Pinecone, Paperback/Jenny Uglow

From the author of the bestselling Lunar Men, this is the paperback edition of her book on Sarah Losh, a Victorian carver. In the village of Wreay, near Carlisle, she carved ammonites, scarabs, poppies, an arrow, a tortoise and more in the local church. It also takes in the story of her radical family, who were friends of Wordsworth and Coleridge. 'Original and beautifully written.' Mail On Sunday
