An essay about the Italian hill-town of Tivoli near Rome, famous for its 16th-century garden and fountains at the Villa d’Este. But Tivoli is also the place of the Parco Villa Gregoriana, a natural park graced by a round temple on a cliff that has inspired artists for centuries. Nearby too is Hadrian’s villa, the grandest of its kind in the Roman world. These three places have exerted an enormous influence on European garden design, most notably in England. The town is a storehouse of history and culture, and tens of thousands of people go there each year. What visitors have lacked until now is a detailed guide in English to the place and its gardens; A TIVOLI COMPANION aims to provide it. It weaves together history, literature and visual aesthetics to create new insights into the extraordinary richness of culture in one place in the Italian peninsula. 78 pages, 42 illustrations

CRICKET'S PURE PLEASURE is the account, in words and images, of a remarkable four-day game of cricket played at Lord's in September 2015 between Yorkshire and Middlesex. It opened with high drama when Yorkshire's Ryan Sidebottom bowled a triple-wicket maiden at the start of the game, and closed spectacularly on the fourth day when Yorkshire suffered a batting collapse. In between was a magnificent 149 from Nick Compton that led the way in wresting the initiative from Yorkshire. To these ingredients were added the absorbing attritional cricket that makes the long form of the game so compelling. At the end Middlesex were the victors but Yorkshire were crowned worthy County Champions of 2015.CRICKET'S PURE PLEASURE takes the reader through the highs and lows, the quick movements and slow movements, the loud and the soft of cricket in its greatest form. Where words fall short of conveying the splendour of the whole, the 65 photographs take up the challenge, so that the book as a whole aims to give some insight into the pure pleasure, free of blemish of any kind, that cricket can provide. Sir John Major who, among other accomplishments, is the author of a best-selling cricket book 'More than a game', descibed it as "a wonderful record of a truly remarkable match".
