Light Planets People

Review: Lights, Planets, People! (Avery Hill Publishing)

Lizzie Stewart has a wonderful double status in our world. On one hand she is the author of the sublime Walking Distance, but she is also the writer and illustrator of our kids’s favourite book Tiger in the Garden. As such any new work from her is met with high anticipation whichever genre she is writing in and Lights Planets People is no exception!

Putins Russia

Review: Putin’s Russia: The Rise of A Dictator (Myriad Editions)

Darryl Cunningham’s last book we reviewed on here was the superb Billionaires – a searingly factual look into the lives of the ultra-rich like Jeff Bezos and Rupert Murdoch. His new book continues this analytical style of narrative and focuses its attention on Russian supremo Vladimir Putin and it follows a similar in depth, yet very approachable style.

Knock Out

Review: Knock Out! The True Story of Emile Griffith (SelfMadeHero)

Reinhard Kleist’s Knock Out! The True Story of Emile Griffith is one of those amazing stories, which if you read it as a work of fiction you would say it was too outlandish and not at all realistic. But that’s what makes this story of a gay black boxer in the 1960s (who was not only world champion at multiple weights, but also a renowned hat maker and ladies tailor) even more fascinating.
