Kate’s books

"Being able to ignore the outside world and curl up with a book is one of life’s luxuries."
Kate shares her highly personal account of her journey from London town house to Welsh smallholding and then farmer.
After twenty years of living in London, Kate Humble and her husband Ludo left the city for a Welsh smallholding, then Kate hears that a nearby farm is to be broken up and sold off. Desperate to stop the sale, Kate contacts the council with an alternative plan – to keep the farm working and to run a rural skills and animal husbandry school alongside it. Against all odds, she succeeds. Humble By Nature is the story of two people prepared to follow their hearts and save a small part of Britain’s farming heritage, whatever the consequences.
If there is one thing that most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. And yet attaining happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple.
Kate Humble’s fresh and frank exploration of a stripped-back approach to life is uplifting, engaging and inspiring – and will help us all find balance and happiness every day.
Thinking on My Feet tells the story of Kate’s walking year – shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. Kate’s inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout.
As she explores the reasons why we walk – whether for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, Kate’s reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action.
A Friend for Life is Kate’s heart warming exploration of the relationship between man and his best friend.
This animal, which lives alongside five hundred million of us all over the world – as an invaluable partner and a trusted confidant – presents us with one great unsolved mystery: how did this relationship – the most complex and enduring of any between human and animal – start in the first place?
