Against the background of Vivien Leigh’s
life, loves and illness, this book explores her roles as an
actress, the nature of acting and her personal philosophies. In
a modern world it is becoming increasingly difficult to identify
what is real and what is illusion. Vivien Leigh’s story
challenges readers to explore all aspects of their lives and
relationships, discarding masks and stereotypes to discover a
personal truth.What is inspiration? Where does the artist’s
genius come from? And what does he have to sacrifice in order to
remain true to his vision and his destiny?
Dilys Gater is a medium and author who works in theatre and the
arts. Here she gives a fascinating new perspective on a stage
and screen icon – the woman behind the image, the hidden facets
of a complex and courageous personality.

working from the beautiful North Staffordshire Moorlands on the
edge of the Peak District, is the imprint that husband and wife
writing duo Paul and Dilys Gater use to expand their output of
interesting and thought-provoking books.
It was founded in 1989 by Dilys, then a
writer of some 25 years experience whose work included many
novels and non-fiction under her own name and the pseudonyms
Katrina Wright, Clover Sinclair, Lys Holland and Olwen Edwards.
Though her work has been published over the years by such
eminent names as Frederick Muller, Robert Hale, Samuel French,
Ulverscroft and Chivers Press (Large Print editions) - and most
recently, Capall Bann Publishing - she has always felt there are
fascinating, worthwhile books they want to write that 'fall
through the net'.
Read their titles below for an invigorating expansion of ideas,
a sense of well-being and renewed richness of living. Dilys
Gater is also the Arts Editor of two magazines.

Summer With Bax
Fresh Take on Reality
By Dilys Gater
Forward by Ellen Kent, Photographs by Mark Borg
The life
and work of the English composer Sir Arnold Bax comes under
scrutiny in this fascinating new book, which has been received
with genuine interest by the musical world.
Dilys Gater is the
author of over 90 books. She is also a medium, who made contact
with Bax in a series of trance 'conversations', the transcripts
of which form the basis of SUMMER WITH BAX. Research on the
composer's life and times carried out by her husband Paul,
provides a concise and informative biographical commentary.

Who can capture the nature of musical
inspiration, artistry or genius? Bax's thoughts on his work, on his
approach to music and life, his comments on living and on dying,
embody the same dynamic energy that infuses his art.
This is a unique journey through a summer of discussion and
discovery set against the landscape Bax knew and loved. A
joy-enhancing celebration of art and life.
