Although this novel is the second part of a Trilogy, it can still be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone work. The fact that Rod Langford achieved classification as a midget by just half an inch did not sit well with him. It did not sit well with him at all. But when a washing machine literally falls from the back of a lorry at his feet, Rod wonders whether at last his luck is changing. Some people though are just born unlucky; and it is a well known fact that when hope is taken away, a man may fall far indeed. Can salvation come to Rod in the form of the locals from the pub around the corner? And what of his wife, Liz, who whilst working nights in the local supermarket, spends her time considering the benefits or otherwise of inserting poison into a variety of condiments? Into the troubled lives of Rod and Liz Langford come the Eastern Region Angel Collective. But what, and who, are this mysterious organisation? Angels? Really? Either way, it seems, somebody is going to get seriously hurt... The Bird That Nobody Sees is a novel about friendship, hope and compassion - full of humour and intrigue and a continuation of the themes developed in Tollesbury Time Forever.

The Bird That Nobody Sees: FRUGALITY: Book 2

This is the story of how I - Rossi Innocenti - left this red earth in a hot-air balloon made entirely of orange roses. With me were a seven-foot-tall Hell's Angel, a one-hundred-and-twenty-three-year-old man and a boy whose feet were on backwards. All of us were naked. First I was gone. Then I was way gone. So long. It's just Merzougaville, baby... Are you ready for the ride?

It has long been an established fact that to pass successfully from childhood into adulthood, all you have to do is find yourself a rabbit-hole and jump straight on in. Lewis Carrol even wrote a book about the process. A mad book but a great one. But, of course, once you come out the other side into that adult world, it all gets a little more complicated - particularly when you begin to feel the need to have children of your own. So, Matthew and Angelina James, I hear you're feeling the need? Well you'd best get in that old VW Campervan and head on over to Elysian Wonderland, enter that ancient forest and groove on down into adventureville. Oh, and best you discover just what Purple Alice is all about. For you both saw her when you were children, both watched on as she, well, anyway. Just because you don't remember, it doesn't mean it didn't happen - right, Alice? If you go down to the woods today... Elysian Wonderland is a novel of curiosity, despair, courage, love and, of course, wonder.
