Get in touchFollowing his acclaimed history of "The Derby Stakes", Michael Church's "The Gambling Adventures of Father Green" comprises 18 fictional short stories about the life of a parish priest in the East End of London. Father Green's consuming interest outside his vocation is gambling - any form of gambling - horseracing, greyhounds, roulette, card games, even a lottery to enable the pupils of St Joseph's to go to Lourdes. It was his keen interest in betting which caused the Rector at his seminary to suggest that he should take a year off to reconsider his vocation - if indeed he had one? As it turned out, he did and you can follow his journey via Aintree, Ascot, Cheltenham, Epsom and Wimbledon dogs. There is even a cruise ship romance to contend with, plus some dodgy fund raising methods for his new parish. Nevertheless, it's safe to say that Father Green is the punter's priest.

Orders containing in-stock products, received before 12 noon Monday to Friday, will be processed and dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 12 noon Monday to Friday will be dispatched the next working day. All orders are fulfilled by Royal Mail.
Orders that contain pre-order products will be shipped separately at no extra cost to UK-based customers. In-stock products will be shipped in line with our delivery terms above.
Pre-order products will be shipped on their individual release date, which is shown on the product page and directly underneath the ‘Pre-order’ button prior to purchase.
You may receive shipping notifications for orders that contain pre-order products, but these notifications only apply to the in-stock items in your order.
If you live outside the UK and wish to purchase both pre-order products and items that are currently in stock, please place these on separate orders. Due to international shipping regulations, we are unable to split a single order for shipment to customers outside the UK.
If multiple products in one international order have different release dates, the entire order will only be shipped once all products are available. This ensures that all items are sent together in a single shipment.

The customer is also responsible for any additional customs duties, taxes, or handling fees that may apply once the goods arrive in the US. These charges are beyond our control and must be paid directly to US customs authorities.
Please allow additional time for US shipments, as customs processing may take longer due to tariff clearance.
