Wild Enthusiasm - A Very British Safari

Steve Wright

Sinossi

No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  
The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  
Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  
But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.

Writing Landscape

Linda Cracknell

Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and time. 
Linda Cracknell is a writer of place and nature who believes in being alert, observing, and writing from the particulars of each experience. Engaging bodily with her writing, she is someone for whom getting mud on her boots, sleeping high up in the hills, or being slapped by salt water can all be part of her process. She follows Susan Sontag's advice to “Love words, agonize over sentences and pay attention to the world.”  
In this varied collection of essays, Linda backpacks on a small island that is connected to the mainland at low tide, musing on the nineteenth-century Scottish writer whose character was shipwrecked there. She hikes the wooded mountain trail close to her home in winter snow—a place she is intimately familiar with in all weathers and seasons—and she retraces the steps of a multiday hike made almost seven decades after her parents trod the route together. She explores her inspirations, in nature and from other artists and their work.  
Reading this collection will open your eyes to the world around you and how you can observe, take note, and later commit those notes and memories to written pieces that will evoke the place and time.

Spid the Spider is Easy Spider

John Eaton

Spid the Spider has often dreamed of owning a smart, shiny, loud Darley Havidson motorbike. But what Spid wants isn’t always what’s best for him – especially when it leads to him making big
decisions too quickly. After all, if something seems too good to be true, could that be because it is? With plenty of surprises under the saddle, Spid finds himself zooming into a hilarious misadventure full of U-turns, bumps, and life lessons.
This sixteenth Spid the Spider adventure is a fun and funny story with gentle lessons in financial literacy, decision-making, and resilience—ideal for home or classroom reading.
With catchy songs, clever wordplay, and a heartwarming message about money, mistakes, and making the best of things, Spid the Spider Is Easy Spider is perfect for 5–10s—and anyone who’s ever wanted something just a little too much.
Spid is a role model for children. He’s a hard-working, cool, and funny spider, who makes mistakes, but learns from them. He helps children embrace what psychologists call a ‘growth mindset’ - a determination to better oneself and succeed. All books are supported by free parent and teacher resources to entertain and inspire children, helping them learn. These include a 'decision making flowchart.
Two songs also feature in the book; ‘Easy Spider’ and ‘Motorcycle Melancholy’. ‘Easy Spider’ is a rock ‘n’ roll banger, with a catchy electric guitar riff. It echoes the freedom of driving on
open roads “I’m a real cool rider, I’m an Easy Spider”. ‘Motorcycle Melancholy’ is a song about lost love, love lost though the high cost of maintaining Spid’s bike, and his mistakes in cutting corners. It has a mesmerising accordion section.
