|author=Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn and Tom Pinfold
|title=Tudor Monastery Farm: Life in rural England 500 years ago
|rating=4
|genre=History
|summary=Think of it as time travel. Three professional historians have travelled back some five hundred years to put what they've learned into practice. On a monastery farm they've experienced what it was really like in rural Tudor England. It's a book to accompany the BBC television series but it's still a rich and rewarding experience if - like me - you missed the show. There's a wealth of experience between the three authors and they write about what they each know best and it's all supplemented by some sumptuous photographs of Bayleaf Farm in west Sussex and the surrounding farmland.

|title=Precious and the Mystery of the Missing Lion : A New Case for Precious Ramotswe
|author=Alexander McCall Smith
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=I had already previously enjoyed [[Precious and the Monkeys by Alexander McCall Smith|Precious and the Monkeys]] which is one of AMS' children's stories about his No.1 Ladies Detective Agency character, Precious Ramotswe, when she is a child. So I was looking forward to this one about a missing lion. I wasn't disappointed. Once again his gentle charm shines through, and this is a delightful book to read aloud or just enjoy by yourself, however old you may be!
