Jean-Jacques Rousseau - philosopher, novelist, composer, educationist, political provocateur - was on the run.
In Rousseau's Dog, David Edmonds and John Eidinow bring their narrative verve to the bitter quarrel that turned these two Enlightenment giants into mortal foes.
An evocative tale that is uniquely West Indian in feel, this work should delight adults and children alike. Illustrated throughout in full colour the pictures and story match perfectly.
Helen Bellany, twice married to the artist John Bellany, recalls their lives together in Scotland, London, and Italy, John's rise from poverty and obscurity to worldwide recognition, and the human cost inherent in creating great art.
