The Adventures of Another Pooh
David Yeandle started caving in Somerset at the age of sixteen. He quickly became addicted to this adventurous sport.

It celebrates the heroism, faith, and family solidarity of the Christians, but also displays the suffering of both sides in the war and questions the justification of all killing. Gyburc, whose abandonment of her Muslim family and conversion to Christianity are the immediate cause of the war, bears a double burden of sorrow, and it is from her that springs a vision of humanity transcending religious differ...
