The ancient story of Eve & Adam has never been so delightfully portrayed as by Edwina Sandys in this witty tale full of mischief and magic. Forty original illustrations, drawn with Edwina's incisive line and vibrant color, throw new light on this famous First Couple as they are projected from the Garden of Eden into Modern Times. There is an unusual twist as the author suggests what may be around the corner in the New Millennium. Eve & Adam initially draws you in by its sweetness and charm, then commands your attention with its bold imagery which deals lightly but pointedly with subjects such as: Original Sin, Carnal Knowledge, Population Explosion, Safe Sex, Money, Nuclear Deterrent, The One God, and Judgement Day. Accompanying the color plates are quotations from sources as varied as The Bible and Oscar Wilde, Edwina has also dipped into her own family's legacy and included some of the wit and wisdom of her celebrated grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill. The juxta-position of these words and images leave you with much food for thought, and a bounteous array of subjects to dine out on.

‘Churchill’s Little Redhead’ is the autobiography of much-travelled author and television presenter, Celia Sandys, Winston Churchill’s granddaughter. In 1959 she accompanied her grandparents on the ‘Christina’, Aristotle Onassis’s superyacht, for a grand tour of the Mediterranean with another guest, the legendary diva, Maria Callas. During the extraordinary journey, sixteen-year-old Celia witnessed the burgeoning romance between Onassis and Callas, a love affair which resulted in two divorces within a year. Celia was born in war-ravaged London in 1943, the daughter of Duncan Sandys, her grandfather’s Minister of Supply in his war cabinet, and Diana Churchill. Celia recalls in much detail post-war rationing and the make-do atmosphere that prevailed at the time. In her spirited book she describes the ups and downs of her three marriages, from which she bore three sons and a daughter. The sad death of her divorced mother is touched upon with tenderness, and the death of her favourite aunt, Sarah, who had spent several years deteriorating into alcoholism following the sudden death of her beloved husband is narrated with much understanding and obvious love. Once her children had flown the nest, Celia developed a new career as an author and wrote three books on her grandfather. One of which, ‘Chasing Churchill’, led her to present it as a television series, in which she travelled the world re-tracing her grandfather’s footsteps: from his military escapades in Cuba, the Boer War, his vital wartime meetings with President Roosevelt and countless other visits to his ‘other country’ the United States. A thoroughly modern and independent woman of spirit, Celia’s eventful life makes for a fascinating read.
