This story follows the coming of age of four boys living on the edge of marshland as they embark on a quest to find the remains of Amy Johnson, who crashed in the Thames Estuary after WWII. Their search leads to tragedy for one, leaving the three survivors mentally and spiritually scarred. The narrative also explores an adult relationship through the eyes of the younger generation, focusing on a grandfather and grandmother who have grown apart, much to their grandson's distress. The mystical atmosphere of the marshland and estuary deeply impacts Titch, the visiting narrator, as he navigates this unfamiliar landscape filled with strange characters and hidden dangers. Throughout a summer of bizarre occurrences, Titch faces emotional turmoil while confronting the wrath of nature. One stormy night, he and his grandparents find themselves in grave danger as a violent flood engulfs the marshes, destroying homes and lives. The relentless ocean, unleashed from its confines, wreaks havoc on the vulnerable country folk, dragging them from their beds and leading them to an irreversible fate.

The final installment of the Welkin Weasels trilogy sees Sylver and his weasel crew venturing across the seas to find the humans who abandoned Welkin. Meanwhile, the seasick Sheriff Falshed, ordered by the stoat rulers, is determined to stop them at all costs.

Quasi-SF post-apocalyptic novel of Britain after the rich have abandoned the world to the poor. This humorous fable charts the odyssey of down-and-out Guppy and his companions - the "abandonati" - who are looking for the rich people and their affluent lifestyles. It is a forceful reminder of the need for a greater humanity and sense of social responsibility towards the poor. Garry Kilworth is also author of "Cloudrock," "The Songbirds of Pain" and "Hunter's Moon."

Long ago, long before Sylver the weasel was born, the humans all left Welkin. Now life for a weasel - under the heavy paw of the vicious stoat rulers - is pretty miserable (unless you hap,pen to be a weasel who LIKES living in a hovel and toiling all hours for the benefit of the stoats).

Join Jordy, Alex, and Chloe as they cross the portal from our world to a strange and wonderful other place, accessible for just a moment in time through the trapdoor of the attic in their family home. From hat-stand forests to towering hills of old musical instruments, deserts of old books, and a great water-tank lake, the vast continent they stumble upon is one of limitless surprises - and that's before they meet the inhabitants: strange clans of small and lumpen people who live in homes constructed from all manner of found things and drive vehicles powered by old sewing-machine parts. It is against this remarkable backdrop that the three children will embark on a spellbinding adventure to recover a prized possession, save a life, and somehow find a way back home. A story of courage, loyalty, and friendship; of Browsers, Shadow-Tangles, and Tatterdermalions; of incredible landscapes, ingenious devices, and cunning plot twists; Attica has a richness and depth that will delight readers of all ages.
