Icon announce today new additions to our schedule for early next year which we’re really excited about.

The Dickens Dictionary by John Sutherland is a gloriously wide-ranging alphabetical companion to Dickens’ work, by the UK’s best-known critic of Victorian literature. It’s published at the start of February, a month packed full of celebrations of Dickens’ bicentenary.

Commemorating an anniversary of a far darker kind in April is a new, fully revised and updated edition of Martin Bell’s classic account of the Bosnian war, In Harm’s Way. The book includes a substantial new introduction reflecting on the state of the Balkans since the war’s end, and Bell’s role at the subsequent war crimes tribunal of Radovan Karadzic.

Publishing website Bookbrunch has stories about these two books here, but you’ll need to be a subscriber to read them in full.
