As Richard Lewis wrote the "Artistic Thanet" books about famous artists connected with Thanet it would seem there are likely to be parallels between Broadstairs and Bradgate.
In the town of Bradgate on the Kent coast a business-minded earl, Lord Willingham, buys a language school and appoints a new principal, Robert Llewellyn, to run it. Robert’s inside story of his time as this principal is told in these chronicles. They chart the rise and ultimately fall of Darwin College of English and Further Studies, with minutely evoked scenes in between of life and events at the school which are often as comic as they are tragic. As an insight into the making of a language school, and also the making of a principal, 'The English Chronicles' holds a peculiar fascination.
'The English Chronicles' is a sequel to 'Barcelona One More Time', the story of a language teacher in post-Franco Barcelona.
We don't stock new fiction books as they sell at prices in the £10 ballpark and it will be a while before secondhand ones surface so you may want to buy it on Amozon which seems to be the cheapest at the moment, here is the link.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
