The Fiddle Book
The Fiddle Book is about Fiddles, Fiddlers and Fiddling. It is not about violins. Violins are played in string quartets and symphony orchestras. Violins play sonatas and concertos and tone poems. Violinists are people like Jascha Heifetz and Isaac Stern. Fiddles are played at square dances and hoedowns in the front parlor or the back yard. Fiddlers play jigs, reels, hornpipes and the like. Fiddlers are people like Uncle Charlie Higgins, Eck Robertson, Grandma Davis and Max Collins. This book is about fiddles. It is the most comprehensive document on the folk music fiddle and fiddling styles ever published, and includes the music to more than 150 fiddle tunes faithfully transcribed from the playing of traditional musicians.
Nellie
Nellie White (nee Askey) was born in 1906 and brought up in a working-class Darlaston family. Her daughter, Marion Rowley, has compiled this book from memories passed on by Nellie, and the result paints a vivid picture of the Darlaston that has disappeared. The folk who walked the streets of this bustling little town and lived in its back-to-back houses would not recognise it today. The changing face of Darlaston is discovered here, set against the backdrop of Nellie's own life, and we see her through childhood and schooldays, times of privation, teenage years and marriage. Nellie's memories were recorded during her old age, and she recalls in astonishing detail the minutiae of everyday life in this part of the Black Country during the first half of the twentieth century. This book will be a valuable record of days gone by and is sure to appeal to those interested in the social history of the Black Country.

Patriots of African Descent in the Revolutionary War
Many children do not know that African indentured servants, as well as free blacks and slaves, all assisted in the founding of our nation. There were between 5,000 to 20,000 patriots of African and Native American descent who served in the Continental Forces under the command of General George Washington. This stunning new picture book is historical fiction, told by the family historian to his great-grandson about their family's military and patriotic service as African-Americans during the Revolutionary War. The two are direct descendants of two patriots. One was a free black man, Sergeant Isaac Brown, who served in the 7th, 11th and 15th Virginia Regiments of the Continental Line. Readers ...
