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
