 | THE GIANT AND THE MOUSE The beautiful illustrations to these nine tales bring to life the gentle, fun-loving giant and the bustling, houseproud, scolding mouse. But for all their differences, the pair live together happily (well, usually!). by Sandra Saer ISBN 978-0-9534611-2-7 |
 | COUNTRY PEOPLE: AN ENDANGERED SPECIES Best-selling, because of its recent, sadly increased, topicality, this title is the result of fifteen years’ careful research by a scholar and long-time rural priest: an unusual anthology, avoiding (or trying to avoid!) nostalgia, compiled with scholarship and remarkable tenderness. by Tony Hodgson ISBN 978—9534611-4-1 |
 | CHRISTMAS PLAYS FOR CHILDREN These CHRISTMAS PLAYS were written for my own four children, when small; one a year, over a period of five years. They were performed in our Chelsea mansion flat, to entertain family, friends and neighbours – and they did! Quite undated (except perhaps that I am “Mummy”, not “Mum”!), they are short, simple plays, requiring no special scenery, and very few props, for children aged between five and thirteen, and they can equally easily be put on either at home or at school. The names can of course be changed to suit any cast. by Sandra Saer ISBN 978-0-9568591-1-2 |
 | MOLLY : THE YEARS AT ENDS PLACE Molly nee Mackay, was born into a respected Wiltshire family of Scottish descent, owners of the renowned Trowbridge cloth mill, Palmer and Mackay. She met her husband-to-be, Harry Gregson through their mutual love of horses. From a child, Molly had been happiest when riding, either alone or with the Duke of Beaufort’s Hunt. The book also chronicles out outstanding association with the Crawley and Horsham Hunt, of which she was a member, and Master, over many years. by Ron Muggeridge ISBN 978-0-9512619-4-1 |
 | AN EVER-ROLLING STREAM This memoir of a Sussex farmer, always a devout Christian but only late in life becoming a priest, was described by Michael Adie, the then Bishop of Guildford, as '…the outline of a lovely and lively man, who seems to have grown younger with the passing of the years…' This is not, however, just a Sussex book; not just that of a committed Christian. Its appeal it to all those interested in local and family history, and rural life before World War II, and during it – covered in clear, first-hand descriptions. It also paints a true picture of the ever-changing farming scene: now a tragically changing one. by Norman Wyatt ISBN 978-0-9512619-3-4 |
 | ALONG THE BRONZING LANES : Poems through Life The writing of poetry can succinctly chart a person’s life. Thus, there is a cathartic element in this anthology, but that by no means infers self-indulgence.)The anthology includes poems which have been broadcast on radio, and published in magazines and other collections, and the poet has given, and still is available to give, readings of them to public and private audiences by Sandra MacGregor Hastie ISBN 978-0-9512619-6-7 |
 | SURPRISED BY JOY: a History of the Community of the Servants of the Cross This lovely little book, written at eighty-two by Sister Jane, when she was laid-up with an illness, is a record 'for all those who care for our Community, and for those who care about dedicated lives in every walk of life’. Bishop Eric, the former Bishop of Chichester, calls it 'an admirable and encouraging story’. by Sister Jane of the Cross ISBN 978-0-9534611-3-4 |
