Cowslip was on the auction block. The year was 1861 and a war had begun, but it meant little to a frightened black girl still at the mercy of whites. An old slave at her former home had taught her magic spells to use against the cruel Master, who in his heartlessness had given Cowslip her name as a practical joke. But all those spells were no good to her now. The spunky and charming heroine of this fast-paced novel faces the adventures, humiliations and sorrows of her new life with a characteristic skeptism that gives her courage.

"It's up to every single one of us to do our bit for wildlife, however small our gardens, and The Butterfly Brothers know just how that can be achieved." Alan Titchmarsh Join the rewilding movement and share your outdoor space with nature. We all have the potential to make the world a little greener. Wild Your Garden, written by Jim and Joel Ashton (aka "The Butterfly Brothers"), shows you how to create a garden that can help boost local biodiversity. Transform a paved-over yard into a lush oasis, create refuges to welcome and support native species, or turn a high-maintenance lawn into a nectar-rich mini-meadow to attract bees and butterflies. You don't need specialist knowledge or acres of land. If you have any outdoor space, you can make a difference to local wildlife, and reduce your carbon footprint, too. "Wildlife gardening is one of the most important things you can do as an individual for increasing biodiversity and mitigating the effects of climate change. From digging a pond to planting a native hedge, the Butterfly Brothers can help you every step of the way." Kate Bradbury
