In Home, Palfrey shares his beautiful images and stories of the many people and places he has encountered around the world in his work and travels over the past 45 years. A lifetime of observation and experience with children is channeled into his lyrical image making and poetic text. Home ruminates on the variety of human and animal experiences across the globe, taking us from North and South America, to East Africa and South Asia, among other places. The result is a joyous and moving book that leaves us with a poignant message: that all living creatures need to have safe places that they consider 'home', where they can be protected, loved, sheltered, preserved, fed and surrounded by communities of adults.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49747994902801,"sku":"NGR9780903696654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51281382637841,"sku":"GOR014215453","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51432055046417,"sku":"NIN9780903696654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0903696657.jpg?v=1773914491"},{"product_id":"sean-palfrey-wander-book-sean-palfrey-9780903696869","title":"Sean Palfrey: Wander","description":"Wander features Sean Palfrey’s beautiful, varied and insightful travel photography and writings, exploring the joy of following a winding course.   To wander is to travel without a fixed route or destination, to move expectantly through the world. Wander, the second volume in Sean Palfrey’s photography book series, explores the joy of following a winding course.    Palfrey is a renowned paediatrician and child health advocate, who travels the world with his work and for pleasure. His fascination with people, places and stories informs both his artistic and professional practices. Wander traces Palfrey’s journeys across continents and cultures over five decades and features seventy photographs of remarkable places, from the mountain ranges of South Africa to the beaches of Chile, the woods of Canada to the deserts of New Mexico, to name a few. In the text accompanying each photo, Palfrey explores the stories and myths of the localities as he recounts his experiences, thoughts and meditations in lyrical narratives.    Wander depicts and describes vastness and intimacy, beauty and loss, heritage and change. Palfrey affirms photography’s capacity to spark our imaginations: ‘Every photo here has a story, a back story, a then-story and a since-story.’","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51595817255185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51595817976081,"sku":"NGR9780903696869","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/090369686X.jpg?v=1751012139"},{"product_id":"sean-palfrey-dance-book-sean-palfrey-9780903696913","title":"Sean Palfrey: Dance","description":"Dance showcases Sean Palfrey’s creative vision in a beautiful suite of images drawn from his photographic archive, each of them accompanied by poetic reflections on the very idea of dance.  What presents itself to our minds when we hear the word ‘dance’? Movement, music and rhythm, of course. The jitterbug and the slow waltz. But what if we go beyond the obvious?    Dance, the fourth volume in Sean Palfrey’s photography series, seeks to expand our conception of dance and to find and celebrate its presence in the world around us: in the graceful shape of a flower or leaf, in the elegant cursive of a spiral staircase, and in the joyfully uplifted arm of the newlywed.    Palfrey is a renowned paediatrician and child health advocate who travels the world with his work and for pleasure. His fascination with people, places and stories informs both his artistic and his professional practice. In Dance, Palfrey has curated a beguiling set of pictures and poetic texts that riff on movement and stillness, rhythm and flow, and the poetry of the curve. He asks us to consider the form of the ancient, gnarled tree, or the sinuous line of the winding river; the play of light and shadow on a frescoed wall, or the luminous colours of stained glass – all these are examples of dance. It is everywhere around us: pay attention and we will find it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51595818467601,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51595818795281,"sku":"NGR9780903696913","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0903696916.jpg?v=1771496454"},{"product_id":"sean-palfrey-promise-book-sean-palfrey-9781917627115","title":"Sean Palfrey: Promise","description":"\u003cb\u003ePromise showcases Sean Palfrey's portraits of children and young people - joyful, curious, resilient - pairing images gathered over decades with compassionate, reflective stories.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePromise\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, the latest title in Sean Palfrey's photography series, the photographer-physician draws on his immense archive to present a suite of portraits of children and young people from across the world.
