Littleton Powys – The Joy of It (hb)
The autobiography of a remarkable man, a teacher and naturalist whose optimism, knowledge and enthusiasm influenced generations of the young men under his tutelage. It is also a testament to a life lived to the full, to the bonds of love that bound the author to his parents and siblings, and to the enduring rewards that knowledge and contemplation of the natural world provide.

T. F. Powys – Kindness in a Corner (pb)
Kindness in a Corner is Powys's only truly humorous novel, with no unpleasant or evil characters to disturb the all-pervading atmosphere of bucolic innocence. Yet, underneath the rural comedy and tenebrous humour we may detect the author's true preoccupation.
Original price GBP 12.50
OUR PRICE GBP 5.00 + P&P
T. F. Powys – Unclay (pb)
‘Unclay, a companion novel to Mr Weston’s Good Wine, deserves to be placed among the author’s finest work.’ The last full-length novel of T. F. Powys, Unclay is the summation of his life’s work. Though not without precedents, the manner and the substance of this strange, compelling, not always comfortable book are uniquely his own.

Alyse Gregory – King Log and Lady Lea (pb)

Alyse Gregory – She Shall Have Music (pb)
She Shall Have Music was Alyse Gregory’s first novel published in 1926 while she was Managing Editor of The Dial. The book draws from Gregory’s real life, gives her a platform for examining her feminist beliefs and, strangely enough, foreshadows the consequences of her choices.

Elizabeth Myers – Twenty-Three Stories (pb)
This new selection of her work brings together twenty-three of the most diverse and incisive of her stories – a mixture of the comic, the sentimental, the pathetic and the tragic.
