Book Description
Drawing upon myths, dreams, stories, and film, bestselling author Linda Leonard explores the reindeer as an archetype of feminine energy and as a symbol that can inspire both men and women in their spiritual development and serve as an image of hope, peace, and harmony in the ecologically dark times in which we now live. She takes readers with her on her luminous pilgrimage through Siberia, Lapland and Alaska, where reindeer are messengers between heaven and earth, bridges between spirit and nature, and gives us a map of the sacred, nourishing us with unforgettable ideas and inspiration.

Book Description
This is a remarkable quest for the elusive deer goddess led by Caroline Wise with contributions from Caitlin Matthews, Andrew Collins and others. With its rich harvest of words and ideas, it brings the figure of Elen into focus more than ever before. And what a dazzling figure she is; part goddess, part dream, part saint, a green lady and a water nymph, primordial mother and patroness of deer, and guardian of the Old Straight Tracks and solar alignments. Her name is remembered even in healing plants. If this book does nothing more (and it will surely do much more) it will encourage people to dig deeper into the loam of tradition to follow the footsteps of the divine Elen of the Ways. Elen is as real as the roads named after her, as solid as the ancient paths that carry her presence and story across vast tracts of Britain and the European continent and beyond. What an intriguing and exhilarating journey it is.

Book Description
Winner of the 2020 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate Theatre I looked at her, wanting her to laugh. Wanting her to share in the joke. But she didn't. She just stared. I knew then, in that moment – that she had taken it literally... Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Richard Gadd has a chilling story to tell about obsession, delusion and the terrifying ramifications of a fleeting mistake. This powerful and engaging monologue play portrays a man brought to the edge by the actions of a chance encounter which takes a toll on all aspects of his life. In doing so it asks important questions about victims, the justice system and how one decision has the ability to change your life.
