High Sheriff of Cheshire 2019/20 The High Sheriff The Office of High Sheriff is the oldest secular Office in the United Kingdom after the Crown, and has existed for over 1,000 years. During the 11th and 12th centuries a High Sheriff’s powers were very extensive. They judged cases in the monthly court of the hundred; had law enforcement powers; could summon and command the ‘posse comitatus’ – the full power of the Shire in the service of the Sovereign; collected taxes and levies and all dues on Crown lands on behalf of the Crown. In short, High Sheriffs were the principal representatives and agents for the Crown. Today’s High Sheriffs are appointed by the monarch and are Her Majesty’s representative for Law and Order in the county. It is a non-political, annual appointment. In addition to supporting the judiciary and the blue light agencies, they take an active part in supporting, encouraging and acknowledging the great work achieved across the county, including the many volunteers in the community.

  • Shirley Hughes Was Born and Grew up in West Kirby, Near Liverpool. She
    Shirley Hughes was born and grew up in West Kirby, near Liverpool. She studied at Liverpool Art School and at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, before embarking on a career as a freelance illustrator. At first she worked as an interpretive illustrator, but she began to write and design her own picture books when her children were very young. Her first book, Lucy and Tom's Day, was published in 1960. Now living in London's Notting Hill, Shirley Hughes has illustrated over two hundred children's books and is renowned as a champion of children's literature. She has been the recipient of the Other Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award. She was shortlisted for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, which rewards the best in contemporary children's and young adult literature from all over the world, in 2010. Shirley Hughes won the first ever Book Trust Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to children's literature. Book Trust CEO, Diana Gerald, says: ‘Book Trust is thrilled that our first ever Lifetime Achievement Award goes to someone whose remarkable, multi-talented contribution to children's fiction spans several generations and continues to this day. Her characters are imprinted on the memories of two or three generations, a recognition of their enduring charm. This evergreen storytelling is something we particularly want to celebrate with this award. ‘Significantly, Shirley continues to innovate and create, providing young children with a love of reading that we know will give them a great start in life.

  • The Shirley Hughes Collection Free
    FREE THE SHIRLEY HUGHES COLLECTION PDF Shirley Hughes | 352 pages | 23 Nov 2000 | Random House Children's Publishers UK | 9780370326825 | English | London, United Kingdom The Shirley Hughes Collection | The Home Library Online Her most well known stories are probably Dogger, which won the Kate Greenaway medal inand in an award for the best book ever to have won the Kate Greenaway Medalthe Lucy and Tom stories, which began in and the Alfie stories, which first appeared in This book is a collection of her work, as illustrator and author — most but not all of the stories were written by her, but all use her illustrations. There are nearly big pages of stories, prose and rhymes for children. Her style is naturalistic, she uses watercolours a lot. I love her incredibly expressive faces and there is much vivid and humorous detail for children to look at. The pictures dominate the writing, particularly in the sections for younger children, with lots of full page and double spread illustrations and the writing seemingly added around them rather than the other way around. Alfie stories dominate the early part of this section, which is the part I have spent most time reading with my daughter. According to my daughter this little The Shirley Hughes Collection is called Rebecca and she is very popular in our house. My only — The Shirley Hughes Collection minor — criticism is that occasionally some of the stories can be a bit wordy. The stories all have engaging themes for young children. They can be quite long stories about simple pleasures such as a trip to the seaside or a birthday party, things that may seem humdrum to us jaded adults but are wondrous new experiences to a young child.
