Morning Light
In the spring of 1982, 68-year-old George Griffiths sailed solo from Britain to Barbados, where he was met by his two sons. The younger son, Mark, joined his father to sail home to Canada by way of the Panama Canal and up the Pacific coast. Mark's older brother, Blair, flew home to begin work as a CBC cameraman documenting the Canadian Mount Everest Expedition Team, with its 26 climbers, 30 Sherpas and more than 200 porters. Six months later, Blair Griffiths was dead, crushed by a six-storey wall of Everest ice. Through heroic efforts the team finally managed to recover Blair's remains, and there followed a heartbreaking cremation on a pyre of rhododendron boughs. Eventually two of the team succeeded in summiting the mountain. In 1985, George Griffiths trekked with his grandson to Everest Base Camp, where Blair's ashes were laid, in order to say goodbye. In this place of awe and majesty among mountains and sky, father and adventurer found peace. Written from taped accounts, diaries, letters and reports, Morning Light: Triumph at Sea & Tragedy on Everest is a poignant saga of adventure and high emotion that celebrates the human spirit and its need to explore.

Grasshopper
Poetry. Almost immediately after the death of poet Margaret Ann Griffiths was announced on the website Eratosphere, poets from all over the English-speaking world, from London, Derby, Scotland, Wales, Queensland, New South Wales, Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota, Missouri, Maryland, California and Texas collected her work for this publication. The intention was to preserve her work, which previously was scattered around the Internet in dozens of different locations. GRASSHOPPER: THE POETRY OF M A GRIFFITHS is intended as an archive of Margaret's work and contains 316 poems, some scraps, some work in progress, but mainly finished poems. First published by Arrowhead Press in the UK in January, 2011 and reprinted by Able Muse Press in the US in April, 2011, the book now resides in the National Archive at the British Library and in the main Copyright Libraries.
