It’s been 10 years since An Exquisite Sense of What is Beautiful was first published…

This March, we’ll revisit Japan in the second edition of this beautiful novel 📖

The personal collides with the political in this literary tour-de-force. In the 1950s, an eminent British writer pens a novel questioning the ethics of the nuclear destruction at Hiroshima and Nagasaki—but soon he’s trying to outrun his own past.

What better day than #NationalBirdDay to introduce Andrew Millham and his forthcoming book, Singing Like Larks? 🐦🎶

Andrew Millham is a nature and folk history writer, with features and columns published in a wide range of national publications including BBC Wildlife, Coast and The Countryman. He graduated with a first class honours degree in environmental science, has received a Field Studies Council ‘Young Darwin Scholarship’ and – after completing his training with Essex Wildlife Trust – is now a Forest School leader, teaching outdoor skills to primary school children.

In Singing Like Larks, Andrew will explore the ancient song traditions of the British Isles, interweaving mesmerising lyrics, folklore and colourful nature writing to uncover the remarkable relationship between birds and traditional folk music.

Fun fact, Andrew is Saraband's youngest author!

A recap of 2022 at Saraband (part 2):

1-3. Over the summer we published 2021 NorthBound Book Award winner Adam Farrer's memoir, Cold Fish Soup, in paperback, ebook and audiobook. Adam celebrated the publication and Yorkshire Day with an epic Tour de Yorkshire, signing copies of the book in bookshops across the county. The official launch event at Blackwell's Manchester was a night to remember!

4. We reunited with our authors and took in some fantastic events with various speakers at Edinburgh International Book Festival in August, which was three weeks of incredible, stimulating bookish community, fun and friendship.

5. In September, we published the epic Seasons of Storm and Wonder by Jim Crumley, on our changing seasons, climate chaos and our wildlife. The book has since been longlisted for the Highland Book Prize.

6-7. This year saw the return of in-person Book Fairs, where international colleagues meet to discuss books and authors and to trade rights, hoping to find new stories as well as to provide overseas platforms for our authors. We attended the big fairs in London and Frankfurt this year, taking up where we left off before the pandemic, and it was truly a delight to see old friends again and make new connections.

8. The inaugural Nature Chronicles Prize was awarded in November at Kendal Mountain Festival. Congratulations to the winning writer,  Nicola Pitchford, and the other five shortlisted writers! The Nature Chronicles Prize anthology, which includes the six winning essays, will be published in January.

9. Also in November, we published North Country, edited by Karen Lloyd, an anthology of prose and poems about the nature and landscapes of Northern England from writers new and old. This was such a huge task to put together - we couldn't be prouder to see it on the shelves!

10. To finish off the year, we launched our Christmas shop in aid of the Trussell Trust. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise money to support foodbanks across the UK this winter.

Thank you for joining us, reading our books and supporting us in an incredible year - we can't wait to see what 2023 has in store!
