Portbury Twinned With Apathy

An amusing and interesting look at our ancestors throughout history. Beginning in the Stone Age and taking you through to the end of the Second World War, this book - which is liberally illustrated with original cartoons by 'Bruce'- tells the story of a small Somerset Village using historical and anecdotal evidence. Read of the hunter gatherers setting up camp on a bleak deserted hillside and follow the history of the area as Romans, Anglo Saxons, Normans, Roundheads, Cavaliers, Monks, Lords, Knights and Bishops set up home there. Each chapter in history is prefaced with a short narrative to set the scene.
