Derek Tangye Knihy

Together with his wife, Derek Tangye created a refuge at Minack, a cottage surrounded by 20 ruggedly beautiful acres on a Cornish cliff. This is the 17th book in his series about their experiences. It is both a celebration of the beauties of Cornwall and a tribute to his wife, who died in 1986. Since her death, the author has lived at Minack alone, welcoming visitors eager to see for themselves the haven described in The Minack Chronicles. It was Jeannie Tangye's wish to preserve Minack for future generations to enjoy, and in this book her husband describes his efforts to fulfill that wish, while struggling to cope with bereavement and loneliness.

An autobiography of a family living in Cornwall, UK, and how they were chosen by a storm-tossed, black kitten, Lama, as her family. This true story is filled with the aura of English people, not hurried, not frantic, very observant of nature, showing a true warmth and love for animals. The Cornish countryside is depicted as a desirable place in which to live. There is no cuteness about anyone in the book, no maudlin emotions; frank enjoyment lies herein. Captivating, yes, that's the word!

Fern von den Aufregungen der Städte leben der Erzähler und seine Frau Jeannie auf ihrer Farm an den wilden Klippen von Cornwall inmitten einer unberührten Natur. Untrennbar ist ihr Glück verbunden mit Wind und Wasser, Nachbarn und Freunden und vor allem mit ihren Katzen, deren geheimnisreichem Wesen und Verhalten, ihrem Sinn für Gefahren, ihrer Anhänglichkeit und ihren Antipathien der Bestseller-Autor Derek Tangye einfühlsam, liebenswert und humorvoll nachspürt.
