"A book of profound insights, at once inspiring and practical. It shows an elegant way out of the consumerist lifestyle of the
modern world"
- Satish Kumar,
Editor, Resurgence Magazine

For many years, Marian has been a devotee of the simple life.
And now, in these days of rapid climate change, and looming ecological crisis, downshifting to a way of life that takes only our share of the world's resources and causes minimal pollution is something that all of us need to do if our planet is to become healthy again.

It is not always easy to do that.
But Marian's book,
'THE LILYPAD LIST: 7 steps to the simple life'
will show you how.

ISBN: 184409037X
paperback, 160 pages
Findhorn Press, 2004

A Cygnus Book Club member from London had this to say about 'The Lilypad List':

‘I urge everyone to buy and read this wonderful book and give it to a friend. I have read a wide range of spiritual, self-development and ecological books. This one simple but comprehensive book sums them all up. The author writes from a wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom. Her aim is not to make us feel guilty about our current lifestyle; rather, she helps us understand why we behave as we do and work out how we can change to benefit ourselves and the wider environment. The Lilypad List is inspiring and practical as well as warmly and amusingly written. It is the ideal handbook for anyone who wants to live a simpler, less stressful life in the 21st century.’

In 2006, she published a collection of short stories under the title 'Apricot Harvest'. . .

"From the dry outback of Australia to the green dampness of rural England, these stories will take you around the world and through years and centuries of time. They will take you, too, to the edge of mystery and into the deeper recesses of intimate relationship. Many might set you thinking. Some will make you smile."

. . . and in 2009, she published her first, full-length novel, 'The Bird Menders'.

"...a tender love story, a story of healing, the mending of broken wings and the wisdom of women in the second half of their lives."
