Sphere has acquired A Year Unfolding: A Printmaker’s View, a "beautifully" illustrated guide to nature through the seasons by printmaker Angela Harding.
Fiona Rose, senior commissioning editor, acquired world rights directly from the author. Publication is scheduled for 4th November 2021.
A Year Unfolding is Harding's first book and is billed as both a celebration of her prints and a glimpse into her "detailed and meticulous" process. It will show a journey through the artist's year in nature and tell stories behind some of her most popular images.
Rose said: "Angela’s stunning prints have adorned the covers of other books and she is loved by readers everywhere, we thought it was high time that she had a book that celebrated her work. This is a very special, beautiful book that gives rare insight into a celebrated artist’s process and the stories behind the images that we all know and love so much. We’re so thrilled to welcome Angela, her beautiful prints and evocative prose to the Sphere list."
Harding commented: "A Year Unfolding is a collection of my images done over many years but though the prints have been made at different times, they have at their core the same thing – my love of nature. I hope you will enjoy this journey though the seasons and the thoughts and feelings I have about my garden, my home and the places I have visited that inspire my artwork. This book is a personal response to watching, drawing and writing about the British countryside throughout the year."
