The things people say
Verity Redʼs diaries are a revelation! The mixture of humour and honesty in Mariaʼs writing touches my heart. Much more than just books; companions for lifeʼs ups and downs.
Nigel H.
Maria de la Mann’s artwork has a limitless imagination, a perfection of line and a strong graphic. Perfect for illustration.
Every one of Maria’s books is a treat. Witty and down-to-earth with a delicious dash of witchy whimsy, Verity’s creative resilience whilst living with M.E. is truly inspiring!
