Book Description
From the author of Inca-tastic Tales comes a new collection of short stories: Jungle-tastic Tales! Are you brave enough to join Yacumama, the Amazon's most humongous and powerful snake, on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Amazon Region in South America? You are? Fab! Then grab your camera, mosquito net and raincoat, and LET'S GO! You're gonna travel through thousands of years of history and culture (a lot of which not many grown-ups know about!). For example, did you know...? - There were once huge cities in the Amazon rainforest. - The Amazon is home to millions of different species of animals and plants. - The first city in Peru to get electric street lights was in the Amazon Region. - A Premier League footballer grew up in the Ecuadorian Amazon. If that's got your interest, then jump in the canoe and we'll get started straight away. We'll start with the Ice Age and go right the way through to modern times. Oh, and Yacumama promises not to bite you! She'll be on her best behaviour. Praise for The Mysterious Helpers: "really exciting" "a good yarn" "I believe everyone should read this beautiful story."

Book Description
What have women in Somerset got up to over the years? Oh, nothing much. Apart from... - worshipping goddesses - travelling the world - burning down a castle - arguing with the queen over swans - writing mega-popular books - fighting against slavery + racism - voting before women were officially allowed to vote ... and a few/loads of other things! ;) And most of these women aren't well known at all. Let's change that! Come along on a journey from before the Romans came all the way to the mid-1900s to meet women in Somerset who were unrecognised, unrewarded and uncelebrated.

Book Description
Unsung Women in Somerset is a book of real-life and legendary women who lived, loved, worked and struggled in Somerset. From pre-Roman to modern times, we meet women with courage, kindness, innovation and even some who smashed the rules! Through 23 chapters, we meet most women through a short story, followed by historical notes about the woman and a chapter bibliography that shows the meticulous research that has gone into the book. Most chapters also include a Quick Tribute section that briefly mentions other interesting women from the same century. Meet the woman who had two funerals. Meet the African princess who survived and thrived despite the odds. Meet the woman who voted... before it was legal. Meet the openly gay artists whose generosity touched their neighbours' hearts. Meet the queens and saints and "witches" and workers and much more! These are the unsung women of our county. This is the history of Somerset like never before.
