Review:

** 'Somehow or other I missed out on Derek Tangye and all his worksl and THE WORLD OF MINACK sat me down slack jawed with admiration and surprise... There are sad bits, which is right and proper for "a good read" but mostly it is a happy saga; you will hear the gulls, smell the salt spray, see the nodding daffodils and laugh and cry all the way through. You could not want more. Dirk Bogarde
