Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richerTravel opens our minds to the world; it helps us to embrace risk and uncertainty, overcome challenges and understand the people we meet and the places we visit. But what happens when we arrive home? How do our experiences shape us?The Kindness of Strangers explores what it means to be vulnerable and to be helped by someone we've never met before. Someone who could have walked past, but chose not to.This is a collection of stories by accomplished travellers and adventurous souls like Sarah Outen, Benedict Allen, Ed Stafford and Al Humphreys, who have completed daring journeys through challenging terrain, adventuring from the Calais Jungle to the Amazon, from Land's End to the Gobi Desert, from New Guinea to Iran and many other places in between. Each has a story to tell of a time when they were vulnerable, when they were in need and a kind stranger came to their rescue.These are stories that make our hearts grow, stories that will restore our faith in the world and remind us that, despite what the media says, the world isn't a scary place - rather, it is filled with Kind Strangers just like us.All royalties go directly to fund Oxfam's work with refugees.

Edited and co-ordinated by Sarah Lowndes, Like The Sea I Think is an enthralling collection of new marine writing from East Anglia gathered from library workshops and open submissions held across the region. It is wonderfully designed, as always, by Emily Benton, and available as a memento and inspiration for all those living by, inspired by, or curious about, the sea. It is our provider, our enemy, our defender, our gateway to the world; it defines our borders, informs our imaginations, it inspires our artists. The anthology features an incredible range of writing styles, subject matter, and authors; the youngest featured is 11, the eldest 87. The perfect companion on a Norfolk coastal walk punctuated by warm coffee shops and local pubs.The volume includes 55 contributions from Viv Allen • Roy Ballard • Molly Bernardin • Neil Bousfield • Erin Bradshaw • Bev Broadhead • Tess Carruthers • David Cochrane • Louise Cole • Ruthie Collins • Mireia Molina Costa • Jade Cuttle • Janet Ellis • Cathy Erlam • Rose Evison • Jessica D’Alton Goode • Rachel Goodman • Mirabel Greaves • Chloe Hambly • Cate McKay Haynes • Sarah Hudis • Barrie de Lara • Jeni Lawes • Imogen Lea • Patricia Jane Lee • Stephanie Lillie • Angie Maddigan • George Mahood • Pip Mattich • Hillary Mellon • Jane Mills • Lloyd Mills • Jess Morgan • Lindsay Nash • Molly Naylor • Eoghan O’Maolain • Anna Opara • Sebastian Owen • Maria Pavledis • Clare Peed • Jon Platten • Simeon Ralph • Thogdin Ripley • Holly Sandiford • Gaia Shaw • Graham Sillett • James Smart • Robert F.W.

George Mahood returns with another brilliantly daft collection of true stories about family life, running, adventure, and the strange situations that normal days somehow have a habit of turning into.Inside, you'll find touchline drama at youth football, a bizarre meditation session, a reverse London Marathon, a Golden Ticket, a speed awareness course, family chaos, and plenty of long walks and runs that didn't quite go to plan.Honest, relatable and laugh-out-loud funny, Running Out of Road is about finding adventure in ordinary life – often when you least expect it.Books in the Reconnecting… series can be enjoyed in any order.
