Elizabeth Knox is the recipient of a multitude of literary honours in her native New Zealand, with the kind of popular following that befits the luminous quality of her writing.
That international success has thus far been denied her is something of a scandal, but with her latest work the tide could be about to turn. The Absolute Book has the feel of an instant classic, a work to rank alongside other modern masterpieces of fantasy such as Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series or Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

A FAMILY S lockdown project to create a children s book is helping the NHS. Artistic sisters Phoebe and Ezmee Mason have illustrated the book, written by their mum Gemma, which tells the tale of a school bus named Benny and his hopes to be back on the Pembrokeshire roads with his four-wheeled friends after the pandemic. The transport theme is very appropriate as Gemma and her husband Darren, who live in Princes Gate, run Narberth Travel, which provides bus, coach and limousine services. Phoebe, aged 10 and eight-year-old Ezmee - both pupils at Narberth CP School - have worked hard to draw the appealing characters in the book, which is written in both English and Welsh.
