TABB HOUSE publishes fiction, poetry, biography, children's reading, and books on traditional life as well as on aspects of literature.

   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. Literature (‘writing whose values lies in the beauty of form or emotional effect’ O.E.D.) is included in several forms. Children’s Fiction covers adventure, fantasy, myths and legends. There is maritime, military, architectural and other History. Some other Factual titles are included, and a few books on Practical subjects: cheese and bread making, and a pocket book on horses.

If classic English books are the kind of reading you like, Tabb House is for you.
