FAIRY TALES OF THE FAR TREE (TILLY'S MISSION) (Kindle Edition)  by Debra Danu Matthews - local author and illustrator

Enter the magical world of the Far Tree and meet the extraordinary fairies that live there.

See their tiny houses built on stilts among the leaves. Go deep into the hollowed out tree to the grand hall and follow the many tunnels that take you to various workshops as they go about their everyday lives.

In this book we meet Tilly, a ditzy, accident-prone fairy as she goes on her first mission as a tooth fairy.

Everything that can go wrong goes wrong and she needs to make things right for both a young girl and the fairies of the Far Tree.

With the help of her friend Chooo, a cloud hopping Blumpalong, and a young girl called Chloe, can she complete her first mission and avoid returning back to fairy school yet again?

The new festive winter-warmer from the local best-selling author Carole Matthews

Carole Matthews is the author of 21 novels, many of them set in and around Milton Keynes. Her latest With Love at Christmas is based in Stony Stratford, somewhere that Carole is particularly fond of. The book features the same family as an earlier novel, That Loving Feeling, which was also set in the town.

Her novels dazzle and delight readers all over the world hitting both The Sunday Times and The USA Today bestseller lists. She's published in over 30 countries and has sold 3.5 million books worldwide. For all the latest news from Carole visit www.carolematthews.com, follow Carole on Twitter @carolematthews or join the thousands of readers who have become Carole's friend on Facebook.

Can the imperfect family have a perfect Christmas?

Juliet Joyce adores Christmas - the presents, the tree, the turkey, the tinsel, everything. Already the festive spirit is upon her, which is just as well as this Christmas things are starting to get out of hand.

Her son Tom is out of work and bringing home a slew of unsuitable partners; pregnant daughter Chloe and her little boy have moved back in; Juliet's father, Frank, is getting over a heartbreak of his own while Rita, her eccentric mother, is behaving more erratically each day. Has the chaos got too much for Juliet's husband Rick?

With the big day fast approaching, Juliet hopes that she can stop everything spiralling out of control, because the only thing she wants is her family all around her and her home to be filled with love at Christmas...

Praise for Carole Matthews:

'Just the thing to make you feel good on a winter's afternoon' Take A Break

'A heart-warming read' Woman's Way

Musicians’ Union launches Live Music Kit as Live Music Act implemented
The Musicians’ Union has released a handbook giving advice on how the Live Music Act, which came into effect this month, will affect venues and performers when hosting live music events for audiences of fewer than 200 people. It’s hoped the changes will help energise and promote grass roots music; vital for the long-term health of the UK music industry. The Live Music Kit explains why ‘many small venues’ can now host live music without holding a music licence - but you will still need to comply with the rules.

Gregory Alan IsakovWednesday 24 October, 8.45pm Stage 2
Tickets £10 in advance, £12 on the door

Gregory Alan Isakov is really quite something. Although he’s only toured once before in the UK he has a dedicated fan base which existed before he even arrived. He plays as a duo and there is a possibility that he might come as a trio with his double bass. BBC radio’s Loose Ends wants him to play as he did last year and he’s been promised a Bob Harris show. If you look at some of his YouTube songs you get a picture of his popularity on the net. He is without doubt world class!

“…Recalls Josh Ritter at his most buoyant… Akin to a hazy night spent on the hillside without a care in the world. Beautiful.” BBC Radio 2
