Other titles from Notting Hill Editions* Beneath My Feet: Writers on Walking Introduced and edited by Duncan Minshull This anthology rounds up the most memorable walker-writers from the 1300s to the modern day, from country hikers to urban strollers. All of them analyse our need to put one foot in front of the other. Follow in the footsteps of Virginia Woolf, George Sand, Rebecca Solnit, and many more. A Twitch Upon the Thread: Writers on Fishing Introduced and edited by Jon Day The writers collected here use angling as a way to write about love, loss, faith, and obsession. As Virginia Woolf observed, such writing lifts the body ‘out of the chair, stands it on the bank of a river, and strikes it dumb.’ Includes contributions from Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Jerome K. Jerome, Arthur Ransome, and dozens more. On Christmas: A Seasonal Anthology Introduced by Gyles Brandreth A selection of Christmas-themed writings to savour during the highs and lows of Christmas Day. Includes selections from writers old and new, including Dostoevsky, Dickens, A.A. Milne, C.S. Lewis, and Ali Smith. On Dolls Edited by Kenneth Gross The essays in this collection explore the seriousness of play and the mysteries of inanimate life. Includes contributions from Baudelaire, Rilke, Kafka and Freud.
