Not only are we publishing Annie Proulx’s ode to the world’s forests this month in the form of the masterfully written Barkskins, but the weather was nice for approx. two days; this allowed us to venture outside into the wild, both to experience the delights that nature can give us as explored in the five books that you could win, but also to take the photo below. It was really nice. That being said, it would be even nicer for you to win one of the TWO sets of the five books on wilderness from us here at 4th Estate, the lovely Faber & Faber crew, and from our sibling imprint William Collins. Just enter your details in the form below, and we’ll pick a winner at the end of the month.

A very happy New Year to you and all you know, from 4th Estate. 2014 was a fantastic year for books, wasn’t it? Or, to borrow the phrase from Andy Miller, it truly was The Year of Reading Dangerously. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie taught us that We Should All be Feminists, while Lena Dunham told us how she came to be one in Not That Kind of Girl. David Cronenberg put us off our dinner with the fantastic techno-thriller Consumed, but Anna Jones set us back on track with her astonishing debut recipe book A Modern Way to Eat. The phenomenal Sali Hughes taught us all we needed to know about beauty (and all we didn’t know we should) in Pretty Honest: The Straight-Talking Beauty Companion, a guide we should all start referring to daily in the new year.
