Since 1980 it has been producing books that record and continue the literary and cultural ideas and values of the country. The spirit of Cornwall is captured; there are Cornish titles in almost all Tabb House categories. Devon and Somerset communities and individuals are brought to life; Cheshire, Wales and Yorkshire figure in children’s stories. Additions to English literature include widely praised biography, novels, poetry and literary criticism.

   Fiction ranges from literary novels to historical romance, fantasy and satire. There is Children’s Fiction for young readers and also adventure, fantasy, myths and legend. Maritime, military, architectural and other History with some Factual titles, such as guides to places, are included, and a few books on Practical subjects: cheese and bread making, and a pocket book on horses.

Forthcoming books include two children's books: Craig Weatherhill's exciting, legendary fantasy THE TINNERS' WAY, the last in his Lyonesse Stone trilogy, and A FEW FRIENDS, animal verses by Penelope Tremayne. Also, the third volume of Olive Garnett's diaries and letters, edited by Barry Johnson. 

RECENT AWARDS: Keith Chatfield’s engaging children’s book BIRD MOUNTAIN was selected for The People’s Book Prize in June 2009.
