Nine Avenues
Through the fourteen stories in this collection, Guy Cranswick explores "home" and what can happen when it proves elusive. In the title story, The Nine Avenues were "nine small roads that ran up the same route in unsealed tracks. The roads were joined and trees planted by the side of the road." So too the disparate characters in Nine Avenues, who search for home via different routes, converge in the realization that the journey sometimes matters more than the destination.
The Lamplight and the Stars
Nathan Cranswick's has concerns about his family's future. A gentle and wise preacher, he accepts a job on the Heron estate, but far from experiencing tranquillity his new life is beset by problems. A family scandal and the Boer War provide menace, but it is the agonising choice facing his daughter which threatens to tear the family apart.
Bomber Barons
At the end of the Second World War over 55,000 air crew of Bomber Command had lost their lives, in this authoritative book, the Author selects a number of men, some well known like Leonard Cheshire, Hughie Edwards, but many less known such as Nick Knilans, Syd Clayton and Jo Lancaster, and details their careers, relating episodes that reflect the qualities that made them outstanding. Bomber Barons shows the development of Bomber Command from compartively unorganised, non-cohesive raids of the early part of the war to the highly-trained and deadly offensive weapon it became under Sir Arthur Harris, from 1942 AOC-in-C of Bomber Command, the greatest baron of them all.
