This is a two-volume ebook edition of Doreen and Ken Tonks’ amusing, down-to-earth books about their life in southern Spain. Please see individual titles for reviews.
SETTLING IN SPAIN:
Doreen B. Tonks, thoroughly steeped in the rich tradition of books on the subject of living in Spain, decided to add her own contribution to this ever-growing body of first-rate literature, and here it is.
Determined to emulate her peers by telling nothing but the truth, her able pen guides us adeptly through the trials, tribulations and occasional joys of a roving expatriate in her new land.
Doreen, aided and thwarted in equal measure by her obdurate husband Ken, steps out of her semi and her part-time job at the bakery into the adventure of a lifetime and while in the process of recording each and every new experience discovers her hitherto unknown flair for writing.
The publication of ‘Settling in Spain’ heralds a new star in the firmament of great Anglo-Iberian travel writers and, furthermore, is a snip at the price.
The ever-magnanimous and sympathetic Doreen has asked the publisher to allow Ken to have the final word, here at least:
“This book will be available until we get our first nosey parker snooping round the place, and not a day longer.”
Ken E. Tonks,

PROSPERING IN SPAIN:
Ken E. Tonks, husband of the celebrated travel writer Doreen B. Tonks, has finally put pen to paper to give his version of their first months in Spain, before recording the exciting events of the following spring and summer.
Ken, usually a man of few words, bares his soul in this eventful narrative set on and around the Costa del Sol. His budding friendship with Fede the artist proves to be his passport into a life far removed from the insular expat community, and the singular adventure which follows prompts him to wield a biro in earnest for the first time since failing most of his O Levels fifty years ago.
Please ‘look inside’ before purchasing.
