Cicely Saunders is universally acclaimed as a pioneer of modern hospice care. Trained initially in nursing and social work, she qualified in medicine in 1958 and subsequently dedicated the whole of her professional life to improving the care of the dying and bereaved people. Founding StChristopher's Hospice in London in 1967, she encouraged a radical new approach to end of life care combining attention to physical, social, emotional and spiritual problems, brilliantly captured in her concept of 'total pain'. Her ideas about clinical care, education and research have been hugelyinfluential, leading to numerous prizes and awards in recognition of her humanitarian achievements. In this book the sociologist and historian David Clark presents a selection of her vast correspondence, together with his own commentary. The letters of Cicely Saunders tell a remarkable story ofvision, determination and creativity. They should be read by anyone interested in how we die in the modern world.

On May 5, 2018, Cicely's grandmother, affectionately known to many as Big Ma passed away of natural cause. During the family’s bereavement time, she watched her little cousins and wondered how they were processing everything and how could she help them and other children to understand the situation and what positive could come out of it all. She then decided to pen this book 'A Letter from Grandma' which was born out of the love she had for her dear Big Ma. She hopes that you can read this book to a child or an older child can read it themselves to be comforted and encouraged during their time of loss or for those times that they may hear, smell, see or touch something that reminds them of that dear loved one.

A typed volume of letters from Lesmoir Wimberley to her parents, Major General Douglas and Mrs Wimberley, covering the period 1940 to 1945. During that period Lesmoir (initially aged 14) and her brother Neil (12) were evacuated from the UK to stay with Donald and Cicely Cameron, then living at Kelvin Grove, Conara, and later at Fordon, the Nile, Tasmania. They were both sent to school in Tasmania, Lesmoir going to Methodist Ladies College, Launceston, and her brother to Launceston Grammar School. Donald Cameron was then in charge of the Home Guard, and Cicely Cameron was attempting to run the property with reduced man power. Douglas Wimberley was leading the Highland Division, then under Montgomery, mainly in North Africa. The letters describe wartime life on the property and at Methodist Ladies College, and provide an evacuee's impression of her new life. Also included are letters from Cicely Cameron to Mrs Wimberley, and letters from Donald Cameron to Douglas Wimberley (who were old friends having met as fellow soldiers in the 1st World War), up to 1946 and 1950. The volume has been compiled and transcribed by Lesmoir's daughter, Scottish crime novelist Gillian Galbraith.
