"We still read Cooper today because he was the first of our authors to seize upon the dramatic
possibilities of that unfallen western world that stands at the beginning of our national life."--J. W. Ward

The Prairie marks the final chapter in James Fenimore Cooper's great saga of American frontiersman
Natty Bumppo. Though nearly ninety in 1804, Bumppo is still competent as a frontiersman and trapper, now
on the Great Plains. Once more he is drawn into conflict with society in the form of an emigrant party led by
the surly Ishmael Bush and his miscreant brother-in-law Abiram White. And once again this great man of nature
is called upon to exhibit his courage and resourcefulness to rescue the innocent.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
