Goshawk Poems
These verses are from goshawk observations since 1955; my first experiences of the bird in the wild overseas-anecdotes of camp life, falconers, birds and probable escaped or released individually, few enough anyway, are considered largely irrelevant in this naturalist's view. Few publications, bar the 1995 Goshawk Lives booklet, so well and generously prepared by Harry Gilonis' Form Books, have been used; most of this edition is new. I have used almost entirely only notes made at the time, in now well over 500 notepads, and diaries and letters; memory illumines only a narrow broken trail. (Colin Simms)

Approaching the Terminus
Born in Derbyshire in 1951, John Simms developed a love of railways at an early age, a passion that would shape his life and eventually see him become one of three finalists for a Group Travel Organiser Award. Although he considers himself a Somerset man, Simms has travelled extensively across Britain and around the world, exploring railway lines, meeting fellow enthusiasts, and even encountering celebrities drawn to the charm of steam locomotion.From riding in half-century-old coaches and engaging with passengers, to absorbing spectacular scenery and documenting local routes, his journey is one of deep enthusiasm and lived experience. Approaching the Terminus – A Life Around Railways is an engaging memoir that offers a detailed account of heritage railways, their links to film and television, and the many highs, lows, and takeover attempts that shaped them – culminating in thoughtful reflections on an intriguing life.The book traces a lifetime spent around railways, from Derbyshire collieries and the Somerset & Dorset line to volunteering with the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust and the Corris Railway. Simms also spent twenty-two years working full-time behind the scenes, promoting the West Somerset Railway to both the general public and dedicated enthusiasts. Along the way, he weaves in incidental but entertaining reflections on beer, pubs, and music—including the unlikely story of how Aunt Fortescue’s Bluesrockers were played on air by John Peel, beating The Desperate Bicycles to the punch.Both a valuable reference for railway enthusiasts and an enjoyable memoir in its own right, this is a fascinating journey through a life lived alongside the rails.

Golden Christmas
A holiday romance, rich in historical particulars, from South Carolina's foremost writer. Rife with historical details and peppered with comic characters, ""The Golden Christmas"" remains a timeless tale of South Carolina's rich holiday heritage. Originally published in 1852, William Gilmore Simms's classic low country romance chronicles the social customs and Christmas traditions of an antebellum plantation near Charleston. Drawing influence from ""Romeo and Juliet"" and ""A Christmas Carol"", Simms centers his plot on the pride of a Huguenot family, the prejudice of an English family, and the plight of star-crossed lovers, Ned Bulmer and Paula Bonneau, to win the blessings of both feuding houses amid a festive and frantic holiday season. Simms populates his novel with a lively cast - a learned Northern professor, a young English nobleman, opinionated widows, a blustery plantation owner, a condescending servant, a pig-thieving coachman, and a good-hearted barrister. Interwoven into the text are engrossing details about the lavish decorations and festivities that were the hallmark of Christmas celebrations in the antebellum South. Vibrant fireworks, candles nestled in holly, games of whist and backgammon, Yule logs, eggnog, and a visit from Father Chrystmasse all play their parts as the narrative unfolds. Here, too, are accurate descriptions of dress, dialogue, recreation, cultural mores, social hierarchy, and a vivid tableau of a shopping trip to Charleston's King, Queen, and Meeting streets in the 1850s. In equal parts a novel of manners and comic romance, ""The Golden Christmas"" is now, as it has always been, a holiday gift to lovers of Southern lore from South Carolina's most famous author. This edition includes an introduction by Simms historian David Aiken.

American Poems
Colin Simms - poet, naturalist, and lifelong independent observer - was born in 1939, and lives as an author and freelance naturalist in the North of England, with journeys throughout the northern hemisphere, wherever his objectives live - his homes have been where the martens, otters, birds of prey and other enthusiasms are. He is not an orthodox conservationist, but insists on the privacy, 'isness', for wildlife which modern trends deny. He also demonstrates the poet-naturalist's concern for precise observation, apposite language and cadence. North American wildlife and the Native American tribes, and their history, have been a life-long fascination of his; this volume brings together all of his long poems, and a large number of shorter poems on these themes.
