One thought on “The Story of the Minack Chronicles”
Anything by Tangye about his life and times in Minack at Cornwall is worth reading, in a way reminiscent of James Herriot s All Creatures series He s not nearly as keen a writer, but the heart is firmly in place And oh, all the animals and the daffodils lovely.
As a country girl and self confessed Anglophile I enjoyed this book Had I ever met this man don t think I would have liked him as his stubborn ego shows through in his writing but at least in the end his wife turned him from a cat hater to a cat lover.
The blurb on the back made me hopeful this would be similar to James Herriot books Disappointingly the author was sexist and racist and I couldn t even finish reading part 1 I feel like I should give book 2 a try but this may be a write off.
