George & Sam

When her husband died, it was clear to Verity that she would have to sell Knighton, the beautiful old house where her daughter, Hester, had grown up and where her mother before her had come as a young bride. But the move proved to be a beginning rather than an ending: it revealed a host of secrets which the three women had been harbouring. Successful, single and independent, Hester was determined to put to rest the legacies that she had inherited.

'Exquisitely observed, extraordinary, wonderful. Moore has done the world a great service by opening up her life, her family, her home' Simon Baron-Cohen, Sunday Telegraph On first publicationGeorge and Sam was immediately acclaimed as a classic account of the lives of two autistic brothers. Their mother Charlotte Moore described how they would only eat certain foods, had no sense of danger, listened obsessively to key sounds and repeatedly watched the same cartoons. They would never be like other children. Refusing to pity herself or her sons, she brilliantly conveyed their family life, above all showing what mysterious, impossible and enchanting boys George and Sam really are. This new edition brings the story up to date by outlining the boys' experiences of adolescence and the challenges they and their mother face for their future as adults. Also included for the first time are Charlotte's original Mind The Gap columns, originally published in the Guardian, which add to this extraordinary portrait of autism as experienced in one family. 'A valuable contribution to families affected by autism' British Medical Journal 'Powerful and deeply affecting' Mail on Sunday

"Reading a poem gives us a glimpse of past and future possibilities, other worlds and other lives. It makes a gift of unfamiliar words, and refreshes parts of the mind that other art forms cannot reach..." Charlotte Moore, a writer and former English teacher, has loved poetry all her life. Keen to be able to read and talk about poems with others, she set up a weekly poetry club for anyone interested to join her round her fireplace. This book brings together a selection of the Tuesday Afternoon Poetry Club's favourite poems, some well-known, some less so. The poems are grouped into themes - from home and lovers, to war and the planets - each framed with a little context from Charlotte and delightful insights from members of the group. The Magic Hour offers a source of lifelong pleasure and nourishment, with words to delight and console, while reminding us of moments of personal significance. It demonstrates how we can all benefit from the refreshment of poetry in our daily lives.
