Pride and Prejudice and The
Alchemist are among the 25 titles that will be given
away on World Book Night in 2012. One million books
will be distributed at many UK venues including The
Forest Bookshop. Some 20,000 members of the public
will be chosen to give away copies of their favourite
title from the list. The books chosen this year range
from classics like Charles Dickens' A Tale Of Two Cities
to Sophie Kinsella's chick-lit hit The Secret Dreamworld
of a Shopaholic. Also included are Bill Bryson's dissection
of British life, Notes From A Small Island, and fantasy
fiction Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
 F.
W. Harvey: Selected Poems
Edited by Anthony Boden and R.K.R. Thornton.
Hardback with CD
This new selection of the poems of F.W. Harvey (1888-1957)
presents the poet’s work as a creative sequence
exemplifying his life and ideals in both peace and war.
The included CD of all of the 64
poems in the book, is a delight. Recorded by professional
actors Jan Carey and David Goodland, it also includes
five rare BBC archive recordings, from 1938, of F.W.
Harvey reading five of his own poems.
Harvey, a significant figure in the poetry of the first
half of the twentieth century, discovered his talent
amid the adventure and pain of the First World War.
He enlisted, was decorated for outstanding bravery at
the front and commissioned, but he was captured in August
1916, and spent the rest of the war in German prison
camps, where he could ‘see beyond trouble, the
trenches and the prison walls to his native Gloucestershire,
of which he wrote with such beauty and delight’.CLICK

 Many
of you will remember the huge Renault Clio advertising
campaign that featured the Forest Bookshop in almost
every glossy magazine and weekend supplement in the
UK. It came as a complete surprise to us, but as it
would not do any harm, did not make a fuss. Renault
did send us a nice framed copy of the original artwork
though. How flattering to be chosen as an icon for
independent shops.
