THE KING'S TOADS and MORE KINGS' TOADS
These detail the progress of one family ( the Bottrill family) through history. If you're interested in mediaeval history with all the true, salacious anecdotes about William Rufus, Richard the Lionheart, The Templars, Edward II, you'll like them.

The Boterels of Brittany effectively won the Battle of Hastings for William the Conqueror. Over the next four centuries, the Boterel family (Earls of Richmond and Dukes of Brittany) stayed close to the kings and prospered, sometimes through military support: sometimes through much more personal services….

And the family spread, one line being the ancestors of George Washington!

THE EDINBURGH GRAIL

A convent girl becomes a student and learns to deal with men - lechers, conspirators, and suitors at home and abroad. She falls in love, but dark forces conspire against her. A surpise confession avoids a messy ending, and she marries her cousin.

KEEP YOUR HEAD IF YOU MOVE TO FRANCE

It isn't just the bureaucracy; there are lots of pitfalls in everyday life. You need to know about these. There are lots of advantages to living in France, but OH! the disadvantages.

PRACTICAL PALMISTRY

It’s not a how-to-do-it book. It’s a palmist’s embarrassing experiences with some taboo topics:- Worry, piles, masturbation, psychic power, suicide, sexual potential - you wouldn't believe some of the things!

Congenital health weaknesses, the best careers for your child, indications of Death, recognising a psychopath, the importance of dreams - are also discussed with a lot of humour. And there are LOTS of illustrations.

NO CARROTS FOR DINK

Dink, the hungry Donkey, tries to steal Billy, the goat’s, thistles. But he eats Billy’s beard by mistake! The other animals hold a Council to decide what to do.

Claudia, the Cow, thinks ‘Council’ has something to do with cow. So she goes off to Cyril, the Squirrel to have a beauty treatment.

Meanwhile Scroggins, the Bear, and Gruntlet, are trying to steal honey from the bees.

REPLACEMENT IN HEAVEN

Gudrun grows up behaving sometimes like a boy, sometimes like a girl. After death, she gets a tour of Heaven and its surprises. She is given a job caring for those like herself who have never really come to grips with who they are.

This allows her to understand why she’s had a confused life, and her two halves are reunited.
