Riding the Turkey

2007-01-30T15:51:00.002Z

Children everywhere will recognise themselves, their friends and their teachers in the characters in this new 'Westenders' series. In the first book we follow the adventures of the gang as they discover 'The Turkey'.
The gang build and hide a secret treasure which they hide in the Hollow Oak. This backfires on them when their dreaded enemies, the GG's, hand over the 'loaded' Jack in the Box to the Headmaster, with an explosive and highly colourful result.
A second 'smoke-screen' finds Karen and Daryl hiding in a most unusual place while the successful 'Riding' of the Turkey is in doubt until the last moment.

Further Tales from the Tin Tabernacle

Geoff,the captain, continues to lead his mixed band from 'Much Sloggin on the Willow' Cricket Club through a new season. Why this should start on 26th. December is a matter of honour, although this has little to do with Winston's manipulation of the result.
Piers Ffrenche-Epistle grows in stature, proving the graffiti on the Ladies' Loo wall to be inaccurate. He can also be found praying when an irresistable force meets an immovable object.
Two newcomers join the team. Dinger Bell from New Zealand, dentist and number three bat and Rabbit On Reggie, clothed by Ox-Fam, destined for Drama School and a fast bowler with an unusual style.
The final of the Hospital Memorial Knock Out Cup ends in a nail biting finish and the year draws to a close at the Dinner Dance as Tallulah and Carol reveal the secret of the 'Autographed Bat'.

Tales from the Tin Tabernacle

2007-01-30T15:50:00.001Z

During the course of this romp through the playing fields of England's villages, we encounter and share the problems presented to Geoff, the team captain.
Horatio, a thirteen and a half stone Irish Wolfhound contributes to a notable defeat.
Elvis, the fast bowler, combining the effects of the two main influences on his life, Fred Trueman and Emmanuelle, succumbs to a magic potion concocted by the elders and alters history.

Two reviews:

"It is written with distinct style and comic sense, graphic enough to cause audible mirth"
Wisden Cricket Monthly.
"George Andrew has written a series of amusing pieces, rather as if a modern day Chaucer had turned his attention to Cricket"
The Cricketer International.
