Perfect for deep thinkers and avid readers, our Deep Reads subscription sends three books each season: both our seasonal titles, plus a deeper read from an important voice.
It starts with this season's books, which insulate us from the cold, dark with myth and mystery...
Smoke Hole; Looking to the Wild in the Time of the Spyglass, Martin Shaw
Dr Shaw tells stories that deal with the complex entanglement of life.
These modern myths he creates have a magical way of sneaking us up behind the monstrous of the moment. Remarkable storytelling.
The Flow: Rivers, Water and Wildness, Amy-Jane Beer
This beautiful book percolates slowly through lives, landscapes, and stories as the Guardian's Country Diarist, Amy-Jane Beer, explores themes of wildness and wonder, loss and healing, mythology and history through the sharp lens of wild water.
Our deep read this season is the dazzling Helm from the twice Booker-nominated writer Sarah Hall.
Helm threads together lavishly animated scenes from the lives of folk who have obsessed over the UK's only named wind for millennia. Rich, wild, and vital, Helm is the story of a singular life force, and the strange and essential bonds between nature and people.
