If you can't get to a beading class or workshop close to home or work, this skill-building book is the next best thing. For the beginner and the improver, it's a passport to successful learning.

Features include: hundreds of detailed how-to photographs, carefully annotated so it is easy for you to see what you should be looking at; guest designers sharing some of their favourite patterns; 'quick-start' projects for beginners who are impatient to try out their skills on designs that don't need much in the way of materials or time and really useful lists sprinkled throughout the pages for readers who want to quickly understand the essentials.

Plus, beaders' clinics, where 'Doctor' Jean solves her students' beading dilemmas.

The book will be featured in the weekly magazine, at Woman's Weekly shows, in special Woman's Weekly craft issues, at their workshops and events and on www.womansweekly.com.

'Evocative, authentic and brilliantly told - a wonderful read.' David Lammy

Foreword by West Indies Cricketer Sir Clive Lloyd

Voices of the Windrush Generation is a powerful collection of stories from the men, women and children of the Windrush generation - West Indians who emigrated to Britain between 1948 and 1971 in response to labour shortages, and in search of a better life.

Edited by journalist and bestselling author David Matthews, this book paints a vivid portrait of what it meant for those who left the Caribbean for Britain during the early days of mass migration.

Through his own, and many other stories, Matthews explores: why and how so many people came to Britain after World War II, their hopes and dreams, the communities they formed and the difficulties they faced being separated from family and friends while integrating into an often hostile society. We hear how lives were transformed, and what became of the generations that followed, taking the reader right up to the present day, and the impact of the current Windrush deportation scandal upon everyday people.

At once a nostalgic treasure trove of human interest, which unearths the real stories behind the headlines, and a celebration of black British culture, Voices of the Windrush Generation is an absorbing and important book that gives a platform to voices that need to be heard.
