On Thin Ice by Charlie Walker published this June!
ICYMI: We are delighted to announce that @louis.d.hall will be appearing at Daunts Bookshop in Marylebone in conversation with fellow travel writer @cwexplore.
Time: 19.00, Wednesday 27th May
Place: Daunts Bookshop, 84 Marylebone High Street
Price: £12.00 (including a glass of wine or soft drink)
The event will dig into Louis D. Hall’s brilliant debut In Green: a terrific travelling adventure in the style of Patrick Leigh Fermor, telling of Louis’s decision to fulfil a childhood dream inspired by Don Quixote – to make an uncharted journey on horseback. This really is a glorious piece of rich, romantic travel writing that takes the reader along old paths, into ancient villages, sharing rural homes and stables of farmers and shepherds in the Ligurian Alps, Pyrenees, Basque country and Galician coast, which also digs deep into the relationship between animal and human.
Charlie Walker will be interviewing. Charlie`s amazing new travelogue On Thin Ice: An Explorer’s Memoir of Siberia, Surveillance and Survival, will be released early, specially for this talk.

We were over the moon to hear that The Escape from Kabul by Karen Bartlett has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2026! @theorwellprize
A gripping story of rescue, survival and female solidarity, The Escape from Kabul is the never-before-told story of the escape of nearly 200 women and their families, thanks to a network of professional friends, female judges and lawyers from around the world, who refused to abandon them to the Taliban.
Many congratulations to all of the other finalists too - what an incredible line up of urgent and powerful titles!

OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK
In Green - A Journey to the End of the Land by @louis.d.hall
`An awe-inspiring tale of adventure, grit, and the deep bond between man, horse and nature – a story that will stir the soul of every reader
who dreams of pushing beyond the horizon` Alastair Humphreys, author of Microadventures
In his mid-twenties, city-bound and restless, Louis D. Hall found himself uncertain. How to create a life he wanted to lead? Inspired by Don Quixote, he decided to fulfil a childhood dream – to make an uncharted journey on horseback.
After finding his horse, Sasha, in Italy’s Apennine Mountains, Louis set off and headed west. His destination: Cape Finisterre, ‘the end of the land’. For three weeks Louis and Sasha survived storms, snow, wolves and the untrodden partisan paths of the Ligurian Alps. But then a young woman arrived with her horse, Istia, and their solitary world was broken. Kiki, adrift with the death of her sibling, joined the journey, and the duo continued together.
With every step and every fall, the pair are forced to unfold and trust in their horses and, eventually, each other. Using old and forgotten routes, guided by strangers and nature’s clues, the travellers unravel into a wilder way of life; united by the mysteries of the horse, enticed by the illusions of adventure.

`This almost insanely intrepid and dangerous trek in remotest Siberia is astonishing in itself. But it also brings invaluable experience of Russian reactions to the war against Ukraine. Altogether extraordinary` Colin Thubron, author of The Amur River
