A year has passed since Cloverdaisy 1 when, during a recent holiday in Cornwall, haunting vibes and ghostly callings filter through to Kate and Clara and 'call' them 'home'. Lost souls from the Abbey, through Ida the Nun and the Lord Abbott, combine with links to King Edward I - the Abbey's founder - and the Arthurian legend at Glastonbury.Following a meeting at the Church manse with the Minister, Reverend Donald and Arthur the baker, this leads them to the summer solstice where a mind-blowing plan is hatched through the enchantments, taking them back to 1270 - the year the Abbey was built prior to being consecrated.Ghosts, sorcerers, teleporting, a subterranean lake, haunted houses and a Wizard - Mervyn - takes them beyond earth and to new 'depths' - literally.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Richer not Poorer: Death was the Start.If you enjoyed watching the Grantchester Mysteries, Father Brown, or the brilliant 'Endeavour' series and the Exorcist, you're in for a treat with this first ever Romantic Thriller by acclaimed children's author, David Yearsley.A fascinating blend of English and Eastern bloc with a mixed tale of intrigue, fantasy, murder, fraud, suicide, romance and the Devil. Set in 1980's Oxfordshire, Reverend Eric Padstock of Barthomley Parish Church is a 58 year old Church of England Vicar and brilliant preacher, polymath and family man. Tragically widowed following the vile rape and tragic death of his late wife Kate, he tracks down the perpetrator. His socialist leanings and professional life spiral out of secular and religious control leading to crisis upon catastrophe involving his children and 'others'.A trip to an abandoned, mysterious French Monastery during a holiday, draws him to an old Abbey where he has strong spiritual experiences before a finale of exorcisms in Rome. He eventually returns to England and a centuries old secret key, priceless paintings and graveyard apparitions before a haunting meeting with the 'dead' and a new wife.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. At one time a star in her own right as a singer, Anna Magdalena (1701-60) would go on to become, through her marriage to the older Johann Sebastian Bach, history's most famous musical wife and mother. The two musical notebooks belonging to her continue to live on, beloved by millions of pianists young and old. Yet the pedagogical utility of this music--long associated with the sound of children practicing and mothers listening--has encouraged a rosy and one-sided view of Anna Magdalena as a model of German feminine domesticity. Sex, Death, and Minuets offers the first in-depth study of these notebooks and their owner, reanimating Anna Magdalena as a multifaceted historical subject--at once pious and bawdy, spirited and tragic. In these pages, we follow Magdalena from young and flamboyant performer to bereft and impoverished widow--and visit along the way the coffee house, the raucous wedding feast, and the family home. David Yearsley explores the notebooks' more idiosyncratic entries--like its charming ditties on illicit love and searching ruminations on mortality--against the backdrop of the social practices and concerns that women shared in eighteenth-century Lutheran Germany, from status in marriage and widowhood, to fulfilling professional and domestic roles, money, fashion, intimacy and sex, and the ever-present sickness and death of children and spouses. What emerges is a humane portrait of a musician who embraced the sensuality of song and the uplift of the keyboard, a sometimes ribald wife and oft-bereaved mother who used her cherished musical notebooks for piety and play, humor and devotion--for living and for dying.…
