Straying husbands lured into the sea by mermaids can be fetched back, for a fee. Trees can make wishes come true. A boy and his grandmother beat back despair with an old white door. Diving Belles is a spellbinding debut that introduces Lucy Wood as a spectacular new voice in fiction. In these stories, the line between the real and the imagined is blurred as she takes us to Cornwall’s ancient coast, building on its rich storytelling history and recasting its myths in contemporary ways. Calling forth the fantastical, she mines these legends for that little bit of magic that remains in all our lives ─ if only we can let ourselves see it.

This memoir was recently discovered and appears to have been written in the 1920s by James Willoughby Carnac, who asserts that he was Jack the Ripper. This is an account of his entire life and includes information that does not appear to be derived from contemporary newspapers or any other publications. The descriptions of Tottenham in the 1870s, the visits to performances of Jekyll and Hyde and the intricate geography of Whitechapel in 1888 are written with pin-point accuracy. There is also a credible motive given for James becoming the murderer Jack and also a reason for the end of the murders. Ultimately it is up to the reader to decide if the mystery of who is Jack the Ripper has been solved or if this is a work of fiction.

"On a willow-covered island behind Tibet’s Potala Palace is a pagoda-roofed temple that was built in the 18th century. It was reserved exclusively for the Dalai Lamas as a place of meditation and spiritual retreat. Unknown artists have created a series of mysterious paintings on the walls of the temple and for centuries, the murals guided the lamas in mystical contemplation. These masterpieces of Tibetan art are reproduced in this extraordinary publication which features 150 colour photographs of the murals. Ian Baker’s text places these remarkable works within their historical and cultural perspective and is augmented by accounts from other Tibetan sources. "
