Blue in the Face

Magnificent Tales of Misadventure

By: Gerry Swallow

A rollicking and humorous tale about a reluctant hero saving a world you only thought you knew. Elspeth Pule can throw a tantrum the way a pro quarterback can throw a football. So when her parents refuse to buy her a pet alpaca, she screams, hollers, and holds her breath until she passes out cold. When she wakes, she finds herself in a magical kingdom inhabited by nursery rhyme characters she only thought she knew. Humpty Dumpty is a 007-type spy, Bo-Peep is highly trained in the art of Shaolin stick fighting, and Old King Cole is really Old King Krool, an evil tyrant who has banished Dumpty, Bo-Peep, and their friends to the forest--and to a life of poverty and oppression. Self-centered as she is, Elspeth couldn't care less about their plight. But if she ever wants to see home again, she will have to make a few new friends . . . and show them that sometimes a good old-fashioned tantrum is exactly what's needed. Told in a hilarious voice with black and white illustrations throughout, this "revolutionary" tale is perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Pages & Co.

Every Man an Emperor

The Battle of Arnhem/Oosterbeek 17Th-25Th September 1944

By: Gerry Leaper

A fact-based novel about the Battle of Arnhem/Oosterbeek. Market Garden was an ill-planned airborne operation to capture the main bridges over the Rhine in Holland in order to allow the 30th Armored Corps to sweep into Germany. American paratroopers were assigned to the two nearer bridges at Eindhoven and Nijmegan and the British 1st Airborne Division to the most northern bridge at Arnhem - 50 miles behind enemy lines. From the start it had been recognized by a senior commander as possibly being "a bridge too far". It will remain the biggest airborne operation ever executed. The First Airborne Division had seen action in North Africa 18 months previously but had missed out on the D-Day landings when its brother division - the Sixth - had been in the vanguard of those operations. Both Churchill and Montgomery were keen to commit this elite force into battle, but the speed of the allied advance after D-Day forced the cancellation of 16 operations, until Market Garden offered the opportunity to send the paratroopers into action. They cobbled the operation together in seven days using parts of the previous plans. In their haste to commit the troops, they made many planning mistakes and ignored vital shortcomings such as inefficient radios, the loss of the element of surprise, dropping the men in three daylight installments, and evidence showing that the Germans had based heavily armed troops close to the bridge. The operation was doomed from the start. The failure was heroic - only a small fraction of the force reached the bridge and held it against overwhelming odds - not for the planned 24 hours but for more than double that time, being forced to surrender only after they had run out of ammunition. Despite heavy casualties, the remainder of the force fought a defensive action waiting for the arrival of the 30th Armored Corp, but after a week, they were forced to withdraw across the river. Five Victoria Crosses were awarded for bravery during the operation. Whilst the three main characters are fictional, they are based on true characters. There really was a Corporal Bert, and the Caythorpe Commando really existed. We follow the three men through their training and share their fears and terror of their first parachute jumps, and then follows them into action for the first time. A picture of life in a Lincolnshire village in 1944 is drawn and we see the effect on the villagers when the paratroopers arrived and lived amongst them. The diary of the Dutch girl, who helped to nurse wounded paratroopers, whilst fictitious, has been vetted by a Dutch lady who herself lived in the heart of the battle as a child. The widow of an officer who fought at Arnhem as a member of the Lonsdale Force has read and approved the novel.

English Orchards

A Landscape History

By: Gerry Barnes,Tom Williamson

Old orchards have an irresistible appeal. Their ancient trees and obscure fruit varieties seem to provide a direct link with the lost rural world of our ancestors, a time when the pace of life was slower and people had a strong and intimate connection with their local environment. They are also of critical importance for sustaining biodiversity, providing habitats, in particular, for a range of rare invertebrates. Not surprisingly, orchards and the fruit they contain have attracted an increasing amount of attention over the last few decades, from both enthusiastic bands of amateurs and official conservation bodies. But much of what has been written about them is historically vague, romanticized and nostalgic. Orchards have become a symbol of unspoiled, picturesque rural England. This book attempts, for the first time, to provide a comprehensive review of the development of orchards in England from the Middle Ages to the present day. It describes the various different kinds of orchard and explains how, and when, they appeared in the landscape – and why they have disappeared, at a catastrophic rate, over the last six decades. Chapters discuss the contrasting histories of fruit growing in different regions of England, the complex story of ‘traditional’ fruit varieties and the role of orchards in wildlife conservation. In addition, a chapter on researching orchards provides a practical guide for those wishing to investigate the history and archaeology of particular examples.

Trees in England

Management and Disease since 1600

By: Gerry Barnes,Toby Pillatt,Tom Williamson

There is currently much concern about our trees and woodlands. The terrible toll taken by Dutch elm disease has been followed by a string of further epidemics, most worryingly ash chalara – and there are more threats on the horizon. There is also a widely shared belief that our woods have been steadily disappearing over recent decades, either replanted with alien conifers or destroyed entirely in order to make way for farmland or development. But the present state of our trees needs to be examined critically, and from a historical as much as from a scientific perspective. For English tree populations have long been highly unnatural in character, shaped by economic and social as much as by environmental factors. In reality, the recent history of trees and woods in England is more complex and less negative than we often assume and any narrative of decline and loss is overly simplistic. The numbers of trees and the extent and character of woodland have been in a state of flux for centuries. Research leaves no doubt, moreover, that arboreal ill health is nothing new. Levels of disease are certainly increasing but this is as much a consequence of changes in the way we treat trees – especially the decline in intensive management which has occurred over the last century and a half – as it is of the arrival of new diseases. And man, not nature, has shaped the essential character of rural tree populations, ensuring their dominance by just a few indigenous species and thus rendering them peculiarly vulnerable to invasive pests and diseases. The messages from history are clear: we can and should plant our landscape with a wider palette, providing greater resilience in the face of future pathogens; and the most 'unnatural' and rigorously managed tree populations are also the healthiest. The results of an ambitious research project are here shaped into a richly detailed survey of English arboriculture over the last four centuries. Trees in England will be essential reading not only for landscape historians but also for natural scientists, foresters and all those interested in the future of the countryside. Only by understanding the essentially human history of our trees and woods can we hope to protect and enhance them.
