A few things in publishers' recent catalogues and newsletters have caught my eye:
From Yale Books, The Classical Music Lover's Companion to Orchestral Music by Robert Philip - and see the accompanying playlist. Also, Christina Rossetti: Poetry in Art by Susan Owens and Nicholas Tromans.
Oxford University Press are currently offering a 30% discount on books on their website; perhaps a title or two from their excellent Oxford World's Classics might fill a gap on your shelves? To delve a little deeper there are some audio guides, too.
From Vintage Books, some titles with a Christmas theme; given the subject of yesterday's post, I might be asking Santa for The Robin: A Biography by Stephen Moss.
From Penguin Classics, The Beauty of Everyday Things by Soetsu Yanagi; "have nothing in your houses ...".
From the British Library, A History of Children's Books in 100 Books by Roderick Cave and Sara Ayad.
From John Murray, A Shepherd at the Edge of the World by Steinunn Sigurðardóttir out in April, and Monty Don's Japanese Gardens - with photographs by Derry Moore - in March.
And from Bloomsbury, A Black Fox Running by Brian Carter, a 'lost classic' of nature writing first published in 1981, and described here as "remarkable".
