The Name
A strong statement of intent to be fearless in our enterprise, linked to the material that underpins our industry – and also a personal literary reference for our founder, Amanda Ridout. The character of farmer Boldwood in Thomas Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd is close to her heart. His house and farm in the novel – called little Weatherbury – was based on her grandparents’ farm, Druce – which is still in Amanda’s family today.
We were delighted to be the recipient of Small Press of the Year at the British Book Awards 2023 and to be chosen as Publisher of the Year at the RNA Industry Awards 2023
We are proud members of:
