Perdita and the May People
Perdita lives in a world of books and stories, but real life is just as full of exciting things: dancing archaeologists, para-gliding grannies, maypoles and ancient wells and strange music … and two more people called Perdita. And they all seem to be connected…
Perdita and the Midsummer People (comes with a long short story, ‘What Didn’t Happen at Samhain’)
First there is a lady chained to a birch tree, and then Perdita sees a huge White Horse where there isn’t one, and then there is a farmer ploughing dangerously close to a fairy ring … And the wild Midsummer festivals are coming closer and closer …
Perdita and the Christmas People, or, What Happened at Tolpuddle
Perdita knows that in all the best books, there are families with lots of cousins and they have lots of adventures. So, when her family and her cousins spend Christmas together in a huge old house at a village called Tolpuddle, she knows what ought to happen. But will it?
Peter Hunt was the first Professor of Children’s Literature in the UK: he now writes books for his grandchildren, which is much more fun.

buy my mother's talisman
more info
England, 1960.
The ‘swinging’ decade is about to blossom but nineteen-year-old Sorika Broadbent is no swinger. Unhappy with her London job, she retreats home to Aunt Esme, her surrogate mother.
Abandoned by her own mother, her father dead, her self-confidence at rock-bottom, Sorika’s future looks far from rosy. But a chain of unexpected events starts her on a quest to find the mysterious talisman – and her mother, the woman for whom it was intended.
Would she succeed? What, or who, would she find along the way? Will she find her own identity?
‘Lucinda’s third novel has all the ingredients for a great read. As we follow Sorika from Berkshire to Devon to Virginia, USA, in her search for the elusive talisman – and for the mother who abandoned her – drama, passion, despair and humour all combine with an intriguing bunch of characters to keep the reader absorbed.’ Yeo Valley Literary Circle

buy teaching dyslexics how to read and write music
more info
She says: “I know from experience that the basics of reading and writing music are necessary if you want to perform well as a singer or musician. How else can you really understand what the composer wants from you? Can you imagine what it must be like to pick up a piece of music and see all the components moving around a page? Or to want to perform a particular piece of music but to be unable to remember the words you are supposed to sing, even though you can see them clearly in front of you. Or to be unable to access the information the composer has given you to perform the piece? The experience can be overwhelming. I believe that with the correct aids and methods many of the problems experienced by dyslexic and learning disabled students can be signifi cantly reduced and, in some instances, resolved. My first experience of teaching a dyslexic student made me realise that although there were aids and methods that could assist in their learning, they were not easily available. Much of the information was anecdotal and there was no one place to access it all from. I have researched and tested the anecdotal evidence and developed my own methods. I also employ assistive technology when teaching my students, some who are now experimenting with composing music. This book presents the aids and methods I have found most effective when teaching a dyslexic student and I hope you and your students will find it useful.”

Briton Ferry. A small town near the banks of the river Neath, once a bustling industrial town with busy docks (fed with coal from the Afan valleys, transported down via the incline) and heavy industries, such as steelworks. In among all this hustle and bustle there was a need for a sporting recreation to alleviate workday stresses. An escape from the smoke and the heat.
What better than a game of rugby?
Many teams were formed in the last decades of the 1800s and in the early 1900s, within the town itself and in the surrounding areas, but one stands out as the shining beacon, Briton Ferry RFC.
This is the story of rugby in the town, the playing grounds, headquarters, games won and lost and, above all, the characters who have enriched the clubís history over the last 125 years ñ from Welsh internationals to war heroes, from whole families (whose huge service helped bind the club together) to individual players and committee members (who have all played their part). And there is a promise of more history, to be written by a new breed:
