The colourful characters who inhabit this fictional Exmoor village have yet another battle on their hands in this fourth novel.

 | Bilbury Pie
A delightful collection of short stories set in and around this fictional Exmoor village. Every community has its characters and Bilbury is no exception. Thumper Robinson is the local "Jack the lad" and Pete is the taxi driver, shop owner, funeral director and postman rolled into one. Patchy Fogg dispenses advice on antiques to anyone who will listen and Dr Brownlow is the eccentric and rather elderly retired local doctor. This super collection of stories would make a wonderful introduction for newcomers to the world of Bilbury - or a perfect bedtime read for confirmed Bilbury fans."I have just read Bilbury Pie recommended by a local library. I enjoyed it so much I read it like 'eating a box of chocolates' 2 or 3 chapters at a time to make it last and savour its flavour. I thank you for giving people pleasure and plenty of smiles." (Mrs G., Banbury)"I was in the library when my wife noticed your book Bilbury Pie. I read the short preface and being a country chap thought I'd give it a try. Never has a book evoked such a diverse amount of emotions. So many of the little stories are that true to everyday life they seem almost unbelievable. I shall be keeping a very alert eye open for more of your excellent literature." (P. L. by E-mail)(Published in hardback)
