Out of Call Or Cry
In this study of life on Sark, the smallest of the Channel Islands, Grace Ingoldby uses her novelist's craft to weave a surprising and detailed picture of island life since the turn of the century, using the voices of the islanders, aged from nine to ninety. Sark is a feudal kingdom, still only accessible by sea, whose 500 people have kept themselves apart from the 20th century and who now find themselves in collision with it. There are no cars, no bureacracy, no divorce, and schooling is provided only up to the age of 15. Sark's massive cliffs and its isolation, once protective, have now become a liability. The book is framed by her friendship with the oldest man on the island.

Guernsey, Sark and Herm
"Through the presentation of 150 color photographs, the author presents a fascinating portrait of these elusively handsome islands. The photographs have a poetic nature, capturing the tricks and moods of light and the conjunction of seascapes, harbors, boats and historic buildings, an evocative view of the life and landscape. In the words of the Guernsey Lieutenant Governor's foreword: ""The outstanding coastline beauties of Guernsey, Sark and Herm are matched by the architectural heritage of mellow granite houses and peaceful rural lanes. The ancient and modern history of the islands left its imprint in many ways on their faces and this has been beautifully captured by the dazzling photographs in this book."" Chris Andrews photographs and produces books, calendars, posters and cards in the Channel Islands and in England, and his work is widely used, via the picture library, in publications of every sort throughout the world."
