Artie & Nancy

Artie & Nancy has been inspired by the long-lost art of letter writing, a time frozen in the past that has given way to a new world of digital technology.
In love, especially when written in ink, the sentiment and meaning of words can mean so much more. The anticipation of the post arriving, the scent sprayed pages … words that stay with you for a lifetime. Artie & Nancy encourages us to awaken our imagination, the pages of the book conjuring different meanings if we take time to read between the lines.

Some say this is a book of stand-alone words, some may say it is a book of writing prompts, many say it is the beginning of a love story … the choice is yours.

Following the lives of Loveday & Will Nance (1916), and Kitty & Ben Gridley (present day), it weaves magic through a tale of hope, struggle, love & friendship. But what is the Secret of Creek Cottage …
