When Rory Gallagher calls off his wedding to childhood sweetheart Kate Dowie, she vows never to return to Tonsbry, the Wiltshire country estate that has been her family's home for generations. Jilted only hours from the altar, she has no choice but to re-build her life in London. As heir to the estate, however, Kate cannot stay away for ever. After the death of her uncle Leo, her inheritance brings back memories. It also brings her massive debts, the threat of re-possession from a City loan company, and the devastating news that Rory is living and working in the grounds. They have one hope of saving the property: an ambitious plan to revive the gin distillery that once operated on the estate. Despite their new relationships, working together begins to heal Kate and Rory's emotional wounds...

Bill White's account of the bareknuckle days of BC labour sold out its first printing in two days. His stories of the struggle for labour and human rights in the Vancouver shipyards makes harrowing and fascinating reading. Bill White was head of the Boilermakers and Marine Workers Union in the heyday of the West Coast shipbuilding industry during WW II. He personally fought one of the first big right-to-work cases in BC history all the way to the Privy Council in Britain. He is as unrelenting - and colourful - now as he was then in his condemnation of companies and governments who don't treat their workers like human beings.

Like most of us, William Hagelund sees whales through compassion-ate eyes now, and marvels at the boom times of BC's whaling industry when he and a host of legendary old harpooners hunted down the great sperm and humpback herds off Vancouver Island without a trace of remorse. But those barnacled old mariners, whether they be seen as heroes or villains, were fascinated students of their prey and their story brings one close to the world of the great cetaceans. Whalers No More, the history of the west coast whaling industry, is an epic chapter in the history of whales and men, and Hagelund relates it in a warm and personal manner. The colourful and fascinating text is illustrated with photos and maps.

Who would have suspected the power of bubble gum? Atlas is bored. It's raining, so he sits inside, chewing a gumball. He blows a bubble and imagines that it is Australia. Then the stove becomes a Chinese dragon; the fridge is Antarctica, inhabited by penguins; the bathtub melts away into the Seven Seas; and the piano turns into an African elephant. Atlas even visits medieval England and Outer Space!In this, his first book, Paul Montpellier aims "to interest children in the world outside their own environment, and the pleasures involved in imagination and bubble gum." Atlas is a creative, unusual introduction to geography for all ages. The story is simply told for beginning readers, and it is also a good read-aloud book. Montpellier's beautiful, humourous, full-colour illustrations make Atlas a fascinating visual experience.
