These stories are a wonderful way for children to explore one of nature's most fascinating mysteries--the instinctive compulsion for animals to migrate over large distances. With poetic text and stunning illustrations, these tales evoke the majestic environments that each animal inhabits. Two tiny swallows, Skimmer and Sweet Claw, have flown over a long distance to raise their young brood in the exact same nest they built last year. Now it is time for them to leave the cold, autumnal winds of northern Europe and return to the warmth and plenty of South Africa.

From the slums of Cape Town to the palaces of Algiers, through Pygmy villages where pineapples grow wild, to the Gulf of Guinea where the sea blazes with oil flares, across two continents and fourteen countries - this epic journey is nothing to swallows, they do it twice a year. But for Horatio Clare, writer and birdwatcher, it is the expedition of a lifetime. Along the way he discovers old empires and modern tribes, a witch-doctor's recipe for stewed swallow, explains how to travel without money or a passport, and describes a terrifying incident involving three Spanish soldiers and a tiny orange dog. By trains, motorbikes, canoes, one camel and three ships, Clare follows the swallows from reed beds in South Africa, where millions roost in February, to a barn in Wales, where a pair nest in May.

Swallows are widely spread across the five continents and their coming back in the skies, at the end of their annual migration route, marks the change of season in the collective imagination. In this coloring book, featuring drawings by Sara Muzio, an artist with a ten-year-long experience in graphic and design, you will follow a swallow's journey all over the world and discover different environments. This black-and-white bird will link all pages, while the various environments will be represented by animals and plants drawn in silhouette, figures that together will mark the boundaries of the region where the swallow will be traveling. Rich in precious details and elegant in style, these drawings can be coloured in pencil or marker pen according to your personal fantasy and taste, spending many free hours in a very relaxing and pleasant activity. To top it off, there is a game in the game: in every drawing you can find another animal hidden in the page. Your achievement through colours, being so unique and personal, can be proudly displayed and will represent an antidote to everyday stress.

From the bestselling author of The Robin, The Wren and The Twelve Birds of Christmas. With around 700,000 breeding pairs, the swallow is one of the most familiar birds in Britain. Though we consider the swallow to be 'our' bird, we also share this beloved creature with millions of others across the globe. Whilst we see it on a daily basis for half the year, the swallow then flies south to Africa, living on only in our memory in the long, dark winter. In The Swallow Stephen Moss documents a year of observing the swallow close to home and in the field to shed light on the secret life of this extraordinary bird. We trace the swallow's life cycle and journey, including the epic 12,000-mile round trip it takes every year, to enable it to enjoy a life of almost eternal sunshine, and the key part the swallow plays in our traditional and popular culture. With beautiful illustrations throughout, this captivating year-in-the-life biography reveals the hidden secrets of this charismatic and beautiful bird. PRAISE FOR STEPHEN MOSS: 'A superb naturalist and writer' Chris Packham 'Inspired, friendly and blessed with apparently limitless knowledge' Peter Marren 'Moss has carved out an enviable niche as a chronicler of the natural world' Daily Mail

Three women fight for the chance to raise the child they've all come to love When Lilia Swallow's husband, Graham, goes into remission after a challenging year of treatment for lymphoma, the home and lifestyle blogger throws a party. Their best friends and colleagues attend to celebrate his recovery, but just as the party is in full swing, a new guest arrives. She presents Lilia with a beautiful baby boy, and vanishes. Toby is Graham's darkest secret – his son, conceived in a moment of despair. Lilia is utterly unprepared for the betrayal the baby represents, and perhaps more so for the love she begins to feel once her shock subsides. Now this unasked–for, precious gift becomes a life–changer for three women: Lilia, who takes him into her home and heart; Marina, who bore and abandoned him until circumstance and grief change her mind; and Ellen, who sees in him a chance to correct the mistakes she made with her own son, Toby's father. A custody battle begins, and each would–be mother must examine her heart, confront her choices and weigh her dreams against the fate of one vulnerable little boy. Each woman will redefine family, belonging and love – and the results will alter the course of not only their lives, but also the lives of everyone they care for.

This story will take you on a rollercoaster ride of adventure and heartbreak, desperation and eventual success but always with a deeper spiritual message as the common thread. This poignant and brutally honest memoir is set against a backdrop of laugh-until-you-cry humour and of emotion which touches the very core. It is a real against all odds story of the underdog, seemingly down and out for the count, face in the mud, battling for breath. But then the devilish Celtic warrior spirit rizes from the ashes as you get to glimpse into the eye of a man who has a fury in his heart and a desire to succeed no matter what is thrown at him. You get to travel from the streets of Cardiff to the sunny suburbs of Johannesburg in an enthralling story. At times it makes you smile with familiarity, on other occasions you are holding your sides with laughter. The sadder parts of the story are not to be read in public unless you have waterproof mascara or a potential excuse for hayfever. The story of Liam OConner is as varied as it is sensitive but underneath it all is still the little red haired boy, full of mischief and ambition. So if youre ready, get a cup of tea and a biscuit and go on a holiday of the mind. This is a must read.
