This volume contains three books that tell of the author's experiences travelling around countries such as America and Russia, as the world was about to be transformed by war, and of life in a Cornish cottage and flower farm. A Cat in the Window is a tribute to the author's famous pet.
The first title in the Minack Chronicles, which tell the story of how Derek and his wife Jeannie left behind their London home to establish a flower farm on the coast of Cornwall. From inauspicious beginnings, this book includes tales of the couple's first animals, including Monty the ginger cat, and takes us through trials and tribulations until the arrival of a gull on the roof provides the first augury of better times to come.
When Jeannie and Derek Tangye withdrew to a clifftop flower farm in Cornwall, sophisticated London society protested, but an even wider circle was enriched by the enchanted life they shared and which Derek recorded in the MINACK CHRONICLES. Jeannie died in 1986, and, in tribute to her extraordinary personality, her husband has written this portrait of their marriage. All the delight of the MINACK CHRONICLES is here- the daffodils, the donkeys, the Cornish magic. And all the fizzle and pop of champagne days at the Savoy is captured as Jeannie dazzles admirers from Danny Kaye to Christian Dior.
Lama is the fifth title in the Minack Chronicles, which collectively tell the story of how Derek and Jeannie Tangye left behind their London home to establish a clifftop flower farm on the coast of Cornwall. From inauspicious beginnings, the couple gradually settled in, and the books go on to cover many tales of their beloved animals, including Hubert the gull, Monty the ginger cat, Boris the duck, Penny the donkey and many others.
Delving into letters, papers and diaries Tangye finds snatches of his past in the remote Cornish village of Minack.
The second title in the Minack Chronicles, this tells in more detail the story of Derek and Jeannie's beloved ginger cat Monty. From the first moment Derek, who was not until then a cat-lover, met a tiny bundle of fur with Jeannie, through to the pet's old age when he would still walk down to the stream to make 'Monty's Leap', this is a touching story of friendship between two people and their cat.
The story of the cats and donkeys on the author's Cornish farm.
Tessa Hainsworth used to have it all - except time, peace of mind and leisure to enjoy the fruits of her labours in her executive job with The Body Shop. One momentous spring, she and her husband decided to start again - and UP WITH THE LARKS describes Tessa's first turbulent year, adapting to her new life in the remote South West. Now, in SEAGULLS IN THE ATTIC, Tessa reveals that despite being a fully-fledged member of the community, life is no easier. Being part of small-village life isn't always straightforward. Yet the reality of financial downsizing and learning a whole new way of living hasn't lessened Tessa's natural exuberance and sense of fun - instead they help her to turn all the hardships to her advantage...eventually.
This is one of the author's Minack chronicles about his Cornish flower farm. He tells about New Year resolutions and what happens to them.
The fourth title in the Minack Chronicles tells the story of how Derek and Jeannie acquired two donkeys, Penny and Fred. From the first steps and learning all about donkey foibles, through to picnics in the meadows, this is a further charming instalment in the tales of the Tangye's life at Minack.
