    Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Book of the Year 2025A Financial Times best summer travel book of 2024Travel Book of the Year at the Inspire Global Media Awards 
    'A powerfully delicate book of love, loss and discovery, along paths of emotional understanding and physical wonder.' Raynor Winn 
    On an assignment to walk the most famous pilgrimage in the world – the Camino de Santiago, in northern Spain – Phoebe Smith somehow lost her way. 
    Having spent a lifetime exploring unfamiliar places, she quit her dream job, ended her long-term relationship and headed home to North Wales to discover the point to… everything. 
    In her search for answers she found herself – quite by accident – walking some of Britain’s oldest pilgrim paths. And by following these old ways, she ended up confronting past traumas that she thought she had laid to rest. 
    But while it follows holy trails, this is not a book about religion. From losing her mother as a teenager to surviving toxic relationships, Phoebe offers an unflinchingly honest look at her battle with an eating disorder, depression, and the pitfalls of newfound singledom. 
    Skilfully weaving together Phoebe’s own story with those of countless travellers past and present, Wayfarer reveals how nature and place can heal past wounds, offering a pathway to salvation she’d never thought existed. 
    In this award-winning autobiography, Smith takes us on a journey through Europe, her words painting vivid images of the walks and hikes she undertakes. Her memoirs are not just travelogues, but essays of self-discovery and healing. 
    For fans of Raynor Winn (Landlines), Stephen Neale (The South West Coast Path), Will Millard (The Way of the Hermit), Steve Davison (15 Short Walks on Dartmoor North), and Daniel Start (Wild Guide Lake District and Yorkshire Dales).

    Not all love is the same, which is one of the most peculiar truths in life. Your Love is as unique as the individual you feel it for. I think that’s one of the greatest paradoxes we will live through. It seems to me, there is little choice in how big it is, or how hard it hits. There’s no telling what it will do to you when you enter the arena, and that is why it can be a force we sometimes fight; because it has felt like a battle we’ve lost before. 
    Although it feels like you are powerless in Love, you aren’t powerless at the end of Love. You choose whether or not big Love crushes you, or if it shrinks for you to carry it in your pocket as a reminder of the greatness it once was. The desire to not be destroyed by Love is where I am. 
    This is a story of 14 days that coincided with my 40th birthday and a time I fell in Love. It was through a difficult turn of events that I got to step away from my uncomfortable life to experience turning 40 in Mexico; with someone I didn’t just love, but who I liked. So this is also a story about the importance of falling in Like. 
    For a long time I said if I ever shared this story, I’d have to call it fiction because it feels so personal. But eventually I realized it made more sense to just admit: it’s me. I’m the quiet naive girl in these pages who had barely begun to know herself and didn’t know how to communicate as well as she thought she did. I’m the one who was learning that Love can be complicated; while seeming simple to me. 
    One of the greatest lessons anyone learns, is knowing what it feels like to fall in love and experience connection. That was my greatest benefit; because I have been able to use that measure of connection ever since. One can break and fall apart in many ways, but it’s my opinion that until big love breaks you, a level of innocence remains. After that, you decide whether or not big love heals you. For me, it took this little trip of 14 days to finally benefit from the long journey of 40 years.

    Xia Dynasty - The Myth and...

    The Xia Dynasty is often considered the first dynasty of China, marking the transition from a prehistoric era dominated by tribal alliances to a structured monarchy. However, much of what is known about the Xia comes from ancient texts written centuries later, blurring the line between history and legend. At the heart of this foundation myth is Yu the Great, a figure credited with taming the catastrophic floods that once plagued the Yellow River region. 
    According to traditional accounts, China before the Xia was ruled by the Five Emperors, semi-mythical sages who brought order and knowledge to early societies. The final ruler of this period, Emperor Shun, recognized Yu for his brilliance and appointed him to control the devastating floods that had threatened agricultural settlements for generations. Unlike his predecessors, who attempted to block or divert the waters, Yu devised a system of dredging and canal-building that allowed the floodwaters to drain naturally into rivers and the sea. His efforts reportedly took over a decade, during which he traveled across the land, surveying the terrain and directing large-scale labor projects. His selfless dedication won him the admiration of the people, and his success in flood control cemented his reputation as a leader with the Mandate of Heaven. 
    The concept of the Mandate of Heaven, though later fully developed under the Zhou Dynasty, has its roots in the Xia period. It suggested that rulers were chosen by divine will and that their legitimacy depended on their ability to maintain order and prosperity. Yu's ability to tame the floods demonstrated both his virtue and his right to rule. Upon Emperor Shun’s abdication, Yu became the first king of the Xia Dynasty, establishing a hereditary monarchy that would continue for generations.

    Egyptian mythology is a vast and intricate belief system that shaped the religious and cultural identity of ancient Egypt for thousands of years. Rooted in a deep connection with nature, the cosmos, and the divine, these myths provided explanations for the creation of the world, the role of gods, and the afterlife. Unlike other mythologies, Egyptian beliefs were not static; they evolved over time, adapting to political changes and regional influences while maintaining core spiritual principles. 
    The origins of Egyptian mythology can be traced back to the early dynastic period, though many of its concepts likely predate written history. Ancient Egyptians believed that the universe emerged from a primordial chaos, giving rise to powerful deities who shaped the world. Myths were recorded on temple walls, tombs, and papyrus scrolls, serving both religious and educational purposes. These stories were not merely symbolic; they were deeply woven into daily life, influencing laws, traditions, and the duties of rulers. 
    The geography of Egypt played a crucial role in shaping its mythology. The Nile River, essential for agriculture and survival, became a central symbol of life and renewal, often associated with gods like Osiris and Hapi. The vast deserts surrounding Egypt were seen as chaotic and dangerous, embodying forces of disorder such as the god Set. The sun’s daily journey across the sky was one of the most significant celestial events, leading to the worship of Ra, the sun god, as a dominant figure in Egyptian religious thought.
