Female-led European literature with a focus on place in nonfiction, narrative voice in fiction, diversity in poetry and panache in photography and visuals.

Illustrations by Margiad Evans/Peggy Whistler and Kreg Yingst.

This edition celebrates female pioneers, freedom and nature's own laws.

In a two-part special on Margiad Evans, we appraise her artwork (including previously unseen drawings and illustrations) and her contribution to nature writing and environmental philosophy.

A three-part feature on winter sport comprises prose by Jerwood awardwinning author Rachel Hewitt presenting the St Moritz milieu of author, sports photographer and pioneering Victorian mountaineer Lizzie Le Blond; the UK's first curated collection of Le Blond's breathtaking photography itself, and a paean to skating, past and present, cultural and physical, by Jay Griffiths, winner of the Orion and the Barnes & Noble Discover awards.

Plus ghost stories by former Hollywood scriptwriter Stephen Gregory, and the international Rubery Book Awardwinner, JL George
