For Heaven’s Sake
For Heaven’s Sake is a humorous, light-hearted depiction of Norfolk village life, centred around the village church of St Jude’s in Forling Down. Centre stage is its larger than life rector, Father Cyril; his eccentric curate, Father Aubrey; and many other very idiosyncratic characters. The reader is very quickly drawn into the chain of disastrous situations and the author’s first-hand knowledge of East Anglian life makes them all very believable. Many of the chapters are ‘laughing out loud’ amusing, so be prepared for a roller-coaster ride of village humour!

Frédéric and the Bone Suckers
In France, in the last century, it was not easy to be a frog. Quite apart from the general Gallic urge to consume the legs of you and your friends, there existed a foul group called the Bone Suckers who actively hunted wild frogs and fed them up while devising cruel ways to enlarge those juicy legs. Then they ate you. There were also, of course, the frog circuses, which were all both fiercely competitive and also always on the lookout for new performers – they were not a particularly loveable bunch either. So you needed to be permanently on the alert, as enemies were never too far away. Imagine just how much worse yet your life might be if you had other personal problems too! Imagine that you were frightened of water! That would never happen, would it? To a frog? Well, you know, it isn’t impossible. Bone Suckers, frog circuses and water could make life pretty tricky for a 20th century frog.
