Set in the Iron Age, 350 BC, this book describes the trials and tribulations of a small tribe. One dark day, the tribe is attacked by a force of brigand-warriors. Some of the tribe are killed, roundhouses burned, some of their recently harvested crops, food and goods stolen.
Their Druid, Derwen, instructs the tribe to move to a new site, far to the south, because the brigand-warriors could return; the villagers are farmers, not warriors, so they cannot easily defend themselves.
The Druid has an apprentice, Aofred, who has to undergo years of training and survive harsh ordeals associated with earth, air, fire and water to become a full Druid.
Soon after the attack, following the Druid’s advice, the tribe embarks on an epic journey with their livestock and a convoy of many waggons and carts carrying everything they own, including their harvested crops. They arrive at their new site situated close to a great river and the sea. They eventually build a new village-fort. They have to plough new fields to grow their crops. Their livestock thrives.
They experience hunger months after a failed harvest, followed by a freezing winter that costs lives. They replant crops of wheat, barley and oats the following year, but if this harvest is not a success they will be wiped out.
The villagers have to overcome great difficulties to build a harbour and a sea-going boat to enable them to trade widely which they believe is essential for their wealth and to obtain things that they do not make themselves.
A powerful group of brigand-warriors attack them again; they must find a way to fight, survive and secure their future.

The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud
“Come on, you beast!” The man mumbled under his breath, quite unaware that he was being observed by several rather stunned onlookers. “Get over here!”
Despite his terse command, as if sensing the man’s edginess, the gelding merely laid his ears back and started shaking his head, soon lashing out with his long, delicate legs. High-pitched squeals of outrage soon followed, and at the disturbance, another person’s face suddenly peered out of the passenger window of the cab.
“You see, Daddy? That kind of behavior is exactly why we can’t keep it! I need a reliable horse that I can depend upon at all times.” The blonde-haired girl stared at the scene, almost in disdain, and then immediately continued whining again. “Hurry up, Daddy! I want to ride Secret Service again as soon as we get home. That horse is so much better behaved!”

The Kiwi That Kept Tumbling Down
This unique illustrated children’s story features a lively conversation between two flightless birds from New Zealand: the fast-running, loud-sniffing Kiwi and the clumsy-climbing, deep-croaking Kakapo.

Through humour and heart, this gentle tale introduces young readers to the difference between a problem and a situation. Adults, too, may find themselves reflecting on this thoughtful distinction, gaining a deeper perspective on how we respond to the challenges we face in life.
