Book Description
Jane is a New Yorker to the core, city-based and career-driven. But when her teenage daughter Natalie falls in with the wrong crowd at her Manhattan school, Jane's British husband Andrew decides to relocate from new York to a small village on Britain's Cumbrian coast, buying a vast and crumbling former vicarage. Jane hates everything about her new life: the silence, the solitude, the utter isolation. Natalie is no better, and their son Ben struggles in his new school. Even worse, Jane's difficulties create new tensions between her and Andrew. When Jane finds a scrap of an old shopping list, she becomes fascinated with Alice James, who lived in the vicarage decades before. The Vicar's Wife takes readers on an emotional journey as two very different women learn the desires of their hearts - and confront their deepest fears.

Amid the grandeur of the remote Pacific Northwest stands Kingcome, a village so ancient that, according to Kwakiutl myth, it was founded by the two brothers left on earth after the great flood. The Native Americans who still live there call it Quee, a place of such incredible natural richness that hunting and fishing remain primary food sources. But the old culture of totems and potlatch is being replaces by a new culture of prefab housing and alcoholism. Kingcome's younger generation is disenchanted and alienated from its heritage. And now, coming upriver is a young vicar, Mark Brian, on a journey of discovery that can teach him—and us—about life, death, and the transforming power of love.

Book Description
Welcome to the cosy village of Woolly Bush, set deep in the heart of the English countryside. It has all the standard features of a typical village – the cake shop, the war memorial, the vegetable show, the vicar – apart from two big differences: it’s all made of wool, and none of the characters have clothes on! Nudinits: Tickled Pink is an acclaimed stop-motion animation film currently showing on YouTube and at international film festivals, and has been wowing viewers around the world. Every puppet, set and prop in the film has been knitted by hand and it’s full of cheeky English humour in the grand old Carry On film tradition. So, here it is: the book of the film! With hilarious stills from the film paired with rude and amusing captions, the book reveals a day in the life of this most unusual of villages. But it's not just a humour book: included are 20 exclusive knitting patterns so you can knit Bernard and Barbara, upstanding citizens of Woolly Bush, and a selection of their accessories and accoutrements including assorted amusing vegetables, interestingly shaped buns and Fufu the cat. Bursting with British eccentricity, double entendres and the odd bare bottom, this enchanting book will appeal to humour-lovers and knitting fans alike. Word count: 6,000 words
