Download or read book Pon My Puff written by Peter Stark Lansley and published by Beachy Books Partner Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiographical novel is not only the true story of a child's upbringing by his grandparents in the 1920s, but is also a story of the villagers of Wootton on the Isle of Wight. Through Charles Lansley's meticulous research related to the manuscript written by his late father Peter Lansley, most of the characters have been identified along with their places of residence, memorials and other places of interest. We learn about the local milkman, the butcher, the shoemaker and other trades persons who made up the community, including Peter's nursery teacher at Hillgrove House. But also, through his grandfather's love, we gain a child's understanding of God, the afterlife and the cemetery at Mount Joy, Carisbrooke. We join Peter at Christmas time for stir up Sunday, sips of Guinness and many amusing misunderstandings as well as various misadventures with his girlfriend Victoria in the grounds of Fernhill House and at Wootton Creek. There are also visits to Ashey races and muses on the Dairyman's Daughter at Arreton and on Tennyson's Maud at Wootton. Through the stories and anecdotes we gain a greater understanding of what family and village life was like in the 1920s when the steam train ran supreme, when there was no electricity or telephone, where the house was lit by an oil lamp and candles, where the 'range' was used for cooking and when it was safe for a five year old to walk into the village alone. This book is a delight to read both as a story and as a description of life on the Island. It should appeal to both those who want a good read and those who want to find out a bit more about the local and social history of the Isle of Wight.

Download or read book The Continuity Girl written by Patrick Kincaid and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Continuity Girl is centred on the supposed discovery of an uncut print of Billy Wilder’s celebrated film, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970). It begins in the run up to 2014’s Scottish independence referendum, when Gemma MacDonald, a London-based Film Studies lecturer of Scottish heritage, is tasked with presenting the new print at a festival screening in Inverness. She seeks out April Korzeniowski, the movie’s Californian continuity supervisor (NB—in reality, this role fell to Elaine Schreyeck, whose remarkable career deserves another and quite different book). We then switch to 1969 and learn of the affair that develops between April and a young English scientist, Jim Outhwaite. Jim is a member of the Loch Ness Research Group, and thus a dedicated seeker of evidence for the Loch Ness monster. But in life, as in a Billy Wilder movie, nothing goes to plan and nobody is quite who they seem. While men are landing on the moon and the 1960s approaches its bitter, gloriously sound-tracked end, fault lines begin to appear between the director and his stars, between Jim and his colleagues (and their wives), and between lovers brought together by extreme circumstances. It’s a long wait for golden time to alight on Urquhart Castle, and when it does, the moment must be snatched before it’s gone...

Download or read book Over the Bridge to Gunville written by Gunville Community Association and published by Beachy Community Books. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A community book about Gunville, Isle of Wight (UK), told through the memories of locals. Extract from Introduction: Welcome to Gunville! History has left people with sharply defined views of our home. Although it boasted three chapels and no public house, it was once viewed as a lawless place where you took care not to tarry, or were escorted through. Inhabitants of past generations found their employment within the village, working and socialising with their neighbours; provisions were conveyed to them by specialised transport; there was innovation and entrepreneurship, and export of goods to lands far from the Island. Modern families live busy but more insular lives, commuting to schools and work, or operating small businesses from home. Learn what our neighbours remember of the life of Gunville. This book was created by members of Gunville Community Association on a Beachy Books Community Book Publishing Project, curated, delivered and published by Philip Bell, author and publisher at Beachy Books.
