Carlo Ancelotti

One of the greatest club managers tells the story of his life through his record-breaking seven Champions League wins 
 
Carlo Ancelotti has won domestic titles in all of Europe's top five leagues, with teams including AC Milan, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and currently Real Madrid.

Weaving stories from his life into an in-depth narrative of each Champions League campaign, Carlo creates a rich football memoir that takes you inside the mind of a winner.

Kevin Rowland

A searingly honest memoir from Dexys’ iconic frontman, one of the great mavericks and creative geniuses of British music. 
 
At home, the prayerful eight-year-old altar boy was planning to attend college to train to be a priest. Elsewhere, he was thieving, lying, swearing, fighting and rarely out of trouble. 
 
In this astonishing memoir, Kevin takes us from the juvenile courts of his troubled teenage years to the early days of the New Romantic scene in the late ’70s. An unwavering passion for music and highly tuned sense of fashion and style ignited an unstoppable drive within him, compelling him down a path that led to his huge chart successes with Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 1980s. However, despite being celebrated as a creative genius, inner turmoil was never far away, and a terrifying series of self-sabotaging events were to follow – including a serious cocaine addiction – leaving him in the wilderness in the 1990s, bankrupt, living in a bedsit, on the dole. 
 
Always resilient in the face of adversity, after a massive upheaval Kevin found his way back. He charts his return journey, from shocking audiences with his pioneering embrace of gender fluidity with My Beauty, right through to Dexys’ triumphant appearance at Glastonbury in 2024. 
 
Vividly detailed, and with a truly rare degree of self-insight, this is Kevin's own, deeply personal account of an extraordinary life, raw and unvarnished. A remarkable memoir, as compelling and original as you would expect from one of the pioneering icons of music history.

Cam Whitnall

Lion Heart is the bold and uplifting memoir of Cam Whitnall, a man whose life has been defined by extraordinary bonds with wildlife and a dramatic warzone rescue that brought five lions to safety in the UK. 
 
'If you know what to look for, a lion’s face tells you everything. The eyes, the scars, the shape. 
 
Their faces tell the truth about survival, control and what it costs to exist in a world shaped by humans. 
 
Everything I’ve chosen to do with my life comes back to that. 
 
Because once you’ve really learned how to look at a lion, and understood the story written across its face, walking away stops being an option.' 
 
When Cam’s grandparents bought a dilapidated zoo, once known as the worst in the UK, and brought it back to life, they also created a home for their family. 
 
Cam grew up on the grounds, now known as Hertfordshire Zoo, in a bedroom overlooking the tiger enclosure. His childhood playground, where he and his brothers would play hide-and-seek after hours, was filled with endangered species from around the world. He built deep connections with the animals in their care, even hand-rearing a lion cub called Zara, an experience which inspired a lifelong fascination with big cats. 
 
Over the years, the family business expanded as they also took on The Big Cat Sanctuary with Cam taking the helm as director. He and the sanctuary made global headlines for leading a high-risk rescue mission of five abandoned lions from war-torn Ukraine. The lions were found in states of shellshock and malnourishment and had likely been used for illegal breeding. After ten months of dedicated effort, Cam united Rori, Yuna, Vanda, Amani and Lira in their forever home at the sanctuary and gave them the freedom to walk on grass for the very first time. A momentous milestone in a lifetime dedicated to animal welfare, conservation and rescue.

Dave Myers lived his life with joy. He always told his wife Liliana, that if you were going to do something, you should do it full-heartedly. With that in mind, Liliana gives her whole self to writing a celebration of his life and their love, full of the warmth and joy that Dave and the Hairy Bikers brought to their many fans throughout their career spanning two decades. Liliana invites readers into her world, sharing her personal story and professional insights as a grief counsellor, offering a unique perspective on the complexities of grief and the healing process. 
 
Liliana takes us on an intimate journey through her life with her beloved husband, recounting their serendipitous meeting in 2005, the blossoming of their relationship as pen pals and the adventures that followed as they built a life together in the UK. Interspersed with vivid memories – like the plaid shirt that carries a special significance, the shoes that tell a story of their travels, and the lost wedding ring that symbolises their unbreakable bond – Liliana paints a rich tapestry of their life together. She describes the joy of their wedding day, the camaraderie of friendships, and the challenges they faced during Dave's cancer diagnosis, their journey through treatment and the final days they spent together. 
 
As well as a reflection on Liliana’s profound grief, this deeply moving memoir is a testament to the enduring power of love and, amidst the sorrow, Liliana finds ways to celebrate Dave’s life, honour his legacy and the impact he had on a nation that adored him. Looking to the future, Liliana offers readers a beacon of hope, sharing her coping strategies and the ways she keeps Dave's memory alive. Dave and Me is a deeply heartfelt tribute to a remarkable man and story of love that transcends loss.

Arne Slot has been tasked with a role at the helm of one of the most prestigious clubs in the game: Liverpool FC. Having showcased his ability to compete at the top tier of Dutch football, he brings his tactical acumen and characteristically aggressive, high pressing football from the Eredivisie to the Premier League. 
 
Slot delivered remarkable performances at more than one club in the Netherlands and garnered a reputation for consistently exceeding expectations. Under his innovative leadership, AZ Alkmaar finished second in the league – and that only on goal difference – when the season was abandoned in 2020 due to Covid. In 2021, Slot took the reins at Feyenoord and led them to their first league title in six years. In four short years, he cemented his status as one of the most promising managerial talents in Europe. 
 
Maarten Meijer’s biography delves into Arne Slot’s roots, from the tiny village of Bergentheim in the Netherlands, to the formidable task of following in the footsteps of Jurgen Klopp, his iconic predecessor at Liverpool FC. With confidence borne from a career of success and a complete faith in the football he wants to play, Slot is ready to make his mark at Anfield and continue the legacy of excellence.

Growing Up Without Growing Old

Melvyn Downes

Familiar to many from his season on the Directing Staff of Channel 4's Who Dares Wins, Melvyn Downes served in the SAS for 12 years. He has faced physical and psychological trauma. He’s lost close friends and family members. He’s experienced bullying and racial harassment. 
 
But no matter how tough things get, he is always convinced he’ll get out the other side. 
 
He wasn’t born fearless, or strong, or confident. Those things grew from graft, a willingness to learn from mistakes and a constant desire to push himself out of his comfort zone. 
 
Structured chronologically around lessons learned the hard the way, that helped him be the best version of himself, on and off the battlefield, this is a true story of a life lived at the toughest extremes. It’s also an inspiring insight into the can-do mindset of an SAS blade who lives by the ethos: ‘Improve, adapt, overcome’.

Petula Clark

Petula Clark’s first appearance on the airwaves was in 1942, aged nine, singing on a BBC radio show that broadcast messages to the troops. It was to be the start of the longest career of any British entertainer, as she evolved from child star to music, film and theatre legend. 
 
After a string of hit records in the UK in the 50s, Petula followed her heart and future husband to France where she became the nation’s most popular female vocalist, before going truly global when she topped the charts in the US with Downtown. Hollywood beckoned, then Vegas, Broadway and the West End. 
 
Petula is an artist who has always had an innate ability to create deep connections with audiences everywhere, remaining beloved and relevant across different eras. In her first and only autobiography, she brings that same personal passion and spirit to her writing, with a witty, sparkling and deeply intimate narrative. 
 
She confides in us with glorious showbiz gems, such as the time she saw Frank Sinatra at both his most charming and his most intimidating, or there’s the day she attended Liza Minelli and David Gest’s wedding as one of thirteen maids of honour, all dressed in black. 
 
While beneath the shiny surface, she also reflects on the people and moments that shaped her, on love and loss, on the family life she cherished away from the spotlight and, ultimately, on finding her own path to happiness and fulfilment. 
 
Find out why John Lennon, at his bed-in for peace with Yoko, asked ‘Is that You, Petula?’ It was. And this is Petula, a true icon of popular music, telling you her story, in her own words.

An Autobiography

Ellie Kildunne

'Lukewarm is no good.' 
 
As a youngster, Ellie Kildunne was told girls don’t play rugby. But that’s what she was good at, and she was determined to find a way. 
 
Growing up in Yorkshire, Ellie started playing rugby aged six with a boys’ team, which she continued to do until she was 13, constantly having to prove herself as the only girl. Then, her mum found out about some local U15 trials for girls. She went along, made the team, and thus began the career of an England rugby great. 
 
But to achieve greatness in sport is not an easy journey. Ellie has faced prejudice. She has fought through career-threatening injury. While the hyperfocus superpower that is part of her ADHD has driven her to surpass the competition, it brings with it a difference in the way she processes information that has led to misunderstandings and conflict, at school, at college and in her professional life. 
 
Ellie’s guiding philosophy is ‘Lukewarm is no good’. Her passion for rugby was always white hot. The fire will never go out, and the setbacks have made her stronger. She’s smashing through barriers, and spurs us all on to achieve our goals, whatever our path in life. 
 
On and off the field, Ellie is a game changer. 
 
 
'An inspirational player who creates moments of outrageous brilliance from nowhere.' Sir Clive Woodward 
 
'What Ellie and the Red Roses achieved on home soil last year was a privilege to watch. We may play different sports, but wearing our country’s shirt is something that connects us all. Ellie sets incredible standards for herself and her team. The consistency behind her performances and the energy she brings lifts you off your seat. 
 
It’s not just about winning games, it’s about the example she sets and the belief she gives the next generation that we as women belong on the biggest stage.' Chloe Kelly 
 
‘The growth of women’s rugby in England has been a huge positive for sport in this country. Ellie Kildunne and the Red Roses have done an incredible job of inspiring the nation, not just through their successes but with the way they play the game.’ Ben Youngs

John Robb

'To see The Clash on the White Riot tour was like discovering how to be a rock star: you just did it yourself. You didn't wait for someone to come and discover you. That was the most important thing that came out of punk... We came home and we cut our hair and bought skinny trousers. It was year zero. That was the moment for me' Billy Bragg 
 
Punk Rock is a book like no other. It is an oral history of a radical movement which exploded in Seventies Britain. With its own clothes, hair, artwork, fanzines and radical politics, Punk boasted a DIY ethos that meant anyone could take part. The scene was uniquely vibrant and energetic, leaving an extraordinary legacy of notorious events, charismatic characters and inspirational music. 
 
John Robb has spent over a year interviewing more than 100 contributors including Glen Matlock, Mick Jones, Don Letts, Slash, Billy Bragg, Hugh Cornwell and Captain Sensible. Now, for the first time, they give the inside view on events such as The Sex Pistols' swearing live on the Bill Grundy TV show and staging their anti-Jubilee riverboat party on the Thames, famous gigs at The Roxy and 100 Club, and the groundbreaking records by The Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and others. 
 
From the widely debated roots of punk in the late-Sixties through to the fallout of the post-punk period in 1984, and the ongoing influence on today's bands, Punk Rock is the definitive oral history of an inimitable and exciting movement.

An Oral History

Mark Kriegal

On a defining evening of the 1980s, Donald Trump hosted celebrities and high rollers in a Jersey Shore town to witness 21-year-old Mike Tyson knock out Michael Spinks in just 91 seconds, earning more than the annual payrolls of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics combined. 
 
Only eight years earlier, Tyson, a troubled child from Brooklyn, was taken under the wing of boxing legend Cus D’Amato in upstate New York. Their story of mutual redemption captivated novelists, screenwriters, and the emerging cable TV industry. Tyson became HBO’s leading man long before Tony Soprano. 
 
Despite the immense success, Tyson's story was more complex and darker than it appeared. Over the decades, he has been villainized, lionized, and fetishized—but never fully humanized until now. Acclaimed biographer Mark Kriegel, who first encountered Tyson as a young reporter, explores Tyson's life through what he survived rather than whom he knocked out. 
 
Tyson, often compared to Jack Dempsey, was more akin to Sonny Liston—Black, feared, and expected to die young. What made Liston a pariah made Tyson a touchstone for a generation influenced by hip hop and gunfire. Kriegel captures not just Tyson’s rise but his profound impact on the American psyche.

Luke Evans

Growing up in a small village in the Rhymney Valley, Luke's life was shaped by his Jehovah's Witness upbringing, a path he'd eventually navigate to come out to his parents, knowing he risked losing them. In his raw and honest account, he shares his struggles of always feeling different and being bullied as a child, and his brave decision to leave home at just seventeen, searching for a new life and a place where he truly belonged. 
 
Starring first on the West End stages in iconic productions like Miss Saigon, Avenue Q, and Rent, he quickly captivated the hearts of audiences and caught the eye of Hollywood's elite, going on to secure roles in blockbuster films like The Hobbit, Beauty and the Beast, the Fast and Furious franchise, and Nine Perfect Strangers TV series. 
 
In this intimate memoir, Luke takes us behind the scenes of his career on the stage and screen. He writes beautifully of the relationship he now has with his family and the respect they all have for one another on their different paths. Luke's story is a powerful tale of resilience, courage, and the pursuit of finding a sense of belonging and identity.

My unexpected journey

Russ Cook

Hardest Geezer

10,000 miles. 16 countries. 352 days. 
 
Hardest Geezer, Russ Cook, is the first person to run the entire length of Africa. From his starting point in Cape Agulhas, South Africa, through sandstorms in the Sahara Desert, rainforests, mountain ranges and long empty roads stretched out for miles in front of him, Russ ran the equivalent of 386 marathons finally crossing the finish line in Tunisia 50 weeks later. 
 
Attempted kidnaps, being held at gunpoint in an armed robbery and the whole challenge left hanging in the balance when he was denied the right to cross Algeria, Russ never once contemplated giving up. When he crossed the finish line in Ras Angela, he did so with the eyes of the world on him. 
 
Africa may have been his most physical challenge yet but it certainly wasn’t his first: he’s broken the record for the fastest car-pulling marathon and been buried alive for a week with nothing but water and a camera to record the experience. 
 
In Hardest Geezer: Running Africa, Russ Cook shares how he turned his life around to face these challenges and shares his motivations and tales of incredible determination, sheer grit and endurance. 
 
‘You get one chance at life. Go and have a stab at it.’

The real story that inspired the BBC drama, The Gold 
 
On Saturday, 26 November 1983, an armed gang stole gold bullion worth almost £26 million from the Brink's-Mat security depot near London's Heathrow Airport. It was the largest robbery in world history, and only the start of an extraordinary story. For forty years, myths and legends have grown around the Brink's-Mat heist and the events that followed. 
 
The heist led to a wave of international money laundering, provided dirty money that helped fuel the London Docklands property boom, caused seismic changes in both British crime and policing, and has been linked to a series of deaths that continued until 2015. 
 
The Gold is the conclusion of extensive research and includes exclusive testimony from one of the original robbers who gives his version of events for the first time. The result is the astonishing true story of the robbery of the century.

Sue Barker

'The thing about our Sue is that she just is Wimbledon.' John McEnroe 
 
Sue Barker first walked through those famous wrought-iron gates aged 13 in 1969 to play in the National Schools event. What Sue didn't know then, was that every year for the next half century, she would be back in some capacity. As a junior, aged 15, as a semi-finalist and Grand-Slam winner ranked No.3 in the world, as a broadcaster leading the BBC coverage for thirty years and for the first time, as a fan in 2023. 
 
And now she returns as a storyteller. 
 
The magic has stayed the same,but times have changed. With her first-hand insight and perspective, Sue paints an intimate portrait of the place, past and present, full of behind-the-scenes details drawn from her own experiences as well as personal conversations with her former mentors, contemporary players, friends and colleagues - giants of the game such as Rod Laver, Billie Jean King, John McEnroe, Roger Federer, Venus Williams and many others. They share poignant memories with her and some startling revelations, from Sampas's deep regret that he didn't involve his parents more in his Centre Court triumphs to Borg divulging that McEnroe was always the quietest presence in the locker room ... You cannot be serious! 
 
From the most talked-about matches and famous rivalries to the fashions and trends, from the stunning breakthroughs, to the near wins and gut-wrenching disappointments, Sue's personal history of Wimbledon is touched throughout by Championship stardust and is as tightly packed with stories as the courts are with blades of grass.
