Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time.

‘Riding Through War and Peace’ by Michael Pugh

Summer 2014. Crimea has been seized; death and destruction are running wild in eastern Ukraine. Michael Pugh has heard the rumble of dragons awakening, and despite the splendour of life as an expat lawyer in Moscow, decides it is time to go. With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse.

Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

‘There is something romantic and dashing about the way the author trots and gallops out of Russia and Eastern Europe. The Patrick Leigh Fermor of A Time of Gifts would have applauded and envied this journey ...This wonderful landscape - of flower meadows, monasteries, opera houses, churches, Tolstoyan battlefields - is now wholly denied to us because of an unnecessary and egregious Ukrainian war. Yet here it is still, captured for our inspection in Pugh’s prose.’ Roger Lewis, author of The Life and Death of Peter Sellers and Erotic Vagrancy: Everything About Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor

'Pugh’s adventures in rural Russia and the personalities that he brings to life are irresistible.’ Miranda Seymour, novelist, biographer and critic

‘Riding Through War and Peace’ by Michael Pugh

Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way.

There’s a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

Artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects.

‘This Desirable Plot: A Dream House-Hunter's Nightmare’ by Norman Thelwell

This Desirable Plot is the artist’s inimitable guide to navigating the property market and buying or selling a house. First published in 1970, it introduces prospective purchasers to estate agents’ jargon, gives cautionary advice on country cottages and highlights the perils of any projects involving conversion or renovation. From structural surveys to rising damp, and dry rot to roof repairs, this is an entertaining look at finding the ideal home and making the right – or wrong – moves on the property ladder.

The artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging.
