Cat Lovers and children will love to read this delightful true-to-life story about a cat called Tigger Digger, who finds himself dumped on the Yorkshire Moors and left to fend for himself by Nan Knitwarm's 'noddle nephew' Newton. Tigger's quest for a forever home leads him along perilous paths. How he survives, after spending several of his 'nine lives, ' might have something to do with his own skill in avoiding disaster. Or maybe the other helpful people and creatures he meets on his journey are fortunate tools of what Tigger believes to be the 'Light of Heaven'. Although a book designed for children, it will also satisfy those eager 'cataholics' who, like the author herself, cannot help but fall in love with cats. Margaret Grant's delicious memories of the pets and creatures she has adored find a place in this moving novel. Notes for parents and teachers help discussion about each chapter as it unfolds and will be useful in teaching virtues.

After the death of her grandmother, young novice priestess and healer, Ceridwen, is faced with the daunting responsibility of ministering to her Celtic tribe, at a time when spiritual leadership is most needed. It is over two hundred years since Roman invaders attempted to annihilate the Druids on the shores of the Island of Mona (Anglesey in North Wales). Is now is the time for healing and forging a future from that hateful carnage? Is her attraction to a Roman surgeon, Marcus, a weakness, or her destiny? Dare she allow herself to be drawn into a relationship with him, now that she will be expected to mate at the sacred time of Beltane; and how can she steer her tribe away from its current chieftain, who usurps the nobility of Celtic leadership in exchange for a reign of intimidation and terror? Their lives entwine and unfold in the setting of Mynydd Llwydiarth - the sacred mountain on the island of Mona. Charged with passing the secrets and wisdom of her Druid training down the generations through the female line, she questions why she cannot conceive a girl child. The true magic she comes to learn, as her life unfolds, is more about love and loyalty than ritual, more about justice than tribe. Interpreted as an allegory of the era we live in, where there are clashes of both culture and ideals, we can empathise with the process; but, for both Ceridwen and Marcus it is an agonizing spiritual journey of self searching and response to their times. 'Where Rowans Intertwine' is a historical novel which will interest those who enjoy a mystical tale, a spiritual quest, and a dip into the past. It will fascinate those interested in things Celtic, Druid, Roman or Pagan, and create an awakening to healing and life purpose.
