REVIEWS

The Zoo's Annual Piggyback Race and This is Dobbo  http://www.booksmonthly.co.uk/children.html
" BOOKS MONTHLY SAYS: Beautiful illustrations - youngsters will love this - some of the rhymes are a little weird, but no one will mind, it's a beautiful book and children will love having it read to them at bedtime!" about The Zoo's Annual Piggyback Race

The Zoo's Annual Piggyback Race has been reviewed by The Picture Book Review - highly recommended!  "I'm impressed and looking forward to seeing more of their books. I hope you get a chance to check it out!" - Picture Book Review

APPLES AND ORCHARDS OF SUSSEX has been reviewed by The Sussex Wildlife Trust magazine by Petra Billings

BLUE PETER - BEHIND THE BADGE BY ALEX LEDGER reviewed by SAGA MAGAZINE - by Moira Petty

LAND ROVER FILE 65TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION - BY ERIC DYMOCK, reviewed by  http://www.4x4i.com
"As a book, it's great 'square' format, and has suitably high production values, which makes the cost of £22.50 particuarly impressive. It's also an independent publication, and that's always worth supporting. Well worth putting on any 4x4 enthusiast's bookshelf; great as a reference tool, but equally enjoyable just to dip in and out. I will be doing both. NF

Latest review for Jane Austen & Adlestop

***** 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition to Jane Austen Biography 13 April 2013
By Elaine Fairweather
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
For someone who has already plumbed the biographical details of Jane Austen, this book offers a refreshing new aspect. Tracing back along the maternal line, Victoria Huxley reveals the rich and interesting history of the Leigh family.

With the same delight one reads about Elizabeth Bennet being taken out of her relatively humble home situation for a tour of Derbyshire and being invited into Mr Darcy’s circle at Pemberley, one follows with elevated spirits Jane Austen’s visits to Adlestrop and Stoneleigh. Other biographers merely record these visits took place. This book has taken this little bit of Austen history so often passed by, opened it up and brought it vividly to life.

The influences of such visits have clearly contributed to many of the scenes, places, houses and landscapes Jane describes in her novels. Page after page there is a delicious sense of familiarity as one walks the same pathways Jane Austen must have trod. Victoria Huxley writes in a very readable and warm style, yet her research and the inferences she makes resonate with scholarly truth and integrity.

The work is a valuable addition to any collection of Austen biography. It has redressed an imbalance in my understanding of just how well connected Jane was, and of her intimate knowledge and experience of the higher echelons of society and wealth. It has also deepened my understanding of the values, issues and attitudes of the time.

As well as enjoying this book in its own right, it also promises to enhance my pleasure in re-reading Jane Austen’s novels. When I do, it will be with a fresh eye and deeper understanding, together with a more whole view of that great author’s life.
