If you are interested in the way we lived then, or now; places and people who live or work in them; and people, real or fictional – there’s ‘nowt so queer as folks’; if you would like to make your own bread and cheese; if you mind about such things as whether elms regenerate and wild daffodils survive; if you like books that make you laugh, factual reading - biography and history of many types - or fiction, then you will find publications to enjoy from Tabb House.
Since 1980 Tabb House has been publishing books that record and continue the traditions of the country. It captures the spirit of Cornwall in its large section of Cornish titles. Devon and Somerset communities and individuals are brought to life; Cheshire, Wales and Yorkshire figure in children’s stories. Additions to the garners* of English literature include memoirs, novels, poetry and literary criticism.
‘The best of four new novels’, said the Guardian, of Trevor Vaughan’s gripping Season of Lamplight. Other fiction has won national acclaim, as has biography, poetry, maritime, military and Christian history, and much more, while award or commendation has gone to Cornish titles. ‘Tabb House has rendered valuable service to Cornish literature,’ said A.L. Rowse, and another: ‘In a shop specializing in Cornish titles, to my pleasure I found more than fifty Tabb House titles; I was confirmed in my admiration of their quality.’
All Tabb House books are well written and well produced. ‘Elegant editions’ wrote Publishing News of the Encore Series of classics, and ‘beautifully written’ says Charles Thomas.
*‘before high-piled books in charactery hold like rich garners the full-ripened grain’ John Keats
