Shelley Wood Gauld

Thank you for visiting Shelley Wood Gauld's webpage. This author, a graduate of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, is a professional South African artist and an educator in the fields of Religion and Fine Art.******* Her first illustrated nonfiction book, "Return to the Fountainhead of the Faith" explores 14 major world ideologies and the convoluted history of the Church. It also provides numerous fascinating insights into Christianity's neglected Jewish roots. The first edition of this title, published by Pleasant Word in 2003, was nominated for the Koret Foundation Jewish Book Awards. The release of the Revised Edition of this title (Lulu c 2006) coincided with the publication of the author's memoir, "Much Bigger than Grownups: Chronicles of a Native South African." In 2007, 6 x 9 inch editions of both books were released. ******* "Grownups" spans over five decades; from 1953, the year of the author's birth, to 2006. It commences in a stone house on a hill at “Campania” -- an Apartheid era Zulu trading-post in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa -- and draws to a close in a small RV park in Colorado, USA. The text is supplemented by means of quotes by pivotal personalities, a colorful glossary, and forty-five original art works; many of which are painted portraits of the book's characters. ******* "Boatographs: Art on Water" is a photographic essay consisting of 120 semi-abstract marina "water images." ******* Please note that each of the titles listed below features a different preview and that full previews of "Return" and "Grownups" are available on Google Book Search. ******* Also bear in mind that e-books [on Lulu referred to as "DOWNLOADS"] are the most immediate and economical means of acquiring copies of these titles.
