The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

Cathy Woodman

Laid-back Roman detective Marcus Didius Falco investigates crimes in the dangerous world of first century Rome, a place of political intrigue, corruption and murder.

After years of training, horse-mad Flick has finally achieved her dream of becoming one of the few female blacksmiths in the country. 
 
Her first job is in Talyton St George. The little cottage on the green where she is staying is idyllic, and it feels like the fresh start she needs. But she soon finds she is having to work overtime to prove her abilities to the not-so-welcoming locals. 
 
One person very much on her side though is Robbie Salterton. He’s a bit of a local celebrity – a handsome stunt rider who does charity work in his spare time – and he seems to be going out of his way to look out for Flick. But is he just being friendly or does he see Flick as something more? 
 
Despite swearing off men, Flick can’t help wanting to find out . . .

Springtime at Cherry Tree Cottage

(Talyton St George)

It's all change at Otter House as a new vet moves in. Perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Catherine Alliott

Even vet nurse Shannon warms to him. So when she needs a place to live, it makes sense to move in with Ross. Just as a friend, of course. 
 
As they grapple with escaped snakes and feral cats, their friendship deepens, until they can’t deny their feelings for each other any longer. 
 
But when a terrible accident leaves Shannon’s life in tatters, it changes their relationship forever. 
 
Because how will she ever know whether Ross is staying with her out of love or pity?
