“One of the most remarkable books I have ever read...” – A N Wilson. It is no wonder that the latest book from Jenny Balfour-Paul, a world authority on indigo, has been met with such praise. Weaving together her own travels with those of Thomas Machell, a 19th-century midshipman, ‘Deeper than Indigo: Tracing Thomas Machell, forgotten explorer’ is an original and insightful glimpse into a world that will resonate with anyone. Similarly for those with the indigo bug, Mary Lance’s feature length documentary, Blue Alchemy: Stories about Indigo, is essential viewing. Lance looks at both the history and future of the dye, leaving no stone untouched. For your chance to win a dvd of the documentary film along with a hardcover copy of Balfour-Paul’s book, together worth over £40, visit this page.
