ROBBY
“A Triumphant Testament to human willpower and love.” – Sir Richard Attenborough. This is the story Robby, who at the age of six was diagnosed as suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a disease for which there is no known cure. The book demonstrates the power of positive thinking and attitude to life, and is a testament to human willpower and courage. It is a narrative of suspense and adventure about a man, a woman and a boy. Their love for each other, their wonderful and never-ending send of humour, their determination and will to live enable them to overcome the obstacles put in their way, so they can live, laugh, love and be happy.

Legends in Limestone
Whereas twelfth-century pilgrims flocked to the church of St-Lazare in Autun to visit the relics of its patron saint, present-day pilgrims journey there to admire its superb sculpture, said to have been created by the artist Gislebertus whose name is inscribed above one of the church doors. These two cults, of sculptor and of saint, form points of departure and arrival for Linda Seidel's study. Legends in Limestone reveals how "Gislebertus, sculptor" was discovered and subsequently sanctified over the course of the last century. Seidel makes a compelling case for the identification of the name with an ancestor of the local ducal family, invoked for his role in the acquisition of the precious relics. With the aid of evidence drawn from the richly carved decoration of the building, she demonstrates how medieval visitors would have read a different holy narrative in the church fabric, one that constructed before their eyes an account of their patron saint's life. Legends in Limestone, an absorbing study of one of France's most revered medieval monuments, provides fresh insights into modern and medieval interpretive practices.
Pit Lasses
Women have long been recognized as the backbone of coalmining communities, supporting their men. Less well known is the role which they played as the industry developed, working underground alongside their husband or father, moving the coal which he had cut. The year 2012 is significant as it is the 170th anniversary of the publication of the Report of the Commission into the Employment of Children and Young People in Coal Mines (May 1842). The report findings included the revelation that in some mines half-dressed women worked alongside naked men. The resulting outrage led to the banning of females working underground three months later. The Report of the Commission has been neglected as a ...
