Inspired by the behaviour and sayings of the author's young children, this book draws on the influences of Edward Lear and Spike Milligan to bring to life fictitious characters from the author's home village in West Yorkshire. The poems, along with illustrations, are primarily intended to entertain children, though some do contain adult innuendos. If this book brings a smile to the face of the reader, then the writing of it will have been worthwhile. A 'must' for the family bookshelf - buy now before they throw them all away.

This history of the books of Reading Abbey covers the period from the abbey's foundation to its dissolution, and follows up the dispersal of the book collections to c.1610. It provides valuable material on the ways in which books were used, and about the intellectual life of medieval monastery. Alan Coates makes an important contribution to our understanding of the fate of monastic books and book-collecting in the post-Dissolution period.
