'Utterly beguiling' Joanna Trollope

A selection of Janet Frame's stories, many never before published in this country.

The true story of a pioneering sailor who travelled the world at the end of the 18th century. The Scottish-born John Nichol circumnavigated the globe, visiting every inhabited continent, and participating in many of the greatest events of exploration and adventure.

'Fludd' is a dark fable of lost faith, mysterious omens and awakening love set among the priests and nuns of a surreal English town deep in the northern moors.

Celibate, irreproachable and distinguished, Thomas Cavendish is in his mid-fifties and the obvious man to become Master of his college. But, walking by the river, Thomas sees a young girl standing on the bridge. It is an apocalyptic vision, one that alters his life irrevocably and tragically, but with the beauty of joy of a love never imagined.

A novel from the author of Honour Thy Father .
