Crits & Comments
"I'd like to say how much I enjoyed Silk & Sons. I went back first and re-read the second half of Salt & Silk to get me up to speed with the earlier generations and the personalities around them. I feel I know them all personally now as you bring them to life with such apparent ease.

Crits & Comments
"I have found the book totally fascinating and the hard work and detail and research you have put in has been amazing…I enjoyed some of the accounts of the care and treatment and events that took place in the early 1900s! It has really put some greater understanding in my mind to the historical background. Many thanks for a wonderful read"

"My Bank Holiday reading was a fascinating book about the 500-year-history of Lyss Place in Hampshire, owned until recently by Tony Williams, very much the consultant-about-the-City through his firm Jomati. The detailed research for the book, written by Pam Buttrey, a local historian. Let’s hope other leading lawyers will follow his example."
Edward Fennell, The Times May 28, 2009

Crits & Comments
"You really cheered me up with your book. …I chuckled my way through your tale. Your character sketches were brilliant . …. Frau Guntesblum had me in stitches along with Uncle Henry. That one was a cameo from the past, it certainly reflected an era that has disappeared. It was great fun to read."
Sheila Dawes, Suffolk
"It’s charming. You do have a way with words!"
Rosemary MacHardy, California
