Mike Harding's first four Little Books for Aurum, published nine years ago - Gargoyles (9781854105615), Green Men (9781854105639), Misericords (9781854105622) and Stained Glass (9781854105646) - have each sold between 20,000 and 30,000 copies and reprinted numerous times. Now at last, as Aurum also re-jackets and re-launches these original books, Mike Harding publishes four new titles, with a stunning new cover treatment. Devils & Demons is a gallery of often luridly diabolic carvings, statues and wall-paintings from churches and chapels both across Britain and in Europe. Here are the flying demons of Great Malvern, the Hellmouth on a misericord in Shropshire, Buddhist demons in Nepal and India, not to mention diabolic cats carved in mediaeval churches in Devon and Derbyshire and Lucifer, prince of darkness, his skin turning into scrolls of leaves. Impish, leering, scary, outlandish, here are a fascinating and astonishing collection of stunningly-photographed devilry and dooms. As with all Mike Harding's little books, this is a beautiful little gift book as well as an erudite like monograph, at a superbly competitive impulse-buy price. Mike Harding is a comedian and radio broadcaster who has a weekly show on Radio 2 on folk music and presents the annual British Folk Awards. He lives in West Yorkshire.
