and speculation. This approach provides readers with a deeper, more informed appreciation for the historical and cultural significance of these treasured American parks.

News from Tartary - A Journey...

Peter Fleming

News from Tartary is the account of an illegal journey from Peking to Kashmir in 1935. The physical resilience which took companions Fleming and Ella Maillart across some of the world's most inaccessible mountains and deserts was matched by their bravery and luck. China was caught up in a vicious civil war, and local Muslim warlords were allying themselves with Soviet Russia. None of the foreign journalists who had attempted to report from the region in the previous eight years had come out alive. The relationship between Peter (foreign correspondent for The Times) and the adventurous Swiss traveller Ella becomes a source of gentle fascination. For beneath their easygoing charm, both had that sliver of ice required of a writer and had already travelled alone in the region, setting down their earlier adventures in One's Company and Turkestan Solo.

Tides and Timezones

Reece Davis

Between the pull of the tides and the drift of the clock lies the rhythm of a traveler’s life. 
In Tides and Timezones, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis explores how constant movement changes not only where we are — but who we become. From sleepless nights beneath foreign skies to quiet dawns spent in transit, Davis reflects on how time stretches and bends across continents, and how memory anchors us when everything else is in motion. 
Through poignant stories, vivid landscapes, and moments of stillness amid the rush, Davis examines what it means to carry fragments of the world within us — and how, over time, travel becomes less about escape and more about return. 
Elegant, meditative, and profoundly human, Tides and Timezones is a love letter to the fleeting, timeless art of wandering.
