Glimmers of light in a dark world. Cycling into Summertown on a Saturday morning, and picking up this. Coming home to snuggle down with my small people and read @bijalvv’s story. So happy to have this in my hands. #climatefiction #kidsbookstagram #futurehopes #daunts
An amazing day in London yesterday: lunch with my oldest childhood friend, a quick visit to #ChicagoBooth London campus to refresh myself on the art for the new series of our #podcast Unapologetically and then a glitzy launch for @cathynewmanc4 & her latest book #TheLadder celebrating some fine #inspirational women! Shattered now but still glowing from all the excitement 😊💕 #oldfriends #greatchats #thenedlondon #daunts #booklaunchparty #williamcollins #artpodcast
🛍️Sunday Book Shops 🛍️ Happy Sunday everyone. Hope you’re having a good weekend. I’m trying to feature a different bookshop I’ve visited every Sunday. This week it’s Daunts on Marylebone High Street in London where I went a couple of weeks ago. I love this shop and hadn’t t been for a few years. I think I’d forgotten how beautiful it is inside and I like the way that books are organised by country. I found a few more French themed books to add to my tbr for my upcoming trips to Paris and the Dordogne this year. Also, I am a day late but since yesterday was Random Act of Kindness day, I have a little bookish themed gift to giveaway. Swipe to the last picture - I’m giving away a Daunts tote bag, £15 national book town and a box of Fortnums Earl Greg teabags. To enter, follow me and comment with your favourite book shop. This one is UK only and closes on 23/02/24 at 11.59 pm. Not in conjunction with Daunts, National book tokens or Fortnums. Prizes and postage paid for by me. Good luck! #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookshopping #bookshopsoflondon #bookshopsoftheworld #daunts #bookstagrammer #readersofig

One of my all time favourite hang outs; Daunt Books on Marylebone High St is a haven, a place to unwittingly spend hours perusing the shelves for treasures. Always zone in on the kids section; see what’s going on, and also to thumb through beautifully illustrated timeless classics - stalwarts that sit comfortably on the shelves ready to be relished by generation after generation of young readers. #bookgoals Love to know your family favourites..? My two are firmly into all things 💩 at the moment. High brow 😉 . . . . . #kidsbooks #daunts #dauntsbooks #marylebonehighstreet #kidlit #storytime #bookbeforebed #literacy #creativity #imagination
‘Shrines of Gaiety’ is prize-winning Kate Atkinson at her inimitable best. So well plotted, and deliciously immersive (exactly what I needed throughout a visit from C0vid this month). Bought from @dauntbooks during a stroll through Marylebone village, London. Highly recommended.

I loved hearing Amy Key talk to Monica Heisey about her new memoir last week at @dauntbooks in Marylebone. Arrangements in Blue is a tender and honest exploration of what it is to live life without romantic love at its centre. I was lucky enough to read a proof of the book, and I was bowled over by the nuance and beauty of Amy’s writing - she covers the varying contentment and challenges of being alone, from building a home to nurturing friendships - in a way that both opened my eyes and made me feel incredibly seen. If you read one memoir this summer, make it this one 💙
London calling. In random photo order… A festive feel with all the Union Jacks ready for next weekend’s Coronation.🇬🇧 I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Portraits of Dogs’ at the Wallace Collection - the terriers and dachshunds were my favourites.🐶 And who could resist a cheeky chuckle with The Laughing Cavalier?!🤭 And lots of other fabulous portraits to admire too, especially those of men in lace with moustaches.🎨 And finally a quick trip to the beautiful Daunts bookshop (no photos but a book purchase appropriate for the day).📚 . . . #londoncalling #triptolondon #londononsunday #coronationready #wallacecollection #wallacewoofs #portraitofpilu #johncharlton #seateddog #simonvouet #headofadachshund #princealbert #stanleyandboodgie #davidhockney #thelaughingcavalier #franshals #anechevinofparis #philippedechampaigne #menwithmoustaches #daunts #doghearted #rowanhisayobuchanan #jessicajlee #cornishware #pottscandles #daywithdaughter #motherdaughterlove
Last Tuesday I had the privilege of attending the launch event for Sara Wheeler’s newest book, Glowing Still. It was held at Daunt’s Travel Bookshop in central London, which was just absolutely beautiful, with its arched windows and narrow wooden staircase. The only thing better than a bookshop, is a bookshop in such an aesthetic building ✨ We know I love a bookish tote bag, so when I bought the book and they threw this one in for free, I was chuffed. And clearly, Mikey approves as well.🐈⬛ Thank you to Helena Drysdale for inviting me along, and to Sara Wheeler for having me. #booklaunch #bookishevent #daunts #dauntbooks #sarawheelerauthor #travelbook #travelwriting #bookstagram #bookstagramuk
We are all scared beings, with our personal inner demons to fight. Scared to reveal ourselves, petrified by the fear of being left alone in the dark, with nothing in sight. Yet, we take our chances. Yes, we put ourselves out there, vulnerable, to the ones we love. It is not about being strong enough to be alone, but about realising that we may also need help that we do not have to be on our own. Yes, you may already know, that some doors are not meant for you. But hey, you will never know if you never try. What are your monsters?? Are you scared too?? To fight them alone?? #scared #thoughts #monsters #haunt #kid #grownup #feelings #unsaid #daunts #hollow #heart #tearing #apart #write #writersofinstagram #two #words #beyond #twowords #twowordsnbeyond
The paperback of Super-Infinite is out this week and to launch it I’ll be in conversation with the brilliant novelist Lucy Jago at Daunts Marylebone on Friday 17th (tomorrow!) at 8.30pm. It would be so lovely to see you there. (Link in my stories) @dauntbooks @faberbooks #daunts #superinfinite #johndonne
At my friend @alexlarman’s book launch - The Windsor’s at War - I’m sure it’ll be fantastic; Holland Park, London, 09/03/23 #alexanderlarman #thewindsorsatwar #daunts #hollandpark #theroyals
Yeah, Daunts on Marylebone High Street. London’s most fetching bookshop. The only bookshop in England where you feel like you’ve come on board an old, very sea-worthy frigate. Which in a sense you have. Cameo role on our Saturday afternoon Marylebone walk. www.walks.com #marylebone #frigate #sailingvessel #daunts #bookshops #highstreet
It was the first time David and I had been shopping in London for three years and we had SUCH a wonderful time using an accrual of book tokens at the fabulous @dauntbooks This was the haul. #Daunts #books #newtitles #oldbooks #secondhandbooks #newbooks #reading #bookshops #lovebookshops
What a birthday. Here it is mostly in reverse where I learn that turning sideways when having your picture taken really is better. Delivering proofs of The Memory of Animals to @bookbaruk @ink84books @dauntbooks @lrbbookshop @owl.bookshop and meeting/remeeting lots of lovely booksellers. Thanks for a great lunch team @penguinfigtree / @penguinukbooks. Reading on the train.

First sighting of my book in a bookshop window… @dauntbooks on Marylebone right in the centre of their Christmas display. What a feeling! Quite magical. Thank-you Daunts & to the nice lady in the street who took my photo! Farewell London - until next time! More bookshops to come… #bookshop #windowdisplay #daunts #rarebirdstruestyle #magical #whatafeeling #rizzoli #rizzolibooks #violetnlproject
My UK and Europe book haul is here❣️ I found it so hard resisting buying books every time I popped into the book shops! My favourite bookshop was definitely Daunts it was so beautiful but also the range at Foyles is next level. But I also loved visiting the smaller random bookshops I came across. I only wish I could have bought more, but alas my suitcase was already full of shopping 🤭 Which one should I start with ? I think I might start with Jennette McCurdys after seeing it all over bookstagram.
A wonderful evening in the company of author William Boyd at Daunts in Marylebone last night. He read from his lastest novel The Romantic and talked about his writing career and how he approaches writing a novel. Intellectual, warm and funny my friends and I were all smitten just as we have been with his books for years. . . #williamboyd #theromantic #daunts #marylebone #bookshop
On my way to have a coffee with my fabulous stepson and his even more fabulous 3 year old daughter … my granddaughter , I called in to this slice of heaven @daunts the most incredible bookstore I have ever visited. I was buying gifts for said 3 year old who is crazy for Cinderella !!!! She is please I am not a wicked stepmother! She thinks I am a ‘nice’ stepmother. 😂😂😂 #ukadventure #daunts #heavenonashelf

I was so thrilled that my travelling companion and good friend, the distinguished BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner could make it to the launch of my new book Explorer, at Daunt’s Bookshop. He arrived fresh from doing the six o’clock news, full of his useful gusto — just in time to successfully heckle my speech! On a more serious note: it is so good to have someone of Frank's calibre at the BBC news desk, able to give us such in-depth knowledge and perspective on Ukraine. He has been through so much himself — having been shot by Al Qaeda — but what I admired about him in the forests of Papua New Guinea was that throughout all the difficulties snd pain he faced, he remained very much 'his own man' — no fuss, no nonsense, just focusing on whatever opportunities might come along, despite the humidity, discomfort and heat of PNG as we struggled through the mud and undergrowth. His exclamation made to me as he was being prepared to be evacuated has stayed with me ever since… Such knowledge, such moral integrity, such spirit. #benedictallenexplorer #explorer #motivationalspeaker #mondaymotivation #writerslife #newbook #canongate #booklaunch #survival #livingyourdreams #bookshops #papuanewguinea #daunts #realiseyourdreams #frankgardner #birdsofparadise #determination #grit #lifepath #integrity #reality #travel #journeys #lifejourneys #memoir #autobiography #mylife #adventure #quest #spirit
I had a wonderful welcome home from my 6 year old daughter as I returned to Prague after the launch of my new book, Explorer, in London. It was a poignant reminder for me to think of not only so many Ukrainians, but also Syrians, Jews, Palestinians and of course millions of indigenous people forced from their homes in the past, today, and no doubt tomorrow… #benedictallenexplorer #explorer #motivationalspeaker #mondaymotivation #writerslife #newbook #canongate #booklaunch #survival #livingyourdreams #welcomehome #praguelife #mydaughter #daunts #home #momentsinlife #determination #grit #lifepath #travel #journeys #lifejourneys #memoir #autobiography #mylife #adventure #quest #welcomehome
Today, my new book ‘EXPLORER: The Quest for Adventure & the Great Unknown’ is available online to pre-order! Admittedly, it took a while to write — but now there’s not long to wait as it’s being released tomorrow March 3rd 😅 Direct link in the bio to find it! Benedict Allen read Environmental Science at the University of East Anglia and is a former member of Council of the Royal Geographical Society, Patron of the Environmental Justice Foundation, the Tony Foundation and Save the Rhino Trust. Best known, perhaps, for having pioneered the ‘video selfie’ as a result of filming his solo expeditions for television, he is also editor of The Faber Book of Exploration. #benedictallenexplorer #explorer #motivationalspeaker #mondaymotivation #writerslife #newbook #canongate #booklaunch #survival #livingyourdreams #RGS #savetherhino #environmentaljustice #papuanewguinea #daunts #realiseyourdreams #momentsinlife #determination #grit #lifepath #dreams #reality #travel #journeys #lifejourneys #memoir #autobiography #mylife #adventure #quest
Released tomorrow, March 3rd: Part meditation, part memoir, this is an enquiry into the explorer mindset and what it means to explore in the twenty-first century. Explorer is the story of what first led Benedict Allen to head for the farthest reaches of our planet – at a time when there were still valleys and ranges known only to the remote communities who inhabited them. It is also the story of why, thirty years later, he is still exploring. It’s the story of a journey back to a clouded mountain in New Guinea to find a man called Korsai who had once been a friend, and to fulfil a promise made as young men. It is also a story of what it is to be ‘lost’ and ‘found’. Honest, sensitive and packed with insight, in Explorer Allen considers the lessons he has learnt from his numerous expeditions – most importantly, from the communities he has encountered and that he has spent so much of his life immersed in. ‘To me personally, exploration isn't about planting flags, conquering Nature, or going somewhere in order to make a mark – it's about the opposite. It's about opening yourself up, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and letting the place and people make their mark on you.’ Benedict Allen draws on over thirty years of adventures, from the remotest human settlements to the clouded mountains of New Guinea, to question what it is that drives us to explore, and the responsibilities that come with it. He was named one of Britain’s greatest explorers by the Telegraph. #benedictallenexplorer #explorer #motivationalspeaker #mondaymotivation #writerslife #newbook #canongate #booklaunch #survival #livingyourdreams #RGS #savetherhino #environmentaljustice #papuanewguinea #daunts #realiseyourdreams #momentsinlife #determination #grit #lifepath #dreams #reality #travel #journeys #lifejourneys #memoir #autobiography #mylife #adventure #quest
