This book, originally published in 1961, is about Derek and Jeanne Tengye, who moved from a hectic London life to living in a small cottage in Cornwall named Minack. The book is filled with experiences of their new country lifestyle: an attempt at starting an unsuccessful potato farm to the success of creating a flower farm; getting a well dug on the property; and learning to fish, among others.

But what is most endearing about the book are the stories of the many animals the Tengyes "collect" - Monty the ginger cat and Hubert, the "gull on the roof" that the book is named after. This book will especially please lovers of nature, country living, and animals. I enjoyed this book so much that I have already ordered three other Minack books from the UK which are currently out of print.

This is the first in book a series of 18 which comprise the "Minack Chronicles" written by Tengke (and I plan to find them all!). Please note that this book is back in print (paperback) by Warner Press as part of a trilogy called "The Story of the Minack Chronicles."

Being an owner of this book I know it's worth reading. Claudia, a hardworking girl, is to work for Ellis because it seems his secretary caught the flu. He needs someone to type an important document and Claudia is the chosen one. Claudia's a little weary at first, but once Ellis locks her in his room she knows Ellis is up to no good. They continue to encounter one another throughout the book. This is definitely one of mine favorite books ever. Excellent job Charlotte Lamb.

if you want a real romance writer with a lot of humor, look out for roberta leigh's stuff. shes so funny and knows how to wrench your guts as you watch her heroines suffer in petrarchan love (or guys wanting them but not "loving" them). its always a happy ending, but her twists in the end are incredible.

I found this book in my mother's closet like 4 years ago. Since I had nothing else to read I read it. It was really good.Spicy and Sexy. I like what the characters in this book do. What I mean is that sometimes you read books and it's like why did you say that stupid? Or they should have done this. It was good the characters were good. You should read it!

Again Susan Fox writes a winner.

Monsieur Henri Leclercq, Director of Le Guide has suggested that Monsieur and Madame Pamplemousse, accompanied by Pommes Frites, might well enjoy a vacation on the Cote d'Azure in Southern France. Of course while there, he is also quite sure that Pamplemousse would not mind picking up an object d'art, that Madame Leclercq's Uncle Caputo is having delivered by a contact at a performance by female pupils of a Russian school, in a production of West Side Story, and testing some new technology that Le Guide has acquired. Unfortunately, the contact never contacts the good Monsieur Pamplemousse, Trigaux, develops a number of derrieres and one doudoune in the photographic department at Le Guide, Pommes Frites protects his master from the new technology, and Pamplemousse finds himself in a coffin, courtesy of the Russian Mafya.
