As many of you know, it is Rodney who has a regular blog (he puts up a new one most Fridays) to ensure that you are all kept up to date with our news: the link to this blog is www.rodney-willett.blogspot.com.
Transworld decided that The Christmas Angel should be published just before Christmas (for obvious reasons) so that meant that the usual round of signings took place when the days were quite short in stark contrast to the long days of summer when these events used to happen.
This year the new book, The Sea Garden, was published with the paperback of The Christmas Angel (which is also now published in the US in hard back but under the title of Christmas in Cornwall). Please don’t buy this under the impression that it is a new book. The Sea Garden is set both on the banks of the River Tamar which forms the boundary between the counties of Devon and Cornwall and in the old market Town of Tavistock.

This is not a good time for the small book shops and I would ask all my readers to do what they can to support them as much as they can. At the same time I understand that this is not always possible. I am often asked in which order the books should be read. The list to the left is in the order in which they were written and I think it is the best order in which to read them. For further details of each book, please click on the title.
The title of the book refers to a garden built on the edge of the river where the
salt marshes meet the land.
This is a magical place where one is constantly aware of subtle differences in the
quality of the light and the ever changing state of the tide. We have visited it
on numerous occasions and each visit was a bit of an adventure because the river
is always so very different.
We shall be returning to Bodmin Moor and the fictional village of Peneglos for the
next book: more details later.
