New Writing

'Sitting on History' in bronze by Bill Woodrow

Different styles and approaches to writing all with France as the theme

There’s journalism from Sian Duval as she makes her passionate plea for us to become more French in our food tastes and demands. John Liley’s honest memoir takes us through his lifetime’s passion for inland waterways – and his struggle over the years with the exasperating side of French authority. We have a diarist’s humour from Rodney Davies as he gets to grips with turning his dream into a reality, and gentle satire from Max Aniane as she reflects on French kissing. There's the evocative poetry of Barbara Dordi and Marilyn Floyde's story of King Arthur's last journey to Avallon, in The Pendragon Connection.
