Buckley Shops
During the summer of 1969 the author was home from art college in Manchester and noticed a change in his home town of Buckley, North Wales. The original Victorian and Edwardian shop fronts were disappearing or being modernised. For many generations shops were the heart of the community. Fresh produce was bought daily and customers talked to each another as they waited to be served. He decided to record them before they vanished for ever. Only eight shops were captured in the time that was available to him using a mixture of inks and gouache on cartridge paper. They have remained out of sight in a closed sketchbook in a drawer, until now. Comments and anecdotes have been added to these fine illustrations by many townsfolk who shopped regularly in these fine old buildings years ago. A snapshot of how ordinary people shopped locally for ordinary things.

The Claude Glass
Set in the Welsh Borders in 1980, "The Claude Glass" charts an unlikely friendship between two neighbours: Robin, the seven year old son of English hippie sheep farmers, and Andrew, a child so neglected by his impoverished parents that he is left almost mute, seeking solace among the farm dogs. Exploring his parents' semi-derelict farmhouse, Andrew finds an antique convex mirror - a Claude Glass - and, gazing into it, the two boys see their wild, rural landscape strangely ordered. But this comforting vision proves fragile as tensions and sexual jealousy rock the adult world around them. Written with a lyricism and freshness that echoes the work of Bruce Chatwin and Esther Freud, "The Claude Glass" draws you into the lives of its startling characters and their tarnished romance with nature.
