Summary
| Description |
English: The Minack Chronicles and Oliver Land Derek Tangye and his wife Jeannie moved to Dorminack a little after WW2 to run a flower farm. Over the next 40 years he and his wife wrote a number of books, of which Derek's became renowned as The Minack Chronicles,featuring over 20 books.They were about their life at Dorminack and reflect our need to be at one with nature, the early 'Good Life' before it became fashionable.
Oliver Land was so named after one of their cats Oliver and is a 17acre Nature Reserve, perched on the Cornish cliffs, for the preservation of the wildlife that live there. It is also a place for Solitude, time for you to reflect and contemplate, a place to think of anything other than what you should or ought to be doing! Jeannie believed that Dorminack was a place of natural spiritualality. She wrote a poem which starts 'The Spirits of Minack Welcome you, to their world of forever, where nothing grows old, where death is never.' In 2011 it will be the 50th Anniversary of Derek's first book 'A Gull on the Roof' and the society which exists to support the work of Derek and Jeannie is currently endeavouring to reprint the book in celebration.
