Thanks Luke. xx

This new anthology from over forty writers, including Robert Macfarlane, Amy Liptrot, Alys Fowler and Patti Smith explores peatlands and bogs, and argues for their importance.

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

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.

Front cover of The Book of Bogs, featuring the stunning artwork called Autumn Comes To Walshaw Dean by Angie Rogers. I am holding the book in my left hand and the nail varnish on my thumbnail, a russet brown colour, matches the colourway of the bog depicted.

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.

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 😊

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.

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...
