When Derek and Jean Tangye relocated from the bustle of the West End of London to the clifftop solitude of Minack in Cornwall, they began an idyllic lifestyle entwining romance, rural enterprise, much-loved pets and a variety of other creatures. Derek's evocative retelling of the story, enlivened by Jeannie's illustrations, led to the 'Chronicles', a unique, thirty-five year sequence of narratives followed eagerly by readers throughout the world. Unsurprisingly, the Tangye's Minack became, and remains, a popular focus of pilgrimage to this day. COMPLETE SETS ARE SELDOM OFFERED FOR SALE.
