Tunerville
If you've ever wondered what would happen if you could meet a ghost, talk to it, or even touch it, this book is for you! Paranormal investigator Chris Taylor really wants to see a ghost. So he invents a remote control that tunes them back into the physical world. Hoping to help stranded spirits, he sells the rights to a TV network, only to see his gadget disrupt both earthly and unearthly society. The tuner's effect on humanity threatens the dimension that houses the afterlife, known as the Realm. Its Directorate sends an emissary, Callahan, to oversee a solution: Chris must persuade people to stop using his invention. The living don't want to give up the tuners - and neither do the dead. Chris enlists help from his friends, Callahan, and a groovy Seventies ghost and begins a clumsy romance with activist Hannah Lively. But when a scientist bent on glory tweaks the tuner and opens a dangerous portal, they're forced to devise a perilous plan to stop her. What follows takes Chris on a journey he never imagined, one that could ultimately cost him everything.
The Women who Invented Twentieth-century Children's Literature
Publishing for children between 1930 and 1960 has been denigrated as a relatively fallow period for creativity and quality, certainly in comparison with the golden ages' of children's literature that preceded and succeeded it. This book questions this perception by using archival evidence to argue that the work of what was predominantly a female group of editors, illustrators, authors and librarians (collectively referred to as bookwomen) resulted in many titles which are still considered as classics' today. The bookwomen reframed ideas about how children's publishing should be approached and valued and, in doing so, laid the foundations for a subsequent generation of children's authors and publishers who were to achieve far greater prominence. The key to the success of the bookwomen was their willingness to experiment, the strength of their relationships and their comprehensive understanding of the book production process. By focusing on a selection of women working across all aspects of the book production process, this book demonstrates that, both individually and collectively, women capitalised on their position as other' to the existing male institutions.
Hovel in the Hills
We are pleased to announce that we are now the exclusive North American distributor of this fine list from Wale's largest independent publisher. They specialize in non-fiction about Wales, its culture and history (including autobiography), as well as the history of the Celts and the Tudor period. They also have some children's books about Welsh history and folklore. West and her husband take to the hills of rural Wales to restore a derelict farmhouse.
Garden in the Hills
In this sequel to Hovel in the Hills (available from Dufour), Elizabeth West continues her story of living a rustic life. She and her husband bought a semi-derelict cottage in the bare uplands of North Wales. Comfortable, and with their house repaired, they take on the challenge of their surroundings. Partly a how-to manual for keen country gardeners, partly a tale of moral and spiritual commitment, partly a love story, Garden in the Hills is a charming and powerful narrative by a skilled, natural writer. Originally published in 1980 by Faber & Faber.
