Summary

The second rip-roaring tale featuring Bertie, the savvy blue bird with a taste for (mis)adventure!

Newly re-elected Independent MP James Timbrill is a hero to his constituents and now lives in marital harmony with his wife Celeste and their super-sentient hyacinth macaw Bertie in the not-so-wilds of the Gloucestershire countryside.

Some people, though, aren’t keen on James’s political impartiality, and mean to make sure that he starts singing to their tune. A cabal of criminal businessmen presents James with an offer he can’t refuse – not if he wants to keep all his bits intact! Resist and there will be consequences – for him and his loved ones.

But those ultimate dodgy dealers haven’t counted on the Sisterhood – a secret society dating back to the ancient world – nor the combined talents of an ageing ex-copper, a determined hairdresser, and our heroic macaw…

A fantastic farce for fans of traditional British satire.

    A pictorial survey of the 20 miles of railway line between the junction station at Llanelly and the county town of Carmarthen in West Wales. Railway historian John Hodge looks at the development of the lines in West Wales, between these locations, taking in the history of the local industry that was once a feature in this area. This book covers each station and main location along the route, with good photographic coverage and interesting long captions explaining the location’s significance. Additional text is provided for several locations, giving more historical detail and anecdotal information: Llanelly West/Old Castle CrossingPembrey & Burry PortCarmarthen Bay Power StationLando HaltKidwelly Flats HaltKidwellyFerrysideCarmarthenCarmarthen JunctionCarmarthen New StationCarmarthen Junction ShedCarmarthen Shed The work is of interest to railway historians and those who accurately model railways, having a good coverage of the subject throughout its pages.“Narrative summaries of each of the major locations are provided, but the real strength of the book lies in the several hundred photographs which the author has brought together. These include the huge and diverse range of steam motive power to be found at Carmarthen shed over the years, a fine selection of views of Carmarthen station itself, everyday and special trains passing through rural and often highly scenic locations, and useful views of the intermediate stations and signal boxes which will be particularly valuable to the modeller and historian.” —West Somerset Railway Association

    The towering sand dunes along Lake Michigan not far from Chicago are one of the most unexpected natural features of Indiana. Dreams of Duneland is a beautifully illustrated introduction to the Dunes region, its history, and future prospects. This area of shifting sands is also a place of savanna, wetland, prairie, and forest that is home to a wide diversity of plant and animal species. The preserved area of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore sits by residential communities, businesses, and cultural attractions, evidence of a long history of competition for the land among farmers, fur traders, industrialists, conservationists, and urban and recreational planners. With more than 400 stunning images, the book brings to life the remarkable story of this extraordinary place.
