Hardback. Condition: Good. Although he was watching closely when the mummer was poisoned, it took Gil Cunningham several days and three more poisonings to work out how it was done.Danny Gibson and Nanty Bothwell, rivals for the affections of Agnes Renfrew, the apothecary's pretty daughter, are also good friends. When they both take part in the festive play at the house of Gil's sister Kate, it ends in Danny's death, apparently by poison from his friend's flask. So was it deliberate, and if not, why won't Nanty defend himself? Why is Agnes's eccentric brother Nicol so insistent that Nanty had the wrong flask, and why do none of the apothecaries in Glasgow recognize the poison it held?Gil, convinced Nanty is innocent, sets out to answer these questions and finds himself enmeshed in the tensions of the Renfrew household and the tangled relationships among the apothecary houses. And then a second and third death confuse matters further still, and bring Gil's wife Alys into the investigation.Praise for Pat McIntosh: 'McIntosh's characterisations and period detail are first rate.'

Hardback. Condition: Good. This is a reflective collection of inspirational short stories taken from the life of a boy growing to manhood. In his advancing years, he realizes that in the most challenging and difficult periods in his life, he found answers he needed to cope from the lessons taught in the woods. Healing and comfort comes from the most simple and basic elements placed before us every day. We just need to understand how to translate its meaning. The lessons of the forest, fields, mountains and streams provide simple answers to every circumstance we may face in life no matter how difficult they may be. The difficulty in understanding these messages is in the interpretation of the language. I am not clairvoyant to this process. I cannot hear voices from any of these elements but I can sense their purpose, meaning, goal and direction. It is a subtle and silent gesture of will that drives them forward. The interactions between them are on display for all mankind to see and to learn. It is through the following life's experiences that I hope to give you some insight into how the elements of the earth, of which we are made, give us direction, hope and meaning. Hopefully, as you turn the last page, you will understand better my supposition that: Everything you need to know about life you can learn in the woods.…
