Monday exciting #eveningread Jade Cuttle’s ‘To Speak the Language of Soil’ is so interesting esp the list of ‘Mossary’ The new book Future Rural, edited by Adrian Cooper @littletollerbooks.bsky.social is great!

Out this week! #FutureRural is a wide & diverse collection of voices on the rural for @littletollerbooks.bsky.social & the centenary of @cprecountryside.bsky.social. Thrilled to be among those voices.

Fantastic launch for @cprecountryside.bsky.social & @littletollerbooks.bsky.social’s anthology Future Rural @dauntbooks.bsky.social in Marylebone. Many gathered voices from diverse angles, addressing the past, present, & reimagining the future of the countryside for CPREs centenary. Fun was had!

I look forward to reading this new monograph from the always excellent @littletollerbooks.bsky.social about one of my favorite birds. (I hold out hope that someday my own osprey manuscript might be a book, too.)

This looks breathtaking: Osprey by John Lister-Kaye will be published on 27th May by @littletollerbooks.bsky.social.

Lovely review of our anthology Future Rural which is out next week. Thanks so much Shafik. @cprecountryside.bsky.social

Great review of Future Rural, out next week!

This week I’m reading Ghost Town by Liverpool author Jeff Young. @wildtwin.bsky.social

How wonderful to hear that you are reading @wildtwin.bsky.social’s Ghost Town. It’s an exquisite book.

Mad Shepherds. Just sayin'.

Das Buch ist von @littletollerbooks.bsky.social wiederveröffentlicht worden: Mit einem neuen Vorwort von Luke Turner, der schon einiges über Queer sein auf dem Lande in England geschrieben hat. www.littletoller.co.uk/shop/books/l...

Today is Ghost Town’s 6th birthday. The children on the cover are my grandmother Dorothy and her brother Tom in the early 1900’s. This book changed my life as did my wonderful publisher @littletollerbooks.bsky.social More about the book here: www.littletoller.co.uk/shop/books/l...

I'm editing a book, part memoir, part art history, about the German artist Kurt Schwitters' last years in the English Lake District, and it's FANTASTIC. Not read anything like this in years and cannot wait until @littletollerbooks.bsky.social publishes it later this spring. More soon.

Great stuff. Thought you might like to know about this book, out in the UK this autumn from @littletollerbooks.bsky.social. guardianbookshop.com/the-book-of-...

My 14 year old son Luca took me here after cricket training today. He said there is hope in that sky Mum, I’ve never seen anything like it, the locals said there are half a million starlings here. Keep your families close, hug your children, help those who need us, do a 1000 piece puzzle, enjoy!

Including my personal pick, from the great @kgeorgew.bsky.social

I’ve just finished reading ‘Wild Twin’ by Jeff Young, published by those wonderful people at @littletollerbooks.bsky.social - a powerful, lyrical and creative masterpiece.

Monday #morningread from a newly published cool book by @littletollerbooks.bsky.social: The Book of Bogs: Stories from a Yorkshire Moor and Other Peatlands

Help @littletollerbooks.bsky.social produce Jennifer Potter's new book about Kurt Schwitters – 'not a biography, nor an art book, nor a memoir, but a book in its own class.' www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/looking-fo...

This looks great from @littletollerbooks.bsky.social – a campaign to crowdfund a book on the Cumbrian home and work of Kurt Schwitters. I popped into his Merz Barn there a few years ago, a really crackers place then run by people no longer with us www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/looking-fo...

And this beautiful anthology launches today. Congratulations to @littletollerbooks.bsky.social @clareshawpoet.bsky.social and Anna Chilvers and to all involved in this beautiful book! You can buy it here. #poetrysky #booksky#naturewriting www.littletoller.co.uk/shop/books/l...

My copy of The Book of Bogs - edited by Anna Chilvers and @clareshawpoet.bsky.social - has arrived from @littletollerbooks.bsky.social and look how lovely this important book looks! And it’s full of wonderful work from fantastic authors, too.

Jenny Potter is crowdfunding a new book about the artist Kurt Schwitters, but she explains it far better than I can in this video ⬇️. @littletollerbooks.bsky.social will be publishing. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/looking-fo...

I wrote an essay on high altitude peat bogs in New Guinea for "The Book of Bogs"(edited by Anna Chilvers & @clareshaw.bsky.social @littletollerbooks.bsky.social) Here are a few pictures recorded on a life-changing research visit to the New Guinea Highlands when I was very young 😊

Little Toller is a fabulous publisher! Let’s get behind this crowdfunder 👏🏼

The postman has just delivered this delicious collection. I was honoured to be invited to submit writing for it, not least because it emphasises the need to protect our bogs. It's fabulous. Thank you to @littletollerbooks.bsky.social for having the wisdom to publish such important writing.

Thank you so much.

Thrilled to receive my copy of THE BOOK OF BOGS from @littletollerbooks.bsky.social. A celebration and (in places) a threnody for this very British and very endangered habitat and landscape. As you'd expect from the publisher, it's a beautiful book. www.littletoller.co.uk/shop/books/l...

Our friends at the brilliant @littletollerbooks.bsky.social have just launched a new crowdfunding project for 'Looking for Mr Schwitters' — an innovative and finely illustrated book about the émigré artist Kurt Schwitters’ final years in the Lake District www.caughtbytheriver.net/2025/09/look...

NEXT BOOK PROJECT. We could do with a little help. We've gone live with our @crowdfunder.bsky.social today! Please do help us spread the word, Mr Schwitters is a remarkable book, he was a remarkable man. There are some lovely rewards. Huge thanks www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/looking-fo... #BookSky
