In every way a beautiful book. Sebastian FaulksWhen novelist Anuradha Roy and her husband stumble upon a derelict cottage in the hill station of Ranikhet, they decide it is where they will now live. After the frenetic city of Delhi, Roy is initially bemused by the gentle pace of life in the mountains but then won over: spellbound by the landscape, taken to the heart of their sometimes recalcitrant neighbours and adopted by four mountain dogs and counting. Over twenty-five years, as she becomes accustomed to living among forests where leopards roam freely, she will come to encounter nature at its most fierce, captivating and vulnerable and bear witness to the destructive impact of global warming on the alpine ecosystem.Written with unsentimental clarity, humour and poignancy, Called by the Hills: A Home in the Himalaya is a tender and intimate portrait of a home, a community and a rugged, extraordinary landscape.

By the early eighteenth century botanists were inching towards the shocking truth that plants had male and female organs and reproduced sexually. The first person to realize the practical implications of this was London nurseryman and author Thomas Fairchild. By transferring the pollen of a sweet William into the pistil of a carnation, he created a new plant that became known as Fairchilds Mule: the first man-made hybrid in Europe. But this primitive form of genetic engineering aroused a scientific and religious furore. Michael Leapman offers fascinating and colourful detail about the life and times of Fairchild, a troubled, gentle soul whose pioneering work changed the course of horticulture and paved the way for the growth of gardening as a cultural obsession.A beguiling perambulation around the Georgian nursery trade. Sir Roy Strong, Daily Mail
