Books with author Mason

This interesting and well-illustrated study focuses on one particular element of the Roman navy, the Classis Britannica. Mason draws on recent excavations of Saxon shore forts, the remains of the few warships that have been found, and the distribution of Classis Britannica tile stamps in England and along the coast of mainland Europe, to identify the organization of the British fleet, the location of its ports and harbors, the type of ships used, and the sea paths taken.

Mr Nutta, inherited owner of a mediocre peanut butter company, The NutBut Corporation, has an innovative solution for world domination that is quite frankly so devious, so terrible… so downright despicable one wonders how he sleeps at night. A huge satellite dish recently installed on the factory roof is a real eyesore and brings with it hordes of complaining protesters, part of his plan or simply a TV upgrade? AND speaking of eyesores, which practical joker is collecting eyeballs? Yes you read correctly! Mysterious monstrous blobby type blobs are terrorising the county sucking eyeballs right from people’s faces… now what’s that all about? Bursting off the page with mischief, chaos, quirky bodily mishaps and mind control techniques that can only be fantasised by marketing directors far and wide, this action packed read has it all! AND yes, even the lovable zombie gets a mention but you won't find any gormless grouches predictably shuffling around in search of brains or anger management courses here, oh no!

A special and unusual relationship began when Cherie Mason helped an injured fox that came into her yard one winter morning. Crippled by a steel-jawed trap, the young fox had every reason to mistrust all humans, yet he was won over by Cherie's persistent gentleness (and tidbits from her kitchen). Suffused with a gentle sense of wonder, Wild Fox speaks with great resonance to a deep and very human impulse: the longing to span the gulf between the species.
