Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and other supernatural enemies of the author

Tom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones.

Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the wilful obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as it grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the writer never meets! Quail before the critic's incisive dissection of the manuscript! And most importantly, seethe with envy at the paragon of creative productivity!

Revenge of the Librarians contains even more murders, drubbings and castigations than The Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, Baking For Kafka or any other collections of mordant scribblings by the inimitably excellent Gauld.

Witch's Garden describes over 50 of the world's most powerful magical plants and their uses, mythical and proven.

Wise women, apothecaries, witches, herbalists: whatever you call them, those who use plants for their fabled mystical and healing properties have existed for thousands of years. From the screaming mandrake to calming St John's Wort, and from healing yarrow to poisonous henbane, the history of esoteric species is often as dark and mysterious as the art of herbalism itself.

Including tales of remedies for everything from bad weather and broken hearts to protection from evil and achieving immortality, Witch's Garden features exquisite botanical illustrations and fascinating specimens held within the archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, while archival images depicting occult practices evoke the bewitching nature of these curious species.
