978 0 285 63335 3
Format HB/PB
£4.99
This beautiful and moving poem by an unknown author was left by a soldier killed in Northern Ireland to “all my loved ones”. It gained national renown when it was read by the soldier’s father on Remembrance Sunday some years later on the Bookworm TV programme.
This special edition, illustrated by Paul Saunders, is intended to be a lasting memorial for all who are mourning a loved one. Its message of comfort, hope and renewal has already brought consolation to hundreds of thousands and it is one of the great inspirational poems that those suffering bereavement turn to.
The author remains unknown, though several people have been forwarded as the author. These include Mary Fry and J.T.Wiggins, an Englishman who emigrated to the USA at the end of the nineteenth century.
“In its own unique way, grapples with the agony of grief and presents a simple message of comfort and reassurance.”

Wilfred Arlan Peterson
0285637207
Format HB
£4.99
“Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created…”
You may have already heard this as part of ‘The Art of Marriage’, one of the most popular readings at wedding services and anniversaries but now for the first time with beautiful illustrations the perfect gift for any couple.
The striking simplicity of the words and its beautiful evocation of love makes it a touchstone for every couple, at the start of their relationship or after a lifetime of love.
Wilferd Arlan Peterson was one of the best loved American writers of the twentieth century, a writer as renowned for his inspirational wisdom and aphoristic wit as Mark Twain (to whom he was often compared). Born in 1900 Wilferd Peterson became a published writer in his teens and by 1961 his regular essays in ‘This Week’ magazine had made him a national figure.
Chris Molan is a widely published illustrator, who has also illustrated the work of Michael Morpurgo.
