We are all wild. It’s just that
civilisation keeps getting in the way
SIMON BARNES
Bestselling author of How to be a Bad Birdwatcher
As everyone who has patted a dog, smelled a
rose, taken a walk, or even had a drink in the
garden well knows, humans have a soul-deep
need for non-human forms of life. This book is
about pushing our birthright of wildness just
that little bit further.
In How to be Wild, Barnes takes us on a yearlong journey, from one raucous spring to the
next, with elephants and mosquitoes, dolphins
and flying squirrels, giraffes and butterflies as his
companions. And again and again, he helps us to
realise an essential truth: that by enjoying the
wild world, by seeking to understand the wild
world, our own lives become richer and more
satisfying.
‘Barnes is a poet of
the unexpected lifting
of the heart.’
PJ Kavanagh
Simon Barnes is the multi-awardwinning chief sportswriter for the
Times. He is also a novelist, nature
writer and horseman, and the
bestselling author of a dozen books,
including How to be a Bad Birdwatcher
and The Meaning of Sport (Short
Books). He lives in Suffolk with his
family.
‘This book – packed
with so much insight
and so many descriptions
of wildlife encounters
always right on the
button – leaves little

The Inner Life of Numbers
ANDREW HODGES
What does A4 paper have in common with
Mozart’s Requiem? Why does three have a dark
side? Was zero discovered or invented?
With searching questions such as these,
Andrew Hodges takes apart the numbers 1 to 9
and gathers up the pieces, exploring on the way
such various topics as musical harmony, the
chemistry of sunflowers and the logic of the
game Paper, Scissors, Stone.
In One to Nine, Hodges unveils a universal
language which has its roots in antiquity and yet
enables us to connect with the far reaches of
the universe. Whether it is explaining how
subatomic particles behave or challenging you to
the ultimate sudoku puzzle, this is a book which
succeeds in making the unfathomable enticing.
Andrew Hodges is best known as
the author of Alan Turing: The Enigma,
described by the New Yorker as 'one of
the finest scientific biographies ever
written'. He is also active in research
into fundamental physics and a Fellow
of Wadham College, Oxford University.

Au g u s t
'The ideal book for
everyone interested in the
only universal language,
especially if their
mathematical curiosity
exceeds their skill...'
Sunday Telegraph
'Hodges is very good at
pulling numerical rabbits
out of every day hats… You
can skip through the facts
like a tourist, marvelling at
the sights thrust in your
path and still feeling
impressed by the principles
that underpin them, even
when the technical detail
eludes you.'
Daily Mail
'A virtuoso stream of
consciousness containing
everything important there
is to say about numbers in
just over 300 pages...'

How to become a Latin lover
HARRY MOUNT
Over 100,000 copies sold in hardback worldwide
Have you ever found yourself irritated when a
sine qua non or a mea culpa is thrown into the
conversation by a particularly annoying person?
Or do distant memories of afternoons spent
struggling to learn obscure verbs fill you with
dread?
Never fear! (or as a Latin show-off might say,
Nil Desperandum!)
In this delightful guided tour of Latin –
featuring everything from a Monty Python
grammar lesson to David Beckham’s tattoos and
all the best snippets of prose and poetry from
2000 years of literary history – Harry Mount
wipes the dust off those boring primers and
breathes life back into the greatest language of
them all.
Harry Mount read Classics at Oxford
and was a Latin tutor before becoming
a journalist. He has been a leaderwriter and New York correspondent at
the Daily Telegraph. His memoir of his
time as a barrister’s pupil, My Brief
Career, is also published by Short
Books.

The best of 50 years of letters to
Britain’s favourite children’s programme
BIDDY BAXTER
And now for something completely different...
Blue Peter, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in
October this year, means something to children of
every generation from the 1960s onwards –
whether it’s the theme tune, the pets, the stickyback plastic, or the legendary mishaps.
But one little known aspect of the programme
is the extraordinary correspondence it generated
almost from the day that John Noakes, Valerie
Singleton and co. first went on air. By the late
1980s, Blue Peter was receiving an average of
7,000 letters per week.
In this wonderfully entertaining book, Biddy
Baxter – the programme’s founding editor, and
the woman who invented the Blue Peter badge to
encourage children to write in with ideas,
pictures and stories – introduces some of the very
best letters received. Original, engrossing, funny
– and sometimes remarkably rude – they provide
a unique snapshot of life in the second half of the
20th century, of people from all over Britain (and
beyond) and children of every conceivable
background.
Biddy Baxter was the editor of Blue
Peter, from 1962 to 1988. She was
awarded a gold badge herself when
she left the programme.

Dear Blue Peter
I couldn’t believe my ears
this morning – my mum
said come down stairs
Wendy – there’s a letter for
you – I couldn’t believe it
had come from Blue Peter
and I had won a badge! I
took my letter to school to
show to my teacher – Mr
Herbert – he said “Not now
Wendy” but when he saw it
was from the BBC he said
“Oh alright”. He read it once,
he read it twice and then he
read it again – then he said
“My goodness” and took it
to the Head Mistress Mrs
Smith.
Mrs Smith read my letter
to the whole of the school at
Assembly – she said it was
the first time anyone from
school had had a letter from
the BBC.
I’ll never forget the day I
won my badge!
Wendy, aged 10

Two’s a crowd when you’ve been top dog
STEPHEN FOSTER
Over 100,000 copies of WALKING OLLIE sold so far!
Having cured (well, just about...) his rescue dog
Ollie of his neuroses and crackpot habits,
Stephen Foster might have been expected to take
a break. In Foster’s view though, there was still
something missing from his dog’s world: Ollie
needed a playmate, someone to talk to, someone
to understand him.
‘If you must get another one, at least get a
girl,’ everybody said. But Dylan is a boy, a pure
Saluki boy. And he’s a lunatic. The moment the
new pup walked in the door, Ollie threw his
master a look of contemptuous disbelief. It was a
look that said,‘I refuse to have anything whatsoever
to do with this.You’re on your own, pal.’
In the riotously funny Along came Dylan,
Stephen Foster picks up where Walking Ollie
left off. Instead of one difficult dog, he’s got two.
Where Ollie sees a threat, Dylan sees a challenge
– and Foster finds himself forever somewhere in
the middle, trying to work out why they can’t
just all be friends...
Stephen Foster is the author of six
books including the bestselling
Walking Ollie (Short 2007) which has
sold more than 100,000 copies. He
lives in Norwich with his partner and
his two dogs, Ollie and Dylan.

PRAISE FOR
WALKING OLLIE:
‘Ollie is trouble. But he is
also a joy. So is reading
about him. Walking Ollie is
the best book about a dog
for... let us say eight years.’
Roy Hattersley, Guardian
‘Foster’s wrily perceptive
book perfectly illustrates
the truism that the only
thing wrong with dogs is
their owners...’

A journey of discovery with a
rather remarkable mare
SIMON BARNES
Bestselling author of How to be a Bad Birdwatcher
‘All I can say is that there was something – right from the first.
She was not a My Little Pony sort of a horse, not a dolly-girl,
not winsome and winning, not even terribly pretty.
A stubby little mare, bright bay with remarkably large
ears. A white star in her forehead shaped like Madagascar. A
huge arse; which is good, not bad, because that’s where the
power comes from. Not a horse that would turn heads, no,
just a very horse-like horse. She stood, quiet, docile, as I
approached her. I was a bit disappointed not to be offered
something more lively. Ha. I placed a foot in the iron and
swung on board... It was as if I had turned a key: all the lights
came on. In that single instant, the horse came alive. She
started buzzing.To tell the truth, I was a little alarmed: a little
intimidated. This was definitely rather more horse than I was
expecting...’
In Head Over Heels, Simon Barnes – with his trademark
humour, wisdom and delight in all things wild – takes us on a
journey of discovery, as he builds a life-changing, lifeenhancing friendship with his beloved bay mare.
Simon Barnes is the multi-awardwinning chief sportswriter for the
Times. He is also a novelist, nature
writer and horseman, and the
bestselling author of a dozen books,
including How to be a Bad Birdwatcher
and The Meaning of Sport. He lives in

A Man’s Guide to Ironing, Dusting and
Other Household Chores
ANDREW MARTIN
Martin is surprisingly well qualified to write a
guide to housework for men. Not only is he a
man himself, but he does a lot about the house.
On purely humanitarian grounds he recently
took over some of the ironing from his wife; he
then branched out into bath-cleaning, dusting,
washing up after dinner (when he wasn’t going
out), vacuuming (when the hoover was
working), and loading the washing machine
completely unaided.
For the purposes of this book, Martin has
interviewed many experts. The fruits of his
research include the answers to such burning
questions as: ‘Do I Need to Bother about the
Controls on the Iron?’ ‘Is Dust Dangerous?’ and
‘What is All That Stuff at the Bottom of the
Laundry Basket?’
How to Get Things Really Flat will amuse and
instruct any man, forced at gunpoint by his
significant other to read it.
Andrew Martin trained as a barrister
before becoming a journalist and
novelist. His seven novels include five
titles featuring the young Edwardian
detective, Jim Stringer. He has also
written short stories and radio plays.
He is married with two children, and
lives in Highgate.

Everything you need to know about the
greatest civilisation that ever was
CHARLOTTE HIGGINS
Why are some laws draconian? What is an
Achilles heel? Why were the Spartans spartan?
Charlotte Higgins answers all these questions
and more in this indispensable guide to the
greatest civilisation the world has ever known.
Consider the way we think: about right and
wrong, about the nature of beauty, goodness,
and truth. About what, in the end, it is to be a
human being amid the immensity of the
universe. What it is to be mortal, to live for a
brief while, and die. All this we have learned
from the ancient Greeks. They moulded the
basic disciplines and genres in which we still
organise thought: from poetry to drama, from
politics to philosophy, from history to medicine,
and even ethnography.
Packed with useful cribs – history timelines;
mythology for dummies; even a map for those
who struggle to know their Lemnos from their
Lesbos – It’s All GreekTo Me is a bluffer’s guide in
one sense; but it is much more than that. This
book aims to unlock the richness of Greek
culture and place it where it should be, in the
mainstream of life.
Charlotte Higgins has been the
Guardian’s arts correspondent since
2004. She is the author of Latin Love
Lessons (Short Books, 2007). Charlotte
studied classics at Balliol College,
Oxford. She lives in London.

From Newcastle United to Plymouth Argyle
– a fan’s guide to the 92 football league
clubs of England and Wales
MAX VELODY
Watching football, thinking football... okay you
may not play much but whether you’re a
supporter glued to the telly, or a dedicated away
fan prepared to travel hundreds of miles to
grotty towns in drizzle to watch your team win,
draw or lose, you’re always hoping for – always
dreaming of – joy.
Can We Play You Every Week? is the essential
guide to the 92 football league clubs of England
and Wales – providing fans with everything they
want to know. A must-buy for anyone with the
love of our national sport running through their
veins – or even those married to one.
.
Max Velody is old enough to be paying
precisely 40,000% more for a ticket to
his home club than he did as a kid. He
considers himself a failure both as a
husband and father because of the
variety of football scarves of differing
colours hanging in his hallway. Bovril is
Max’s half-time beverage of choice and
he worries it is going out of fashion.
He is a TV News Editor.
