A beautiful collection of bird paintings from Sunday Times-bestselling author Jim Moir, the artist formerly known as Vic Reeves. Jim loves birds. His popularity as a painter has soared in recent years and the simplicity and sincerity of his bird paintings have given them cult status among his fans.

Or how many pairs of Peregrine Falcons are nesting on St Paul’s Cathedral? Following Jim’s bestselling Birds and his Sky Arts series Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy, this exquisite volume of paintings will delight everyone who enjoys looking at and learning about our beaked and feathered fellow travellers. 'Jim doesn't just see birds, he looks at them, so intensely that he understands them. Not just anatomically or behaviourally - he knows how they feel' Chris Packham

This marvelously theatrical play is the story of a disturbed young man and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930s. When the boy was young he almost drowned. This trauma, and the loss of his mother in the same accident, has left him deathly afraid of water. The preacher, set on breaking away from a long line of Kentucky family preachers, is determined not to do what he does best. He works as a mechanic for the boy’s father. The town doesn’t have a preacher and the women try to persuade him to preach – while he tries to persuade the child to wash. When the preacher finally gets the boy in the river and is washing him, the townspeople mistake the scene for a baptism. They descend on the event and, in the confusion, the boy drowns.
