In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
Kato Vorsok is a man deserted by his god. A failed hero living in exile, he wants nothing to do with his old life.

She needs his help. And she is his key to redemption.

The Summer of the Mourning Cloak is the story of a visit which changes lives forever. The title refers to a beautiful, rarely seen butterfly, The Camberwell Beauty, sometimes know as The Mourning Cloak, which is used throughout the novel to symbolise the emotional journey of the protagonist. The main character is an 11-year-old girl, Hyslop, who arrives in England from Italy with her emotionally distant mother Vanessa. In the past they have flitted from the shelter of one wealthy man to another, but Hyslop finally finds love and stability from her godmother Sandy and an eccentric old man, Sir Northcote Hemmings. He teaches her about butterflies and asks her to find him a Camberwell Beauty, a butterfly that is something of a Holy Grail for both of them. The parallel world of butterflies that is explored throughout the narrative invites the reader into Hyslop’s imagination, where her fascination with butterflies mirrors her desire to be free from her mother’s cruel domination. Hyslop is shadowed by a lonely local boy, Zak, who is bullied both at home and at school, and his fascination with her reflects the way her glamorous mother charms everyone with her beauty. As flighty Vanessa’s powers start waning, Hyslop is just beginning to find her wings. Will Hyslop find her ideal habitat in the end? This book offers a refreshing insight into a child’s perspective of our natural world and will appeal primarily to children aged 10 to 16, whilst also interesting butterfly lovers of any age. The detailed descriptions of British butterflies are both informative and entertaining. They educate the reader whilst taking them on a rich and colourful adventure. Kathleen Nelson admires children’s books by Philip Pullman which blur the genre boundaries between children’s and adult fiction. She suggests that her book is reminiscent of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

A Butterfly Garden in Freeform Peyote Stitch includes twelve patterns for butterflies and flowers. All directions are for freeform peyote stitch, however the patterns could also be worked in Brick Stitch. Freeform peyote stitch involves using increases and decreases at the ends of rows to create a shape with no background. The book includes detailed instructions on how to do freeform peyote stitch, reducing each pattern into sections to make it easier to follow the pattern and create the shape needed for each butterfly or flower. The first chapter also gives detailed directions on how to do increases and decreases and odd count peyote in a pattern this complex. This is not, however, a beginner's book for peyote stitch in general. If you have never done peyote stitch before, start with our beginner's book Peyote Stitch for Beginner and Beyond, or Spirit of the West, Amulet Bags in Peyote Stitch before you tackle freeform peyote stitch. The patterns include eight butterflies: fire-rim tortoiseshell, tiger swallowtail, question mark, peacock butterfly, agrias, monarch, mourning cloak, and purple emperor. There are also four flowers: marigold, orchid, lily, and delphinium.
