Marino, author of Mastering Italian Breads, is the heir to a centuries-old grain-milling family in Italy and the star of Italy’s most popular television baking shows. He is unrivalled in his knowledge of and appreciation for the great breads of Italy and Europe. About a decade ago, he set out to diversify his repertoire of breads to include the entire world—for bread, after all, has been enjoyed everywhere for millennia.

Today, he is among the most recognised bakers in Italy and the world.

Unlock the hidden language of tarot through a stunning visual journey into the symbols behind every card.

Created by internationally bestselling tarot author Liz Dean and inspired by her acclaimed reference guide The Big Book of Tarot Symbols, this beautifully illustrated hardcover explores the symbolic meaning of every card in the classic Rider–Waite tarot.

Breaking the Survival Cycle Somatic Practices for Ending Trauma Patterns and Healing Your Nervous System Maggie Hayes Fair Winds Press 9798317901561 February 18, 2027 £18.99 • Paperback • 176 Pages

If you feel stuck in patterns of stress, shutdown, or reactivity, your nervous system may still be operating in survival mode—and this book shows you how to gently change that.

Breaking the Survival Cycle is a practical, body-based guide for understanding how trauma lives in the nervous system—and how somatic practices can help you safely interrupt long-standing survival patterns.

Written by somatic practitioner Maggie Hayes, this book offers an accessible, step-by-step framework for working with the body to create regulation, safety, and choice, without forcing catharsis or reliving past trauma.

This is the resource you need to step out of survival mode and develop practical, body-based skills for lasting nervous-system regulation and emotional stability.

Maggie Hayes (@itsmaggiehayes and @thecorerising) is a trauma-trained Somatic Practitioner with a focus on nervous system and trauma recovery. She is the founder of The Core Rising and creator of The Core Rising Method, an approach to healing that integrates bodywork, experiential meditation, and psychosomatic awareness to effectively deconstruct adaptive behaviours and enhance internal resiliency.

Her intention is to empower you to create the environment (both within and without) where you naturally evolve from being the person you learned you had to be, into the one you really are.

An English Pilgrim Discovering England's Ancient Ways Luke Sherlock Illustrated by Ioana Pioaru Frances Lincoln 9781805703754 April 8, 2027 £20.00 • Hardcover • 192 Pages

An evocative and deeply personal reflection on the pilgrimage routes to be found across our nation, by Luke Sherlock, author of the award-winning Forgotten Churches.

Pilgrimage is a rich, varied and ancient practice, and one with a renewed sense of interest and relevance in our increasingly distracted age. The act of undertaking a contemplative journey – whether tracing a well-trodden pilgrim path or piecing together our own personal maps of meaning – can afford an immensely valuable sense of perspective and discovery.

In An English Pilgrim Luke Sherlock documents some of his many pilgrimages, immersing himself in famed historic pilgrim destinations, as well as taking us through landscapes where he has sought his own sense of solace and wonder. Along the way he introduces some of England’s most iconic locations, speaks to those who are quietly upholding the traditions of pilgrimage and explores the lessons these journeys can provide in an age of accelerating noise and distraction.

Luke Sherlock is a writer, pilgrim and book shop owner with a boundless enthusiasm for heritage and art.

There’s little he enjoys more than throwing on a backpack, heading off down some unknown footpath and pausing to explore a hushed, ancient church along the way.

Narrative Non-Fiction

The Tattooed Hills Journeys to Chalk Figures Jon Woolcott

Aurum 9781805700272 April 8, 2027 £10.99 • New in Paperback • 256 Pages

**A Wanderlust Best Travel Book 2026** Across southern England and beyond, the land bears the marks of centuries – white horses, giants, crosses, badges, even a lost panda – cut into the chalk and exposed to the sky. In The Tattooed Hills, writer Jon Woolcott travels to these remarkable sites, exploring their history and the deep cultural roots that link landscape to identity.

Part travelogue, part cultural history, Woolcott examines how these figures – sometimes ancient, sometimes surprisingly recent – reflect our collective imagination, and how their interpretations have changed over time. Once emblems of pride or remembrance, they have become mirrors of our shifting values and contradictions.

A captivating exploration of landscape, culture and belonging, The Tattooed Hills reveals how the chalk beneath our feet connects us to our past and continues to shape who we are today.

Jon Woolcott is a writer and publisher from Dorset. His writing has appeared in The Bookseller, Caught by The River, Slightly Foxed, Echtrai Journal, for the Venice Biennale, and he writes regular travel articles for The Guardian. His book Real Dorset was published in 2023 by Seren Books. He’s also the editor of Going to Ground (Little Toller, 2024), an anthology of writing about place and nature, described by Nicola Chester as ‘a glorious, glittering anthology.’
