To The Eel Island by Charles Moseley.
On one level, a story about moving, in old age, from a village to a nearby town, in this case the city of Ely. But also a moving exploration of ‘belonging’ and of moving on, of the layers of past generations of the local people who have shaped the new place, and the changes over the years wrought by nature and the shifting Fenland landscape.

An extract from Ashforth’s Curiosities of Horseracing by David Ashforth, a collection of short vignettes that you can dip in and out of or read in one go. They are all very well researched, informative and entertaining.
