Bettie's Books

On to Susie and Judy in SC---This is a perfect read for me. Most of the 'deeds' outlined here are drawn from the Victorian era or before so, hopefully, there is no-one alive to become upset about opening up the foul play for perusal. There are a couple of WWII related sections and you get the feeling that it is still a people divided over just what happened under Nazi occupation. It is alluded to on more than a few occasions here that some of the islanders did not play fair and that there is still some paranoia surrounding the whole business.Loads of interesting Celtic history, bits about those enigmatic Beaker people and I must draw your attention to the fact that Victor Hugo penned Les Miserables at his lecturn in St Peter's Port. Did I mention it is crammed full of old photo's? Castle Cornet, St Peter Port, was built of grey granite for the defence of Guernsey after King John had lost Normandy to the French.Concentration camps on Alderney.
