  In Time Was Mine , Derek Tangue recounts his journey around the world via America, the South Sea Islands, Australia, Japan, China, Russia and Germany - tasting romance on Tahiti and glimpsing pre-war Hollywood. Through the publication of that book, Derek met his wife Jeannie. And so the story of the Minack Chronicles , the series of books that have, for over 30 years, touched readers the world over. The first two are included here. A Gull on the Roof tells how they gave up glamorous London lives - Derek's with MI5 and Jeannie's as Public Relations Officer of the Savoy Hotel Group - for the tranquility of Minack, a Cornish clifftop cottage where they started a flower farm. A Cat in the Window is a tribute to Monty, the Tangye's famous marmalade cat. Derek Tangye is the author of Monty's Leap .
