In 1973, a child was born. Okinawa, Japan was his birthplace. However, his mother didnt want him born. She wanted him to be born stillborn. She claimed she didnt want him to be born overseas. And, she almost got her wish, as that child had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck in the womb. The American military doctor recognized this fact when his mother pushed to get him out of her. With every push, his vital signs weakened. Two weeks prior that doctor had another child that died because the cord was around its neck as well. The doctor knew what to do this time. And, that was why Seranaphsus came to earth and was born Rene Thomas Colby on January twenty eighth in nineteen hundred seventy-three. And, it was in 1973 that eventually an angel was born strong enough to understand himself for what he was. That was the year that an infl uential angelic Elder was born to Aeal or earth for her protection and that of the fallen angels, as humans walking around on her surface.

Bourbons. Custard Creams. Rich Tea. Jammie Dodgers. Chocolate Digestives. Shortbread. Ginger snaps. Which is your favourite? British people eat more biscuits than any other nation; they are as embedded in our culture as fish and chips or the Sunday roast. We follow the humble biscuit's transformation from durable staple for sailors, explorers and colonists to sweet luxury for the middling classes to comfort food for an entire nation. Like an assorted tin of biscuits, this charming and beautifully illustrated book has something to offer for everyone, combining recipes for hardtack and macaroons, Shrewsbury biscuits and Garibaldis, with entertaining and eye-opening vignettes of social history.
