Our company was founded by Alison Hodge in 1979. We publish non-fiction, specializing in illustrated books on art, gardening, garden history, horticulture, food and surfing – drawing inspiration from our base in the far west of Cornwall.
Our authors, artists and photographers are all specialists and leaders in their field. Our books are highly regarded for their authoritative and informed writing, and for excellence in design, illustration and production. They are appreciated all over the world, and have received international recognition:
