MAX AND THE
MIDNIGHT LAMB

It is past midnight in the Yorkshire Dales. A lamb has been born too early. Dr. Hartley needs to reach the farm on Moorside Hill — and the only way through the storm is Max.

The first book in the Landyville series. Set in the world of James Herriot's Yorkshire — stone walls, lambing season, the smell of rain on heather. For ages 4–8 and every parent who remembers what a real Land Rover sounds like at night.

BEST
DAYS
EVER.

Real overland adventures, rewritten through the human lens. The person is always the hero. The Landy is the companion. These are the stories that made the scratches worth it.

BEST DAYS EVER
#1 OF 3

The Whisper That Said "Go Now"

Tim Slessor · Singapore to London · 19,000 km · 2019

He is 87 years old. He lives in a small one-bedroom flat. He doesn't have a garden. And he is about to drive a rattling, leaking, 64-year-old Land Rover from Singapore to London. He did this before, in 1955. Now they're calling this one The Last Overland.

"An inner whisper has been saying to me — do it now, before it's too late. You're only here once."

Land Rover Series I, 1955 · SNX 891

What a Grandfather Leaves Behind

Alex Bescoby & Nat Slessor · Singapore to London · 2019

The plan was for Tim Slessor to be in the passenger seat. Then Tim fell ill. And the seat stayed empty. But Nat got in anyway. There is something about a grandson climbing into the same vehicle his grandfather drove 64 years earlier that doesn't need explaining.

"You drive through these countries through the back door, and you realise that most people are just the same."

Land Rover Series I, 1955 · Oxford SNX 891

55 Years to Finish

Mike Andrews, Ben Mackworth-Praed, Martin Hugh-Jones · Alaska to the Arctic Ocean · 2015

In 1958, two veterinary students at Cambridge had an idea. Cape Horn to the Arctic Circle. They made it almost all the way — and then ran out of time. For 55 years, that last stretch of road sat unfinished. Then Ed Angel found the Land Rover.

"I never thought I'd see this vehicle again."
