Set up by Lynda Franklin in 2004, Dorset-based Wunjo Press has published two previous books inspired by the philosophy that there are so many astonishing tales to tell and it would be sad indeed if our nation's stories died along with our heroes.Many have wartime experiences like Lynda's father 'Witt' Wittridge, the spitfire pilot and aviation pioneer who wrote An Evil Boy, published 2004.A modest man by nature, he found it hard to believe that his story would be of interest to a wider audience but Wunjo Press knew it would be and his book is a testament to him and people just like him, unsung heroes of our time.Lynda's first book Shoestring Warrior, was about a different battle - this time against famine, floods, green fields and grey suits.Against the backdrop of some of the most beautiful countryside in England, all the forces were stacked against two half-crazed owners trying to save a humble centuries-old dilapidated farmhouse in 30-odd acres of untouched countryside. What should have been a gentle tale of rural bliss, was transformed into a rollercoaster ride that almost turned into a fight to the death. A book that just had to be written and a cautionary tale for those wishing to retire to the rural idyll! First published by Wunjo Press in 2005.Each of the three titles published by Wunjo Press, although dealing with what could be considered sad and tragic content, all convey a sense of fun, a degree of irreverence and an infectious joy for life.
