Good books on stroke and epilepsy for a layperson?

I've doing research on stroke (pediatric, non-infant--I know, I picked a statistical minority here 🙂 ) and epilespy for two different projects, ad I've developed a great interest in these two topics and would really like to expand my knowledge of them. However, in both cases, I have had real trouble finding a decent clinical book on them that would be appropriate for a layperson--not a "how to cope book" for patients/families or a something meant specifically for neuros. While I have a decent bio background, stuff written by neurologists, for neurologists would probably by a bit behind my grasp. Anyone know a good casebook on either of these that a layperson could grasp?

Thanks
