BARCELONA ONE MORE TIME
– the story of an English language teacher and his Belgian partner plunged into the unchartered territory of 1970s, post-Franco Barcelona. The characters they meet and the experiences they encounter in the language school business are told with the very feel and colour of a place and time.

“I particularly enjoyed the light thrown on the Franco era and the imprint that it made on people.”
Alain de Botton, writer, philosopher & historian

“Read it and you'll meet some great characters and learn about an era and a generation that paved the way for the Spanish gold rush of the 80s. Definitely one for the shelf: to be taken down and read again often.”
Danny Collins, Round Town News

THE ENGLISH CHRONICLES
– the humorous fictionalized memoir of a language school principal on the south coast of England. It is a roller-coaster ride, in which the principal recounts his first-hand experiences, his descriptions of comic, sometimes tragi-comic, life and events around foreign students studying English in the fictitious town of ‘Bradgate’ and his charting of the rise and fall of the school.

“Engaging and unputdownable.”
Dr Peter Tame, author and academic

“I have never read anything quite like it before...It’s amusing and human.”
Nicholas Rankin, author and broadcaster

“The succession of vivid characters and their foibles is so   skilfully and entertainingly described here.  But there is also interest for the general reader in the functioning of English language schools, as well as the human peculiarities of students from different countries that pass through them.”
Dr Sam Merry, author, historian and teacher
