We publish STRANGER THAN KINDNESS on November 14th. Mark is speaking at the World Mental Health Day on October 10th at Jubilee Library in Brighton. Jo Brand thinks the book is ace too. More of that later.

Today we launch CHICKENS’ LIB by Clare Druce at The Bookcase Hebden Bridge, at 7pm. Clare is a remarkable and indominatable woman, who, over the past 40 years has been campaigning about the conditions of caged hens on battery farms and other feathered friends. When confronted by government obfuscation and intransigence, she demolishes their arguments with research and publicity stunts, like caging humans in Parliament Square. This is a David versues Goliath story and one that is so important given the recent food scares in this country.
