Ethel & Ernest
A marvellous, life-enhancing book for all ages, now a major animated film starring Jim Broadbent, Brenda Blethyn and Luke Treadaway Utterly original, deeply moving and very funny, Ethel & Ernest tells the story of Raymond Briggs' parents' marriage, lady's maid Ethel and milkman Ernest, from their first chance encounter in 1928, through the birth of their son Raymond in 1934, to their deaths, within months of each other, in 1971. Told in Brigg`s unique strip-cartoon format, Ethel and Ernest live through the defining moments of the twentieth century: the darkness of the Great Depression, the build up to World War II, the trials of the war years, the euphoria of VE Day and the emergence of a generation from post war austerity to the cultural enlightenment of the 1960s. Ethel & Ernest is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute to an ordinary couple and an extraordinary generation.

Vegetable Dyes: Being a Book of Recipes and Other Information Useful to the Dyer

With recipes and tips on using plant dyes, this book is a great introduction to dyeing wool, cotton, linen, and silk in small home-quantity lots. The descriptions of how to collect lichens and rainwater for brown dye and using stale urine as a mordant are both hilarious and informative. With sections on mordants, British dye plants, and specific colors like blue, red, yellow, and green, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in natural dyeing.
