Synopsis
Thirty-five years after the publication of Ronald Blythe’s classic portrait of an English village, Akenfield, Craig Taylor returned to the Suffolk village on which the book was based. He sought out locals who appeared in the original book to learn how their lives had changed, met newcomers and interviewed Ronald Blythe himself. The result reverberates with the voices of the villagers: young farmers, retired orchardmen and Eastern European migrant workers talk about farming in an age of globalisation; commuters, weekenders and retirees discuss the realities behind the rural idyll; and the local priest, teacher and pub owner describe the daily pleasures and tribulations of village life.Latest Additions

Herring on the Nile - L. C. Tyler
In an effort to rejuvenate his flagging career, novelist Ethelred Tressider embarks on a "research trip" to Egypt. No sooner has the cruise on the Nile begun, however, than events quickly unravel: an attempt is made on Ethelred's life; the boat's engine explodes, and a passenger is found murdered. As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
