Bilberry Pie, and other tasty tales by Egton Bridge Writer' Group
A collection of short stories, poems and prose written by the members of the Egton Bridge Writers’ Group, who meet monthly in this attractive village which nestles by the river Esk, in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors. A wonderful mix of fact, fiction and fantasy. ‘Why Bilberry Pie? Because, as the compilers remind us, the best bilberry pie has a juicy, tangy filling with a crisp but succulent crust, ah, I can almost taste it now! And this delicious compendium of recollections, poems, pictures and stories more than lives up to its name. I congratulate the Egton Bridge Writers’ Group.’ Ian Carmichael ‘A multi-faceted portrait of our beautiful corner of England , with some lively reflections on the wider world, as viewed through North Yorkshire eyes. Altogether a lovely evocation of rural life.’ Kate Fenton
In 2007 this delightful mix of poetry and prose was entered in a national literary competition run by David St John Thomas (previous joint owner of David and Charles publishing house) in conjunction with The Writer's News and Writing Magazine - the UK's leading magazines for writers. The original six members of Egton Bridge Writers' Group who all contributed work for this book were thrilled when Bilberry Pie was voted the best Anthology of the year. The group has continued to thrive and now has increased membership to twelve which is an ideal number for a small rural group. Their second anthology 'Second Helping' is being published by Fryup Press and will be released later this year.
