A delightful collection of verses about animals, bugs, and other creatures--for precocious preadolescents and lighthearted adults. Rosemary Butler's bouncy rhythms, clever rhymes, and sometimes silly words appeal to the reader's sense of fun, and her illustrations complete the the experience.

For some travel aficionados, trips need a theme: art galleries, vineyards, museums, golf courses, hunting, fishing, etc. Rosemary Butler's journeys with her husband Charles simply feature ghosts. In Ireland, England, and Spain, the couple visits a few well- known castles and inns, and some less known destinations that seem just as haunted. Come along and imagine being there with them, if only in spirit!

Seven Newport women died in the Great War. Only four of them are commemorated on the Newport Roll of Honour. This book rights that omission and also pays tribute to the work of other Newport women who survived the war. It celebrates the lives and sacrifices of suffragettes, munitionettes, philanthropists, nurses and those who volunteered for the newly-formed women's services. Life for women was never to be the same again as they took giant steps towards a more equal society. At home and abroad, they contributed to the amazing changes for women in the world created by the war to end all wars.
