The Book Fairies are sharing copies of The Walking Cure by Annabel Streets across the UK! This book is a Waterstones Book of the Month :) so we've included a photo of the window of the Cardiff store

Who will be lucky enough to spot one on a trail this bank holiday Monday?

About the book:

In this inspirational book Annabel Streets explains the curative and therapeutic benefits of 20 easy-­to-­find landscapes, both rural and urban: from mountains to meadows, disused railway lines to rivers and coastal cliffs to city parks. Streets reveals not only the huge physiological benefits of walking, but also how these are exponentially enhanced by the particular routes we choose to walk. Streets investigates how different landscapes have proven abilities to change how we see, feel and experience ourselves and the world.

With warmth and wisdom, and using a compelling blend of anecdotal and scientific evidence, she identifies the perfect place to walk for over two dozen common states-of-mind, whether it be a canal path to spark creativity, a bustling city to allay boredom or the the shoreline to heal grief and insomnia. The Walking Cure celebrates the joy of walking and shares the extraordinary health benefits that landscape unlocks.

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of Brave and Bold by Nell Frizzell at swimming spots and more across the UK today!

Who will be BRAVE enough to go looking, and BOLD enough to take one home? This copy is also by the lake at Tredegar House .

About the book:

For a century, the Ladies’ Pond on Hampstead Heath has welcomed women from every walk of life: artists and activists, swimmers and sunbathers, friends and free spirits. As Britain’s most famous female open-air swimming spot, a pocket of wildness tucked away in the middle of the city, it has long attracted adventurous swimmers from all over the UK and the wider world.
Brave and Bold celebrates one hundred years of this beloved London landmark through the rhythm of a single swimming year, from frozen Januarys to sun-drenched midsummers; through friendships, feminist activism and the exhilaration of open water.

Created in collaboration with the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association and rich with previously unseen archive material and new interviews – from Dolly Alderton and Amy Liptrot to lifelong swimmers of every era – this is far more than the story of one pond. It’s a story of community, women and wild water across a century of social and political change, from suffragettes to soap stars, war to liberation, and shared flasks of tea to acts of quiet rebellion.

Who will be lucky enough to spot this fantasy bundle today?

About She Knows All the Names by Michelle Jabès Corpora:

A merciless new king has ascended to the throne of Khetera and war threatens as rebellion against his rule grows. Hidden in the desert, far from the golden palace, Princess Sita must uncover the ancient secrets of a lost city and face an evil risen from the dead.

In a palace swarming with enemies, Priestess Neff secretly plots against the pharaoh’s reign of blood, studying the forbidden art of Heka magic. Can she trust an unexpected ally?

Along the banks of the Iteru River, Rae leads a group of rebels on a perilous mission. To succeed, she must earn the trust of the king’s closest advisor and place herself in the lion’s den.

And in the Red Lands, tomb robber Karim grapples with the new life he’s been given and his growing feelings for the sharp-witted princess. Will he face his destiny or run like a thief in the night?

Watch out! The Book Fairies are sharing copies of Storm Bringer by Tig Wallace across the UK today! Who will be lucky enough to spot one on the week of its release?

About the book:

Amelio’s world is divided by the Fault, a canyon separating him from Nimira, the storm-ravaged kingdom on the other side where magic is used freely. When Amelio’s storm chaser mother goes missing, he is forced across the Fault, joining a mission to locate the source of a leviathan storm. As magic stirs within him, Amelio must also contend with Paige, a wildcard with a thirst for chaos, and Vintane, a criminal with an agenda of his own.

The storm chase of a lifetime is underway and Amelio must unite warring provinces and confront his own destiny – before the most powerful storm ever seen destroys them all.
