A Year at Bottengom’s Farm



by Ronald Blythe


If you are familiar with Ronald Blythe’s writing, you will welcome this new collection of pieces first published in the Church Times as ‘Word from Wormingford’. His descriptions of his home and surroundings, his activities at home and away, are written with such a lovely turn of phrase, I read some parts over and over again. Peppered throughout are memories of writers and artists long gone, of stories of locals and of his visitors, all making for a warm and comfortable feeling as you absorb his love for people and ‘his’ countryside. If you are new to Ronald Blythe’s writing, you have a treat in store.

You Are Mine

- A Story for Everyone

by Max Lucado


Max Lucado’s stories were first published for children but hold a Christian message for us all so I am very glad that these very special stories about Punchinello, his Wemmick friends, and their maker Eli are now published in a format for ‘everyone’. You can’t give a children’s book to a teenager or adult, but the gentle truths taught in the story will be enjoyed by all ages, so do look at this book and You Are Special
