about me

Good news everyone - we have been given an e-book publishing contract for Shakespeare's Cuthbert by ma2books.webplus.net - it can be bought and downloaded from this site. I (Paula) am still covering for Patrick due to his ill-health. Patrick has written a series of books involving the main character Cuthbert, and his fellow valley dwellers. The style is “satirical humour” and we hope you enjoy reading the portion on here - thank you.

favourite books

Anything gripping, Bernard Cornwell, Robyn Young, Wilbur Smith, Terry Pratchett, Conn Iggulden and anyone else with a story to tell.

Shakespeare's Cuthbert

Patrick Barrett

An unknown play by Shakespeare found in the valley? Will the strangers find it or can the even stranger inhabitants prevent it from being found?


Have you read Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet? Have you read Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream? Have you read Macbeth? Have you read Shakespeare's Cuthbert?!! What if there was an unknown play by William Shakespeare and the secret was known only to the 'real valley folk' and they weren't letting on?!! What if there was a way to infiltrate the valley and join the ranks of these theatre-obsessed folks? What if that chance came your way, would you take it? Would you risk all in an almost alien environment like the valley? An influx of strangers think the play is only too real and they are determined to find it. Can the real valley folk keep the secret? Is there even a secret?

In this tale full of satirical humour, word plays and highly questionable characters, Cuthbert, adrift amongst his fellow eccentrics adds even more confusion without actually being fully aware of the consequences and the impact on the valley.

It is the first in the series involving Cuthbert and the valley folk. This book is finished and every book is a different adventure revolving around evolving characters.

 

CUTHBERT: HOW MEAN IS MY VALL....

PATRICK BARRETT

Mandrake Hall has been flattened for re-development. No-one knows what is in store. What is the last thing the theatre obsessed Valley needs?


I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SWAP READ - QUICK TURN-AROUND OR WILL GLADLY READ ANYONE'S BOOK WHOSE OWNER CHOOSES TO READ OURS FIRST. PATRICK IS STILL ILL, SO I (PAULA) HAVE TAKEN OVER FOR A WHILE.

Shakespeare's Cuthbert was the first book in the series, How Mean is My Valley? is the second. All the characters you have already met have formed unlikely alliances to combat the new threat... Who on earth is Aunt Liza?

The novel is complete and is part of several books in the Cuthbert series. The cover was designed by BRADLEY WIND.

Very different to anything I have seen for some time. You make us continue reading by evoking our curiosity and it is a very successful startegy, well done. Paula Barrett (Cuthbert-how mean is my valley) view book

The pitch is quite complicated but it is hard to say what the answer is when the tale is so complex as this. There is an epic feel to this book and you intersperse it with some fine phrases, one of my favourites is "What part of your brain did you not pack for the move young lady?"

This is very well done Pamela, the way you crank up the tension with Zsa-Zsa's options and fears is perfect. The inside knowledge of possible airline 'perks' holds a lot of potential for later and involvement in African states will give the plot a very wide range. With your descriptions of action an... view book
