The
Spare Child and Other Rather Nasty Stories . . .
(2nd edition)
With their shocking twists, the nine stories in this expanded edition are reminiscent of TV’s Tales of the Unexpected.
In the grisly tale of The Mincer, and in other stories, events don’t turn out as planned.
The enterprising Spare Child dares to defy the cruel laws of a future age of baby cloning. In Take Fright Alison finds herself being chased breathlessly through Surrey woodland after taking her dog for a walk at a fairground. And in The Time of Her Life, bored housewife Rita dreams of a happy new life, as does little Susie in A Sting in the Tale.
But their dreams inexorably become nightmares . . .

While
Others Sleep
(2nd edition)
27 poems – some nostalgic, tragic or reflective; others whimsical and light-hearted. The poet mourns for the death of loved ones, and revels in the splendour of Nature at her then Dartmoor home.
This new expanded edition includes the first ever publication of two moving poems about loss: The Weights of Grief, and Die Liebeslampe, which was written by Barbara in German. Then there are two translations from the German of poems by Goethe and Heine.
With hand-coloured drawings by the author.
