<p>'Joyce Stranger brings the smell of the hedgerow and the sharp cry of the fox in the night to her vividly written tale of the wild creatures she loves.' - EVENING NEWS.  In this magical tale of the Lakeland Fells, dour farmers who hunt on foot are outwitted and outrun by a vixen and her cubs.  Well taught by the vixen, Rufus and Rusty become legends throughout one autumn and winter around Hortonmere.  The swiftest hounds, the most determined terriers and the most patient of huntsmen cannot match their speed and guile, and to lonely old Jasper, as he lies snug in his bed on a frosty night, there comes a feeling of contentment as he hears the joyous barks of the pair running free.</p>

<p>Late in the afternoon of Sunday, 3 October 1993, 140 elite US soldiers abseiled from helicopters into a teeming market neighbourhood in the heart of the city of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord and return to base. It was supposed to take them about an hour. Instead, they were pinned down through a long and terrible night in a hostile city, fighting for their lives against thousands of heavily armed Somalis. When the unit was rescued the following morning, 18 American soldiers were dead and more than 70 badly injured. The Somali toll was far worse - more than 500 killed and over 1000 injured. Authoritative, and insightful, "Black Hawk Down" is a minute-by-minute account of modern war. This story is now a major motion picture directed by Ridley Scott, and starring an ensemble cast including Josh Hartnett, Ewen McGregor, Jason Isaacs, Tom Sizemore, Orlando Bloom, Eric Bana, Ron Eldard, Jeremy Piven and Sam Shepherd.</p>
