Read Sea Sagas of the North - Travels and Tales at Warming Waters by Jules Pretty. He tells stories from Iceland, Norway’s Lofoten islands, Denmark, eastern England, Lindisfarne, Shetland, St Kilda and the Faroes. The rich cultural tapestry he weaves offers clues for how to live wisely and well with nature and each other as the fire and flood of Ragnarok looms. https://www.hawthornpress.com/books/nature-writing/sea-sagas-of-the-north/

018 Lovely Slopes, I Will Not Leave [6 mins reading time] [Bi Saka Mu Kyo]     The old sagas had something to say about this: will we want to save and look after places and nature we do not care about?

Thoughtful Books

Hawthorn Press have published books since 1981, offering inspiring and practical ways to transform oneself, family, business and community. We began with Who’s Bringing Them Up? TV and Child Development, followed shortly by Festivals, Family and Food.

After that, we just kept going, publishing titles that respond to our core values of helping to create a more creative, earthcaring and peaceful world. In this vein, we’ve published children’s books, creative parenting books, academic works, practical workbooks and more. The question we ask when considering a title is if its presence in the world will make the world a better place.

We are open to different ways of doing this. Some of our most popular books are our books on storytelling: we believe that this is vital to anyone wishing to create positive change in the world, as the stories that we tell inform our perceptions and therefore how we act. We also publish craft books, because making things yourself is both fun and empowering. And we continue to work with Springboard Consultancy as the publishers for two of their workbooks, Springboard and Navigator.

We are delighted to be still be here, independently publishing books for a more creative, earthcaring and peaceful world. We continue to be excited by our work, and to look for new ways of making the world a little better with each book. We hope that you enjoy our titles as much as we enjoy making them.
