February 2021Tâvutatèt
by Carole Trébor & Gabriele Bagnoli
Being a mummy on display in a museum is fun as long as there are children to smile at during the day... But things are getting boring for Tâvutatèt now because no one comes to see her anymore. An ancient Egyptian princess deserves to attract a little bit of attention now and again! Especially when her mother was the first female Pharaoh in history... Well, in actual fact, what Tâvutatèt really wants is not attention or new visitors. No, what she wants is to go off with Kepabet, her otter and best friend. If only she didn’t have to sleep in this old sarcophagus... But her mother has forbidden her from getting out of it. Humans should not find out that mummies can wake up! Yet one evening, her mother comes to get her as they have to escape. The look in her eyes shows her concern. She tells her daughter that the museum is closing and that the Mowlausses, members of a mysterious group with dubious intentions, are on their way. What can they want from them? They’ve never hurt a scorpion... doesn’t matter! This is the beginning of a long and hectic journey from Egypt to England where other beings as fantastical as Tâvutatèt are hidden and she absolutely must find them. Despite Tâvutatèt’s positive outlook and naiveté, they alone can protect her.

Travel writingDecember 2004Pilgrims Road
A Journey to Santiago De Compostela
by Bettina Selby
Since the Tenth Century pilgrims have travelled the ancient roads through France and Spain that lead to the fabled town of Santiago de Compostela, the legendary shrine of St James the apostle. Travelling in groups for safety they braved the marauding Moorish armies, raging torrents and fearsome mountain passes, trusting in the protection afforded them by the emblem of St. James, a scallop shell. A thousand years later, Bettina Selby tackled the pilgrim’s trail alone and on a bicycle, finding the scallop shell still a powerful talisman, opening doors and providing shelter. This is the story of her journey through countries whose twentieth-century veneer barely conceals a wealth of history, from the magnificent architecture of the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages to the tiny hamlets that seem untouched by the present day, and the awe-inspiring and dangerous beauty of the Pyrenees. Like her predecessors, Bettina Selby had to deal with the natural hazards of the terrain, thieves and wild dogs, but she also encountered a host of fascinating characters along the route. Above all she found a vibrant tradition that lures more and more people to become pilgrims on the road to the ‘Field of the Star’ A real adventurer - brave, good humoured, modest and patient. She is also compassionate. TLS

FictionFebruary 2018Eye of the Moon
by Ivan Obolensky
Built upon the fabric of the author’s background as a member of the 1%, yet woven from whole cloth, Eye of the Moon is an enchanting web of multigenerational intrigue, secret love affairs, sumptuous black- and white-tie dinner parties, potential murders, Egyptian occultism, vicious curses, unexpected magic, and secrets that break, or reshape, lives. It is peopled by characters like Russian dolls, with shocking elements revealed in layers over the five-day house party in Rhinebeck. Though the opening chapters are perhaps benign, readers and reviewers alike rave that they become ensnared in the story and can’t put the novel down, even if it means they burn their dinner or stay up to 4 am. Percy, the narrator, begins as someone raised on the fringes of the elite, quasi-abandoned by his traveling parents. He is abruptly reunited with his pseudo-brother and pulled into his hijinks. They stumble upon the dark story of Johnny's Aunt Alice, the legendary socialite who had died mysteriously twenty years earlier. Her letters and journals bring a more sinister world to the light and the two men dive headlong into the shadows. This inadvertently involves everyone at the estate, including the butler, Stanley, who was the only confidante of Alice with hidden knowledge of what happened behind closed doors before her death. She still lives in the places lit with magic, her narrative woven tightly with Percy’s. What will be the cost of revealing the truth? Where does Percy ultimately belong?
