Tigers' Tales
Countesthorpe’s Active Arts group decided to arrange a concert by the local Helix Ensemble, as part of our Heritage Lottery Funded programme marking the centenary of WWI. At the accompanying exhibition of memorabilia from that time we were all impressed with the information Penny Mount has of the life of William Buckingham VC who had come to the village Cottage Homes (as that forward looking offshoot of Leicester’s workhouse became known) when his family could no longer care for him. Penny was persuaded to present these facts in book form. It was felt that some more information about the village at that time would make those facts, press cuttings and photographs into the interesting book we now offer as ‘Tigers’ Tales, recalling the local name for the regiment. Jimmy’s tale came from a story told by Harold at the November memorial church service to recognise the centenary.
Patricia St. John Tells Her Own Story
Anyone who has read Patricia St. John's books already knows how her stories come alive, and this account of her own life is no exception. Her powers of description make the story leap from the page and the reader is transported to far off places and times; and the people and the things she describes can almost be touched, smelled and seen.Patricia was not just a gifted story-teller, though; she was also a deeply committed follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose spiritual journey began when she was only six years old. 'My name is Patricia, ' she prayed, 'and if You are really calling me I want to come and be Yours. ' Out of that small beginning there issued a river of life and light and bles...
Help Me, Jacques Cousteau
Hazel is only a toddler when she sails back to Canada with her parents to begin a new life. As the boat dips and dives across the ocean and sends her bed crashing against the walls, Hazel wakes up to the tragic reality of the world around her. From then on, life seems a constant struggle as Hazel juggles with the miseries of childhood, while attempting to make sense of the odd bunch of grown-ups around her. After all, how much help can you expect from an uncle who collects only white animals, or a grandfather who drives around with a dead dog on the back seat of his convertible, when you have to confront your first day at school, the arrival of a baby brother or your parents' divorce? Still, life could be worse, thinks Hazel, she could be in the chess club, or have a name like Bogdana or Flower... In this haunting and extremely funny account of the world according to Hazel, Gil Adamson's first work of fiction, written twn years ago and published now for the first time in the UK, reminds us that although growing up is about sorting out life as it is, from life as it should be, stories will always be there to help us pretend.

Hilf mir, Jacques Cousteau
Skurril, witzig, charmant - die perfekte Sommerlektüre Die junge Hazel wächst in Kanada in einer skurrilen Familie moderner Exzentriker auf: Ihr Vater experimentiert gerne mit den elektrischen Leitungen im Haus herum, sodass jeder mal einen Schlag abkriegt. Ihre Mutter geht auf Socken zu Partys, weil Sie keine eleganten Schuhe in ihrer Übergrösse findet. Ihr Onkel liebt seine Haustiere - eine Gans, ein Pferd, eine Katze, ein Hund - und lässt sie zum Wettschwimmen antreten. Und Hazel muss zum täglichen "Fischsitting" zu ihren Nachbarn gehen und freut sich, wenn Jacques Cousteau in den Weiten der blauen Meereswelt auf dem Fernsehbildschirm flimmert. "Hilf mir, Jacques Cousteau" ist das ebenso komische wie anrührendende Porträt einer unkonventionellen Familie mit schrägen Ticks und Macken. Gil Adamson beschreibt ihre Figuren liebevoll und mit lakonischem Blick fürs Detail. Sie erzählt kraftvoll, pointiert, aber auch mit grosser poetischer Leichtigkeit.
