Bibliography for Derek Tangye

Derek Tangye, and his wife Jeannie, lived with the cats, donkeys and the passing gulls in Cornwall. Derek wrote a series of gentle tales of their lives, and the goings on of the menagerie around them, often known as "The Minack Chronicles". In addition he wrote a selection of historical studies, such as his "One King" title, which is "A survey of the dominions and colonies of the British Empire". But it is his Cornish tales for which he is best known, and much loved...
