To celebrate the paperback publication of  One Cornish Summer author Liz Fenwick is running a  'Cornish Summer Memories' feature.

I was delighted to be invited to share my own relections on Cornwall, where my family and I spent many happy holidays.

As I leant towards this calf, it began to suck the end of my plait!

A Proud Mother

At the moment I can think of no better use for my blog than to celebrate the achievement of my son, Thomas Williams

Thomas Williams

It's less than a year since the hardback of his book VIKING BRITAIN was published by William Collins.

August 9 is the publication date ot the paperback version of his book  and here it is in all its glory.

NB: Since I wrote this two weeks ago the publishers are already talking about a paperback reprint!

VIKING BRITAIN - A History

There are a few of my illustrations in the book but the very striking cover illustration was produced by Joe McLaren.
