Herry Perry (1897-1962) is an important, but neglected, artist of the 1920s-50s. This book brings together all aspects of her art for the first time.

Jo (Josephine) is twelve and a half, and not particularly looking forward to yet another family fortnight in North Wales.Despite her earlier misgivings, however, the holiday takes a definite turn for the better as she gets to know some of the locals... including an eighteenth century pirate! Clearly he needs her help to understand and deal with the modern world, and together they make a great team.The story contains a mixture of reality and fantasy, but which is which? You decide. The greatest gift to give a child is... time.

This haunting novella is a dream of a (hopefully distant) time, in which the world has undergone a near-terminal self-inflicted, environmental catastrophe... the signs are already here. Populations have been decimated and London, along with all the great cities, lies in ruins.Hope arrives from the skies in the form of a colonising race of talented and beautiful people who guide the remaining near feral survivors to build themselves a wonderful and idyllic future.But perhaps independence and self-determination are more important than a life of plenty, pleasure and luxury.
