The Readers
(extracts from letters to the author)

"I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading A Normandy Tapestry. I thought that your book was exceptionally good value - quite equal to 'A Year in Provence'" Mrs Sarah Appleby, Brampton, Cambridge
"I thought your book was BRILLIANT. I have always been interested in the Norman lineage; also the excerpt on D.Day, which clarified a number of things, even for me who was involved in it! " R.W. Deacon, Yeovil
"The weave of your book is quite masterful. I just could not put it down. Sometimes I laughed so much I woke my wife up. At other times I was deeply moved. Then she got hold of it; and the same thing happened all over again in reverse. Thank you! " Richard Avery, Boston
"I thought your book A Normandy Tapestry was superb. I hope you make a lot of money out of it. One has to read it a few times to glean all the information contained in it " Ken Garrett, Brighton
"Thank you particularly for avoiding the arrogant and condescending 'here be peasants' tone of some works that I've read on rural France, and for the most enjoyable and accurate evocation of the French countryside that I have ever read. " Glyn Fenton, Coutances, Normandy
"A classic. A book to read and reread; but not to lend out!" Sandy Heron, Los Angeles
"What I love about your book is that it can be read on two levels-as an excellent evocative read, or the second time more slowly, savouring and digesting all that you say. That you make it work on both levels make it, in my mind, a masterpiece." Marie-Anne Duval, Rouen
