Lost San Francisco

Dennis Evanovsky and Eric J. Kos
The first in a new series that looks at how a city used to run—at the old
transport systems, the former city halls, the stores, the theaters, and cin-
emas, the gas stations, the restaurants, and the people on the sidewalk
Aspects of lost San Francisco that are examined here include the Victorian
Alcatraz, Cliff House Hotel before it burned down, the early Embarcadero,
the devastation of the 1906 earthquake, horse-drawn streetcars, and the
grandeur of the Sutro Baths both outside and in. The 1915 Panama-Pacific
Exposition buildings, the changes made to combat a possible Japanese in-
vasion during World War II, and some of the key hippie stores on Haight-
Ashbury before the area became more upscale are also documented.
Dennis Evanosky is the city editor at the Alameda Sun, a weekly newspaper
across the bay from San Francisco. Eric J. Kos formed Stellar Media Group
in 2001. They are the coauthors of East Bay Then and Now, Los Angeles Then
and Now, and San Francisco Then and Now. They both live in San Francisco.

Lost New York

Marcia Reiss
Coney Island’s Dreamland was destroyed by fire in 1911, the Metropol-
itan Opera House was demolished in 1967, and Moondance Diner was
moved to Wyoming in 2007. This book is a celebration of these and other
cherished parts of New York that are no longer.
The New York landmarks remembered here include Coney Island’s “Elephant
Colossus,” an elephant-shaped hotel rumored to be a brothel and destroyed
by fire in 1896; the Manhattan Beach Hotel; South Street Seaport; Stanford
White’s Madison Square Garden; the Vanderbilt, Tiffany, and Astor man-
sions; Central Park’s elevated railway; the first Waldorf Astoria Hotel; the
1939 World’s Fair site; Manhattan Train Terminal on Brooklyn Bridge; Ebbet’s
Field—home of the Brooklyn Dodgers; and the Polo Grounds—home of the
NY Giants baseball team. This collection celebrates old theaters and hotels
that have burned or been razed, vanished ferry buildings, removed-from-
service trolley cars, classic art deco diners, and the demolition that sparked
a strong preservation movement in the city, Pennsylvania Station.
Marcia Reiss is the author of Architectural Details, Brooklyn Then and Now, Central Park Then and Now, Manhattan in Pho-
tographs, New York Then and Now, and a series of guides to historic Brooklyn neighborhoods for the Brooklyn Historical So-
ciety. She is former policy director of the Parks Council, now New Yorkers for Parks, and former public affairs director for the
New York City Department of Ports and Trade. A former resident of Brooklyn and Manhattan, she lives in upstate New York.

Cary Grant
One of Hollywood’s best-loved stars, the debonair actor of more than
70 films embodies masculine chic—here is his life in pictures
Archie Leach, born in England into poverty, transformed himself into
Cary Grant and became rich and famous in America, an international
star, and an icon of gentlemanly style. This book provides a pictorial
account of his fascinating life story. A partial inspiration for James
Bond’s mixture of chic, virility, and sex appeal, and celebrated by col-
leagues for his sense of humor, Cary Grant was also an accomplished
actor, nominated twice for an Oscar and five times for a Golden Globe.
With his suave, debonair personality, he conquered Hollywood and be-
came an intimate friend of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Sophia
Loren, all of whom he appears with here in photos. He is also shown
with Ingrid Bergman, Clark Gable, Bob Hope, Alfred Hitchcock, Robert
Mitchum, Doris Day, and Marilyn Monroe in this sumptuous collec-
tion of images telling his cinematic life story.

A LIFE IN PICTURES
Edited by Yann-Brice Dherbier
Frank Sinatra
From bobbysoxers to boxing, from his home to Madison Square Gar-
den, rare and intimate photographs of The Chairman of the Board
A dandy, a crooner, and an actor, talented and scandalous, as close to the
Kennedys as to the underworld barons, Frank Sinatra fascinates. Coming
from a small town in New Jersey, the bad boy married Ava Gardner and con-
quered Hollywood, starring in more than 60 films and winning an Oscar
for Best Supporting Actor in 1953 for his role in From Here to Eternity. It’s
thanks to music, however, that his talent gained worldwide recognition. Nick-
named “The Voice” by the international press, Sinatra imposed his unique
style and sold more than 150 million albums in his 62-year career. Through
a captivating biography and rare and intimate photographs this collection
recalls his exceptional journey: as a father; as a singer working with such
talents as Elvis Presley, Quincy Jones, and Count Basie; as a member of the
Rat Pack; on set with Burt Lancaster, Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, or Steve Mc-
Queen; and off set with John F. Kennedy, Ava Gardner, or Mia Farrow.

James Dean
George Perry
A fully illustrated biography, including never-before-published photographs, of the
archetypal screen icon who lived fast and died young
This official account is a detailed, chronological biography of James Dean, fully illustrated
with color and black-and-white images from classic movies, family archives, and pri-
vate collections. Scattered throughout the book are special, self-contained feature pages
that explore aspects of his life and times: his passion for cars, his films, America in the
1950s, and the famous, black-and-white Dennis Stock photographs. The book contains
more than 30 photographs and memorabilia never published before, with a narrative
text giving the full account of his life and uncovering new details, all supported by a
selection of both family and famous photographs and letters. Following Dean from
the poor Quaker community of Fairmount, Indiana, via short-lived happiness with his
parents in California, to the trauma of his mother’s death, we see Dean enter the world
of acting from drama school to the turning point in his career: the audition for his
starring role in East of Eden. We go behind the scenes to see Dean the Hollywood Rebel
and a new style icon. The final chapter looks at his death and the aftermath—the leg-
end of James Dean, who transformed the idea of what movie stardom could be.
George Perry, former film editor of the Sunday Times and past president of the London Critics’ Circle, is an author, journalist,
and broadcaster. He has produced more than 30 books, many on film subjects such as The Great British Picture Show and For-
ever Ealing, and definitive studies of Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals, The Complete Phantom of the Opera and Sunset Boule-
vard: From Movie to Musical, as well as biographies of Rupert Bear, Monty Python, and Miss Bluebell.

Jack Robinson Portraits in Vogue

Jack Robinson
Photographs of some of the most iconic actors, artists, fashion designers, and
performers, from the late 1960s and early 1970s, including Jack Nicholson,
Michael Caine, Joni Mitchell, Ralph Lauren, and Andy Warhol
A unique photo portfolio of celebrated icons containing many images now pub-
lished for the first time, this stunningly produced book showcases 150 unforget-
table photographs selected from the vast archive of 150,000 photographs that
make up an extraordinary body of work. The roll call of subjects that Jack Robin-
son photographed in his career reads like a definitive who’s who of the period.
Robinson photographed not only actors and entertainers but the writers, artists,
fashion designers and politicians who shaped the cultural landscape of the 1960s
and early 1970s. His compelling portraits show a remarkable rapport: rarely have
his subjects—some of the most photographed individuals in the world—appeared
so unguarded and at ease in front of the lens. A favorite of legendary Vogue ed-
itor Diana Vreeland, Robinson’s photographs appeared more than 500 times in
the magazine. This unique showcase of images returns Jack Robinson to his right-
ful place as a master photographer of one of the 20th century’s defining periods.
Jack Robinson (1928–1997) was born in Meridian, Mississippi. His career as a photographer began during the early 1950s in
New Orleans where he documented the city’s street life and vibrant cultural scene. In 1955 he traveled to Mexico with the fa-
mous art dealer Betty Parsons. She encouraged him to pursue a career in New York as a fashion photographer; by the end of
the 1950s, his work was regularly featured in Life magazine and the New York Times until 1965 when he moved to Vogue and
shot many of his most memorable images. In December 1972, he left New York and moved to Memphis, where he earned a liv-
ing as a watercolorist and worked on stained glass windows.

Pioneers of Modern Design
From William Morris to Walter Gropius
Nikolaus Pevsner
Introduction by Richard Weston
A new edition, fully illustrated in color, of one of the most widely read books on mod-
ern design
Nikolaus Pevsner’s landmark work was first published in 1936. It remains as stimulat-
ing and challenging today as it was then. Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three
main sources: William Morris and his followers; the work of the 19th-century engineers;
and Art Nouveau. All of these form the essential background to the work of the early
Modernists, with their rejection of ornament, their use of new materials, and their com-
mitment to “utility” and the machine age. Pevsner looks at the early masters of the move-
ment, such as Voysey and Rennie Mackintosh in Britain; Sullivan and Lloyd Wright in
America; and Loos and Wagner in Vienna; ending in 1914, with Walter Gropius and the
Bauhaus movement representing design’s most radical break with the past. This new edi-
tion of this classic work is fully illustrated in color, with new feature spreads on the key
protagonists and movements and a new introduction by Professor Richard Weston.
Nikolaus Pevsner (1902–1983) was one of the 20th century’s most learned and stimu-
lating writers on art and architecture. He is best known for his celebrated series of guides,
The Buildings of England (46 volumes, published 1951–1974), acknowledged as one of
the great achievements of 20th-century scholarship. He was also founding editor of The
Pelican History of Art. Richard Weston is a professor of architecture and coeditor of the
journal Architectural Research Quarterly.

than 800 hugely popular designs that defined the swinging ’60s. Recognized worldwide
for her groundbreaking wallpaper patterns, this enigmatic Australian left behind a trove
of exquisite work, brilliantly displayed here in this authorized biography. Her ex-
traordinary life led to a tragic end, when on October 16, 1977, the design icon was
found murdered in her Paddington wallpaper showroom. This amazing package show-
cases more than 100 of her never-before-published patterns and popular prints such
as those owned by Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, and Carly Simon, alongside a fas-
cinating murder mystery.

out Limits.

Paul Gauguin
Translated by Jonathan Griffin
Afterword by Jean Loize
The original version of a great classic of modern art, back in print
Gauguin: Maker of Myth, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC,
February 27–June 5, 2011
Gauguin’s great diary from Tahiti almost never saw the light of day in its original form.
Sent by the artist to his friend Charles Morice in Paris, the manuscript was published
in 1901 with immediate success, under the names Paul Gauguin and Charles Morice.
With Gauguin’s permission, Morice had “edited” and enlarged it to make it more read-
able. It was to be 40 years before Gauguin’s original version came to light, and it is
published here in a translation by Jonathan Griffin, together with a detailed afterword
by Jean Loize, who rediscovered the manuscript. Loize shows that Morice had in parts
altered Gauguin’s text beyond recognition—a startling discovery that entirely changed
ideas about Gauguin’s style and intentions. This genuine version is not only an important
document, it is also a beautiful piece of writing: amusing, acid, wide-eyed, and mov-
ing. Gauguin feared that, unedited, it would seem absurdly crude; and no doubt it would
have, to most readers in his day. Today we can appreciate its sketch form, jerky directness, authentic freshness. This edition is
illustrated with the watercolors, wood-engravings, and drawings that Gauguin assembled for the book.
Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) is now recognized as one of the founders of modern art, though he found it difficult to make a liv-
ing, and in 1891 sailed for Polynesia to escape “civilization.” He stayed there, on and off, until his death in the Marquesas Is-
lands 12 years later. Jonathan Griffin (1906–1990) was a poet, translator, diplomat, and director of BBC European Intelligence
during World War II. He translated Pessoa, Char, Kleist, Montherlant, and many others. Jean Louize is an art historian.

China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was launched by
the Chinese Communist Party in May 1966 and ended with the
death of Mao in 1976. The 10 years of upheaval can now be seen
as a great tragedy, acknowledged within China itself as a “cul-
tural desert” in the nation’s intellectual history—but this is the
first study to place the imagery of the period into a context in
which the historical desert can be reappraised as something more
fertile. Jiang Jiehong, who grew up in Shanghai in the shadow of
the revolution, challenges the conventional dismissal of these bleak
years, by uncovering extraordinary visual dynamics. He has
brought to light incredible photographs of the period together with
painting, graphics, and even images of dance. Contemporary Chi-
nese art exists as a reaction against the conformity of those years,
yet a spirit of rebellion, ironically, lies at the heart of the revolu-
tion itself. The extent of the physical loss of the national heritage
was huge, and the scale of the human cost is unknown, but as a
mass movement in which an unparalleled visual experience was
imposed on and executed by the population of 800 million people, there is no historical precedent. The complexity of contem-
porary China is impossible to appreciate without an understanding of the radical cultural upheaval of these years.
Jiang Jiehong is an art historian and curator who works between Britain and China. He established a department of Chinese
studies at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design and his writing on contemporary Chinese art formed the text for The
Revolution Continues, the publication that coincided with the 2008 opening exhibition of the new Saatchi Gallery.

Queen
On Camera, Off Guard 1969–82
Mark Hayward
From their first appearance on Top of the Pops to outtakes from
It’s My Life, a fantastic selection of images from one of the world’s
best-loved supergroups
“A rare, candid view of two iconic rock groups.” —Library

Journal on The Beatles: On Camera, Off Guard and The Rolling
Stones: On Camera, Off Guard
Featuring pictures from 1969 to 1982, the images collected here in-
clude the first-ever photographs of Freddie Mercury as a performer
with Ibex in Bolton in June 1969, taken by songwriter Chris Smith
who recounts his experiences of the night. Further early images of Mer-
cury include pictures taken at Ealing Art College and outside his home
in Shepherd’s Bush where Queen’s first official photo session took place
in 1973. Images from their first Japanese tour, from the “Fat Bottomed
Girls” cover shoot, on tour in South America with Mercury’s boyfriend,
and many more allow fans to get closer to Mercury and the rest of
the band than any previous book. Furthermore, many of the photog-
raphers of these amazing images give their insights and stories, pro-
viding an intimate insight into Queen backstage, onstage, and at play.

Iron Maiden: In the Studio
The Stories Behind Every Album
Jake Brown
The band who influenced everyone, from Slayer to Gaga, gets the In the Studio treatment
Iron Maiden won their first Grammy in 2011
For the first time ever, the writing and recording of such iconic hits as “The Number of the
Beast,” “Flight of Icarus,” “Two Minutes to Midnight,” “Wasted Years,” “Can I Play with
Madness,” and “Hallowed Be Thy Name” are explored in-depth. Iron Maiden’s crossover
to chart success showed many bands how it could be done, making them a key part of heavy
metal’s acceptance as a credible genre. With an impressive catalogue of 15 studio albums
spread over 20 years including The Number of the Beast (1982), Seventh Son of a Seventh
Son (1988), and The Final Frontier (2010), their influence speaks for itself. This book takes
fans into the studio with a band that shows no sign of slowing down—2011 saw them win
their first Grammy and finish up a massive 101-date world tour in support of their 15th
album—and whose influence can still be heard in a thousand metal bands today.

Tom Waits in the Studio

Jake Brown
From The Heart of Saturday Night through Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bas-
tards, a rare look at the creative process of the Grammy-winning visionary artist
Tom Waits was a 2011 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Via exclusive interviews with engineers and producers and quoted commentary from
Tom Waits himself, this book investigates the artistic process behind his unique sound—
a sound which has mutated over his career and proved nearly impossible to mimic,
although many have tried. One of the most fascinating singers and songwriters work-
ing today and considered by many to be a genius, Waits has ridden his own trends
for the better part of 40 years, defying any and all notion of convention outside the
context of his own subgenre. An investigatory thread runs throughout the book, and
the treasure trove of information and insight will prove a must for any fan of this
most enigmatic and revered of craftsmen. A complete discography is included.

Heart of Darkness
Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska
David Burke
From the nature of the material itself and the history of American folk music which fore-
told it, to the legacy and influence on later generations of musicians, an exploration of
the classic 20th-century album that sees its 30th anniversary in 2012
In January 1982, Bruce Springsteen recorded a set of demos in his New Jersey bedroom—
a follow up to The River, the double album issued in 1980 which had reached the top of
the Billboard charts. Expectations were grand, and these demo recordings promised an im-
pressive album. However, after a series of sessions with the E Street Band spent working on
the material, Springsteen felt these new recordings failed to capture the intimacy of the home
demos and made the incredible decision to eschew the expensive, state of the art produc-
tions, and release the crude, home recorded version of the album. Almost 30 years later,
Nebraska is considered a classic, not only among Springsteen’s canon but among the entire
body of work recorded during the 20th century. The album captured the public’s imagina-
tion, reached number three on the Billboard, and added a new, darker side to Springsteen’s
public persona. Springsteen’s fanbase is awash with rumors that an anniversary edition of
Nebraska will include the elusive studio recordings and tracks not included on the original
album—to which the author has had access and has discussed here.

With the Beatles
Alistair Taylor
Millions of words have been written about the Beatles, but nobody knew them quite like
Alistair Taylor. Originally published as A Secret History, this is a unique insider portrait
of the Fab Four
Look at the first contract with Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein, and you will see only one
other name—Alistair Taylor’s. By the band’s side from the very beginning, he beheld the in-
ception and growth of the most extraordinary musical phenomenon of the last century. He
witnessed the fun, the high life, the adulation, and the music. But he was also there when
things started to go wrong: when George Harrison quit the band at the height of their suc-
cess and when it all started to spiral out of control—and he reveals for the first time ex-
actly what caused their breakup. Filled with many rare photos in addition to an insider’s
stories, this is a must for fans. As Brian Epstein’s right-hand man, Alistair Taylor was with
the charismatic manager when he first saw the Beatles perform at the Cavern; he later be-
came the band’s trusted, ever-present friend. It was he who found Epstein’s body after his
suicide and, in the reorganization that followed, Taylor went on to become manager of Apple,
the Beatles’ record company.
Alistair Taylor (1935–2004) was Brian Epstein’s personal assistant at the time he signed
the Beatles and later the general manager of Apple. He is the witness on their original con-
tract and was dubbed “Mr. Fix-It” by the band.

15 Miles
Rob Scott
A gripping, fast-paced, epic horror/thriller that combines the best of both genres—
sure to appeal to both horror and crime fans
“An ingenious mix of American Gothic horror story and forensic investigation,
with plot undertones of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction or at least
the fear of them, which rattles along at a great pace. Rob Scott proves himself a
master of the macabre.” —Crime Squad
“Equal parts Stephen King and Scott Sigler . . . Scott’s lightness of touch and
unfussy prose deliver unto us a likeable hero, one who it’s a dark joy to spend
time with. . . . The best kind of ghost story.” —SFX
“Mixes hard-hitting police procedural with creepy psychological horror. . . .
A compulsively page-turning debut.” —Guardian
Samuel “Sailor” Doyle has transferred from Vice to Homicide in the Virginia State
Police. He has a mistress, an alcohol problem, a prescription drug dependency, and
a burgeoning self-loathing that alienates his wife and family. On Friday, July 3, the
rookie investigator is assigned to a double homicide on a rural farm some 15 miles
outside Richmond. One of the victims has been interred in a makeshift tomb, while
the other is stuck half-in, half-out of a hope chest overflowing with cat litter; the farm
is covered with dead bodies—dozens of cats, sheep, goats, cows, and one dead horse;
and the mentally handicapped daughter of the victims, Carl and Claire Bruckner, is
missing. Doyle soon discovers that Bruckner was a Marine captain who lost his leg
in Vietnam thanks to the incompetence of his commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Lake—now a Republican Party
presidential hopeful, who will be speaking in Richmond the following evening. What Doyle fails to realize as he follows the var-
ious clues is that wherever he goes, he is spreading disease—and not just any disease, but Yersinia pestis—the plague. Is the dead
Marine planning revenge, even from beyond the grave?
Rob Scott is a school principal and the coauthor of the Eldarn trilogy, which included The Hickory Staff, Lessek’s Key, and The
Larion Senators. He lives in Haymarket, Virginia.

Eldritch Tales
A Miscellany of the Macabre
H. P. Lovecraft
Illustrations by Les Edwards
Afterword by Stephen Jones
Following the phenomenal success of Necronomicon, its companion volume
brings together Lovecraft’s remaining major stories plus his weird poetry, a num-
ber of obscure revisions, and some notable nonfiction, including the seminal
critical essay Supernatural Horror in Literature
“Lovecraft opened the way for me, as he had done for others before me.”
—Stephen King
“He’s an American original, whose influences on subsequent writers in the
field is all-pervasive.” —Joyce Carol Oates
“You need to read him—he’s where the darkness starts.” —Neil Gaiman
Gathering together in chronological order the rest of Lovecraft’s rarely seen but
extraordinary short fiction, this collection includes the entirety of the long-out-
of-print collection of 36 sonnets “Fungi from Yoggoth.” Howard Phillips Love-
craft died at the age of 47, but in his short life he turned out dozens of stories
which changed the face of horror. His extraordinary imagination spawned both
the Elder God Cthulhu and his eldritch cohorts, and the strangely compelling town
of Innsmouth, all of which are featured within these pages. Stephen Jones, one of
the world’s foremost editors of dark fiction, completes the Lovecraft story in his
extensive afterword, and award-winning artist Les Edwards provides numerous illustrations for this must-have collection.
H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) has been hailed as one of the most important and influential authors of supernatural fiction of the
20th century. A life-long resident of Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft’s tales are often set in the fear-haunted towns of an
imaginary area of Massachusetts, or in the cosmic vistas that exist beyond space and time. Since his untimely death, he has been
acknowledged as an American master of fantasy fiction, second only to Edgar Allan Poe. Les Edwards is an illustrator known
for his work in the horror, science fiction, and fantasy genres who has won the British Fantasy Society Award for Best Artist
seven times, and was awarded the World Fantasy Award in 2008. He has done numerous illustrations for Robert E. Howard’s
Conan stories and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, and for books by such authors as Anne McCaffrey, Frank Herbert, and
Jack Vance. Stephen Jones is an acclaimed horror anthologist and the winner of three World Fantasy Awards, four Horror Writ-
ers Association Bram Stoker Awards, and three International Horror Guild Awards as well as being a 20-time recipient of the
British Fantasy Award and a Hugo Award nominee.

The Leaping
Tom Fletcher
Oozing with menace, this innovative blend of horror, folktale, and disturbing realism is
the first installment in what is shaping up to be a genre-defining series
“I haven’t been so blown away by a horror debut since I first read Clive Barker’s
Books of Blood 25 years ago. The Leaping is everything that good fiction should be—
it is compelling, relevant, and original . . . like a dark, corrupt fairy tale, oozing with
dread and ancient menace.” —Mark Morris, author, Fatal Error
“Strong, convincing characters and great atmosphere. Bleak and compelling, this un-
usual mixture of grubby social realism with folklore and superstition stands out from
the crowd.” —Times
“A book that’s stiff with foreboding and dread right from the start. . . . It’s a literary,
literate horror novel—and has a mordant, knowing, blackly ironic style to it. But it’s
relentless, too, in its avowed intention of scaring the life out of its readers, with every-
thing it can throw at us.” —Paul Magrs, author, Sick Building
Jack finished university three years ago, but he’s still stuck in a dead-end job in a sinister
call center in Manchester. When the beautiful—and rich—Jennifer comes into his life he thinks
he has finally found his ticket out of there. The trouble is, his boss is interested in Jennifer
as well, and there’s something strangely bestial about him. So when Jennifer buys Fell House,
a mysterious ruined mansion out in the remote mountains, a move to the country seems
like the answer to all their problems. But an ancient evil is waiting in the valleys—Fell House
has another owner. Edgy, original, and terrifying, this novel explores the darkness that lies
beneath Britain’s bleak post-industrial northwest.
Tom Fletcher has published a number of his short stories. This is his first novel.

The Thing on the Shore

Tom Fletcher
The second in the series that began with The Leaping, set in a malevolent call center that
just might be alive—affirming Tom Fletcher as the dark master for the “temp” generation
When Artemis Black is assigned to manage a call center in the bleak coastal town of White-
haven on behalf of a mysterious multinational corporation called Interext, the isolation and
remoteness of the place encourage him to implement a decidedly unhinged project. He in-
stalls what purports to be cutting-edge AI technology, with a real, “human” voice, on the
automated answering systems. As a result, one of his employees, Arthur, becomes aware of
an intangible landscape inside the labyrinthine systems of the call center—a landscape in
which he can feel some kind of otherworldly consciousness stirring and in which, perhaps
as a result of his father’s increasingly alarming eccentricities, he feels that he could find his
recently deceased mother. Arthur takes refuge in this belief as his father, his job, and his
house slowly deteriorate around him. He begins to conflate the mysterious, interstitial re-
gion that exists down the phone lines with the sea, as that was where his mother drowned.
In a way he is right—Artemis’ meddlings have attracted something, it is just not as benev-
olent as he thinks.
Tom Fletcher has published a number of his short stories. This is his second novel.

The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo
Adam Roberts
From the author of acclaimed sci-fi novels Swiftly and Yellow Blue Tibia—
as well as of absurdly silly satires The Soddit and Doctor Whom—comes
a parody of Stieg Larsson’s massive bestseller
Lizbreath Salamander is young and beautiful. Her scales have an iridescent sheen,
her wings arch proudly, her breath has a tang of sulfur, and on her back is a
tattoo of a mythical creature—a girl. But when Lizbreath is drawn into a dark
conspiracy she will have to rely on more than just her beauty and her vicious
claws the size of sabers. A dragon has disappeared, one of a secretive clan. As
Lizbreath delves deeper into their history she realizes that these dragons will
do anything to defend their secrets. Welcome to a world of gloomy Nordic drag-
ons leading lives uncannily like our own (despite their size and the need for ex-
tensive fireproofing of home furnishings), a world of money hoarded, a world
of darkness and corruption—a world where people are the fantasy.
Adam Roberts is a novelist whose titles include Gradisil, New Model Army,
Salt, Swiftly, and Yellow Blue Tibia. His work has been nominated for the
Arthur C. Clarke Award and the Philip K. Dick Award. His previous paro-
dies include Doctor Whom: E.T. Shoots and Leaves, I Am Scrooge, The Sel-
lamillion, and The Va Dinci Cod.

The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels

of the Modern Age
The newest opus from the Master of Far-Fetched Fiction features magic, mayhem, mechani-
cal marvels, messianic madness, and the music hall
Colonel Katterfelto has returned to London, having departed America where he had been engaged
in the creation of "Heaven's last and best gift to Mankind," The Mechanical Messiah—he was,
after all, being guided in this Great Work by holy angels, communicating to him through his mon-
key butler, Darwin. It is 1897, the British Empire encompasses Mars, and an uneasy peace exists
between the peoples of Venus, Jupiter, and Earth. But all is far from well in old Whitechapel, where
a monster is once more abroad in the night-time streets, committing hideous acts of murder. Can
this be the return of Jack the Ripper, or has something altogether unearthly and Hellishly evil
materialized? Famed consulting detective Cameron Bell is already on the case, but it may take
nothing less than the New Messiah Himself to save London, The Empire, and all of the solar sys-
tem from the impending apocalypse.

The Japanese Devil Fish Girl & Other Unnatural Attractions

Rankin’s far-fetched, steampunk sequel to The War of the Worlds!
It’s 1895, nearly a decade since Mars invaded Earth, chronicled by H. G. Wells in The War
of the Worlds. Wrecked Martian spaceships, back-engineered by Charles Babbage and Nikola
Tesla, have carried the Queen’s Own Electric Fusiliers to the red planet, and Mars is now
part of the ever-expanding British Empire. Professor Coffin has a problem: the pickled Mar-
tian’s tentacles are fraying at the ends, and his Most Meritorious Unnatural Attraction (the
remains of the original alien autopsy, performed by Sir Frederick Treves at the London Hos-
pital) is no longer drawing the crowds. The less-than-scrupulous sideshow proprietor likes
Off-worlders’ cash, so he needs a sensational new attraction. Word has reached him of the
Japanese Devil Fish Girl; nothing quite like her has ever existed before. But Professor Cof-
fin’s quest to possess the ultimate showman’s exhibit is about to cause considerable friction
among the folk of other planets. Sufficient, in fact, to spark off Worlds War Two.

Making for an explosive debut, this dark, urban gothic-punk thriller is set in the Levels,
an abandoned housing project on the outskirts of Newport
“One of Cregan’s great strengths is his unerring gift for architectural description that
forces the reader to visualize the sheer horror of it all. . . . Cregan’s evocation of he Lev-
els is filmic, the location intensely realized, as much a character as the protagonists them-
selves . . . his taut prose propels us through to the explosive ending.” —Crimeculture
“A convincing, engaging and constantly surprising industrial thriller, it marks the ar-
rival of a huge new talent.” —Steve Mosby, author, The 50/50 Killer
On the East Coast there lies an abandoned housing project called the Levels. Inhabited by
Newport’s homeless population, the Levels are run by the all-powerful Sorrow. While ex-
CIA agent Nate Turner is in the Levels to find out who has just tried to kill him, he meets
a 14-year-old girl named Ghost. Ghost is a Fury, one of Sorrow’s trained teenage assassins,
looking for a way back to her normal life. Kate is a suspended cop who has been told that
she has only days to live after being attacked, and infected, by the Beast, a serial killer work-
ing the streets. The Beast is out for revenge on Kate’s new employer, who he believes cre-
ated the infection that’s killing him, an infection that has also been released into the Levels.
Now Ghost is trying to escape Sorrow, Kate is looking for the Beast, and Turner is looking
for answers. One thing’s for sure—some people aren’t going to survive the fallout.
Sean Cregan also wrote Winter’s End under the name John Rickards.

tention, has detonated a bomb, killing dozens. Journalist Maya Cassinelli, whose ex-boyfriend

H. G. Wells Classic Collection II
H. G. Wells
A second omnibus collecting more of H. G. Wells’ best-loved works, cor-
nerstones of early science fiction that are perfect for collectors and afi-
cionados of the genre
Four novels from the grandfather of science fiction are collected here in one
package. In the Days of the Comet is a 1906 story in which the vapors of a
comet bring about a profound and lasting transformation in the attitudes and
perspectives of humankind. The 1923 novel Men Like Gods features a jour-
nalist who finds himself in a utopian parallel universe, and as the utopian
attitudes begin to have their effect on him, he finds that he and his fellow
travelers may be having their own effect upon the utopia. The 1910
dystopian tale The Sleeper Awakes centers on a man who sleeps for 203 years,
waking up in a completely transformed London, where he has become the
richest man in the world. Lastly, The War in the Air, from 1907, is notable
for its prophetic ideas, images, and concepts, in particular the use of the air-
craft for the purpose of warfare and the coming of World War I.
H. G. Wells (1866–1946) is regarded as one of the all-time greatest authors
of science fiction.

Boy in Darkness and Other Stories
Mervyn Peake
Edited by Sebastian Peake
Foreword by Joanne Harris
Introduction by Maeve Gilmore
A collection of stories and illustrations by the writer of classic literary fantasy, with the title
novella an episode in the Gormenghast series—one of the most original and sustained flights
of imaginative writing of the 20th century
In cooperation with the Mervyn Peake Estate, this is a selection of long-out-of-print short sto-
ries and more than 50 never before published illustrations by one of England’s most unique
and multi-talented artists. The title story will be of special interest to fans of the Gormeng-
hast books, as it comprises a chapter in the life of Titus Groan that unfolds beyond the pages
of Peake’s monumental trilogy. A disturbingly atmospheric tale, told with the force and sim-
plicity of allegory, “Boy in Darkness” distills the strange logic of the Gormenghast trilogy into
a story of pith and mystery, which bears comparison with Kafka and Poe. Written across a
range of genres, from a ghost story to wry character studies drawn from his life in London
and on the Isle of Sark, the other tales in the volume reveal surprisingly different facets of Peake’s
uncanny imagination. Ultimately, the collection coheres through Peake’s powers to enchant
the mundane and to render the fantastic normal.
Mervyn Peake (1911–1968) was an English modernist writer, artist, poet, and illustrator who is best known for his pioneering
Gormenghast series, which have become classics in the literary fantasy genre. He was also a noted illustrator of classic chil-
dren’s books including Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Treasure Island. Sebastian Peake is Mervyn Peake's eldest son and
the cocompiler of Mervyn Peake: A Man and His Art. Joanne Harris is the author of Blackberry Wine, Chocolat, Five Quarters
of the Orange, and The Girl with No Shadow. Maeve Gilmore is Mervyn Peake’s widow.

A Book of Nonsense
The Centenary Edition
Mervyn Peake
Showcasing another quirky side of the author best known for his monumental fantasy tril-
ogy, Gormenghast, this collection contains pieces recently discovered by the Peake family
From the macabre to the brilliantly off-beat, Mervyn Peake’s nonsense verse can be enjoyed
by young and old alike. This collection of writings and drawings has been selected by his
widow, Maeve Gilmore, and it introduces a bewitching gallery of characters and creatures
rivalling the best of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear—creatures such as the Dwarf of Bat-
tersea and Footfruit. Also included are never-before-seen illustrations to the poems not in
previous editions. This treasure trove will delight new and old fans alike with its deceptively
goofy, actually quite complex verse—it’s quirky and comical, occasionally alarming, but al-
ways magical.

In the desolate wastes of Greenland in 1067, a band of hunters stumble across a strangely
shaped object that has fallen from the sky. At first, the mysterious “sky-stone” seems to bring

murder soon follow in fortune’s wake as the villagers fight and struggle among themselves
to gain control of the precious stone. Over the next 600 years, the sky-stone falls into the
hands of crusading knights, the wicked sheriff of Devon, a group of radical young kabbal-
ists, the dying King Henry III, and a band of traveling players.

Religion, politics, and the spirit of King Arthur reign in this thrilling seventh bloody his-
torical mystery from the acclaimed Medieval Murderers
Cerdic, a young boy who has the ability to see into the future, has a mysterious treasure in
his possession. A blind old woman once gave him a miniature knife with an ivory bear hilt—
the symbol of King Arthur—and told him that when the time comes he will know what he
has to do with it. But when he and his brother, Baradoc, are enlisted into King Arthur’s army,
he finds that trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. When Baradoc dies fighting
with King Arthur in an ambush of the Saxons on Solsbury Hill, Cerdic buries the dagger in
the side of the hill as a personal tribute to his brother. From that day forward throughout
history, Solsbury Hill continues to be the scene of murder and theft—leaving a trail of corpses
and treasure buried in the hill as an indication of its turbulent past.

he has very little choice about sharing them with the new rulers. Or so they think,
for Aelric has not lost any of the cunning and courage that have so far kept him alive.

Zulu Hart
For fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe series, this masterful Victo-
rian adventure set in the Zulu wars in South Africa introduces George Hart—part British,
part Zulu, all warrior
George Hart was always an outsider. Bullied at school for his suspiciously dark skin and
lack of a father, Hart soon learns to fight—and win. At 18, his world is shaken by his mother’s
revelation that he is the bastard son of an important general in the British Army, who is
willing to give him a vast inheritance—provided he can prove himself worthy of the prize.
At a time when racism and prejudice are rife, and an impeccable background is vital to ac-
ceptance in Victorian society, Hart struggles to come to terms with his identity, and, leav-
ing the army, he decides to head to South Africa, and a fresh start. But George Hart has
soldiering in his blood, and once in Africa the urge to rejoin the army is strong. Ready for
battle but hoping for peace, Hart is caught between two fierce and unyielding forces as Britain
heads for war with the Zulus. Hart must make a choice—and fight for his life.

litical affairs, but, desperate for money, he takes the job and descends the Khyber Pass into a
strange and violent land. When his warnings are ignored by the pompous British Resident in
Kabul, a terrible massacre occurs, and soon Hart is on the run with a beautiful Afghan princess,
in a race to prevent an uprising and head off a catastrophic British invasion.

Narrated by a soldier who accompanies Odysseus, this epic saga of Ancient Greece and the
start of the Trojan War charts one man’s journey to become a king—and a legend
Greece is a country in turmoil, divided by feuding kingdoms desiring wealth, power, and re-
venge. When Eperitus, a young exiled soldier, comes to the aid of a group of warriors in bat-
tle, little does he know that it will be the start of an incredible adventure—for he is about to
join the charismatic Odysseus, Prince of Ithaca, on a vital quest to save his homeland. Odysseus
travels to Sparta to join the most famous heroes of the time in paying suit to the sensuous Helen.
Armed with nothing but his wits and intelligence, he must enter a treacherous world of war-
fare and politics to compete for the greatest prize in Greece; but few care for the problems of
an impoverished prince when war with Troy is beckoning.

The Gates of Troy

The call to arms has come—the battle for Troy begins, in this second saga of ancient Greece
It has been 10 years since Odysseus and the warrior Eperitus joined the heroes of the age to
compete for the hand of Helen of Sparta. Settled in his small island kingdom, Odysseus wants
nothing more than to rule Ithaca in peace. Meanwhile Eperitus, frustrated at his quiet life,
dreams of glory in battle. When the lion-motifed sails of Agamemnon appear on the horizon,
Odysseus knows that the time for peace is over and a time of war is beginning. Helen of Sparta
has been abducted by a prince of Troy and the hosts of ancient Greece are gathering, and as
the greatest names flock to join the crusade, only Achilles is missing. Odysseus must use all
his wits and cunning to hunt him down and persuade him to join their cause—for without
Achilles, the gates of Troy will never fall.

The Armour of Achilles

The siege of Troy is in its 10th year, in the third book continuing from King of Ithaca and
The Gates of Troy
The Greeks, with Achilles at their head, have inflicted numerous defeats on the Trojans, but
Troy itself still stands. Dispirited, bitter, and frustrated by the war, Odysseus and his men think
lovingly of home. But while Agammenon is still determined to avenge himself upon Troy for
the theft of Helen by Paris, they are all trapped by the oath that Odysseus created. Eperitus,
captain of Odysseus’ guards, is tormented by his own oath—to protect the very man who
murdered his daughter. When Agamemnon is threatened with mutiny by a disillusioned army
he changes his tactics, ordering a series of attacks on the allies of Troy, thus depriving the
city of reinforcements, trade, and supplies—but even this cannot draw the Trojans out from
behind their walls. When Agamemnon angers the formidable Achilles, the battle for Troy seems
doomed to failure. For it’s only through the strength of their golden warrior that the pride
of the Trojans will finally fall.

Anthony Riches
“Fast-paced and gripping ‘read-through-the-night’ fiction, with marvellous characters and occasional moments of
dark humor. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both."

Anthony Riches began his lifelong interest in war and soldiers when he first heard his father’s stories
about World War II. This led to a degree in military studies. He began writing the story that
would become Wounds of Honour after a visit to Housesteads Roman fort.

Wounds of Honour
From an exciting new thriller writer for fans of Conn Iggulden and Simon Scarrow, this
is the first book in an exhilarating trilogy that lavishly brings to life the great events and
battles of the times, and will take its hero far and wide through the Roman Empire
Thrilling, authentic, and action-packed, this novel introduces soldier hero Marcus Valerius:
a centurion stationed on Hadrian’s Wall in the second century during a revolt against the
Roman Empire. Marcus Valerius Aquila has scarcely landed in Britannia when he has to run
for his life—condemned to dishonorable death by the power-crazed emperor Commodus. The
plan is to take a new name, serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian’s Wall, and lie low until
he can hope for justice—but then a rebel army sweeps down from the wastes north of the
Wall, and Marcus has to prove he’s hard enough to lead a century in the front line of a bru-
tal, violent war.

Arrows of Fury
The thrilling sequel to Wounds of Honour continues this action-packed series set in
Roman Britain—fascinatingly authentic stories about the army from the point of view of
the Roman soldier
The Battle of the Lost Eagle saved Hadrian’s Wall, but the new Roman governor of Britan-
nia must stamp out the rebellion of the northern tribes or risk losing the province. Rampag-
ing south with sword and flame under the command of their murderous chieftain Calgus, they
have stretched his forces to the limit. For Marcus—now simply Centurion Corvus of the 1st
Tungrian cohort—the campaign has become doubly dangerous. As reinforcements flood into
Britannia he is surrounded by new officers with no reason to protect him from the emperor’s
henchmen. Death could result from a careless word as easily as from an enemy spear. Worse,
one of them is close on his heels—while Marcus is training two centuries of Syrian archers
to survive a barbarian charge and then take the fight back to their enemy, the new prefect of
the 2nd Tungrians has discovered his secret. Only a miracle can save Marcus and the men
who protect him from disgrace and death.

Fortress of Spears
The enthralling third entry in the Empire series takes the legions deep into north Britan-

The Romans have vanquished the rebel alliance, leaving Calgus, Lord of the Northern Tribes,
the prisoner of the chieftains he once led. But the new Roman leader will not let them rest.
He forms an audacious plan to capture Dinpaladyr, the Selgovaes’ fortress of spears, and re-
turn it to the hands of a trusted ally. Marcus Aquila—burning for revenge on an enemy army
that has killed one of his best friends—is part of the select group of infantry chosen to go
north with the Petriana cavalry and take the fort before the rebel army can reach it. He be-
lieves his disguise as Centurion Corvus of the 2nd Tungrians is still holding, but he is just a
few days ahead of two of the emperor’s agents sent from Rome to kill him—they are pitiless
assassins who know his real name, and too much about his friends.

BELLA WALLIS MYSTERIES
Brian Thompson
“Drops us headfirst into the realm of 19th-century sensation fiction—the lurid stuff of Wilkie Collins and old-
fashioned penny dreadfuls. . . . As the curtain-raiser for a new detective series, this novel is a bold beginning.”
—Sunday Telegraph
“A neo-Victorian yarn that rattles on merrily and rings true. We are told that more instalments
of Bella’s exploits are on the way. Let them come, say I.” —Financial Times

The Widow’s Secret

Meet Bella Wallis—a charismatic Victorian widow with a sideline in sensationalist novels,
and a fierce determination to seek revenge in print for what can never be achieved in real life
Bella Wallis is a respectable society woman with a secret identity: in an office buried deep
within the seedy backstreets of London, she writes sensationalist novels under the pen name
Henry Ellis Margam, exposing the scoundrels that litter high society. So when a crested cigar
case is found near the body of a murdered prostitute, Bella and her friends are determined to
trace the murderer and write a mystery that will avenge the poor girl’s untimely death. But
the owner of the cigar case is a dangerous—and rich—man who has already destroyed the
lives of others who have crossed him. Will Bella see justice done, or will she meet the same
fate as so many of her characters? The first in the Bella Wallis series of mysteries, it takes read-
ers from London to Paris, from the highest of society to the lowest of the low. It is an enter-
taining, effervescent romp and a wonderful introduction to this most charismatic of sleuths.

The Sailor’s Ransom

Alexander McCall Smith meets Sarah Waters in an effervescent new series with a glam-
orous, witty heroine—think 1870s Murder She Wrote
In London in 1875, at Lady Cornford’s famous soiree (sugared almonds and tittle-tattle)
everyone is gossiping about Henry Ellis Margam’s latest hit, The Widow’s Secret—but only
a few people know that one of Lady C’s guests, the enigmatic Bella Wallis, is in fact the
bestselling novelist. Bella punishes evil-doers by exposing them as thinly disguised charac-
ters in the books she writes under her male pseudonym. One of her confidantes is the dash-
ing Philip Westland, who comes to her now with a problem: his best friend Kennett is smitten
by Miss Mary Skillane, an heiress whose father has promised her to Robert Judd, a vulgar
treasure seeker. Mary is due to inherit the Skillane pearls, currently residing in a Cornish
bank vault, but it seems the pearls were ill-gotten. Can Bella and her friends unite the young
lovers and escape the attention of the villainous Judd?

The Player’s Curse

Kidnap, curses, and cross-dressing: all in a day’s work for sassy crimesolver extraordi-
naire Bella Wallis
Bella Wallis’s clandestine career as crime novelist Henry Ellis Margam is proving as success-
ful as ever, but affairs of the heart are proving far trickier. Her long and half-acknowledged
engagement to Westland is beginning to strain as his own shadowy government job contin-
ually takes him abroad—and then there’s the matter of his sister’s incarceration in a French
nunnery, about which he refuses to say a word. Bella determines that their future life together
can only be resolved by getting to the bottom of Westland’s secret. Her journey takes her from
the Oval, and a vicious curse laid on W. G. Grace, to the desolate moors of Yorkshire, on the
trail of some decidedly dangerous women and a surprisingly chatty hermit. When—at op-
posite ends of Europe—Philip is kidnapped and Bella taken hostage, the old team of Urmis-
ton, Quigley, and Murch must pull together to save them—with varying degrees of
bad-mouthing and knockabout violence, but never without bright wit and oodles of panache.

In 1358, the fledging college of Michaelhouse in Cambridge is in need of extra funds.
A legacy from the Archbishop of York of a parish close to that city promises a wel-

But soon he and his colleagues learn that several of the Archbishop’s executors have

beneficiary cannot be found.

The seventh Thomas Chaloner adventure in Restoration London
Thomas Chaloner is relieved to be summoned back to London. His master, the Earl
of Clarendon, has sent him to Tangier to investigate a case of corruption. Chaloner
will be glad to be home and reunited with his new wife, but the trivial reason for his
recall exasperates him—the theft of material from the construction site of Clarendon’s
embarrassingly sumptuous new house just north of Piccadilly. Within hours of his re-
turn, Chaloner considers these thefts even more paltry as he is thrust into extra in-
vestigations involving threats of assassination, a stolen corpse, and a scheme to frame
the Queen for treason. Yet there are connections from them all which thread through
the unfinished Clarendon House.

The Dancing Years

The Morland family now has branches spread across the Empire and the New World
In 1919, as the euphoria of the Armistice fades, the nation counts the cost: millions dead or dis-
abled, unemployment, strikes, and shortages. As prices and taxes rise, it becomes harder to re-
member what the war was for. Teddy tries to recreate balance, but then a trip to France to see
the place where Ned fell has unforeseen consequences. Polly, grieving for Erich Kuppel, persuades
her father to send her to New York—despite Prohibition, the great city, pulsing with life, prom-
ises her a fresh start. Jessie and Bertie, detained in London by Bertie’s job, long to start their
new life together; while Jack becomes a pioneer of civil aviation, but when the company fails
he’s faced with unemployment, with a growing family to support. The generation that saw things
no man should see must find relief from their own memories. A new world is struggling to be
born out of the ashes; but as long as the music lasts, they will keep on dancing.

Morland is the most feted beauty in New York—but a proposal of marriage from the power-

Every Dark Place
Craig Smith
A dark and terrifying crime becomes the unlikely catalyst for one man’s redemption and
another’s ruin in another stylish noir thriller from the author of Cold Rain
“A fine novel, suspenseful and impossible to stop reading.” —Booklist on Cold Rain
Ten years ago, sleepy Shiloh Springs was shaken as five teenagers were clubbed and shot to
death and a sixth left for dead. Now the conviction of Booker, the killer, has been overturned
after allegations that his rights were violated on his arrest. Rick Trueblood is a careworn
private investigator working for the Shiloh County prosecutor’s office and still grieving for
a daughter murdered eight years ago—a crime he has never been able to solve. The judge
has allowed 60 days for the prosecutor’s office to find enough evidence to retry the case, but
as Rick struggles to reinvestigate a trail long gone cold he uncovers a rat’s nest of intrigue
and duplicity with ramifications that lead closer to home than he could have possibly imag-
ined. In the meantime, Booker is out on bail, intending to kidnap and murder the two ado-
lescent daughters of the minister who brought him to faith. In the desperate hours that follow
him snatching the girls, Rick recovers his instinct for the hunt, and with it, quite unexpect-
edly, a renewed passion for life.
Craig Smith is a former professor at the University of North Colorado. He is the author of

The Cutting Room

Louise Welsh
A reissue of the outstanding contemporary Glasgow novel for which Welsh won the Saltire
First Book of the Year Award and the Crime Writers’ Association Creasey Dagger, was cho-
sen as one of Britain’s Best First Novelists by the Guardian, and was nominated for the
Orange Prize for Fiction
“You can find traces of morality tales, urban fiction, crime stories and Gothics in The
Cutting Room without finding any single point of comparison that mirrors the book’s
unique voice or hardened humanism. It’s a brilliant debut.” —Salon.com
“The likableness of an unedifying character like Rilke is part of the pleasure of the de-
tective story.” —New York Times
Rilke is eccentric, witty, and frequently outrageous. An auctioneer by profession, he is an ac-
knowledged expert in antiques but also considers himself something of an expert in many other
fields. When he comes upon a hidden collection of graphically violent erotic photographs, he feels
compelled to unearth more about the deceased owner who coveted them. What follows is a com-
pulsive journey of discovery, decadence, and deviousness, steered in part by Rilke’s gay promis-
cuity and inquisitive nature. Louise Welsh’s writing is stylish and captivating; she combines aspects
of a detective story with shades of the gothic in a colorful Glasgow ranging from the genteel suburbs to a transvestite club, auction
house to the bookies, pub, and porn shop. The result is a page-turning, darkly atmosopheric, and deliciously original debut.
Louise Welsh is the bestselling author of Tamburlaine Must Die, The Bullet Trick, and Naming the Bones. She was chosen as
one of Britain’s Best First Novelists of 2002 by the Guardian. Her awards include the Crime Writers’ Association John Creasey
Memorial Dagger and the Saltire First Book Award.

WYCLIFFE SERIES
W. J. Burley
“First-class, old-time, hyper-ingenious whodunit.” —Observer

“We have no choice but to repeat ourselves by emphasizing one more time how pleasurable the familiar conventions
of the genre can be in the hands of a writer as good as Burley.” —Booklist on Wycliffe and the Redhead
“He never fails to provide a puzzle that will delight procedural purists.” —Publishers Weekly on Wycliffe and the Redhead
W. J. Burley (1914–2002) was a schoolmaster until he retired to concentrate on his writing. He is best known for his crime
novels featuring Charles Wycliffe, which were the basis for Wycliffe, a 1990s television series, now available on DVD.
The Wycliffe Novels

The first five novels in the classic Wycliffe crime series are collected in this
omnibus—each characteristically taut, satisfying, and cleverly stitched into
an atmospheric Cornish backdrop
In Wycliffe and the Three-Toed Pussy, a case involving a dead woman with a
deformed foot and a mysterious past requires Superintendent Wycliffe’s in-
vestigative skills. Wycliffe and How to Kill a Cat finds Wycliffe on the case of
a mutilated murder victim in which there are too many suspects, too many mo-
tives, and too many lies. A family feud leads to murder in Wycliffe and the Guilt-
Edged Alibi. In Wycliffe and Death in a Salubrious Place, when a brutal murder
is uncovered on the beautiful, tranquil Scilly Isles, Superintendent Wycliffe must
dig beneath the calm surface of the community. As Wycliffe and Death in Stan-
ley Street begins, a young woman is found dead in a house on Stanley Street—
but that’s just the start of a complex puzzle which Wycliffe must unravel.

Unashamedly gritty, rough-edged, violent, and sexy—another heart-pound-
ing Daisy Lane gangland saga
Daisy Lane has finally found some measure of happiness—her nightclub is bring-
ing in money, helped by her connections to notorious gangster Roy Kemp, and
her children seem to be thriving. But Daisy’s fortunes take a spectacular fall
when Roy moves his criminal empire to London. Roy’s frequent presence in
Daisy’s club gave the place an air of glamour—and danger. Without him, the
customers disappear, leaving Daisy struggling to make ends meet and keep her
family together. Daisy takes some comfort in the fact that her son, Eddie, is
growing up to be as courageous as his late father was, but her younger son,
Jamie, is a different story—deeply disturbed, sadistic in nature, and capable of
brutal violence. Can Eddie prevent his brother‘s behavior from spiraling fa-
tally out of control? Meanwhile, there’s a killer at work—a handsome Italian
who preys on lonely women, taking all they have, and then leaving them for
dead. Daisy takes it upon herself to have him apprehended—with devastating
consequences.

tery revealing the sinister side of a much-treasured city
Chief Superintendent Michele Ferrara knows that the beautiful surface of his adopted city,
Florence, hides dark undercurrents. When called in to investigate a series of brutal and ap-

ried by the media, Ferrara finds time running out as the questions pile up: Is there a connection
between the murders and the threatening letters he has received? Are his old enemies, the Cal-
abrian Mafia, involved? What parts are played by a beautiful young woman facing a heartrend-
ing decision, a priest troubled by a secret from his past, and an American journalist fascinated

A Death in Tuscany
Personal clashes with professional for Michele Ferrara in the second book in the series
of compelling and authentic Italian police procedurals
In the picturesque Tuscan hill town of Scandicci, the body of a girl is discovered, scantily
dressed and lying by the edge of the woods. After a week the local police investigating the
case haven’t even identified her, let alone gotten to the bottom of how she died. Frustrated
by the lack of progress, Chief Superintendent Michele Ferrara, head of Florence’s elite Squadra
Mobile, decides to step in. Because toxins were discovered in the girl’s body, many assumed
that she died of a self-inflicted drug overdose, but Ferrara quickly realizes that the truth
is darker than that: he believes that the girl was murdered. When he delves deeper, there
are many aspects to the case that convince Ferrara that the girl’s death is part of a sinis-
ter conspiracy—a conspiracy that has its roots in the very foundations of Tuscan society.

Alamein
The Turning Point of World War Two
Iain Gale
Superb war novelist Iain Gale moves into World War II, telling the story of the 11 days
that would change the course of history
“A powerful novel of men at war. A triumph.” —Bernard Cornwell on Four Days

in June
There are some battles that change the course of history: Alamein is one of those. In Octo-
ber 1942, Britain and its allies were in trouble. Germany and its Axis partners were win-
ning ground in Europe, Russia, and the Atlantic, and they were poised to take the Suez Canal.
But it was in this North Africa battle that the tide of World War II began to turn. Rommel
and Montgomery led their men through an extraordinary 11-day battle, in unforgiving ter-
rain, amid the swirling sandstorms and the desert winds. Iain Gale tells this dramatic story
through seven dynamic characters, many of whom are based on real people. Drawn from
both sides of the conflict, they include a major from a Scottish brigade, a young lieutenant
in the thick of the tank battle, an Australian sergeant, and a charismatic Italian commander
of a parachute battalion. Through their eyes we see the battle unfold; the strategy, the in-
dividual actions and skirmishes, the fear, the determination, and the extraordinary courage
on both sides.
Iain Gale is the editor of the magazine of the National Trust for Scotland and the author of
Four Days in June and the Jack Steel series, which includes Man of Honour and Rules of War.

The Black Jackals

Iain Gale
The start of a new WWII series from Iain Gale, portraying heroism, with vivid action
and stirring personal journeys
A small team of soldiers, left behind to cover the British retreat, are ordered to blow the
bridge as late as possible to stem the German tank pursuit. Although successful, the oper-
ation kills desperate refugees fleeing the scene. Who will be made to face the court-martial:
the men carrying out the orders or their commanding officer? This is only the first of many
dilemmas that Peter Lamb and his troops must face during the chaotic first months of World
War II. After being cut off from the rest of their regiment, and assigned a mission that takes
them deep into France behind the fast-moving enemy lines, the cracks begin to appear. In
these unexpected, tense circumstances, Lamb’s men face internal struggles, taking their focus
off both their French allies and the German enemy.
Iain Gale is the editor of the magazine of the National Trust for Scotland and the author

“Captures the mood of the era—a gin-soaked mix of relief, ennui, and uncertainty—with unfailing
accuracy. . . . Monroe does a nice job with the doomed Cold War romance, evoking Sebastian Faulks’
similar On Green Dolphin Street.” —Booklist on Washington Shadow
“Will remind many of le Carré . . . her hero is a refreshing change from the usual two-fisted,
bed-hopping stereotype.” —Publishers Weekly on Washington Shadow
“It’s really quite wonderful.” —Linda Fairstein, bestselling author, on The Maze of Cadiz

Icelight
The third in this series of intelligent, moody, Robert Harris-meets-
Graham Greene spy novels examines the anti-gay witchhunts of the 1940s
In 1947, as threadbare London endures the bleakest, coldest winter for decades,
food rationing is worse than during the war coal supplies run out, and the
Thames freezes over. Against this background of black ice, blackouts, and the
black market, agent Peter Cotton is seconded to Operation Sea-snake. MI5 is
in the grip of civil war while MI6 is riddled with traitors. Unsure who to trust—
or even who is pulling the strings—Cotton, ever the outsider, must protect an
atomic scientist caught up in a vicious homophobic witchhunt, limit the dam-
age caused by a bullying member of parliament, rely on a rent-boy informer.
Despite the murderous attentions of a couple of Glasgow razor boys—gang
members named for their weapons of choice—Cotton embarks on a ruthless
hunt of his own.

CLIFF HARDY SERIES
Peter Corris
“Fine entertainment, and Corris, the “Godfather of Australian crime fiction,” is a splendid storyteller. . . . Corris
belongs on the short lists of hard-boiled crime fans who like Down Under settings.” —Booklist
Peter Corris is best known as the father of Australian crime fiction and the author of Cliff Hardy detective stories. He is
also the author of A Round of Golf: 18 Holes with Peter Corris and the coauthor of Fred Hollows: An Autobiography.
Torn Apart
He’s semiretired and delicensed, but Cliff Hardy is once again fighting for justice
and tracking down evil when his cousin is brutally murdered. Did the shotgun blast
find its target, or was it meant for Hardy?
Hardy has never been much of a family man, so when he meets his second cousin Patrick
Malloy it’s like being hit with a left hook to the solar plexus—Malloy is his double. Cliff
and his cousin become friends and travel to attend a gathering of the Irish Travellers, the
gypsy-like folk from whom they are descended. On their return, Malloy is brutally mur-
dered—but perhaps the shotgun blast was intended for Hardy. He is semiretired, but this
investigation is personal. The plot becomes still more personal when Malloy’s ex-wife,
Sheila, comes onto the scene. Hardy has his own enemies and Malloy’s to consider as he
searches for the killer. Clues point in many directions—to Sheila’s motives, to Malloy’s
suspect business dealings, and to his time as a mercenary in Angola. The search takes Hardy
north to a paramilitary training camp and south to a meeting of Traveller descendants
in Kangaroo Valley. Other players have other interests and their playing style is ruthless.

ple. Now she must keep her wits about her and try to find Harry, or it could prove fatal.
464 pp • 9780007349395 • January
Excerpt:
Gracie loved the late-night casino world; the ping and tinkle of the slots as players ‘comped'
with free booze and soft drinks chanced their luck; the intense concentration of the high-stakes
punters as the gold-liveried croupiers scooped up their brightly-coloured plastic chips and
positioned them on this number or that, then spun the roulette wheel. Their howling yells of
triumph when they won; their disappointment when they lost—and usually they did lose—but
always, always, they came back to try and beat the house again.
Someone really ought to tell them it was impossible.
This place was Gracie’s life. She loved it all. Let the punters gamble, that was fine; but she
played things straight down the line, paid her taxed, ran a good business.
So why the cops?
She quickly slid her feet back into her black high-heeled patent leather shoes and stood up,
rising to her full six feet. She smoothed down her navy pinstriped skirt suit, straightened her
open-necked cream shirt, ran a hand briefly over the dark red plait of hair that hung, thick as
knotted rope, down over her shoulder. Assembled herself. Took a breath.
“I’m Gracie Doyle,” she said, planting her hands on the desk. “How can I help?”
“I’m afraid there’s bad news, Miss Doyle.”

After the Fire

From the author of The Twilight Time comes a chilling glimpse of the flipside of life as
a law enforcer
“Searing . . . Campbell deftly explores the horrifying repercussions of a botched inves-

tigation and a miscarriage of justice.” —Publishers Weekly
“It’s difficult to convey precisely what makes reading After the Fire so gripping. . . .
Bigger than the sum of its parts, and transcending its thriller label, this is a canvas of
human nature, of “finding grace in tiny things”, of love and loss and heartbreak and
how ordinary people recover after the fire.” —Scotland on Sunday
“Someone is dead because of Jamie. Yesterday they were alive. When we woke up yester-
day and argued about how many pairs of shoes I could take, that person was alive, mak-
ing coffee maybe. Scratching her arm or yawning in the mirror . . . ”
Newly qualified as a firearms officer, Jamie Worth is called to a domestic disturbance. Events
get out of hand, and Jamie shoots and kills a teenaged girl who appears to have been un-
armed. Already wracked with guilt, he is horrified when, with the media baying for blood,
he is accused of murder. When he suddenly finds himself on the wrong side of the law, how
can a cop survive in prison? And how can his wife Cath and ex-lover Anna come to terms

Shadowplay
In Karen Campbell’s third acclaimed thriller, Anna Cameron’s gotten a promotion, but
it’s not necessarily a change for the better
“Karen Campbell deserves to be admitted to membership of what’s becoming a very

large club—Scottish crime writers of excellence. . . . As to be expected from a former
police officer, Campbell portrays her milieu with harsh authenticity, and Anna
Cameron is wholly believable in her unheroic role. Glasgow and its citizens are de-
scribed with vivid passion.” —Times
“Campbell has established herself as the new face in the Scottish crime-writing scene
. . . could quite easily stand outside the crime fiction genre. . . . When her debut The
Twilight Time was published in 2008, she was heralded as a major new talent with
huge potential. What she has done in Shadowplay is prove that that assessment was
absolutely on the money.” —Scotsman
When Anna Cameron is promoted to chief inspector and moved to a new division, it should
be a turning point for her. But if she thought having a female boss would make things eas-
ier, she’d not reckoned on the fearsome “JC” Hamilton. When her mother goes into a coma
in a foreign country and an old woman disappears from a Glasgow care home under sus-
picious circumstances, Anna’s career and personal life both threaten to implode. The gang-
related murder of a young Asian boy and an assault on one of her officers only serve to
turn the screws tighter—can Anna be both a good cop and a good person?

The gripping new crime novel from a former police officer with stiletto-sharp prose

with images.” —Kate Atkinson, author, Case Histories, on The Twilight Time
Bernie gripped her tighter, blunt nails digging crescents through her flesh.
‘Please,’ Mary wept. ‘You’re hurting me.’
Bernie’s voice took on the clarity of silver knives. No muddled diction, no slurred slang. ‘You

you, Mary. Do you understand me? I will kill you.’
Chief Inspector Anna Cameron is a woman with everything to lose. Her life is finally back
on track, but the mistakes she made in the past are about to come back to haunt her. When
a body is discovered in a Glasgow canal, the death proves to have an un-

Switching between 1936 and 2004, this fiendishly plotted international thriller about miss-
ing Spanish gold is full of double agents and deception
“A barnstorming tale of international espionage . . . will be a huge hit for fans of the
modern spymasters such as Alex Berenson and Robert Ludlum.” —crimesquad.com
In 1936, as General Franco’s Nationalists march on Madrid in the early stages of the Span-
ish Civil War, the Republican government authorizes the evacuation of the country’s gold
reserves. Leaving Cartagena for Russia, 7,900 crates of gold are shipped—but only 7,800
arrive. The hundred missing boxes, if found today, would be worth more than $200 mil-
lion. In 2004, Jack Hadley, a British visiting professor at the University of Salamanca; his
girlfriend, Mercedes; and the enigmatic civil servant Rosa Uribe have been arrested on drug
charges in the wake of an evening’s excessive partying. Hadley is facing prison, disgrace,
and possibly the end of his career, until the Spanish Secret Service offer him a surprising re-
prieve. Hadley is about to visit Cuba to interview the reclusive revolutionary Jesús Florin—
better known as the “The Aztec.” The Spanish intelligence chief believes Florin knows the
location of the missing gold and coerces Hadley into his service.
Bill Vidal is the author of The Clayton Account.

Tattoo
Bryan Boswell
A hard-core thriller debut with the action of a Bourne and the gore of a Thomas Harris
“Boswell’s compelling debut is a dark, twisted explosion of terror.” —Daily Record

“An excellent debut. . . . These kind of novels are often a well-worn path for authors
and readers alike, yet Boswell has created such a compact and pacy story that the reader
is happy to tread a somewhat familiar route before being swept away by an avalanche
of twists which take the tale off the unknown path and into the murky undergrowth.”
—Crimesquad.com
Two years ago, SAS hard man Simon Tabor got away with murder. Tabor prefers to call it
retribution—retribution for the brutal rape and killing of his younger sister in a brothel on
the Costa Del Sol. Now he has been unofficially drafted in by the Met police to help in a new
murder enquiry. A young girl has washed up on an English beach with an intricate orchid tat-
tooed on her groin—a similar design to one discovered on his dead sister. As Romanian brothel
owners are ritually massacred around Britain, while in Spain millionaire orchid expert Dr.
Felix Blake nears the end of a sinister experiment in bioengineering, Tabor begins to see a
pattern emerging. The pattern’s key is the tattoo—one that marks the death of mankind as
we know it.
Bryan Boswell is a journalist and former editor of the Australian and the Sydney Daily Tele-
graph. He lived in Washington and London as an international political and war correspon-
dent, covering major events from Reagan/Bush/Gorbachev summits to G7 meetings, general
elections all over the world, U.S. presidential campaigns and other conflicts from 1972 until
the end of the first Gulf War.

The 39 Steps
John Buchan
Introduction by Toby Buchan
An elegantly produced new edition of the first modern spy thriller, originally published
in 1915 and continuously in print ever since
One of the most exciting “chase thrillers” ever published, and a huge influence not only on
spy fiction, but also on Hollywood—the novel formed the basis for a number of film adap-
tations, notably Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 version—The 39 Steps is a book that has captured
the imagination of audiences for decades. Credited for its exciting and twist-filled plot as
well as for the brilliance of its writing and its contemporary feel, it is the first of five nov-
els featuring Richard Hannay, an all-action hero with a steely determination and an ex-
traordinary knack for getting himself out of sticky situations. He is the original, archetypal
“man-on-the-run” character, which has been a staple in literature and film. The novel charts
the electrifying story of an ordinary man caught up in a sinister international plot. Repack-
aged as a striking hardback, it is an edition to be cherished by any fan of the book, or any-
one just discovering Buchan’s work.
John Buchan led an interesting and varied life as a statesman, barrister, journalist, intelligence
officer, member of parliament, historian, biographer, poet, and novelist. His work was a con-
siderable influence on other novelists, including Graham Greene, Ian Fleming, and John le
Carré. He is the author of Castle Gay, Greenmantle, A History of the Great War, and A Lost
Lady of Old Years, among others. Toby Buchan is John Buchan’s grandson.

Timoleon Vieta Come Home
In a room above a bizarre German museum, far from the prying eyes of strangers, lives the
Old Man. Caretaker of the museum by day, by night he enjoys the sound of silence, broken
by the occasional crunch of a spider between his blackened teeth. The Old Man, the respectable
Doctor Ernst Frohlicher, his greedy dog Hans, and a cast of grotesque and hilarious towns-
folk all find their lives thrown together as they uncover a crime so outrageous that it will shock the world. From its sinister
opening to its explosive denouement, this dark tale blends lavishly entertaining storytelling with Rhodes’s macabre imagina-
tion, entrancing originality, and magical touch.
Dan Rhodes is the author of Anthropology, Don’t Tell Me the Truth About Love, Gold, and Timoleon Vieta Come Home, which
was included in Barnes & Noble’s Discover New Writers program. He was the winner of the 2010 E. M. Forster Awards, an an-
nual award given to an Irish or British writer by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to fund a period of travel in the

Apology for the Woman Writing

Jenny Diski
A critically acclaimed, highly original writer brings a little-known tale of literary history
elegantly to life, in this arresting story of a bizarre and uncompromising woman
“Not only illuminates an undeservedly little-known episode of literary history, it also

demonstrates a rare subtlety and sense of moral ambiguity of restrained devotion trans-
formed by the writer’s incisive eye, into art.” —Times
“Diski has cleverly adapted the historical sources to fashion an exceedingly literary
novel . . . Diski’s cool, modulated prose exhibits the moderation so prized by Mon-
taigne.” —Independent
“A fascinating story, which Diski brings vividly to life. . . . After finishing the novel, any-
one who hasn’t read Montaigne will wish to head for the classics section of the nearest
bookshop.” —Daily Mail
Marie de Gournay was 18 when she read, and was overwhelmed by, the essays of the French
philosopher Montaigne. She had to be revived with hellebore. When she finally met Montaigne,
she stabbed herself with a hairpin until the blood ran in order to show her devotion. He made
her his adopted daughter for the two months they knew each other. He died four years later,
after which, though scorned by intellectuals, she became his editor. Jenny Diski engages with this passionate and confused re-
lationship between “father and daughter,” old writer and young acolyte, possible lovers, using both their voices. Much of their
story is about absence of the people they love; in Jenny Diski’s hands it becomes a fascinating tale.
Jenny Diski is a highly acclaimed author whose titles include After These Things; The Sixties; Skating to Antarctica, which was
short-listed for the Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize for Non-Fiction; and Stranger on a Train: Daydreaming and Smoking Around
America with Interruptions, which won the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. She is a regular contributor to the London Re-
view of Books.

Lying in Bed
Polly Samson
From the author of the acclaimed Perfect Lives, a collection of short sto-
ries about vengeful wives, jealous husbands, femme fatales, reluctant fiancees,
daddy’s girls, secretive nannies, and worldly children
“Astutely observed linked stories reveal the pleasures, temptations, se-

crets, and disappointments of lovers, parents, and children in an English
seaside town.” —O magazine, on Perfect Lives
“A thoughtful, riveting collection of intertwined stories of love, loss, and
keeping up appearances.” —Harper’s Bazaar on Perfect Lives
“One wishes, at times, for more narrative reward, but Samson’s dreamy,
evocative prose quietly offers its own.” —Entertainment Weekly on
Perfect Lives
Do you cover up or reveal it all, seek revenge or just reassurance, let the truth
be naked as the day or cloaked in a nighttime story? The men and women of
Polly Samson’s debut fiction all have stories to tell, pasts to forget, and futures
to forge. Manipulative or meek, used or using, all are aware of the power of
truth, deception, and little white lies to get what they want or sometimes what
they deserve. Some stories here are concerned with the economies of speech,
those little “kindnesses” which protect our loved ones but really ourselves; some
investigate the warped logic which adults serve out to children to keep them
“innocent;” all are concerned with the beds we make and the lies we tell in them.
Polly Samson is the author of Out of the Picture and Perfect Lives. She cowrites
lyrics with her husband David Gilmour for his band Pink Floyd.

Excerpt:
I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in my life. That’s what
I want to say, but instead I tell you that it is your turn to be dealer.
These days, I have a terror of letting you see how much I need you.
Superstition makes me feel it would be foolhardy to declare my hand.
Besides, it has been one of those days. Earlier, when I awoke poisoned
by a dream and alone, I studied our wedding photograph. Looking
at it didn’t make me spit fire (as occasionally it does) nor sigh with
happiness (as often it does). Instead, when I saw the picture, framed
in antique silver, our faces creased and mouths roaring with laugh-
ter, I just felt an unutterable sadness.

LANGANI TRILOGY
“An epic of blood feuds, murder, betrayal, love, loss, forgiveness, and redemption, this is as atmospheric
as sitting on a veranda with a gin and tonic, watching the African sunset. You’ll feel a twinge of regret
when there are no more pages to turn.” —Times on A Durable Fire
“A tremendously accomplished, full-throated saga delivering romance, betrayal, murder, and mayhem.
. . . The kind of book you have to read by torchlight under the bedclothes after lights out.”
—Daily Mail on Blood Sisters
In Borrowed Light
Barbara Keating and Stephanie Keating
The final part of the Langani Trilogy is a breathtaking story of friendship
and love set against the backdrop of 20th-century Kenya
Fourteen years after independence, the enduring childhood friendship of three
women has carried them through times of violence and loss in their chosen
homeland. Hannah Olsen and her husband Lars own Langani Farm and Sa-
fari Lodge where they struggle to protect their wildlife and land from poach-
ers and corrupt officials—but the developing relationship between their daughter
and a young African boy with a terrifying legacy tests the strength of their
family. Sarah Singh, wildlife researcher and renowned photographer, is mar-
ried to an Indian journalist; however, their inability to have children puts Sarah’s
relationship with her husband and his family under increasing pressure. Camilla
Broughton Smith, international model and fashion designer, has given up a
dazzling career to work with the charismatic safari guide Anthony Chapman,
who has been disabled in a tragic accident, yet his bitterness and fear of com-
mitment threaten to shatter her dreams. Set in the magnificent but unpredictable
wilds of Kenya, this is a story of courage and fortitude, of loyalty and mur-
derous deceit, of friendship and betrayal, and redeeming sacrifice.
Barbara and Stephanie Keating grew up in Kenya. One sister now lives in France
and the other in Dublin. They are coauthors of the acclaimed novels Blood Sis-
ters and A Durable Fire, which, along with In Borrowed Light, make up the

After her husband’s tragic death, Gemma Sinclair is left with the daunting task of man-
aging the vast farm he’s bequeathed her—but did she ever really know him? This heart
wrenching outback saga is the inspirational story of a woman doing her best to defy
the odds and triumph over adversity.
“An easy mix of mystery, betrayal, and romance.” —Australian Woman’s Day
After the death of her husband, Adam, in an horrific plane crash, Gemma Sinclair defies
community expectations—and Adam’s dying words—by deciding to hang on to Billbinya,
the 10,000-hectare farm he bequeathed to her. As if Gemma’s grief and the job of look-
ing after Billbinya aren’t enough, a rumor sweeps the community that Adam’s plane crash
was no accident. Police officers visit Gemma and tell her Adam’s death was almost cer-
tainly related to his involvement in a cattle and sheep duffing ring—and Gemma is in-
directly implicated because Billbinya was used as the holding station for the stolen stock.
As Gemma sets out to get to the bottom of what Adam was doing, she’s stunned at the
depths of her husband’s wrongdoing and shocked at the identities of his criminal asso-
ciates. Struggling to put the past behind her, Gemma wonders if she’ll ever be able to
love again.

The Oligarch’s Wife
Anna Blundy
A wonderfully rich and vibrant story of one of Russia’s post-Communist Oligarchs—and
the two women who marry him—from impoverished boyhood, through unimaginable power
and wealth, to the moment when he finally overreaches himself
“A drop of the hard stuff, administered tenderly by someone who’s obviously been
there.” —Christopher Hitchens on Neat Vodka
On the freezing, grimy streets of Kirgask in Russia, a girl dreams of escape. Katya’s beauty is
her passport to a life beyond the wildest of those dreams. Pavel Ivanchenko, selling illegal vodka
to support his family, knows that he’ll make a better life than most—but cannot guess that he
will become one of the richest men in the world. And in England, Mo joins a school trip to
Moscow, little thinking that a chance meeting with Katya and Pavel will be the defining mo-
ment of her life—for she and Katya will first become friends, then rivals for the oligarch’s heart,
and finally, allies who must bring him down. From Moscow to London and the French Riv-
iera, back to St. Petersburg, from the grinding boredom of extreme poverty to the surreal stage
sets of fabulous wealth, the story leads us deep into the heart of an unknown and fascinating
world, with a larger-than-life man—part hero, part villain—at its center.
Anna Blundy is a former Moscow correspondent for the Times and has lived and worked in Russia doing a variety of jobs, from
singing in a blues band in the early 1990s and making coffee for the ABC News Bureau, to interviewing Mikhail Gorbachev
live on Russian radio in 1998. She has worked as a CNN correspondent, is a regular guest on ABC’s World View from London,
and is the author of a series of novels about war correspondent Faith Zanetti, which includes The Bad News Bible.

The Hundred Days

Joseph Roth
In the first English edition in 70 years of a lost classic by one of the great 20th century
writers, Napoleon is seen from the point of view of a woman with whom his life is qui-
etly intermingled
The story of Napoleon’s last snatch at glory is framed through the eyes of both Bonaparte
and his infatuated young laundress named Angelina—with rather more said by her about
the Emperor’s dirty handkerchiefs than the Duke of Wellington. It provides an arch and yet
moving look at Napoleon’s seemingly triumphant return to Paris from exile in March 1815.
Before 100 days have elapsed, fate and war have crushed Napoleon’s ambitions and the ro-
mantic dreams of his maid. Out of print in English for 70 years, this is a unique and unfor-
gettable work, pitching Napoleon out of Olympian Heights and sending him crashing down
to earth, leaving a devoted young lover trailing in his wake.
Joseph Roth (1894–1939) was an Austrian novelist best known for his family saga Radet-
zky March and for his novel of Jewish life, Job. He fought in the Austrian army in World
War I, and worked as a novelist and journalist in Frankfurt, becoming a leading Jewish in-
tellectual of the era. With the rise of Nazism, he lived the rest of his life in exile.

Books Burn Badly
Manuel Rivas
A masterpiece of unusual beauty by one of Europe’s greatest living writers—a brilliant
evocation of the Spanish Civil War
“It’s time for reviewers and sundry pundits to quit the flattering comparisons with
Lorca, Joyce, and Garcia Marquez. Manuel Rivas reads like no one else on the planet
. . . one of those novels to lavish on friends. . . . Manuel Rivas’ sweeping novel, trans-
lated into English for the first time, is an undoubted classic.” —Scotsman
“A novelistic tour-de-force . . . hauntingly poetic use of language and light touch . . .
Rivas never loses faith in the human ability to overcome the bleakest of situations.”
—Irish Times
“An important storyteller. . . . He is sensitive and has an incredible ear, which, in his
fiction, is allied to great ingenuity.” —John Berger, author, Ways of Seeing, on The
Carpenter’s Pencil
On August 19, 1936, Hercules the boxer stands on the quayside at Coruña and watches
Fascist soldiers piling up books and setting them alight. With this moment a young, care-
free group of friends is transformed into a broken generation. Out of this incident dur-
ing the early months of Spain’s tragic civil war, Manuel Rivas weaves a colorful tapestry of stories and unforgettable charac-
ters to create a panorama of 20th-century Spanish history—for it is not only the lives of Hercules the boxer and his friends that
are tainted by the unending conflict, but also those of a young washerwoman who sees souls in the clouded river water and the
stammering son of a judge who uncovers his father’s hidden library. As the singed pages fly away on the breeze, their stories
live on in the minds of their readers.
Manuel Rivas writes in the Galician language of northwest Spain. A founding member of Greenpeace Spain, he is a major fig-
ure in Spanish literature, known for his journalism, as well as for his prizewinning short stories and novels, which include the
internationally acclaimed The Carpenter’s Pencil. His works have been translated into 20 languages.
The House of Dust and Dreams

Brenda Reid
In the vein of Victoria Hislop and Julia Gregson, this engrossing and poignant debut con-
jures up a Cretan village peopled with vivid characters, a wealth of fascinating historical
detail, and amazing stories
A young British diplomat and his wife have been posted to Athens. Hugh loves the life there
but his spirited and unconventional wife, Evadne, finds it hard to fit into the whirl of end-
less parties and socializing. When Hugh is sent to Crete to sort out a problem and they stay
in a rundown house owned by his family, his wife falls in love with the place and the peo-
ple, and stays on when Hugh returns to his duties. As she tries to rebuild the ramshackle home,
Evadne—known as Heavenly by the locals—makes firm friends with Anthi, a young woman
from the village, and Christo, the handsome and charismatic young builder. But the dark clouds
of war are gathering and the island will become a crucible of violence and bloodshed in the
days to come. For Heavenly and her friends and family, it will be the greatest test they have
ever known. Warm, atmospheric descriptions of Crete combine with a shocking story of heroic
resistance and cruel betrayal that has been little covered in novels of WWII.
Brenda Reid is an award-winning television producer who lives part of the time in Crete.

A Different Sky
Meira Chand
A dazzling, sweeping novel telling the history of Singapore through the moving stories
of three families whose lives become intertwined
“Chand is a skilled storyteller and a conscientious researcher who weaves gripping

adventure, magnificent romance, and well-informed history into the sort of book
[that’s] difficult to put down and impossible to read in bed if you want a good night’s
sleep!” —Historic Novels Review
“This meticulously researched book is alive with engrossing detail, whether on the
odor of Chinatown, the privations of a guerilla camp or the appalling rituals of foot
binding.” —Guardian
“Historical fiction at its most complex and engaging . . . balances the communist
groupings, Japanese occupation, and emerging nationalism with skill . . . As history
A Different Sky is engrossing, as fiction, highly enjoyable.” —Literary Review
Singapore is a trading post where different lives jostle and mix. It is 1927, and three young
people are starting to question whether this in-between island can ever truly be their home.
Mei Lan comes from a famous Chinese dynasty but yearns to free herself from its stifling
traditions; 10-year-old Howard seethes at the indignities heaped on his fellow Eurasians
by the colonial British; Raj, fresh off the boat from India, wants only to work hard and be-
come a successful businessman. As the years pass and World War II sweeps through the east
with the Japanese occupying Singapore, the three are thrown together in unexpected ways
and tested to breaking point. Richly evocative, this novel paints a scintillating panorama
of 30 tumultuous years in Singapore’s history through the passions and struggles of char-
acters the reader will find it hard to forget.
Meira Chand is the author of several novels, including A Far Horizon.

The Journey of Anders Sparrman
Per Wästberg
From the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature comes an en-
thralling, highly acclaimed novel based on the life of one of the early botanist-
explorers, combining intellectual precision with emotional power
“What can one say about a work of literature unlike any one has read be-
fore? In a long life of reading I have never encountered anything quite
like this sweepingly original symbiosis of scientific knowledge and curios-
ity, sensuality, narrative of human ethos and personality, research into
form and significance of nature, written with thrilling grace.” —Nadine
Gordimer, Nobel Prize in Literature recipient
“A subtle, breathtaking achievement. As historical fiction it effortlessly
and magisterially prises open worlds unknown. As prose it achieves a lu-
minosity and precision that is the true domain of poetry.” —Times
“In this absorbing fusion of biography and imagination, Per Wästberg has
movingly taken us inside the head of a remarkable man. . . . As a reader
I’m grateful for his discovery of Anders Sparrman; as a writer, I envy it.”
—Adam Hochschild, author, King Leopold’s Ghost
Set between the end of the Enlightenment and the dawn of Romanticism, this
haunting novel is based on the life of Anders Sparrman, the 18th-century nat-
uralist and disciple of the scientist Carl Linnaeus. Despite humble beginnings,
in his quest for new animal and plant specimens Sparrman sailed to China at
age 17, joined Captain Cook on his second voyage to Antarctica and Tahiti,
and later made an unprecedented journey on foot into the South African inte-
rior. Wästberg uses his own extensive knowledge of South Africa and Sweden
to create a strange, almost mystical narrative that weaves passages from Sparrman’s letters and journals into his own spare prose.
As he follows Sparrman from innocent student to skeptical adventurer to dedicated botanist to militant abolitionist, he evokes
the beauty of the Swedish countryside, the squalid conditions on board ship, the dangers and geographical wonders of Africa,
and, finally, the late flowering passion that overtakes Sparrman’s life.
Per Wästberg is the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature. He founded the Swedish Section of Amnesty International
in 1963, and was deeply involved in the antiapartheid struggle in South Africa. From 1976 to 1982 he was the editor of Swe-
den’s largest daily newspaper, Dagens Nyheter and was president of International PEN from 1979 to 1986. He is the author of
50 publications, including novels, poetry, essays, and works on African politics and literature.

ing is utterly compelling and expresses what it is like to be deaf—especially when you’re
also young and reckless—in a way I have never read or understood before.” —Observer
Louise Stern’s stories are peopled with brave young girls out to party, travel the world, and
go a little bit wild. The one thing that marks them out from their peers is that they have grown
up deaf. They communicate with the outside world via a complicated mixture of sign lan-
guage, lip-reading, note-scribbling, guesswork, and instinct; yet they are full of daring, ready
for adventures that take them into unfamiliar places and strange, cockeyed relationships with
people whose actions they observe but never wholly understand. It is this sense of disloca-
tion from common experience that marks out Stern’s original voice. She is fully engaged in
the world most readers will recognize and share, but the way she observes it sets her apart—
these vivid tales are all startlingly new.
Louise Stern grew up in Freemont, California, the fourth generation deaf in her family, and
now lives in London. She is an artist who works for Sam Taylor-Wood, and the founder and
publisher of Maurice, a contemporary art magazine for children.

rooned by a lack of education and a lack of anything else better to do, Will, a.k.a. “Flick,”

the new girl in town is just so much hotter than all the familiar slutty girls—or slappers

bow, the new girl in town, develops, Flick finds himself torn between the constraints and
loyalty he feels to his old life and the pull of freedom that Rainbow represents.

The Go-Away Bird
Warren FitzGerald
A little girl who was a witness to genocide and a middle-aged man with a violent past of
his own meet in this powerful, heartrending story of friendship and love
“FitzGerald writes about Africa vividly, painting interior scenes and green tropical land-
scapes that jump out of the page. He may do for Rwanda something of what Alexander
McCall Smith’s lady detective series has done for Botswana . . . a funny, musical, hope-
ful, and poignant story.” —Cape Times
“It is hard to believe this is Warren FitzGerald’s first novel, so sure is his hand and so
powerful the book.” —Mail & Guardian
This is a story about me, Clementine, and my friends: a panther called Levi, a pelican called Lola
and a turtle called Jimmy. It is about dragons and goblins, my Daddy the King, my Mummy the
Queen and Prince Pio my brother. At least that is the way I tell it sometimes when thoughts of
the blood, the machetes, the swamp and the fear of Uncle Leonard become too hard to describe.
But that was all before I met Ashley, wonderful Ashley. Not that he would ever call himself
wonderful in a million years. When he tells you his story you will see what I mean.
Ashley Bolt is a middle-aged loner for whom teaching singing is the only escape from his Lon-
don life. In an attempt to forget a violent past he turns to self-harming, but this provides little comfort. Clementine Habimana
is a Rwandan child refugee who witnessed the 1994 genocide firsthand and lived to tell her story. Delivered into the hands of
an abusive uncle in England, Clementine remains undeterred in her hope for a brighter future. When their two worlds collide,
nothing is ever the same again.
Warren FitzGerald has undertaken several voluntary projects overseas including building a health center in Kibungo, Rwanda.

The Last Kestrel

Jill McGivering
Two strong women from two cultures find one unifying cause—survival, in a veteran
jouranalist’s fiction debut that will resonate with fans of The Bookseller of Kabul and
The Kite Runner
“A moving, compassionate and impressive first novel which fans of The Kite Runner
will love.” —Daily Mail
“With an impeccable BBC pedigree, Jill McGivering is better placed than most other
writers to give difficult stories about the realities of wartorn Afghanistan authenticity
and immediacy.” —Yorkshire Post

mand Province on assignment, determined to find the murderer of her friend and transla-
tor, Jalil. In her search for justice in a land ravaged by death and destruction, she uncovers

lage which is taken by British Forces. Her only son, Aref, is part of a network of under-
ground fighters and she is determined to protect him, whatever the cost. Ellen and Hasina
are thrown together—one fighting for survival, the other searching for truth—with devas-
tating consequences for them both. This is a deeply moving and lyrical story of disparate
lives—innocent and not-so-innocent—caught up in the horrors of war.
Jill McGivering has worked in journalism for 25 years and is currently a senior foreign news
correspondent with the BBC having previously held the position of South Asia Correspon-
dent. This is her first novel.

The Swansong of Wilbur McCrum
Bronia Kita
A dazzling and inventive first novel set in gold rush–era America, this is the warm and
witty tale of an accidental outlaw trying to make his way in the world
“Few first novels have employed imaginative freedom and picaresque invention with
such aplomb.” —Waterstone’s Books Quarterly
The sky was as black as an undertaker’s boot and a wind from the east had blown grit in
my eyes the afternoon I was shot and went head first into the well outside the saloon. I re-
member the icy smack of the water; and how the women’s skirts I was wearing put up a
fight and floated for a minute before the water got the better of them and they sank, tak-
ing me down with them.
Wilbur McCrum has always been a drifter. Abandoned by his parents, one after the other,
and subsequently passed from pillar to post, he was still a young lad when he first took to
the road, and somehow he’s never settled anywhere since. When he meets Ida May, how-
ever, that looks set to change: finally, Wilbur’s dream of making a home, a family, and a fu-
ture for himself, looks set to become reality. But fate’s a funny old thing, and Wilbur never
has had much luck. This wonderfully warm and energetic debut features a highly original
voice and a truly unforgettable main character.
Bronia Kita won the Mail on Sunday Novel Competition in 2000, and The Swansong of
Wilbur McCrum is her first novel.

Dr Ragab’s Universal Language

Robert Twigger
Clever, funny, and thought-provoking, this quirky tale about the power of the mind is both
larger than life and beyond belief, it is, like Dr. R himself, impossible to pin down—or, in-
deed, to put down
“Mixes Paulo Coehlo with The English Patient. An unlikely combination but, magically,
it works.” —Financial Times
“Absurdly entertaining . . . Coehlo springs to mind, but also Denis Diderot, Jonathan
Swift, or Herman Hesse.” —Guardian
Charlatan, guru, master of disguise, a simple opportunist or the great pretender—however
one chooses to see him, one fact is certain: Dr. Ragab is a mysterious man. Talked about by
everyone in 1920s Cairo, only a few get the chance to make his acquaintance, and fewer still—
one person, in fact—get to study his life lessons. Hertwig is that lucky soul—or not so lucky,
perhaps, not when he finds himself, at the very end of the World War II, imprisoned in a bunker
by a gang of thugs. And yet there is a possible way out. Not in the conventional sense, it’s
true, but when you’re holed up several feet underground, unsure of how long your captors
plan to keep you alive, convention isn’t necessarily a good thing, as Dr. Ragab would be the
first to proclaim—and it’s his Universal Language that may just provide Hertwig with the escape route he needs. As unconven-
tional as the eponymous Ragab, this novel takes the reader on a surreal journey from Ealing to Egypt, via Germany.
Robert Twigger is an explorer and the author of numerous books, including The Extinction Club, Real Men Eat Puffer Fish,
and Angry White Pyjamas, for which he won the Somerset Maugham and William Hill Sports Book of the Year awards. In ad-
dition to writing books, he has contributed to Esquire, Lonely Planet Magazine, and Maxim.

A Novel of a Life
Keith Bulfin
A conservative Melbourne father pushing middle age is drawn into a world of drug smug-
gling and horrific violence in Mexico City, in this novel based on the author’s life
Being made into a film by New Holland Pictures
Mexican drug cartels, double agents, international money laundering, gun fights, massacres—
none of these things were supposed to be part of Keith's life. Keith is a stockbroker when, con-
victed of conspiracy to defraud, he is inexplicably sent to a supermax prison. There, among the
murderers, rapists, and psychopaths, he befriends the infamous Mexican drug cartel banker Daniel
Gomez—a friendship that will change his life. Once free, Keith is approached by the U.S. DEA,
wanting to take advantage of his connection with Gomez. Given little choice but to comply
and become a DEA agent, Keith soon learns that his role as an undercover private banker to
the ruthless Mexican drug cartels is one of the most dangerous assignments in the world. If dis-
covered, both he and his family will pay the ultimate price for betrayal. This chilling novel delves
into the inside workings of Mexican drug cartels and the DEA, and reveals one man's courage
in outwitting them both in his personal battle for redemption.
Keith Bulfin was working in the Australian investment banking industry as a share and mort-
gage broker in the 1980s when he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud. He spent three
years in a supermax prison, housed in one of the most dangerous units in Australia, where
he was beaten, stabbed, and spent a significant amount of time in solitary confinement. Dur-
ing this period he was introduced by prison authorities to two Mexican fugitives, and it was
his friendship with them that led to his recruitment by the U.S. Department of Justice to op-
erate a covert banking operation in Mexico for Mexican drug cartels.

Gang War
Graham Johnson
Inspired by real life events, this gritty first novel by a true crime author is a contempo-
rary Trainspotting
“[Johnson] is an expert on inner-city life and his grasp of gang culture seeps through
every page . . . a bloody good read.” —News of the World
The book was mentioned along with an interview with the author on Vice
magazine’s website
“If those pricks want a war, lad, we’ll show what some proper soljas can do.”
Dylan, Nogger, and their crew “tax” rival drug dealers using a red-hot steam iron and cel-
ebrate by making videos of themselves raping wannabe WAGs. In their world, guns and
knives are as common as cellphones. But when an innocent three-year-old girl is killed in
the crossfire, extreme measures are brought in to combat gang warfare. From burgeoning
organized crime to warped celebrity culture, this is an apocalyptic vision of a world in freefall.
This gripping debut novel is all the more shocking because it is inspired by real-life events.
Graham Johnson is an investigative reporter and crime writer. This is his first novel, fol-
lowing the true crime titles The Devil, Football and Gangsters, and Powder Wars. He has
been interviewed for Vice magazine’s website about UK gangs.

Spatula Academy of Fictional Excellence, and is looking forward to a life
of notoriety as the girlfriend of the fabulously wealthy vampire Teddy Kelledy.
Still desperate for fame, Heffa considers entering Undead’s Got Talent, judged
in part by the fearsome Vindicti; the only problem is, she’s not a member
of the undead—yet. Torn between becoming a vampire or staying human,
she soon realizes that hers and Teddy’s love story is so amazing that it alone
could make them both famous. As her plans for fame become more elabo-
rate, she graciously allows Teddy to give her a blinging engagement ring
and the society wedding of the season, with as much coverage and corpo-
rate sponsorship as possible. However, the course of true love and Heffa’s
frenzied rise to fame is threatened by the Vindicti, who want to make sure
that the Kelledys’ incredible celebrity power is under their control. Will Heffa
ever get fame, fangs, and a fabulously famous family? Will Teddy get the
wedding night he lusts after? Hilarious, witty, and intelligent, this is the ideal
gift for anyone who loves—or hates—Twilight.

My Friend Jesus Christ
Lars Husum
When Jesus Christ arrives uninvited at your apartment, and gently but firmly advises
you to clean up your life, well, naturally, you do as you’re told. A debut novel with the
rough, darkly humorous feel of a Dogme movie
“A fearless, funny debut, absurdist, chaotic, yet oddly life affirming. . . .

A startling book.” —Guardian
“A remarkable tragicomic tale about trust and friendship and how individual
actions dictate the lives around you.” —Financial Times
“Extremely funny—a tender yet on-the-edge tale of redemption.” —Big Issue
Niko is 13 when he loses his parents in a car crash. His sister, seven years his elder, is left
to look after him. As he grows up, she longs to lose this brotherly millstone around her
neck, but he cannot bear the thought of losing her protection. He goes to extremes to re-
tain her care and attention, putting himself, his girlfriend, and others in harm’s way, strik-
ing up with a gang, and administering violence to order. One day he goes so far that suicide
attempt breeds suicide attempt. On the other side of tragedy, he returns to his flat to find
an intruder on his sofa—a biker who proves immune to Niko’s menace. The biker con-
vinces him, first, that he is Jesus Christ, and, second, that he must now take charge of
Niko’s life. Niko is moved to return to his home village, where he sets about reconstructing
himself, and doing penance for his failures. He even finds love anew. But does he know
what to do with it, and has he really learned anything from his sister or from his mirac-
ulous new mentor?

tropa as a script doctor. This is his first book.

(Bleak House, Little Dorrit) three-part adaptation
Airing in three 60-minute episodes, May 1, 8, and 15, on PBS’s Masterpiece
The community of South Riding, like the rest of England, lives in the long shadow of war.
Blighted by recession and devastated by the loss, they must also come to terms with sig-
nificant social change. Forward-thinking and ambitious, Sarah Burton is the embodiment
of such change. After the death of her fiancé, she returns home to Yorkshire focused on
her career as headmistress of the local school—but not everyone can embrace the new
social order. Robert Carne, a force of conservatism, stands firmly against Sarah. A tor-
mented man, he carries a heavy burden that locks him in the past. As the villagers of South
Riding adjust to Sarah’s arrival and face the changing world, emotions run high, preju-
dices are challenged and community spirit is tested. Winifred Holtby’s little-known lit-
erary gem is a magnificent masterpiece, to be joyfully rediscovered by a whole new
generation of readers.

The Book Club
Marjolijn Februari
A rich, atmospheric story exploring snobbery, personal morality, what happens when one
turns a blind eye once too often, and how difficult it is to keep even the darkest secret
Thirty-year-old Theresa Pellikaan is typical of the wealthy middle classes—she has a respectable
background, a successful husband, a job in a gallery, and a house in an apparently sleepy,
yet powerful and rich village. When her former village schoolmate Ruth Ackermann makes
waves with an international bestseller and none of the villagers ever mention her achieve-
ment, not even the literary circle of Theresa’s father—famous civil rights scholar Randolf
Pellikaan, Theresa begins to wonder why. It can’t only be because it’s “not literature.” It
emerges that there is a dark secret in the village that every member of the book club has a
reason to keep quiet, and Ruth’s successful novel threatens to bring the past into the pres-
ent, with devastating results. Unable to cope with the silence, Theresa investigates, no mat-
ter the consequences.
Marjolijn Februari has published several collections of essays and is a columnist for a Dutch
newspaper. The Book Club is her second novel.

One day in the life of an English pub—abounds with sadness, banter, and exuberant sto-
rytelling, showing all the communal spirit and camaraderie of a pub
“A small classic—a slim book of deep but intimate ambition, a record of beauty and
strangeness of small lives on a small island.” —Guardian
“Wry, humane comic writing.” —Times
Dawn and Frank wake up one wet morning in the flat above their pub, the Old Spring. Today
they have to meet the brewery representative, creepy Tim Green, and track down an error

niversary of an old tragedy for which she always felt responsible. Frank has a problem of
his own—a secret that has ended his sex life with Dawn. Darren the cleaner, meanwhile, is
haunted by the ghost of a long-dead landlord. The pub’s “chaplain,” Father Thomas, tries
to rediscover his faith under the skeptical scrutiny of his tormentor, Alan. And, in the local
hospital, pub regular Romesh drifts towards death on his magic carpet, while back in the
bar, the tattooed man faces up to a life and death crisis of his own.

A Novel
Ben Myers
A captivating, hauntingly sad story of music, madness, and the Manic Street Preachers,
this is a dazzlingly written fictionalized account of the lead singer’s tortured life
“Gripping. . . . A nuanced portrait of Edwards, exploring the Manics’ rise, the Richey
myth, and the pain that fueled his alienation, anorexia, and self-harm. . . . A harrow-
ing and hauntingly sad work.” —Mojo
“A sympathetic and sad imagining of the boy who became a reluctant pop idol.”
—Time Out
Richard has everything to live for, but it doesn’t feel that way to him—not as long as he
has a voice in his head telling him he’d be better off dead. The one thing that might save
him is that he’s in an increasingly successful band, but the demons that nag him won’t be
persuaded. In February 1995, Richey Edwards checked out of a London hotel instead of
flying to the U.S. with the rest of the Manic Street Preachers. There were a few subsequent
sightings but then nothing. His body was never found, and he was declared legally dead in
November 2008. Now Richard tells the story of his life—and disappearance—as he might
have told it. Set in the 1980s and 1990s, it’s a compelling, tragic account of one man’s bat-
tle with his own worst enemy—himself.
Ben Myers is the author of Green Day: American Idiots & The New Punk Explosion and
System of a Down: Right Here in Hollywood. His writing has appeared in a number of pub-
lications including the Guardian, Melody Maker, MOJO, and NME.

Death of an Unsigned Band
Tim Thornton
A hilarious fly-on-the-wall trip around the outskirts of the music industry, with a valu-
able lesson: unsigned bands never become signed bands—they have to die first
“So real you can smell the sound man, see the promoter sneaking out without paying
you . . . truly compelling.” —Word
“A compelling portrait of fanatic fandom which reads like High Fidelity at high vol-
ume.” —Jay McInerney on The Alternative Hero
“A buddy comedy with a Nick Hornby vibe, this debut novel from British musician
Thornton charms from the very first chord. . . . Nails the changing music scene of the
past two decades . . . effortlessly captures the magnetic allure of great rock.”
—Publishers Weekly on The Alternative Hero
You’re an unsigned band. You’re a fuckin’ deeply unsigned band. You look like an unsigned
band. You sound like an unsigned band. You think like an unsigned band. You talk like an
unsigned band. Why on God’s green earth would any record company want an unsigned
band on its roster? It ain’t gonna happen, pal.
Being an unsigned band isn’t a situation—it’s a mental illness, and few people realize they’re suffering from this affliction. Rus-
sell Groom knows, and he wants to change things fast—but he doesn’t fit the traditional rock star mold. He is “alcohol intol-
erant,” says no to drugs, and is starting to have murderous thoughts toward Jake, his vacuous, and perpetually at-odds-with-reality
front man. His woefully unexceptional band is headed nowhere, inhabiting a world of cramped and sweaty rehearsal rooms,
crap day jobs, empty gigs, and interminable trips to play dodgy festival slots. Enter Josh—the enigmatic and blithely arrogant
son of a successful record producer—with an offer that’s impossible to refuse.
Tim Thornton has been a member of nine unsigned bands and two signed bands, neither of whom acquired their record deals
during his tenure, and currently plays drums for Fink. He is the author of The Alternative Hero.

she hides from the world. Everything changes one evening when an enigmatic fortune-teller
informs Lucy that her future is far from rosy—in fact, she doesn’t have one. Once his other
prophecies come scarily true, she starts to wonder if he could be right, and his prediction
pushes Lucy to finally throw caution to the wind. So begins a riotous race against the clock
as Lucy tries to squeeze a lifetime of fulfillment into a handful of days. She faces her demons,
confronts those that have annoyed her, and finally risks the thing she’s guarded most—her
heart. But will she actually live to regret throwing caution to the wind?

Making It Big
Heaven Is a Plus Size World
Lyndsay Russell
In a wickedly funny satire on size zero, celebrity weight-obsessed magazines, the fash-
ion industry, the advertising industry, high society, and Hollywood, no area of media-
fueled “body perfection” bullying remains unscathed
“Smart look at the size 0 debate that’s more funny than preachy!” —Elle
Sad, lonely Sharon Plunkett is a size 18. She’s tried every fad, every diet, every cream, but
like a stain of grease on a pure silk blouse, her rolls of fat refuse to budge. The man of her
dreams is not interested, and her slim friend Debbee uses her to look good. But all that changes
when Sharon magically finds herself in a fantastic, reversed world where it’s suddenly “in”
to be fat, and “out” to be slim. Now feted and adored for her curvaceously large body and
stunning face, she goes from being a newly discovered model to a Hollywood icon. Dating
ever more glamorous men on the way, Sharon journeys to the top of the celebrity world as
a magnificent example of womanhood. But then it all goes wrong. Very wrong. This deli-
cious, page-turning novel highlights press manipulation, and hits back at the “skinny in-
sanity” currently gripping the western world.
Lyndsay Russell is an artist, photographer, and the coauthor with her daughter of the pic-
ture book The Rainbow Weaver.

Revenge
Sharon Osbourne
In the glittery, sexy, absolutely addictive and soap operatic tradition of Jackie
Collins comes Sharon Osbourne’s blockbuster fiction debut
“It’s a rare page that doesn’t have a sex scene, birth, suicide, rape, plat-
inum-selling album or at least a line of top-quality cocaine in it. . . .
Glorious, fast-moving, unashamedly commercial fun.” —Guardian
“I devoured it in one sitting.” —Irish Independent
“Rip-roaring chatty and never boring.” —Publishers Weekly on Sharon
Osbourne Extreme: My Autobiography

she wants. An action-packed romp through a glamorous world, this is tale
of fame, sibling rivalry, and, of course, revenge, is unabashedly enjoyable.

Just before Amber slapped her sister, she closed her eyes, knowing she was
going to enjoy it far more than she should.
“So, come on, Amber,” Chelsea said, walking towards her. “Say what you’ve
got to say to me, and let’s get it over with.”
They faced each other, the Stone sisters, two of the most famous women on
the planet, adored for their talent and their beauty, and yet so different.
Chelsea: stunning, voluptuos, with thick, wavy black hair, creamy skin and
those eyes, an extraordinary dark blue, framed with thick black lashes. She
was a classic beauty, like an old-school Hollywood film star, possibly the
most talented actress of her day. But that talent hadn’t come without its
problems. At the age of 29, Chelsea had seen more things in her young life
Sharon Osbourne Survivor than most people experience in a lifetime.

though she was from Weybridge, Surrey. A pretty heart-shaped face, green
eyes like her mother’s and amber-coloured hair—it was one of the many
pieces of luck she’d had in her life, that her name matched her hair colour.
Amber had been the biggest pop star of her day. Now she was one of the
most popular movie stars on the planet. With three platinum albums under
her belt, a string of massive hit films followed: boys loved her, girls wanted
to be her. She had a voice like velvet. Soft, innocent, pure, vulnerable, yet
with an underlying, breathy sexuality.
But, as the saying goes, you have to be careful what you wish for.
All their lives, the Stone sisters had pursued their dream. And it turned out
there was room for only one of them at the top.

Mr Bishop and the Actress
A Raucous Regency Read

A rollicking Regency tale of manners, mischief, and behaving disgracefully
“The saga of an Austen-era bachelorette puts the lie to Regency delicacy

associate himself from the scandalous Sophie. Unfortunately, avoiding her proves
harder than he could ever have imagined and soon she’s causing him all kinds
of bother.

Wicked Ways
Zara Devereux
The proprietor of this antiquarian bookshop likes to go to bed with more than just a
good read—and he’s just hired two new assistants
“The whip sang and pain seared her. She jolted against her bonds but was too shocked to
scream. The second blow released this pent-up noise and she howled in aguish. He repeated
this several times and each time she was brought closer and closer to ecstasy . . . ”
Kelly Adele is a beautiful, sexually experienced woman; her friend Judith Blake is a young,
unworldly university graduate seeking her first job. Both are thrilled and delighted when
they are taken on as assistants in an antique bookshop. However, the shop’s owner Adam
Renald broadens their horizons way beyond the literary. He introduces Judith first to as-
pects of sex she never dreamed existed, and then to Damian—who becomes her master. Kelly
embraces each transgression with enthusiasm until she meets her sexual match in the au-
dacious con man Jake Bryce. But both their lives are transformed when they travel to Damian’s
French chateau and are introduced to the dark delights of his dungeon.

Ghost Stories
M. R. James
Introduction by Ruth Rendell
Malignant forces and supernatural visitors haunt these superbly spooky tales, selected
and introduced by Ruth Rendell
“An original and powerful storyteller. . . . A gnawing sense of unease, a steady accumu-
lation of sounds, shadows, and images finally meet in a single moment of sensational
physical horror.” —Daily Telegraph
“M. R. James is quite simply the finest writer of ghost stories ever. They’re always set in
an academic context, about university chaps who find out very nasty things while
they’re researching. They uncork the wrong bottle, unearth the wrong papers, dig up
the wrong place. . . . James was provost of Eton and a fellow of Kings College, and the
stories have this wonderful candlelit, academic atmosphere, surrounded by incredible
nastiness. Tweedy, but unpleasant.” —Christopher Frayling, author, Spaghetti Westerns
M. R. James wrote his ghost stories to entertain friends on Christmas Eve, and they went on
to both transform and modernize a genre. James harnesses the power of suggestion to move
from a recognizable world to one that is indefinably strange, and then unforgettably terri-
fying. Sheets, pictures, carvings, a doll’s house, a lonely beach, a branch tapping on a window—ordinary things take on more
than a tinge of dread in the hands of the original master of suspense. James’s prescription for his ghost stories was to “let the
ominous thing put out its head, unobtrusively at first, and then more insistently, until it holds the stage.”
M. R. James (1862–1936) was a renowed medievalist and biblical scholar, and published works on palaeography, antiquarian-
ism, bibliography, and history as well as editing a collection of ghost stories by Sheridan Le Fanu. He remains best known for
his own ghost stories, which were published in several collections including Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, A Thin Ghost and
Other Stories, and A Warning to the Curious. Ruth Rendell is an award-winning crime writer whose books include End in Tears,
Harm Done, and The Monster in the Box.

The Phantom of the Opera

Gaston Leroux
The classic Gothic horror novel of haunted cellars, opera, murder, and unrequited love that
inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical
“A venerable, much-adapted story of grand, delicate feelings and gothic creepiness.”

—New York Times
Christine is a beautiful young singer at the Paris Opera. She is watched by the opera’s “phan-
tom”—a mysterious masked figure who terrorizes the opera’s management and players. With
the phantom’s help, Christine rises to become the opera’s star performer—but when the phan-
tom demands her heart in return, Christine is torn between gratitude and pity for her strange
benefactor, and love for her childhood sweetheart, Raoul.
Gaston Leroux (1868–1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction. His most
famous work, Le Fantôme de l’Opéra (The Phantom of the Opera), was inspired by a tour of
the cellars at the Paris Opera, and published in 1911. The story has been adapted for film
and, most notably, for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, the longest running Broadway show
in history.

Tess of the D’Urbervilles
Thomas Hardy
Introduction by Anne Michaels
Published in association with the Orange Prize for fiction, with an introduction by Fugi-
tive Pieces author Anne Michaels, describing why she chose it as the book she’d like to
pass on to the next generation
“Has a lush sensuality about the heat of summer and the heat of lust which makes the
gorgeousness of Hardy’s heroine and his country of Wessex both seem utterly desir-
able as the tale of tragic fate unfolds.” —Times
Celebrating the 16th anniversary of the Prize, six Orange Prize winners
selected the books they would like to pass onto the next generation, and
contributed a passionate and persuasive introduction. For this partnership,
the Vintage Classics spines will go orange.
Tess is an innocent young girl until the day she goes to visit her rich “relatives,” the
D’Urbervilles. Her encounter with her manipulative cousin, Alec, leads her onto a path that
is beset with suffering and betrayal. When she falls in love with another man, Angel Clare,
Tess sees a potential escape from her past, but only if she can tell him her shameful secret.
Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) is also the author of Far from the Madding Crowd and Jude
the Obscure. Anne Michaels’ novel Fugitive Pieces won several awards, including the Lan-
nan Literary Award for Fiction, the Books in Canada First Novel Award, the Guardian Fic-
tion Award, and the Orange Prize for Fiction; and was made into a feature film. Her second
novel, The Winter Vault, has been widely acclaimed. She lives in Toronto.

The Complete Brigadier Gerard

Arthur Conan Doyle
Both volumes of Conan Doyle’s much-loved comic tales are gathered here in one edition
“In its pages you will find adventure, action, romance, love and self-sacrifice, hair’s-
breadth escape and reckless courage, gallantry, panache, and a droll, backhand humor
that rivals that of P. G. Wodehouse. You will also find yourself, even more than with
the celebrated stories of Holmes and Watson, in the hands of an indisputable artist.
For more than any other adventure stories I know, these stories have a power to move
the reader. . . . Unjustly forgotten tales by a great master.” —Michael Chabon for
NPR’s You Must Read This
“The Brigadier Gerard stories display all the narrative gusto of Doyle’s more famous
Sherlock Holmes, together with an irresistible warmth and humor.” —Philip Pullman
“Of course I read every Sherlock Holmes story, but the works I like even more than
the detective stories are his great historical stories.” —Winston Churchill
Mon Dieu! The extraordinary, saber-rattling adventures of Gerard, a young French cavalry
officer in the time of the Napoleonic wars, introduce a hero who will be adored by fans of
Flashman and Sherlock Holmes alike. Modern readers will delight in their absurdist hu-
mour, infectious warmth, and swash-buckling energy.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) produced more than 30 books, 150 short stories, poems,
plays, and essays across a wide range of genres. His most famous creation is the detective
Sherlock Holmes.

Sense and Sensibility
The Bath Bicentenary Edition
Jane Austen
Illustrations by Niroot Puttapipat
Introduction by Katharine Reeve
Bicentenary edition of a beloved classic complete with original color plates and new
silhouettes by illustrator Niroot Puttapipat, capturing the spirit of Regency England
The first of Jane Austen's published novels, Sense and Sensibility was originally pub-
lished in October 1811. Originally entitled after its two heroines, Elinor and Marianne,
the novel tells the tale of sensible Elinor Dashwood, the older of the two sisters, who
believes in privacy, propriety, and logic, and flighty Marianne, who follows her heart
without so much as a second thought for the consequences. As much a comment on
social etiquette as a story about love and belonging, the timeless favorite illuminates
Jane Austen's world. Featuring Jane Austen's complete and unabridged text, this is the
first of six specially produced editions of her novels published to coincide with the bi-
centenary of their first publication.
Jane Austen (1775–1817) was the author of six published novels. Now considered to
be one of the foremost writers of English literature, her ability to combine insight, wit,
and humor to bring alive the stories of ordinary people doing everyday things in 19th-
century England is without rival. Niroot Puttapipat is an artist who has illustrated The
Musicians of Bremen, The Night Before Christmas: A Magical Cut-Paper Edition, and
several Jane Austen novels for The Folio Society. Katharine Reeve is a Jane Austen ex-
pert and the author of Jane Austen in Bath.

Charles Dickens
Lucinda Dickens Hawksley
Written by his descendant and an internationally recognized Dickens expert,
this definitive interactive illustrated guide to the man and his works includes
15 memorabilia facsimiles from his personal archive
200th anniversary of Dickens’s birth is February 7, 2012
Produced in association with the Charles Dickens Museum in London, this biog-
raphy follows Dickens from early childhood, including his time spent as a child
laborer, and looks at how he became the greatest celebrity of his age and still re-
mains one of the world’s most renowned literary figures, even in the 21st century.
It is an intimate look at what he was like as a husband, father, friend, and em-
ployer; at his longing to be an actor, his travels across North America, his year
spent living in Italy, and his great love of France. It introduces his fascinating fam-
ily and astonishing circle of friends, and reveals when and how life and real-life
personalities were imitated in his art. With beautiful photographs and artwork,
and many never-before-seen documents, this book brings to life an extraordinary
and complex man whose name remains internationally revered and whose work
continues to inspire.
Lucinda Dickens Hawksley is the great-great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens and a patron of the Charles Dickens Mu-
seum in London. She has written more than 20 books, including Lizzie Siddal: Face of the Pre-Raphaelites and a juvenile retelling
of A Tale of Two Cities. A lecturer as well as a writer, Lucinda is an expert in Dickens’s family life and has been awarded a fel-
lowship to study the life of Augustus Dickens—Charles’s brother and the original “Boz”—at Chicago’s Newberry Library.

WHITE’S BOOKS
“These are truly original and brilliant pieces of writing that are in no need of safe, retrospective
design, which can lead readers to think the books lack immediacy . . . they deserve an edition
that stands a chance of ageing as gracefully as the writing.” —David Pearson
White’s Books combines bolder contemporary design with the appeal of a classic cloth-bound edition, offering
readers stunning and affordable luxury. Award-winning designer David Pearson—also responsible for the Penguin
Great Ideas series—commissions illustrators and produces these editions to the highest standards. Instead of a dust
jacket, the decorated cloth covers have a printed illustration, in a traditional medium such as drawing, woodcut, or
engraving, wrapping around the book. Among the other elements that differ from standard hardbacks are colored
page tops, decorated endpapers, meticulous line-by-line typesetting, sewn in and glued pages to produce a longer-last-
ing book that won't warp, and thicker acid free paper, to give these editions extra appeal and embody the crafted
virtues of a good book. The result is quality of design and production that adds to the pleasure of reading.
Great Expectations
Charles Dickens
The cover illustration is by acclaimed milliner Steven Jones, OBE, who has
designed for the collections of Christian Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Marc
Jacobs, and John Galliano; and has created hats for the costuming in films
by Steven Spielberg and for Audrey Tatou in the acclaimed film Coco
before Chanel
The greatest coming-of-age story in English literature and a memorable depiction of its age,
Great Expectations was published in 1860–61 and its story of ambition versus fidelity, youth-
ful mistakes and education, and admirable ambition overcoming social limitations has made
it Dickens’ most popular novel. This edition includes the book’s original ending.
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) is considered one of the English language’s greatest writers.

Hard Times
Dickens’s great novel of social protest in 19th-century England

when poor Louisa is forced into a loveless marriage to the much older, self-made Josiah Bound-
erby, she and Tom must risk anger, betrayal, and heartache to break free of their restricted lives
and find the happiness they have been so long denied.

SHUSAKU ENDO
Shusaku Endo
“Endo to my mind is one of the finest living novelists.” —Graham Greene

“A remarkable work . . . sombre, delicate, and startlingly empathetic.”
—John Updike for the New Yorker, on Silence

nation’s leading Christian novelist. Born in 1923, he won many major literary awards and was nominated for the
Nobel Prize several times. His novels, which have been translated into 28 languages, include Deep River, The Final
Martyrs, A Life of Jesus, Scandal, Silence, and Wonderful Fool. Martin Scorsese’s long-cherished film version of

From the author of Silence, this powerful novel of ideas is also a sensitive and moving
depiction of the trials of old age, set in the central region of Japan
With two masterly portraits of two men who have lived their lives—both physically and
metaphorically—under the shadow of the Akadeke volcano, this crucial work in Endo’s
oeuvre charts the conflicts between them, which have explosive results. This is the first pa-
perback edition of one of Endo’s greatest works.

When I Whistle
Shusaku Endo
One of Endo’s most unusual and powerful novels is set largely in a modern hospital,
with themes and scenes that eerily seem to predate Never Let Me Go
A jaded businessman has a chance encounter with the doctor son of his best friend at school,
Ozu, and memories are stirred of a former love interest of Ozu’s, Aiko. The son of his friend
proves to be contemptuous of the outmoded values of his father’s world and ruthless in
pursuit of success at his hospital. The story reaches a terrible climax when Aiko, now a
middle-aged cancer-sufferer, is admitted to the hospital and Ozu leads the way in experi-
menting on her with dangerous drugs.

The Greatest Thing in the World

Henry Drummond
Foreword by Norman Drummond
A new edition of the devotional classic for all following the Christian faith who seek to
live a life of love
“Some men take an occasional journey into the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians, but
Henry Drummond was a man who lived there constantly. As you read what he terms
the analysis of love, you found that all its ingredients were interwoven into his daily
life.” —D. L. Moody, Moody Church founder
You have life before you. Once only you can live it. What is the noblest object of desire, the
supreme gift to covet?
Perhaps the most famous exposition of Paul’s message of love to the Corinthian church, Scot-
tish writer Henry Drummond wrote this short meditation in 1874. Widely read and quoted
in his lifetime, it sold more than 12 million copies and remains a much-loved devotional
classic today, laying out the foundation of the gospel: that love, of God and of one another,
is the highest calling. This new edition includes 10 of his most significant addresses.
Henry Drummond (1851–1897) was a Scottish evangelical writer and lecturer best remembered
today for his 1874 meditation on love, The Greatest Thing in the World. Norman Drummond
is a Chaplain to Her Majesty The Queen in Scotland and the author of The Spirit of Success.

The Practice of the Presence of God

Brother Lawrence
Translated by E. M. Blaiklock
Foreword by Jennifer Rees Larcombe
With an introduction by the translator that sets Brother Lawrence in the context of his
time, the devotional classic that has helped countless people become aware of the pres-
ence of God
There is not in the world a way of life more sweet, nor more delightful than continual con-
verse with God. Those only who practise it, and savour it, can understand it.
It was as a lay monk in a monastery kitchen that Brother Lawrence discovered the delight
of a continual awareness of God’s presence. Despite his modest position, Brother Lawrence’s
deep joy in his relationship with God led him to counsel numerous people in society, and
after his death his wisdom was distilled into this volume. An enduring spiritual classic, it
remains an inspiring invitation to all who long for more of God’s presence in their lives.
Brother Lawrence (c.1614–1691) was a lay brother in a Carmelite monastery who is best
remembered for the simple, yet profound, insights into the spiritual life contained in The
Practice of the Presence of God. E. M. Blaiklock (1903–1983) was an author specializing
in biblical studies and the translator of The Confessions of Saint Augustine and The Imita-
tion of Christ. Jennifer Rees Larcombe is a Christian author who runs a ministry.

Ancient Sorceries and Other Chilling Tales

Algernon Blackwood
Foreword by Anthony Lejeune
Seven of the best stories from a seminal author of the supernatural whose devotees ranged
from H. P. Lovecraft to Henry Miller
Blackwood was a writer of great distinction—his narratives were not so much ghost sto-
ries as psychic adventures, his characters standing on the brink of alternative, sometimes
frightening worlds. Two campers find themselves staying in an eerie locale, impinged on
by another dimension; a tourist returning from a trip becomes too enchanted with a strange
French town and its people to leave; a member of a hunting party is abducted in the Cana-
dian wilderness. Mysterious and unsettling, his stories have the capacity to invoke genuine
fear in the reader. This collection includes “The Willows”—perhaps Blackwood’s most cel-
ebrated story, and considered to be one of the finest supernatural tales in English litera-
ture—and “The Wendigo,” another undisputed masterpiece, and confirms Algernon
Blackwood as one of the modern geniuses of supernatural fiction.
Algernon Blackwood (1869–1951) was one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in
the history of the genre. H. P. Lovecraft deemed him one of the “Modern Masters” of hor-
ror, while Henry Miller called his book The Bright Messenger “the most extraordinary novel
on psychoanalysis.” His careers were many and varied, and included working as a jour-
nalist for the New York Times. Anthony Lejeune is the editor of The Concise Dictionary
of Foreign Quotations and the author of White’s: The First Three Hundred Years.

The Mystery of a Hansom Cab

Fergus Hume
Foreword by Anthony Gardner
One of the defining novels of crime fiction, this book is credited with inspiring Arthur
Conan Doyle to write A Study in Scarlet, which initiated the character Sherlock Holmes
When a man is found murdered inside a Melbourne hansom cab at the end of his journey,
the police quickly find out who he was and ascertain that he has been robbed of a certain
piece of paper—but what did the document contain, and who was prepared to kill him for
it? First published in Australia in 1886, and described by John Sutherland as the 19th cen-
tury’s “most sensationally popular crime and detective novel,” this book sold out in three
weeks and went on to sell more than half a million copies worldwide. With twists and turns,
and considerably ahead of its time in both format and content, this tale remains, more than
a century later, as thrilling as the very best of Sherlock Holmes.
Fergus Hume (1859–1932) produced more than 100 novels and short stories. Originally
self-published, his first novel The Mystery of a Hansom Cab went on to be a great success.
Anthony Gardner is editor of the Royal Society of Literature’s Annual Review.

New Arabian Nights

Robert Louis Stevenson
Foreword by Robert Irwin
First published in book form in 1882, Stevenson’s first published fiction combines dark
humor with wit and narrative skill, and is considered by some critics to be his best work
Previously published in magazines between 1877 and 1880, this collection loosely draws
on the tales of the 1,001 Arabian Nights for inspiration. There are several batches of linked
stories, including the darkly humorous series featuring The Suicide Club, named for a so-
ciety composed of members so disillusioned with life that they have devised a ritual whereby
one member can be chosen at random to assassinate another. Another sequence features
the physically attractive but practically ineffectual Harry Hartley. Witty, inventive, and
imbued with all the narrative skill and force of Stevenson’s better-known work, these sto-
ries are a real delight for any lover of fine writing and storytelling.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) was a novelist, poet, and travel writer. His best-known
works include A Child’s Garden of Verses, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Treasure Island.
Robert Irwin is an historian, novelist, and an acclaimed expert on Arabian literature. He
is the author of The Alhambra, The Arabian Nights: A Companion, The Arabian Night-
mare, and Dangerous Knowledge.

Uncle Silas
Sheridan Le Fanu
Foreword by Mark Le Fanu
A brilliantly drawn villain and a slow build to a hair-raising climax have led many to
consider this early “locked room mystery” to be the best Victorian gothic novel
Heiress Maud Ruthyn first becomes aware of her Uncle Silas when her father hires a cer-
tain Madame de la Rougierre to be her companion. But Madame de la Rougierre brings
with her a horrible sense of foreboding, and when she turns out to be a liar and a thief,
she is soon dismissed, taking her dark secrets with her. Unhappily for Maud it soon be-
comes clear that Madame de la Rougierre has a clear role to play in her destiny—for when
she is orphaned and sent to live with her sinister Uncle Silas, who should she find wait-
ing for her there but Madame. With its sensational tricks, menacing atmosphere, and strong
sense of the occult, this is one of the greatest mystery stories ever written.
Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873) was the premier ghost story writer of the 19th century
and had a seminal influence on the development of this genre in the Victorian era. His
best-known works are Uncle Silas and the novella Carmilla, a lesbian vampire story which
greatly influenced Bram Stoker. Mark Le Fanu is director of film history at the European
Film College in Denmark. He is the author of several books on film, and a frequent con-
tributor to journals such as Sight & Sound and Positif. He is distantly related to Sheri-
dan Le Fanu.

The Juniper Tree

Barbara Comyns
Foreword by Margaret Drabble
Margaret Drabble provides a foreword for this haunting, beautifully written fable
based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, by the acclaimed author of The
Vet’s Daughter
“Delicate, tough, quick-moving, it’s a haunting book . . . an amazing achievement.”

—Financial Times
“Could hardly have been more satisfactorily accomplished.”
—Times Literary Supplement
“The Vet’s Daughter . . . hit me like a dangerous drug earlier this year: one of the best
books I’ve ever read.” —Wesley Stace, author, Misfortune, for the Believer
In their idyllic garden, Gertrude and Bernard forge a perfect triangle of friendship with Bella,
the scarred mother of an illegitimate child. Then Gertrude conceives the child which has long
eluded her, and the spell breaks into foreboding, menace, and madness. Simply told yet ut-
terly compelling, this is a multifaceted jewel of a tale, exquisitely written, by a true original.
Barbara Comyns (1907–1992) was an author and artist whose titles include The Vet’s Daugh-
ter and Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead. Margaret Drabble is an award-winning nov-
elist, biographer, and critic whose works include The Pattern in the Carpet, The Peppered
Moth, The Red Queen, and The Seven Sisters.

Uncommon Law
A. P. Herbert
Foreword by Lord Falconer
An anthology of fictitious law reports first published in Punch incisively exploring ab-
surd aspects of the law
First published as an omnibus of A. P. Herbert’s Misleading Cases, this is a hilarious and
penetrating collection of satirical “law reports” or “judgments” on various aspects of the
British legal and judicial system. These reports, although entirely fictional, were on several
occasions mistakenly reported as factual by the British press. The reports often had a sharp
political point beneath their satire, and tied into Herbert’s personal crusades against obso-
lescent legislation. As Lord Falconer points out in his foreword, “There is hardly a work in
English literature which captures more accurately and entertainingly the attitudes and ap-
proach of the English courts with their vanity, their humor, and their strength.”
A. P. Herbert (1890–1971) was a humorist, novelist, playwright, and law reform activist.
He wrote eight novels and 15 plays, and was a regular contributor to Punch. Lord Falconer
is a British Labor politician who became the first Secretary of State for Justice in 2007.

Directions to Servants
Jonathan Swift
A new edition of one of the most popular and acclaimed works by master satirist Jonathan
Swift, paired with its companion piece Polite Conversation
“A central document in the long, comic, and sly history of Irish disrespect.” —Colm
Tóibín, author, Brooklyn
“Strikes back at the master-servant dependency with an amusing blend of cynical par-
ody and puerile insolence.” —Independent
When you are at fault, be always pert and insolent, and behave yourself as if you were the
injured person; this will immediately put your master or lady off their mettle.
A tongue-in-cheek manual on how servants should cope with the demands of their mas-
ters and perform their tasks in ways that will best satisfy their indolence, wastefulness, and
greed, this satire takes a caustic and irreverent look at master-servant relations. Written
towards the end of his writing career, this pamphlet—presented with pictures and an ex-
tensive section on Swift’s life and works—shows Swift at his witty and mischievous best.
Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) is one of the foremost prose satirists in the English language,
best known for Gulliver’s Travels and A Modest Proposal.

How the Two Ivans Quarrelled

And Other Russian Comic Stories
Nikolai Gogol
Translated by Guy Daniels
Some of Russia’s finest pre-20th century comic writing is represented here, including
one of the funniest and most famous works by master storyteller Nikolai Gogol and hu-
morous stories by Saltykov-Shchedrin, Krylov, and Tolstoy
“A fantastic, self-parodic, mock-heroic folk tale.” —Patrick McCabe, author,

The Butcher Boy
Ivan Ivanovich is an excellent man. He is very fond of melons. They are his favourite food.
As soon as he has dined and come out on the porch in nothing but his shirt, he tells Gapka
to bring him two melons. He slices them himself, collects the seeds in a special piece of
paper and begins to eat. Then he orders Gapka to bring him the inkpot, and in his own
hand he writes an inscription on the paper containing the seeds: ‘This melon was eaten on
such and such a date.’ If a guest was present, he adds: ‘So and so participated’.
The first story in this volume, “How the Two Ivans Quarrelled,” is an amusing portrayal
of two exceptionally close friends, the mortal insult that drives them apart, and the ensu-
ing chaos that occurs. This is Gogol’s humor at its best, the most irrelevant-seeming de-
tails and turns of phrase suddenly taking on a bizarre life of their own. In the second story,
Ivan Krylov’s “Panegyric in Memory of My Grandfather,” an ingenuous narrator praises
the nobility and modesty of a landowner whose actions prove him to be otherwise. The
two stories by the Russian satirist Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin are satirical attacks on the
inability of civil servants to cope with real life, and on Russia’s autocracy. The final story,
Tolstoy’s “Ivan the Fool,” is arguably his most celebrated comic story.
Nikolai Gogol (1809–1852), one of the leading figures in 19th-century Russian literature,
is best known for his satirical masterpiece, Dead Souls, and humorous plays and short sto-
ries such as The Government Inspector and The Overcoat, written in a highly original and
often experimental style. Guy Daniels(1920–1989) published more than 40 translations from
Russian and French into English, including The Complete Plays of Vladimir Mayakovsky
and Racine and Shakespeare by Stendahl. He lived in Manhattan.

Hadji Murat
Leo Tolstoy
Translated by Jenny Hughes and Kyril Zinovieff
A new translation of Tolstoy’s last major piece of fiction
“My personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the
world.” —Harold Bloom, author, How to Read and Why
“As I read Hadji Murat again, I thought: this is the man one should learn from. Here
the electric charge went from the earth, through the hands, straight to the paper, with
no insulation, quite mercilessly stripping off any and all outer shrouds with a sense of
truth—a truth, furthermore, which was clothed in garments both transparent and
beautiful.” —Isaac Babel, author Red Cavalry
It was at the end of 1851. On a cold November evening, Hadji Murat was riding into the
hostile Chechen village of Makhet, where pressed-dung fires were emitting their fragrant smoke.
Hadji Murat, one of the most feared and venerated mountain chiefs in the Chechen struggle
against the Russians, defects from the Muslim rebels after feuding with his ruling Imam, Shamil.
Hoping to protect his family, he joins the Russians, who accept him but never put their trust
in him—and so Murat must find another way to end the struggle. Tolstoy knew as he was
writing this, his last work of fiction, that it would not be published in his lifetime, and so gave
an uncompromising portrayal of the Russians’ faults and the nature of the rebels’ struggle. In
the process, he shows a mastery of style and an understanding of Chechnya that resonates
today. This edition includes pictures and an extensive section on Tolstoy’s life and works.
Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) is regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time. With such
masterpieces as Anna Karenina and War and Peace, he influenced generations of writers and
changed the course of world literature. Jenny Hughes and Kyril Zinovieff previously trans-
lated Notes from Underground.

Wilhelm Meister
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Translated by H. M. Waidson
A masterpiece of German literature, this is the only edition in print in the English-speak-
ing world of the complete Wilhelm Meister—both Wilhelm Meister’s Years of Appren-
ticeship and Wilhelm Meister’s Years of Travel
“One of the most influential literary works of the early 19th century . . . a masterpiece
that resists all pigeonholing.” —Independent
Spring had appeared in its full magnificence—an untimely storm that had been threatening
all day broke turbulently on the heights, the rain moved over the countryside, the sun came
out again in its radiance, and against the grey background the splendid rainbow became vis-
ible. Wilhelm was riding towards it, and looked at it with melancholy.
Seduced by the chimerical world of the theater and taking upon himself the grand ambition
of becoming a successful performer and dramatist, the merchant’s son Wilhelm Meister em-
barks on a tumultuous quest of self-discovery. Along his path he finds himself having to ne-
gotiate love, desire, and the need to face his own past and responsibilities. A landmark in
the history of European literature, this novel is not only one of the key works of Weimar
Classicism and the prototype for the Bildungsroman genre, but also a timeless tale of com-
ing into one’s own and a fascinating portrayal of the late 18th-century theater world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) is widely considered the founder of modern Ger-
man literature. His best-known literary works include Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther.
H. M. Waidson has previously translated Goethe as well as other German and Swiss authors.

Moby Dick
Herman Melville
Foreword by Jay Parini
A new edition of one of the most popular classics of literature with a wealth of extra material,
including illustrations and an apparatus focusing on the life and works of Herman Melville
When the young Ishmael gets on board Captain Ahab’s whaling ship, little does he suspect that the
mission on which he is about to embark is the fulfillment of his master’s obsessive desire for re-
venge on Moby Dick, a white whale who has already claimed countless human victims and de-
stroyed many fleets. One of the great American novels, Moby Dick epically combines rip-roaring
adventure, a meticulously realistic portrayal of the whaling trade, and a profound philosophical
disquisition on the nature of good and evil.
Herman Melville (1818–1891) is a key figure in 19th-century American literature. Jay Parini is the
author of The Last Station and The Passages of H. M.

Plays: Vol.1
Luigi Pirandello
Introduction by Robert Rietti
The first volume of the complete theatrical works by an acclaimed and influential Italian author
The first of three volumes collecting the complete plays of Luigi Pirandello, this volume contains
some of Pirandello’s most famous plays, including Six Characters in Search of an Author, Henry
IV, Each in His Own Way, and The Life That I Gave You, as well as several of his lesser-known
works. Preoccupied with the nature of truth and delusion, and treading dangerously on the bor-
derline between sanity and madness, Pirandello’s plays are a daring exploration of human actions
and the dark motives lying behind them, and the culmination of the naturalistic school of theater
inaugurated by authors such as Ibsen and Chekhov.
Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936) is best known for his comic masterpiece Six Characters in Search of
an Author, and was the winner of the 1934 Nobel Prize for Literature. Robert Rietti is an Oscar-
nominated actor and a translator.

The Queen of Spades

And Other Stories
Alexander Pushkin
Translated by Paul Debreczeny
Introduction by John Bayley
A new edition of one of the most popular stories by Pushkin also contains works that are not
easily available in English, including the novel Dubrovsky
Beginning this collection of Pushkin’s shorter fiction is “The Queen of Spades,” perhaps the most
celebrated short story in Russian literature. The young Hermann, while watching some friends gam-
bling, hears a rumor of how an officer’s grandmother is always able to predict the three winning
cards in a game. Hermann gradually becomes obsessed with the old woman and her seemingly mys-
tical powers, and seeks to extract the secret from her at any cost. The collection also includes Dubrovsky,
the story of a man’s desire to avenge himself after his land is unjustly taken from him by an aristo-
crat; “Peter the Great’s Negro,” a tale inspired by Pushkin’s maternal grandfather; and the unfin-
ished story “Egyptian Nights,” a meditation on poetry and the poet.
Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837) was a novelist, dramatist, and poet who is now considered the fa-
ther of modern Russian literature. Paul Debreczeny was a translator and the author of Social Func-
tions of Literature: Alexander Pushkin and Russian Culture. John Bayley is a literary critic and the
author of Elegy for Iris.

Seven Dada Manifestos and Lampisteries

Tristan Tzara
Translated by Barbara Wright
The famous manifestos that first appeared between 1916 and 1921 and would become the basic
texts upon which Dada was based
Tristan Tzara—poet, literary iconoclast, and catalyst—was the founder of the Dada movement that
began in Zürich during World War I. His ideas were inspired by his contempt for the bourgeois val-
ues and traditional attitudes toward art that existed at the time. For Tzara, art was both deadly se-
rious and a game. The playfulness of Dada is evident in the manifestos collected here, both in Tzara’s
polemic—which often uses Dadaist typography—as well as in the delightful doodles and drawings
contributed by Francis Picabia. Also included are Tzara’s Lampisteries, a series of articles that throw
light on the various art forms contemporary to his own work.
Tristan Tzara (1896–1963) was a French poet, literary terrorist and catalyst, a delightful entertainer,
and a political revolutionary, who founded Dada in Zurich during World War I.

Purgatory
Alighieri Dante
Translated by J. G. Nichols
A new verse translation by an acclaimed prizewinning translator includes facing Italian text with
extensive notes relating to both the original and the translation, and an introduction to each canto
Describing Dante’s second stage in his arduous journey to redemption, this volume features a host
of unforgettable scenes and characters, and arguably some of the best poetry to be found in The
Divine Comedy. The gloom, torments, and evils of Hell have been left behind, but Dante’s ascent
of Mount Purgatory toward Paradise remains fraught with obstacles, not least the burden of his
own mortality and his human passions. This translation perfectly captures the sense of elegy and
melancholy that permeates this work. Also included are the original Italian text, extensive notes,
illustrations, and a critical apparatus focusing on Dante’s life and works.
Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) is considered to be the father of Italian poetry and one of the great-
est influences in world literature. J. G. Nichols was awarded the John Florio Prize for his transla-
tion of the poems of Guido Gozzano.

Poems
Antonia Pozzi
Translated by Peter Robinson
A new translation of the poems by one of the greatest 20th-century Italian poets
After her tragic death in December 1938 at the early age of 26, Antonia Pozzi’s poems—which she
had been secretly writing for years—were brought to light and became the object of great critical
attention, going through several editions in Italy and being translated into all the major European
languages. Since then, her reputation has risen steadily, and she is now considered one of the great-
est Italian poets of the 20th century. This new version with facing Italian text perfectly renders the
delicate undertones and that sense of longing which is such a distinctive feature of Pozzi’s poetry.
Antonia Pozzi (1912–1938) left an unpublished collection of just under 100 poems, a legacy that
has secured her place as one of the most original voices in 20th-century Italian literature. Peter Robin-
son is a poet and translator who won the John Florio Prize for his translation of The Greener Meadow
by Luciano Erba.

The Assassin’s Cloak
An Anthology of the World’s Greatest Diarists
Irene Taylor and Alan Taylor
A studiously eclectic and gloriously serendipitous gathering of diarists collected into one
fascinating anthology
“Readers shouldn’t miss Irene and Alan Taylor’s doorstop-sized, decade-in-the-making

assemblage of notable diary excerpts. . . . Spanning four centuries and addressing
countless topics (from thoughtful reflections on diary-keeping to gossip, politics, and
mundane musings) this book is for the expert and the dilettante, for the coffee table
and the reference shelf.” —Publishers Weekly
“A sumptuous feast. This inspired anthology of diverse diary entries, selected chiefly
for their honesty, is relentlessly thought-provoking.” —Independent
The Taylors specialize in the canny juxtaposition . . . they seemed to have packed in
practically everyone one had ever heard of, as well as a number of promising names."
—Times Literary Supplement
Universally praised, this remarkably wide-ranging anthology—laid out, day by day, like a diary—
offers up 365 opportunities to combine diarists of a distinctly different hue—from different
ages, walks of life, and with wildly different tones and agendas. From Pepys, Scott, Woolf, and Adrian Mole, to Kenneth Williams,
Brian Eno, Jean Cocteau, Evelyn Waugh, and Alan Clark, the result is a compulsive collection that can be read selectively or con-
tinuously. In the most readable way possible, it’s an amazing tribute to a fascinating genre, populated by only the best.

tival and a judge of the Booker Prize. Irene Taylor is a trained librarian and works for the National Trust in Scotland.

The Canongate Burns

The Complete Poems and Songs of Robert Burns
Andrew Noble
The most comprehensive and challenging edition of the poems and songs of Robert Burns
ever to be published
Along with Walter Scott, Robert Burns is probably the best-known Scottish writer in the world.
His life story is often represented as one of sexual and alcoholic excess. Drawing on exten-
sive scholarship and the poet’s own inimitable letters, this defining work offers a wealth of
information on Burn’s life and times, the hardship of his early days, his political beliefs, his
hatred of injustice, and his fate as a writer too often sentimentalized by biographers, critics,
and well-meaning enthusiasts. The poems are presented in the order of their first appearance,
giving further insights into the reception of Burns’s work and the guarded relationship he
had both with his readers and his own fame. Burns is shown as being a radical figure in a
British as well as a Scottish context—as well as the peer of Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge,
Keats, and Byron in the revolutionary and repressive world of the 1790s.
Andrew Noble is the author of Artillery and Explosives, Researchers on Explosives, and Robert
Louis Stevenson.

Laura Dockrill
“The 24-year-old poet and storyteller takes her inspiration from Tim Burton and
Roald Dahl in this gloriously off-kilter collection of modern fairy tales and poems.
Beyond cool.” —Marie Claire
“Obsessive and darkly erotic, and shot through with a macabre and bloodthirsty
streak, this is surreal fantasy that really clicks into place when it explores the links
between body image and body horror. Perfect alternative bedtime reading for readers
who’ve grown out of Roald Dahl.” —Herald

yet strange, and characters old, made new. Dip inside to discover today’s Princess and the
Pea, the modern Hansel and Gretel, 21st century ghouls, monsters, and more. Darkly hu-
morous and bone-shatteringly terrifying, this collection of tales with sketches throughout
will reel the reader in, unable to escape its spell.

ber. Not only are there some of the most important poems in the language, but also

Sean O’Brien
A brilliant new collection from the T. S. Eliot and Forward Prize-winning poet
Showing O’Brien at the height of his powers, with his intellect and imagination as gratify-
ingly restless as ever, this collection is haunted by the missing, the missed, the vanished, the
uncounted, and the uncountable lost—lost sleep, connections, muses, books, and the ghosts
and gardens of childhood. Ultimately, the poet is led to contemplate the most troubling ab-
sences: O’Brien’s elegies for his parents and friends form the heart of this book, and are the
source of its pervasive note of départ. Elsewhere—as if a French window stood open to an
English room—the islands, canals, railway stations, and undergrounds of his landscape are
swept by a strikingly Gallic air. This new note lends these recent poems a reinvigorated sense
of the imaginative possible.
Sean O’Brien is a poet, critic, playwright, broadcaster, anthologist, and editor. His six col-
lections of poetry to date have all won awards, most recently The Drowned Book, which
is the only book of poetry to have won both the Forward Prize for best collection and the
T. S. Eliot Prize. He is also a translator of Dante’s Inferno and has reviewed for the Guardian
and the New York Review of Books.

Ode to Love
100 Poems of Love & Lust
Compiled by Dannie Abse
From Ovid to Anne Bradstreet, Auden to Seamus Heaney—100 memorable poems to say
I love you
“This erudite anthology breathes life into love’s many tangled confusions.”
—Good Book Guide
From the Bible’s “The Song of Solomon” to Li Po’s “The River Merchant’s Wife: A Letter,”
to recent masterpieces by the Nobel Prize–winner Seamus Heaney and the British Poet Lau-
reate Andrew Motion, each poem is preceded by pithy, introductory biographical notes. With
favorites from W. H. Auden, Emily Brontë, Carol Ann Duffy, Federico García Lorca, and Jacques
Prévert, this is a comprehensive collection to treasure. From the thrill of a new romance to
the knowing celebration of an enduring one, from the comedy of lust to the tragedy of pro-
found loss, celebrated poets of past centuries and renowned modern ones confess their love,
or beg for it, or rage against it, sometimes with humor and often with elegance.
Dannie Abse is a poet and an author of fiction, plays, and several acclaimed volumes of au-
tobiography. His novel The Strange Case of Dr Simmonds & Dr Glas was long-listed for the
Booker Prize and short-listed for the Wingate Prize.

Distinguished Leaves
Poems for Tea-Lovers
Elizabeth Darcy Jones
Foreword by Nigel Havers
A collection from one of a handful of tea poets in the world, perpetuating the
ancient Chinese and Japanese tradition of writing poetry about the multifaceted
aspects of tea
“A delightful mix of prose and poetry.” —Tony Parsons, author, Man and Boy, on
Simply This
The recession has spawned two quiet revivals—drinking loose leaf-tea and reading po-
etry. Put the two together and we have “poetea.” A prominent tea poet serves up a heady
brew in this volume celebrating different teas and “tea people.” Thirty-seven different teas
are described as characters in these poems, revealing their unique personalities in an ac-
cessible and entertaining way. Whether the reader is a novice new to poetry and “posh
tea,” or an expert leaf tea lover, this book will simultaneously enlighten and delight.
Elizabeth Darcy Jones’ first volume of poetry was Simply This. Nigel Havers is an actor
who has appeared in such movies as Chariots of Fire and Empire of the Sun and such
television shows as Brothers and Sisters, Coronation Street, Little Britain, and Sarah
Jane Adventures.

The Man Who Left Too Soon
The Life and Works of Stieg Larsson
Barry Forshaw
The stranger-than-fiction life story of the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
“A must-buy for Larsson fans.” —January magazine
His three novels are violent, terrifying, brilliantly written, and have sold millions of copies
around the world, but Stieg Larrson was not able to witness their international success. Since
he died in 2004 the author of the Millennium trilogy has received international fame with
dizzying speed, but when one looks a little deeper at the man behind these phenomenal nov-
els, it is clear that his life would be remembered as truly extraordinary even had his trilogy
never been published. Larrson was a workaholic: a political activist, photographer, graphic
designer, a respected journalist, and the editor of numerous science fiction magazines. At
night, to relax, he wrote crime novels. By the time of his death at the age of 50 he had com-
pleted The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Next, the third book featuring the hypnotic Lis-
beth Salander. His relentless personality and political convictions did not make life easy.
He famously took on some dangerous neo-Nazi opponents, making for much speculation
that his enemies, who often told him that his days were numbered, may have a hand in his
premature demise. This difficult man, brilliant and multifaceted, is the subject of a pene-
trating biography and a celebration of his remarkable life and books.
Barry Forshaw is the author of Italian Cinema and The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction.

Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days

Fourth edition
Jared Cade
Revised and expanded with a wealth of new material, this riveting study reveals why Christie
staged the notorious episode of her own disappearance, and how it all went terribly wrong
“This thoughtful and absorbing inquiry . . . lends credible dimension to the complex life
story of mystery’s most celebrated practitioner. Well done!” —Sue Grafton, author,
U for Undertow
“Riveting, stylish procedural. . . . It’s a case to challenge Miss Marple.”
—Publishers Weekly
In December 1926 Agatha Christie became front-page news when she vanished in bizarre cir-
cumstances from her home in Berkshire, England. The crime writer was found 11 days later
in a hotel in Harrogate,Yorkshire, claiming to be the victim of amnesia. Until now none of
her biographers have come up with conclusive evidence as to what Agatha Christie did in the
first 24 hours after she disappeared, or whether her memory loss was genuine. Although the
notoriety made Agatha Christie famous, she never recovered from the intense press scrutiny,
and the private anguish that surrounded the episode ensured that she made no reference to
it in her memoirs. Illustrated with many hitherto unpublished photographs, Jared Cade’s il-
luminating book provides all the answers, including startling accounts by the novelist’s sur-
viving relatives, that reveal for the first time why she staged the disappearance with the help
of a coconspirator and how it went wrong.
Jared Cade is an authority on Agatha Christie and lectures regularly on her work and her no-
torious disappearance.

Desperate Romantics
The Private Lives of the Pre-Raphaelites
Franny Moyle
Their Bohemian lifestyle and intertwined love affairs shockingly broke 19th century class
barriers and bent the rules that governed the roles of the sexes—here is the scandalous
saga of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
“Captures all the sex, madness, and addiction, making modern-day sagas seem down-
right dull!” —Glamour UK
The basis of a 2009 six-part BBC series with Being Human’s Aidan Turner as
Rossetti, billed as “Entourage with easels” and available on DVD
Brought to life through the vivid letters and diaries kept by the group and the accounts writ-
ten by their contemporaries, the bad boy celebrities of the late Victorian era are as compelling
today as they were then. They became defined by love triangles, played out against the aus-
tere moral climate of Victorian England; they outraged their contemporaries with their loves,
jealousies, and betrayals; and they stunned society when their complex moral choices led to
madness and suicide, or when their permissive experiments ended in addiction and death.
The influential critic, writer, and artist John Ruskin was their father figure, and his apostles
included the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the designer William Morris. These real-life stories shed new light on the great-
est 19th-century British art and artists.
Franny Moyle is former commissioner of arts and culture for the BBC and is now a freelance executive producer, handling some
of their major cultural series.

The Real Downton Abbey

An Unofficial Guide to the Period Which Inspired the Hit TV Show
Jacky Hyams
Fans of Julian Fellowes’ hit show can step back 100 years to the world of the pampered,
privileged upper classes and take a look at exactly what goes on behind the magisterial
doors of their favorite stately home
When the series was broadcast January 2011 on PBS as part of
Masterpiece, each episode averaged more than six million viewers.
The second season is scheduled to air on PBS in winter 2012
Using the characters and setting of the popular television show as a point of reference for
the reader, this is a closer look at the Edwardian period. They were the super rich of their
times, pampered beyond belief—the early 20th-century Edwardian gentry, who lived like
superstars, their every desire or need catered to by an army of butlers, servants, footmen,
housekeepers, and grooms. Class, money, inheritance, luxury, and snobbery dominated every
aspect of the lives of the upper-crust Edwardian family. While below stairs the staff inhabited
a completely different world, their very lives dependent on servicing the rich, pandering to
their masters’ every whim, and rubbing shoulders with wealth and privilege. While privy
to the most intimate and darkest secrets of their masters, they faced ruin and shame if they
ventured to make the smallest step outside the boundaries of their class-ridden world. From
manners and morals to etiquette and style, this book opens the doors to the reality of the
era behind TV’s favorite stately home.
Jacky Hyams is a freelance journalist and editor who regularly writes for the Evening Standard.

Disgusting Bliss
The Brass Eye of Chris Morris
Lucian Randall
of the most enigmatic figures in British comedy, Chris Morris is the celebrated and vil-
ified satirist and director of Four Lions, one of Time magazine’s top 10 movies of 2010
“Ugh, isn’t it annoying how we never find out about British comics until after the fact
(i.e. Ricky Gervais, Sacha Baron Cohen)? We wanted to stay ahead of the curve before
Chris Morris explodes onto the American scene with a spoof on 9/11.”
—Buzzfeed.com
“Sundance’s greatest provocation was Four Lions, cowritten and directed by British
comedian Chris Morris, who comes from the same satirical background as Steve
Coogan and In the Loop’s Armando Iannucci. Morris’ TV work, like his brilliant
Brass Eye, cuts close to the bone.” —Philadelphia City Paper
“A detailed and utterly absorbing account of the rise of the enigmatic and doggedly
determined master saboteur.” —Metro
U.S. fans of British comedy—the fans who knew about The Office or Ali G well before they
blew up—may have already known Chris Morris from his role on The IT Crowd; or pos-
sibly from one of his disturbing postmodern comedy series, Brass Eye or Jam. Now he’s known as the director of Four Lions,
the jihad satire that the New York Times chose as a critics’ pick, calling it a “shockingly sharp, stiletto sharp satire.” Referred
to in the UK as both a comedy genius and the most loathed man on TV, as this look at his work demonstrates, his uncompro-
mising style of comedy means he is rarely far from trouble. Morris first came to prominence at the heart of a group of come-
dians brought together by Armando Iannucci. This book follows them from their 1991 news satire On the Hour, which was
eventually reinvented as the equally successful The Day Today, from which costar Steve Coogan created a lasting anti-hero in
Alan Partridge. But Morris himself was always the most compelling character of all. Drawing on exclusive new interviews and
original research, this book creates a compelling portrait of Morris from his earliest radio days and of the comedians and writ-
ers who frequently took on the industry they worked in, polarizing opinion to such a degree that government officials threat-
ened to ban them entirely.

The Biography
Emily Herbert
The real story behind the man who scored one of the biggest gigs in television, replac-
ing Larry King as the anchor on his CNN show
Piers Morgan’s talents seem to know no bounds—he’s interviewed scores of celebrities, he
turned around the fortunes of a leading UK tabloid newspaper, he’s been a judge on one of
the most popular TV talent shows, and he’s written several books. Here is the story of the
man who seems to have the ability to reinvent himself again and again. It covers his mete-
oric rise through the ranks of tabloid journalism, from cub reporter to, at 28, the youngest
national newspaper editor in the UK in more than half a century. It also covers the con-
troversy when, in 2004 after nine successful years running the Mirror, he was fired after
the newspaper ran fake photos of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners. The story con-
tinues as, always one to bounce back from adversity, Morgan then penned a successful book
about his days as a tabloid journalist and went on to become the darling of UK TV, even-
tually moving to U.S. television with America’s Got Talent and The Celebrity Apprentice.

Through his perceptive onscreen interviews over the past five decades, Michael

highlights of his interviews, providing an intimate insight into the private lives and per-
sonal characters of celebrities from Roald Dahl to George Michael and W. H. Auden
to Elton John. Now an international celebrity himself, the man from a humble but col-
orful mining family has teased the secerets out of even the most reticent star guests,
such as Fred Astaire and Ingrid Bergman, and he has drawn fascinating new informa-
tion and insights from even the most frequently interviewed subjects like Peter Usti-
nov, David Niven, and Stephen Fry. Great comics such as Billy Connolly, Bob Hope,
Peter Sellers, and Dawn French prove as funny on the page as on screen, and it seems

The Surprising Life of Constance Spry

From Social Reformer to Society Florist
Sue Shephard
A riveting new biography—the first in 30 years—of the influential floral artist and founder
of the Cordon Bleu cooking school
“Makes you fall utterly in love with its subject. . . . Even if you’re not interested in flow-
ers, such was Spry’s sure, clear vision, irrepressible liveliness, quickness of mind, and hu-
manity, that flowers are neither here nor there.” —New York Times Style Magazine
“Dress by Schiaperelli, photographs by Cecil Beaton, flowers by Constance Spry—the decora-
tor of the moment, the photographer of the moment, the florist of the moment—what more could
you ask?”
Thus Vogue magazine described the wedding in 1937 of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, but
most people today, if they have heard of her, associate Constance Spry with the cookbook bear-
ing her name. But Connie was much, much more than the author of a bestselling cookbook.
She was deeply unconventional, extremely charming, and very determined; Spry’s life took her
from a poverty-stricken childhood to running a hugely successful business as the florist of choice
for the highest of high society, organizing the flowers for royal weddings and for the Queen’s
coronation. Along the way she escaped a violent marriage, had a lengthy affair with a cross-dressing lesbian artist, and built a
hugely successful flower business—a pioneer for working women at a time when few women had careers. Sue Shephard tells
her extraordinary story with insight, wit, and flair.
Sue Shephard is the author of Pickled, Potted and Canned: The Story of Food Preserving, which won the André Simon Special
Award, and Seeds of Fortune.

Supermac
The Life of Harold Macmillan
D. R. Thorpe
Packed with new revelations about Macmillan’s private life as well as key events includ-
ing the Tolstoy controversy, the Suez Crisis, the “You’ve Never Had It So Good” speech,
the “Winds of Change” speech, and the Profumo scandal
“Thorpe is not the first to wrestle [with Macmillan] but Thorpe’s account is the most
intensively researched and most intimate portrait of all. Supermac has found a Superbi-
ographer.” —Literary Review
The culmination of 35 years of research by a respected historian, this magisterial biography
provides an unforgettable portrait of a turbulent age. Great-grandson of a crofter and son-
in-law of a duke, Harold Macmillan (1894–1986) was complex as a person and influential
as a politician. Marked by terrible experiences in the trenches in World War I and by his work
as an MP during the Depression, he was a Tory rebel—an outspoken backbencher, opposing
the economic policies of the 1930s and the appeasement policies of his own government.
Churchill gave him responsibility during World War II with executive command as “Viceroy
of the Mediterrranean.” After the war, in opposition, Macmillan overhauled the Conserva-
tives on progressive and radical lines; after 1951, in government, he served as Minister of
Housing, Defence Secretary, Foreign Secretary, and Chancellor of the Exchequer. He became
Prime Minister after the Suez Crisis, and between 1957 and 1963 presided over Great Britain’s
transition from the age of austerity to that of affluence. He also proved himself one of the
great publishers of his generation.
D. R. Thorpe’s work on the constitutional history and politics of the 20th century has made
him one of Britain’s most respected historians. He has written biographies of Alec Douglas-
Home, Anthony Eden, Selwyn Lloyd, Austen Chamberlain, Lord Curzon, and Lord Butler.

Gunning for God

A Critique of the New Atheism
John Lennox
New ideas about the nature of God and Christianity that will give Dawkins’ best friends and
worst enemies alike some stimulating food for thought
“Recent books touting atheism have been grounded more on dyspepsia than on dispassion-
ate reason. In this book John considers the best, most recent science from physics and biol-
ogy, and demonstrates that the picture looks far different from what we’ve been told.”
—Michael Behe, author, Darwin’s Black Box, on God’s Undertaker
Tackling Hawking, Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, and a newcomer in the field—the French philoso-
pher Michel Onfray—John Lennox points out some of the most glaring fallacies in the New Athe-
ist approach in this insightful book. Since the twin towers crashed to the ground on September
11, there has been no end to attacks on religion. Claims abound that religion is dangerous, that
it kills, and that it poisons everything. And if religion is the problem with the world, say the New
Atheists, the answer is simple—get rid of it. Of course, things aren’t quite so straightforward.
Arguing that the New Athiests’ irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the
very obstinate foolishness they criticize in dogmatic religious folks, this erudite and wide-rang-
ing guide to religion in the modern age packs some debilitating punches and scores big for reli-
gious rationalism.
John Lennox is a professor of mathematics and the philosophy of science at the University of Oxford. A popular Chris-
tian apologist and scientist, Lennox travels widely speaking on the interface between science and religion. He is the au-
thor of Christianity: Opium or Truth?, The Definition of Christianity, God’s Undertaker, and Key Bible Concepts.

God and Stephen Hawking
Whose Design Is It Anyway?
John C. Lennox
A stirring reply to Hawking’s claims that God is not needed to ex-
plain the universe
“A brilliant response to Stephen Hawking’s The Grand Design.

Make sure you hear both sides of the argument!”
—Alister McGrath, author, The Dawkins Delusion
The Grand Design, by eminent scientist Stephen Hawking, is the latest
blockbusting contribution to the so-called New Atheist debate. It
claims that the laws of physics themselves brought the universe into being,
rather than God. In this swift and forthright reply, John Lennox, Ox-
ford mathematician and author of God’s Undertaker, exposes the flaws
in Hawking’s logic. In lively, layman’s terms, Lennox guides readers ac-
cessibly through the key points in Hawking’s arguments—complete with
clear explanations of the latest scientific and philosophical methods and
theories—and demonstrates that, far from disproving a Creator God,
they make his existence seem all the more probable. Perfect for anyone
interested in New Atheism or the dialogue between science and religion,
this book is the ultimate response to skeptics everywhere.

Excerpt: Also available:

Much of the rationale behind Hawking’s argument lies in the idea that there is a deep-
seated conflict between science and religion. This is not a discord that I recognize. For me,
as a Christian believer, the beauty of the scientific laws reinforces my faith in an intelli-
gent, divine Creator. The more I understand science the more I believe in God, because of
my wonder at the breadth, sophistication, and integrity of his creation.
Indeed, the very reason that science flourished so vigorously in the sixteenth and seven-
teenth centuries, under men like Galileo, Kepler and Newton, had a great deal to do with
their conviction that the laws of nature reflected the influence of a divine law-giver. One
of the fundamental themes of Christianity is that the universe was built according to a
rational, intelligent design. Far from belief in God hindering science, it is the motor that
drove it.
God’s Undertaker
The fact that science is (mainly) a rational activity helps us to identify another flaw in Hawk- 9780745953717
ing’s thinking. Like Francis Crick, he wants us to believe that we human beings are noth- $14.95 (Can $16.95) Paper
ing but “mere collections of fundamental particles of nature”. Crick writes: “You, your
joys and your sorrows, your memories and ambitions, your sense of personal identity and
free will, are in fact no more than the behaviour of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their
associated molecules.”
What shall we think, then, of human love and fear, joy and sorrow? Are they meaningless
neural behaviour patterns? Or, what shall we make of the concepts of beauty and truth?
Is a Rembrandt painting nothing but molecules of paint scattered on canvas? Hawking
and Crick would seem to think so. One wonders, then, by what means we should recog-
nize it. After all, if the concept of truth itself results from “no more than the behaviour of
a vast assembly of nerve cells”, how in the name of logic would we know that our brain
was composed of nerve cells?

Landscapes of Prayer
Finding God in Your World and Your Life
Margaret Silf
Seven landscapes of prayer, both classic and modern, are explored
in this beautifully illustrated, contemporary book
“Silf fans will find the writer they know and have come to de-
pend on for grounded ideas on how to incarnate one’s faith in
daily life.” —Publishers Weekly on Compass Points
“A readable and uplifting anthology.” —Publishers Weekly on
The Way of Wisdom
“Spiritual sustenance and wisdom of the ages not found in most
contemporary self-help manuals is provided here.” —Booklist
on The Way of Wisdom
The garden, the desert, the cave, the urban jungle, the mountaintop,
the seashore, and the forest—all are fruitful areas for self-discovery,
inviting us to connect with the mystery of God in our lives. Prayer is
often perceived as a difficult, abstract exercise in which we close our
eyes and seek God beyond our everyday experience in an invisible,
ethereal realm. Here, concrete connections between the world of prayer
and our physical reality are made—allowing us to revel in both the
physical and spiritual worlds simultaneously, and become that much
closer to God in the process.
Margaret Silf is a well-known retreat leader and the author of nu-
merous books, including At Sea with God, Close to the Heart, Com-
panions of Christ, Inner Compass, Sacred Spaces, The Gift of Prayer,

The Reformation Experience

Life in a Time of Change
Eric Ives
A thorough analysis of the Reformation, examining its roots through its greater European
influences and focusing on what it meant to the individual Christian of that day
There are many sound histories of the Reformation in the old style with its preference for
ideas and theologians. Taking a new approach, this guide shows how it came to the individ-
ual Christian and what it meant. It analyzes whether—and why—Reformation teaching was
or was not accepted, and looks at how it changed lives—with particular reference to the parish
church, belief, and commitment. The author focuses largely on Britain but does not ignore
European experience, and in the second part of the book looks at questions such as Why was
there a reformation? How did it happen? What did it achieve? and Does it matter?
Eric Ives is the author of Henry VIII, Lady Jane Grey, and The Life and Death of
Anne Boleyn.

plicable today as they were when they were first written. The apostle Paul stands in Chris-
tian history as a speaker, pastor, and theologian of unparalleled influence. His powerful

ued to inspire people ever since. Here, his influential quotations include topics such as God’s

Quantum Leap
How John Polkinghorne Found God in Science and Religion
Dean Nelson and Karl Giberson
Using key events in the life of physicist Sir John Polkinghorne, this is an introduction to
the central ideas that make the relationship between science and religion such a fascinating
field of investigation
“I cannot think of a more trustworthy guide than John Polkinghorne, who holds up
both ends of the science/faith debate.” —Philip Yancey, author, Disappointment
with God
“The revealing story of an influential Christian and brilliant physicist whose life trajec-
tory has been astonishingly unexpected. Written with sensitivity and clarity, this ex-
traordinary spiritual biography illuminates one of the leading figures in our
contemporary science-and-religion dialogue.” —Dr. Owen Gingerich, Harvard-
Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and author, God’s Universe
“An interesting and perceptive study of the life of a great and thoughtful person, who
emphasized the relation between science and religion.” —Charles Townes, winner,
Nobel Prize for Physics, and professor of physics, University of California
An engaging biography-cum-appraisal of John Polkinghorne’s life and work, this book uses
his story to approach some of the most important questions in life, including How should
a scientist view God? Why do we pray, and what do we expect from it? Does the universe have a point? and What hap-
pens after death? Sir John Polkinghorne is a British particle physicist who, after 25 years of research and discovery in ac-
ademia, resigned his post to become an Anglican priest and theologian. Since then he has written more than 20 books
exploring the relationship of science and theology. As a physicist, he participated in the research that led to the discov-
ery of the quark, the smallest known particle. Here, both his religious and scientific beliefs are explored in full detail.
Dean Nelson is an award-winning journalist who writes for the New York Times as well as Sojourners and Christianity
Today. He is author of 14 books, including God Hides in Plain Sight. He lives in San Diego, California. Karl Giberson,
a physicist, is the director of the Forum on Faith and Science at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts. He has writ-
ten more than a hundred articles on science and religion, and seven books including The Language of Science and Faith
and Saving Darwin: How to Be a Christian and Believe in Evolution.

costs of different world religions from the viewpoint of the believer. Whether one is inter-
ested in money, sex, and power, or art, science, and relaxation, this guide will help iden-
tify the religion that will work best with those interests. Its wry humor and broad approach
makes for the perfect counterpoint to a world which is becoming polarized between reli-
gious fundamentalism and atheist self-righteousness.
Trevor Barnes is an award-winning reporter for BBC Radio, and, in a career spanning more
than 20 years, has worked extensively within its religious and current affairs departments.

Kingfisher Children’s Bible.

The Accidental Pilgrim
Modern Journeys on Ancient Pathways
Maggi Dawn
Illustrated throughout, this is a compelling invitation for all to take the journey
of faith
Pilgrimages have been an important practice in Christianity since the fourth century,
but most people’s notion of a pilgrimage is one of traveling to the site of an appari-
tion in search of inspiration or miracles. This informative and realistic guide shows
that a pilgrimage is not just a relic of Catholic history, but can remain a significant
practice for 21st-century Christians. It outlines common places to visit on a pilgrimage,
and also includes thorough advice for how to make the most out of every adventure.
Maggi Dawn is the author of Beginnings and Endings, Giving It Up, and The Writ-
ing on the Wall.

The Happiness Secret

Finding True Contentment
J. John
Written in a style that assumes no previous theological knowledge, this fresh look
at the Beatitudes—the sayings of Jesus that begin “blessed are”—examines what it
means to be blessed and how that relates to happiness today
In this thoughtful and uplifting exploration of happiness, inspirational speaker J. John
takes a look at the most famous teachings of Jesus—the Beatitudes—to find clues to
embracing a life of joy and fulfillment. He unpacks each of Jesus’ sayings, placing them
in their first-century context and also revealing how they are applicable today. Ulti-
mately, he suggests that happiness is not found by seeking it directly. Rather, seeking
a life of fulfillment will result in true and lasting happiness. Accessible and down to
earth, this is a practical guide to attaining fulfillment and meaning in life and the per-
fect inspirational read.
J. John is a Christian speaker and author whose titles include Breaking News and Ten.

Buddhism for Parents on the Go
Gems to Minimise Stress
Sarah Napthali
Designed with busy parents in mind, an easy-to-digest guide to mak-
ing the most of being a parent based on Buddhist principles, from the
author of the acclaimed Buddhism for Mothers
“A lovely book for anyone [who] wants to become more present in

their parenting.” —AmericanBuddhist.net on Buddhism for Moth-
ers of Young Children
“An eminently practical book that gives frazzled mothers usable ad-
vice and empathy . . . the approachable and authentic perspective of
a rank-and-file practitioner who lives the techniques and situations
she writes about.” —Publishers Weekly on Buddhism for Mothers
“If you liked her first book, Buddhism for Mothers, you’ll adore
this one. It’ll give you a new perspective on parenting and may even
help you enjoy it more.” —Sunday Telegraph on Buddhism for
Mothers of Young Children
Parenthood can be a time of great inner turmoil, yet parenting books in-
variably focus on nurturing children rather than the parents who strug-
gle to raise them. This book is different: it is an invaluable book for stressed
parents. It explores parents’ potential to be with their children in the all-
important present moment; to gain the most joy out of being with them.
Using Buddhist practices, Sarah Napthali offers ways of coping with the
day-to-day challenges of parenthood, ways that also allow space for the
deeper reflections about who we are and what makes us happy. From ad-
vice for the sleep deprived to dealing with the drama of toddler tantrums
and thoughts on teenage egocentrism, these teachings are presented in short
enough formats to digest on the run. This is Buddhism at its most acces-
sible, applied to the busy, daily realities of ordinary parents.
Sarah Napthali is a mother of two who tries to apply Buddhist teachings
in her daily life. She is the author of Buddhism for Mothers, Buddhism
for Mothers of Young Children (formerly published under the title of Bud-
dhism for Mothers with Lingering Questions), and Buddhism for Moth-
ers of Schoolchildren.

Sir Simon Marsden
A hauntingly beautiful photographic guide to the lore and
landscapes of the vampire, from the master of gothic
imagery
“This eerie, twilight world of dreams is a masterful vol-

ume that leaves Marsden as the Gothic photographer par

subjects, Marsden has traveled from Germany to the United
States, and Slovakia to Scotland as he hunts out the vampires
of myth and literature, and real individuals suspected of vam-
pirism. His images include sites of perennial fascination, such
as Vlad Dracul’s ruined palace in the wilderness of Romania,
and more recent places of vampire pilgrimage, like the Etr-
uscan city of Volterra in Italy, home to Twilight’s ancient vam-
pire coven. They are accompanied by his authoritative and
entrancing text, filled with rare discoveries and travelers’ tales,
plus extracts from classics such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and
an introduction that charts the secret history of the vampire
right up to the darkly romantic figure of today. Stunning, chill-
ing, this title will satisfy gothic devotees and prove a timeless
introduction for new fans of the vampire genre.

Afterlife
Uncovering the Secrets of Life After Death
Barry Eaton
A psychic intuitive answers all the most common questions about life after death,
along with remarkable firsthand accounts
Based on his own amazing experiences of life between lives and his numerous commu-
nications with those who have passed over, Barry Eaton answers the questions about
the spirit world that everyone is longing to ask. He discusses what happens when some-
one dies: what it feels like, what the tunnel experience is all about, and whether there
is any such thing as a life review. He also offers answers as to why some people find it
hard to leave places and loved ones behind, how those who die in accidents and other
sudden deaths fare, and how our grief impacts those who have passed on. He further
explains how those who have passed over see time, why they return to their soul fam-
ilies in spirit, whether they reincarnate, and if so, what input they have in their life
to come.
Barry Eaton is a journalist and broadcaster who hosts an internet radio show called Radio
Out There. He also gives lectures and one-on-one sessions as a psychic intuitive.

After-Death Communication
Emma Heathcote-James
Foreword by Judy Guggenheim
Containing testimonies from people from all walks of life, including such celebri-
ties as Paul McCartney and Robbie Williams, this is both a glimpse into a wider
spiritual reality and a practical guide to communicating with the deceased
“The definitive book about ADC. Warm, uplifting, and reassuring, it provides
the very evidence we need that our loved ones are ever near.” —Glennyce
Eckersley, author, Angel Wisdom
“Superb . . . it may change how you live your life.” —Dr. Jeffrey Long, MD,
After Death Communication Research Foundation, Tacoma, Washington
Describing the direct contact between the living and the deceased, this collection was
undertaken without the intervention of an intermediary such as a psychic or medium.
A product of years of painstaking work researching the phenomenon of after-death
communication (ADC), this extraordinary work collects hundreds of deeply poignant,
firsthand accounts from those who have been directly contacted by deceased loved
ones. The reader is left to decide whether these are mere hallucinations or manifes-
tations of something more significant. Response to Heathcote-James’ new research
has been genuinely startling, revealing that an amazing proportion of the popula-
tion believe that they have had after-death experiences. The weight of evidence may
well change the way readers consider the supernatural.
Emma Heathcote-James has a PhD in theology and is the author of Psychic Pets, See-
ing Angels, and They Walk Among Us. Judy Guggenheim is the founder of The ADC
Project and coauthor of Hello from Heaven.

They Walk Among Us

Emma Heathcote-James
Astonishing and compelling evidence that spirits can be made to appear in physi-
cal form and that everything supernatural can be explained by physics
Putting forward the best evidence yet of life after death, this book challenges the ac-
cepted ideas of exactly what humans are and what we become the moment after tak-
ing our final breaths. Drawing on scientific research from the author’s colleagues as
well as her own recordings and eyewitness accounts, and highlighting the phenome-
non of materialization mediumship—or spirits manifesting in solid forms in a séance
setting—the incredible cases revealed here may provide conclusive proof of an after-
life. Written in an accessible style, this book takes the field of psychic study into the
21st century and will appeal to anyone with an open mind and an interest in alter-
native views of what occurs after death.
Emma Heathcote-James has a PhD in theology and is the author of After-Death Com-
munication, Psychic Pets, and Seeing Angels.

There Are No Goodbyes
Guided By Angels—My Tour of the Spirit World
Paddy McMahon
A respected clairvoyant provides answers and comfort to questions regarding life
after death
For decades, Paddy McMahon has acted as a bridge between the spiritual and human
realms, helping people connect with their angels, or spirit guides. He believes that
we are born with spiritual connections to one or more angels, and if we want their
help in life we need to be open to receiving their assistance. What happens to us
when we die is bound to be a matter of curiosity for most, if not all people. Some
believe that when you’re dead, you’re dead. Others believe that we go on—but to
what? This book provides reassurance and answers to this and many other ques-
tions. The main object is to help people go through their existence on Earth secure
in the knowledge that life continues as an adventure towards complete freedom of
spirit, so that there’s no reason at all to be afraid of death.
Paddy McMahon is one of Ireland’s most respected clairvoyants and regularly com-
ments on issues of the spirit for the Irish press.

Conversations on Non-Duality
Twenty-Six Awakenings
Edited by Eleanora Gilbert
A fascinating compilation of the life stories of perfectly ordinary people and the dif-
ferent paths they’ve taken on their spiritual journey searching for oneness, complete-
ness, and unity
From a rich variety of backgrounds, the people profiled here have been through extraor-
dinary experiences leading to amazing new perceptions. They all shared a common sense
of dissatisfaction with their lives and a longing for happiness, connection, health, love, ful-
filling relationships, wealth, and freedom. As they reveal the means by which they each
went about achieving an end to their suffering—from therapy to study with gurus, their
stories range from funny to moving and tragic to inspiring, but there is a common element
in their engagement with nonduality. In simple terms, nonduality means no separation—
although it appears that there are separate individuals and objects in our world, in real-
ity there is only oneness. It is this realization that has transformed the lives of these 26
ordinary men and women from many cultures and from a wide range of social, economic,
and ethnic backgrounds. Here they share their insights and wisdom.

Ian Gawler
The Dragon’s Blessing
Guy Allenby
Foreword by Ian Gawler
Before Lance Armstrong and his bike, there was Ian Gawler and his inspirational fight
for survival against cancer—the inspiring life story of the cancer survivor, renowned
mind/body pioneer, and author of You Can Cure Cancer
“Ian Gawler is a man who has lived the message. He is an inspiration to all those
who are confronting their mortality due to serious illness. His story shows us how
we can make a difference and participate in our lives, our health, and our ability to
survive.” —Bernie Siegel, MD, author, Love, Medicine & Miracles
Through many hours of interviews and diary extracts, Ian Gawler reveals his amazing
story for the first time in this honest, unflinching, portrait. In 1974 at the age of 24, Dr.
Ian Gawler, an ambitious young veterinarian and athlete, developed bone cancer in his
right leg. The leg was amputated at the hip. The following year, the cancer spread to his
pelvis and chest. Gawler was told that nothing could be done and that he had only weeks
to live. This biography reveals in full how Gawler refused to give up in the face of these
challenges, and began studying meditation, following a strict diet, and pursuing an in-
tense regime of research, introspection, and personal development. Against all odds and
prognoses, his cancer began to retreat, and he was eventually declared clear of cancer in
1978. His legendary bestseller, You Can Conquer Cancer, was published in 1984, going
on to sell nearly 200,000 copies in more than 13 languages. Ian Gawler is now a world-
renowned pioneer in the therapeutic application of mind/body medicine and meditation.
His story is of an unorthodox, compassionate, and courageous fighter whose own jour-
ney has been an inspiration to the lives of so many others.
Guy Allenby is a journalist whose work has appeared in the Australian and the Sydney
Morning Herald.

Kathryn Marsden
How probiotics can help readers avoid MRSA, lower cholesterol, improve digestion, boost
the immune system, calm the side effects of antibiotics, control and limit the growth of
yeasts and parasites, treat constipation, and ease IBS
“Well researched and fun to read, Marsden includes the latest research, the facts on
probiotics and prebiotics, plus practical action plans for specific ailments.” —Health
& Fitness
Probiotic supplements are on their way to becoming the 21st-century must-have for main-
taining good health, and this book explains why good bacteria is needed to avoid, or over-
come, conditions caused by bad bacteria. It explains that there are more bacteria in a person’s
gut than the total number of cells in their body, and discusses why the good bacteria—or
probiotics—can benefit health. It also explains how following a different diet or taking safe
and effective probiotic supplements can increase the number of good bugs in a person’s body,
with amazing results. Written in an accessible, lively style this book reveals what probiotics
do, how they work, and how simple dietary changes can maximize their benefits.

Living Dolls
The Return of Sexism
Natasha Walter
A controversial, much-needed look at highly sexualized culture—from Bratz dolls to the
“empowerment” of pole-dancing classes
Long-listed for the Orwell Prize (Britain's most prestigious prize for politi-
cal writing)
“Excellent.” —Allison Pearson, author, I Don’t Know How She Does It
“An important book . . . Walter has started a discussion that needs to take place not
just between women, but between all of us.” —Times
“I once believed that we only had to put in place the conditions for equality for the rem-
nants of old-fashioned sexism in our culture to wither away. I am ready to admit that I was
wrong.”
Empowerment, liberation, choice—once the watchwords of feminism, these terms have now
been co-opted by a society that sells women an airbrushed, highly sexualized, and increas-
ingly narrow vision of femininity. Here, Natasha Walter argues that though women clearly
needed to break the cage of chastity, there is now a new cage holding them back from the
liberation they sought, a cage in which repression of emotions takes the place of repression
of physical needs. Drawing on a wealth of research and personal interviews with women
and men, this straight-talking, passionate, and important book makes readers look afresh
at women and girls, at sexism and femininity today.
Natasha Walter writes for many publications, including Vogue and the Observer. She is the founder and
director of the charity Women for Refugee Women and the author of The New Feminism.

The Quest for Meaning in the 21st Century
Susan Greenfield
From the effects of video games on childrens’ minds to government and corporations col-
lecting our private information, this is a stark warning from one of the world’s leading
neuroscientists about the threats posed by modern living to individuality, and what can
be done about it
“Susan Greenfield is often described as the foremost female scientist in Britain, but
she is one of the best of any gender, anywhere, at getting complicated ideas across.”
—Independent on Sunday
“Susan Greenfield has given us a synthesis which is challenging, original, readable,
and personal.” —Oliver Sacks on The Private Life of the Brain
Arguing that individuality is under attack as never before, Professor Susan Greenfield ar-
gues persuasively that two huge new forces—new technology and the rise in fundamental-
ism—are combining to threaten the control of individuals’ minds and the way society functions.
Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, she discusses to what extent individuals can
control the development of their brains and minds, and the actions that are needed now
both to safeguard individuality and to find the fulfillment which the current unfettered ma-
terialism cannot provide. She grapples with questions about human nature, the past, what
makes us individuals, the connection between the brain and the mind, and what a society
of fulfilled individuals would actually mean. Appealing to both a scientific and general au-
dience, this is an exploration of what it means to be human in a world of rapid change, a
passionately argued wake-up call, and an inspiring challenge to embrace creativity and forge
our own identities.
Susan Greenfield is a professor of pharmacology at Oxford University and has received 24
honorary degres from universities all over the world. A broadcaster, author, and one of the
world’s most respected neuroscientists, her books include The Human Brain and The Pri-
vate Life of the Brain.

Poems of Consolation in Time of Illness
Compiled by John Andrew Denny
A collection of poems to inspire and console those with debilitating illnesses
Compiled by a former sufferer of both myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and multiple
sclerosis (MS), this is a compassionate poetic companion through the journey of ill-
ness. Sections reflect on the the phases people commonly go through when dealing with
life-altering diseases, including the initial shock and realization of sickness; coming to
terms with an apparently diminished life; learning to be still and to be thankful; find-
ing new courage, resolve, and hope; seeking consolation in the cycles of nature; tak-
ing comfort in spiritual contemplation; and finally, facing the prospect of death and
accepting it peacefully. This is a sensitive companion for the sick that is perfect for any-
one who is suffering the disorienting consequences of illness, whether temporarily, chron-
ically, or terminally.

Lessons in Letting Go
Confessions of a Hoarder
Corinne Grant
An honest, uproariously funny, sometimes moving memoir of the year in which Corinne
Grant decides to do something about her hoarding
It took a year to drag myself out of the mess. A year in which I lost my dearest friend
and then promptly lost my way. A year in which I ran away overseas, came back and
then ran away again. A year in which I learnt to let go, learnt to forgive and learnt to
grow up. It was a big year. It was a lot of work. And I head-butted two people. Acci-
dentally.
This is the big-hearted story of how one of Australia’s leading comic talents learned to
reconcile love, loss, lack of closet space, and far too much stuff. From every scrunchie
she’s ever owned, to every pencil case and magazine, it’s time for it all to go. The prob-
lem is, getting rid of the stuff turns out to be much harder than she initially thought.
This delightful memoir is about hoarding and about how the things we hold on to can
end up dictating our lives. Warm, hilarious, candid, and insightful, Grant’s tale is about
the pain—but also the necessity and the joy—in learning to let go.
Corinne Grant is a stand-up comedian and television host. She has performed at the Ed-
inburgh Fringe Festival.

How to Get a Grip
Matthew Kimberley
Idiot-proof, antiself-help instructions that tell readers what they already know, yet
need desperately to hear
Anyone who implements these instructions will morph overnight from being a friend-
less, wimpy, and subservient doormat, perpetually vexed by the iniquities and raw deals
that life throws at them, to being a total superhero. And what's more—they'll have fun
while they do it. Everyone knows the key to having more energy has nothing to do with
crystals and chakras and everything to do with how much sleep one gets, but people still
choose reruns of Desperate Housewives over a good night’s shut-eye. Everyone knows
that neglecting their friends will leave them destitute and lonely but people are still too
damn lazy to pick up the phone and get in touch. Everyone knows they could get through
their to-do list in half the time, yet they still put in hours stalking their ex on Facebook.
Most people just need a kick up the backside—and that’s what this book offers. Those
who are sick of being mollycoddled by self-help that deals in platitudes and endless steps
for a new you should join this campaign to get their life back on track by telling them
what they already know. These are no-nonsense life lessons in life in plain language straight
from the successful blog www.howtogetagrip.com.

cial aspects of gastronomy. The text is peppered with classic favorite recipes and culinary
adventures, such as Raymond Blanc’s childhood hunts for wild asparagus or the roasting
of the first suckling pig in history. The book is beautfully illustrated with a selection of
prints, engravings, and line drawings from historical manuscripts; facsimiles of rare and
out-of-print cookbooks, and unseen prints from private collections. This treasure of the
best writing on food is sure to warm the cockles of every cook’s heart.

Food Britannia
Andrew Webb
A magnificent journey through the country’s culinary past and a celebration of today’s
vibrant food scene
Andrew Webb travels the country to bring together a treasury of regional and heroic local
producers. He investigates the history of saffron farming in the UK, tastes the first whisky
to be produced in Wales for 100 years, and tracks down the New Forest’s foremost
expert on wild mushrooms. And along the way, he uncovers some historical surprises—
for example, that the method for making clotted cream, that stalwart of the cream tea,
was probably introduced from the Middle East; and that fish and chips may have started
life as a Jewish-Portuguese dish. The result is a rich and kaleidoscopic survey of a remarkably
vibrant food scene, steeped in history but full of fresh ideas for the future.
Andrew Webb is a food journalist and photographer who has worked for the BBC as well
as Delicious magazine and Waitrose Kitchen magazine.

armpit. Fortunately for today’s drinkers, this compilation features popular and effec-
tive modern fixes taken from leading bartenders that use much more palatable ingre-

states and add a tonic of whimsy to this tasty blend of humor and sound advice.

Whisky Classified
10th Edition
David Wishart
Cutting through the confusing jargon often used to describe single malts, this book,
now fully updated, replaces it with an objective and easily applied guide to taste using
a new flavor profile
“This tabulated data provides the connoisseur with guidance in selecting a whisky
by comparing a favorite’s profile with the profile of an unknown. Each distillery’s
product also gets an entry covering its history and a longer, more vivid prose
description of the whisky’s flavor merits.” —Booklist
Rigorously researched with the cooperation of the whisky industry, this classification of
single malt whiskies by flavor has been totally revised and updated to include all the newest
single malts from the UK and Ireland. The author has identified 12 dimensions to the aroma
and taste of a single malt whisky: body, sweetness, smoky, medicinal, tobacco, honey, spicy,
winey, nutty, malty, fruity, and floral. For this edition, the author has also updated the taste
profiles for each selected malt and reviewed previous entries to ensure that this book re-
mains the definitive guide to tasting malt whisky. Each entry includes a short description
of the distillery, information for visitors, the author’s own tasting notes, and his flavor
profiles according to this innovative classification. The history of whisky-making and pro-
duction methods are clearly explained, as is how to organize a whisky tasting.
David Wishart is a statistician who has published the technical aspects of this book in inter-
national journals and presented it at scientific conferences, seminars, and whisky festivals.

Animal London
Ianthe Ruthven
Dragons guarding gateways, elephants in parks, sea monsters on gables—
this quirky guidebook introduces the animals that hide amidst the iconic
London landscape
London is full of animals. They are hidden in crumbling graveyards, daubed
in canal-bank graffiti, and perched atop rooftops, but in the hustle-and-
bustle at street level they are all too often overlooked. This guidebook full
of gorgeous photography brings to life the animal artworks that give Lon-
don its unique character. From rabbits, owls, dogs, and cats to tortoises, dol-
phins, sharks, and gorillas, a menagerie of creatures inhabits every corner of
the city from Tobacco Docks to Crystal Palace, Bankside to Hackney. They
span both ancient and modern too: monstrous medieval gargoyles lurk down
damp alleyways, while in a modern urban wasteland there lives a
“mechanosaurous” made out of car parts by scrap merchants. From the mo-
ment a reader spies one in the undergrowth of a neglected park, or spots for
the first time one clinging to the parapet of a classic landmark, they will have
embarked on a remarkable topographical treasure hunt.
Ianthe Ruthven is a photographer specializing in landscape, architecture, and interi-
ors. She has contributed such publications as Architectural Digest and The World of
Interiors, and her previous books include The Irish Home and The Scottish House.

Hidden City
The Secret Alleys, Courts & Yards of London’s Square Mile
David Long
Foreword by Michael Bear, Lord Mayor of London
An insider’s guide to the hidden nooks and crannies of London, and the fasci-
nating stories behind them, with a foreword by the Lord Mayor of London
The real London is often to be found not in its more famous streets and squares
but in the small and obscure places which so many visitors miss. David Long un-
covers these forgotten locations and brings to life their fascinating history. The
streetscape of London’s historic square mile has been evolving for centuries, but
the city’s busy commercial heart still boasts an extensive network of narrow pas-
sages and alleyways, secret squares and half-hidden courtyards. Most are ancient
survivors dating back to medieval times or earlier, their colorful and evocative names
recalling old taverns, trades, and city traditions. Hidden behind the glass, steel, and
stone of the banks and big business, these little corners continue to bear witness
to nearly 2,000 years of British history.
David Long is a writer and journalist who has regularly appeared in the Times and
the London Evening Standard. He has written a number of books on London, in-
cluding Little Book of London and Spectacular Vernacular. Michael Bear, Lord
Mayor of London is the 683rd Lord Mayor of the city of London, whose one-year
term began on November 12, 2010.

London’s City Churches

Stephen Millar
From the earliest medieval remains to the handful of churches rebuilt after 1945, this
pocket guide includes some of London’s finest architecture
The sanctity of the church has prevented London’s churches from being redeveloped or
altered in any significant way, and so they remain historical islands while the environ-
ment around them has changed beyond recognition. This guide is packed with information
about the history and architecture of these fascinating churches. For those wanting to
walk in the footsteps of Wren, Pepys, and Shakespeare there are details of opening times,
events such as concerts, and three church walks to follow.
Stephen Millar is the author of London’s Hidden Walks. He has written and provided
photographs for a number of magazines and books including the Independent on
Saturday.

laxation, and recreation amid the urban sprawl. This authoritative guide contains detailed
reviews of London’s park and gardens, and offers fascinating accounts of their history as

ing a good coffee. The city’s parks include the vast expanse of Hyde Park in the center of

London’s Monuments
Second edition
Andrew Kershman
From Queen Boudicca’s fight against the Romans to Nelson Mandela’s struggle against
apartheid, readers can walk among the statuary of the capital and bring history to life
London has more than 300 monuments which are easily unnoticed but have fascinating tales
to tell, and with detailed maps and stunning photos, this handbook is a great way to un-
cover the many tales surrounding them. Where else can visitors find a monument to an emas-
culated lion made from a mysterious ceramic or the figure of an 18th-century radical thinker
who was hounded from his home by an angry mob? The monument to Quintin Hogg com-
memorates one of the country’s great philanthropists who dedicated much of his life to teach-
ing street children and was nearly murdered several times for his efforts. The less worthy
figure of George IV has a much grander monument—which is not surprising as he paid for
the monument himself using public funds. The good, the bad, the courageous, and the cow-
ardly all have a permanent place on the streets of London.
Andrew Kershman is the author of Bargain Hunters’ London and The London Market Guide.

London’s Cemeteries
Darren Beach
Where can a London visitor find a dog guarding his master’s grave for eternity, an Ara-
bian tent of stone commemorating a great explorer, or the cemetery that inspired Bram
Stoker’s Dracula?
Giving visitors all the information needed to explore more than 80 cemeteries, this pocket
guide features detailed reviews for each cemetery complete with a who’s who of famous
permanent residents, opening times, and travel information. London’s cemeteries are places
of peace and tranquility, but they are also a fascinating barometer of the city’s social his-
tory. Intriguing stories of courage, personal triumph, and domestic tragedy lie behind the
gravestones and mausolea, many of which are masterpieces of commemorative art. Today
London’s cemeteries are also valued as a habitat for flora and fauna and are great desti-
nations for wildlife lovers.
Darren Beach divides his time between London and Tokyo, and writes for magazines and
websites in both cities. He is a former broadcast journalist at BBC Sport and ITV-F1.

London’s Houses
Vicky Wilson
An invitation and guidebook to the best homes in London, from Ben Franklin’s to
Sherlock Holmes’
“The book, like an attic, is full of oddities, but also of history, architectural detail,
gossip and facts. Vicky Wilson writes knowledgably about the bricks and mortar—
but also vividly about the people who lived in these houses over the ages.” —Times
London has an amazing range of houses regularly open to the public, and this book cov-
ers them all. Architects from Robert Adam to Ernö Goldfinger are represented. In social
terms, the spectrum runs from the destitute who filled the workhouse now known as Vestry
House in Walthamstow, to aristocrats and royalty busily building and coupling in Kens-
ington and Twickenham. With architectural details, social history, biographies, and prac-
tical information, this book provides everything visitors need to plan a trip back through
the centuries.
Vicky Wilson is the coauthor of Kids London and has been a regular reviewer for Sight
& Sound magazine.

England’s Lost Houses
From the Archives of Country Life
Giles Worsley
A moving testimony to the destroyed houses of the past century, and an explo-
ration of the forces behind the loss of these architectural glories
Of all the photographs in the Country Life archive, none are more poignant than
the images of houses that have been lost through demolition or fire. From Uffing-
ton House, Lincolnshire, a fine Restoration house burned in 1904, to the Rococo
magnificence of Nuthall temple, Nottinghamshire, its site now buried under the
M1 motorway, this book explores one of the saddest chapters in English 20th-
century history. Giles Worsley’s incisive text makes this more than just an elegy—
by studying the circumstances behind 100 houses that are gone, he is able to ex-
plain why such a large number were destroyed in the last century. He discusses how
many houses were lost as great landowners, responding to economic and political
changes, sold off secondary estates and demolished palatial houses of the 19th cen-
tury. He also examines how chance played its part, with fire emerging as one of
the chief causes of destruction.
Giles Worsley (1961–2006) was the architecture correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph, an architectural editor of Country Life, and the editor of Perspectives on
Architecture. He is the author of The British Stable and Inigo Jones and the Eu-
ropean Classicist Tradition.

Shit London
Snapshots of a City on the Edge
Patrick Dalton
A warts-and-all tour of the real London and the comic potential
on every street corner
England’s capital of culture, finance, fashion, and forward thinking,
London is a city where the ancient meets the modern, the chic, and,
well, the shit. This book explores the world of ill-conceived commu-
nity art, poorly named shops, cheeky graffiti, bad translations, com-
ical signs, and the unintentionally funny scenes that surround
Londoners everyday. Despite the best efforts to smarten up the city
before the 2012 Olympics, local pockets of immeasurable crumminess
still abound in neighborhoods and boroughs. Hidden behind the ar-
chitectural delights, history, and bright lights exists a world that proves
London is a world-class provider of bad taste and all-round awful-
ness. Revel in the rubbish that surrounds all Londoners—it may make
you feel better about where you live.
Patrick Dalton is a radio producer who worked for many years at the
BBC and now freelances. He has lived in London his entire life.

The Backpacker
John Harris
For fans of Alex Garland’s The Beach, a true story of out-of-control travel
“Lord of the Flies for the bored 20-something generation. Written in an accessible
and conversational style, it’s a book you’ll find hard to put down and a story you’ll
find equally hard to believe.” —Adventure Travel
“Leaving the blinding sand for the cool shade of the trees, I walked carefully through
the undergrowth to where Dave, using two twigs as chopsticks, was picking up a freshly
severed human finger . . .”
John’s trip to India starts badly when his girlfriend, with whom he is traveling, returns
home. Left to his own devices, he soon finds himself looking at the sharp end of a knife
in a train station cubicle. But his life is saved—and turned upside down—by Rick, an
enigmatic fellow traveler who persuades John to question his mundane plans for the fu-
ture, risking it all for much, much more. Fast forward to the Thai island of Koh Pha-
Ngan, where John, Rick, and their new friend Dave pose as millionaire aristocrats in a
hedonistic Eden of beautiful women, free drugs, and wild beach parties. However, when
they find themselves hotly pursued by the Thai Mafia, they embark on adrenaline-fu-
eled journeys to Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, and Hong Kong, facing danger at every
turn. This is not travel writing for the faint of heart: this is an unbelievable true story
of the hunt for excess, at any cost.
John Harris has traveled for many years, including as a building instructor in Nigeria
through Voluntary Service Overseas.

Fear of Hat Loss in Las Vegas

Brendon Burns
A true-life travel tale of fate, coincidence, drugs, stand-up comedy, mushrooms, hook-
ers, aliens, Vegas, and massive debauchery, from an award-winning comedian
This is the true story of four men—Brendon Burns and his friends Barry Castagnola (the
everyman), Paul Provenza (an Italian New Yorker, devout atheist, actor, and movie di-
rector), and Keith (Barry’s dad and best friend)—and their search for happiness and re-
demption in the heart of the Nevada desert. In early October 2004, Brendon Burns—a
delusional, god-fearing drug addict, manic depressive, and award-winning comedian—
has a vision of happiness. He imagines himself sitting with two friends in a convertible
in the middle of a desert, and for once he feels totally in control of his life. With the
(slightly inebriated) voices in his head assuring him that he can recreate this perfect mo-
ment, he clearly has no choice but to gather the troops and head to the U.S. in pursuit
of his dream. Demented, depraved, dangerously addictive, and yet with a deep heart,
soul, and spirit, this is a tale of debauchery, fate, coincidence, comedy, and, ultimately,
friendship. Rude, insane, and in your face, it is the story of the perfect road trip. What
happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—unless of course it’s really funny.
Brendon Burns is a stand-up comic whose career began, alongside Sacha Baron Cohen
and Ricky Gervais, on The Eleven O’Clock Show. He has written, performed, and pro-
duced eight live comedy albums and two DVDs, and is the 2007 recipient of the Acad-
emy Award of live comedy: the Edinburgh festival prize (formerly the Perrier). He has
been a guest on the Showtime series The Green Room with Paul Provenza.

Peter Kerr
How a Scotsman and his family lived the dream, making their vacation home per-
manent—and how the local neighbors helped them endure that “dream”
“This charming, cheerful book will appeal to anyone looking for a different take
on Spain and Majorca.” —Library Journal
When the Kerr family leaves Scotland to grow oranges in a secluded valley on the is-
land of Mallorca they are surprised to be greeted by the same freezing weather they left
behind. They realize that their new orange farm is a bit of a lemon. Laughter, finds Peter
Kerr, is the best medicine when faced with a local dish of rats and the live-chicken-down-
a-chimney technique of household maintenance. But their Mallorcan neighbors help them
adapt to their new life in this hilarious and revealing memoir, full of life and color, set
against the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean.
Peter Kerr is the author of a series of books set in Mallorca that have sold more than
180,000 copies and been translated into many languages. Mañana Mañana was short-

Goats from a Small Island

Grabbing Mallorcan Life by the Horns
Witty, pithy, and brimming with memorable characters, Anna’s third book about work-

of life
Life is never simple for PR consultant Anna Nicholas as she attempts to cut loose her
ties with London for a rural existence in Mallorca with her family. Despite nearing her
dream to open a cattery, she is thrown off course by the abduction of her beloved toad,
a scorpion infestation, getting lost in the hills, and a growing fixation with ancient goats.
Meanwhile, in London she’s coping with loopy new clients—an amorous rock climber,
a Bulgarian transvestite couturier, and a couple of warring designers.

capism to a much more complicated story about the difficulties of balancing a life

The dream is near completion. Anna is loosening the reins on her London PR company
to spend more time in Mallorca with her family, cattery, chickens, and goats, and insists
their menagerie will only be complete with not one donkey, but two. She attempts al-
mond harvesting in the countryside amid summertime ant and wasp infestations, and at-
tends a traditional wedding and the spectacular Sant Juan horse festival in Menorca.
Meanwhile, she befriends an elderly poet whose love letters to his fiancée during the Span-
ish Civil War waft into her field, unveiling a poignant story of bravery and sacrifice.

land, traveling by Greyhound bus and busking Elvis songs along the way
Nominated for the Australian/Vogel Literary Award
When Shady Cosgrove, a young American immigrant to Australia, realizes that America
doesn’t necessarily feel like “home” anymore, she sets out with her Australian boyfriend
to rediscover her homeland. As part of the journey, the pair decide to make a pilgrimage
across America to get to Graceland for the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of Elvis
Presley’s death, with Shady busking and singing Elvis songs at cities and towns along the
way. As they travel across the U.S., memories of her past begin to surface, and Shady re-
alizes that while she is coming to understand the meaning of “home,” she is also untan-
gling the knotted threads of her difficult relationship with her estranged, erratic, unreliable,
and often violent father. A moving, witty, and original meditation on the idea of pilgrimage,
family, home, and loss, this classic road story details a journey of self-discovery set to an
Elvis soundtrack and told with a clear-eyed, intelligent, unforgettable, grace.
Shady Cosgrove teaches creative writing. Her work has appeared in Antipodes, Best Aus-
tralian Stories 2006, Overland, and Southerly.

One Man, One Bike and the First Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil
Paul Carter
In the spirit of Ewan and Charlie’s Long Way Round, another hilarious, high-octane,
seat-of-the-pants adventure from the slightly crazy Paul Carter circumnavigating Aus-
tralia on a biodiesel motorcycle
“Great two-fisted writing from the far side of hell.” —John Birmingham, author,
Weapons of Choice on Don’t Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs: She Thinks I Play Piano
in a Whorehouse
At 40 years old, a successful writer, husband, and father, no longer toiling on offshore drilling
rigs, was Paul Carter happily nestled in the cotton wool of suburban life enjoying the fruits
of his labor? Not likely. With his manic life left far behind and the perfect opportunity to
take it easy stretched before him what else would a middle-aged, bike-obsessed, man want?
Yes, that’s right, he’d want to be the first guy to ride around Australia on an underpow-
ered experimental motorcycle that runs on used cooking oil, wouldn’t he? He embarks on
a rollicking, often unhinged, and downright dangerous quest that starts on an environmentally
friendly motorcycle built on a shoestring budget by students, and ends with a plan to break
the motorcycle land speed record for biofuel. Lovely irony—the ride is sponsored by oil
companies. Carter is back to his old balls-to-the-wall style of writing, so readers should

In the Dolphin’s Wake
Cocktails, Calamities and Caiques in the Greek Islands
Harry Bucknall
An amusing and erudite account of Harry Bucknall’s 183-day journey through
the Greek islands from Venice, in the West, to Istanbul, in the East
In the summer of 2006, Harry Bucknall traveled from Venice to Istanbul—a journey
across the Aegean of more than 5,500 miles that included the glories of Mount Athos,
36 islands, and every island chain in the Greek Archipelago. It also involved 57 sea
passages on 35 ferries, four landing craft, three hydrofoils, a fishing caique, a sea
plane, 11 buses, two trains, an open-top Land Rover, and a duck egg blue 1961 Mor-
ris Oxford. Recounted with humor, pathos, and at times drama, this is not only a
journey through the Greek islands but also a journey through Greek history, mythol-
ogy, custom, and folklore—a Greek island companion loaded with adventure, mishap,
and laughter offering a contemporary image of Aegean life today.
Harry Bucknall is a theater producer, theater reviewer, and travel writer. He has writ-
ten for Country Life, the Irish Independent, the Spectator, the Sunday Telegraph, Sun-
day Times Travel Magazine, and various other travel publications.

Tehran, Lipstick and Loopholes

Najal Tajadod
Translated by Adriana Hunter
A fascinating and funny portrait of daily life in Tehran, with all its complexities and
contradictions, as seen through the eyes of a woman returned to her native country
from France, trying to renew her passport
“Gives us a new perspective on the Iranian society and its people, it mixes critical
humor with compassion.” —Azar Nafisi, author, Reading Lolita in Tehran
“Takes the reader on a Picaresque journey through modern-day Iran. . . . Tajadod’s
exasperated, yet noncondemnatory tone is most refreshing.” —Independent
“Tajadod . . . uses fiction as a vessel for truth.” —Booklist on Rumi: The Fire
of Love
In a wry and humorous account of Nahal Tajadod’s week-long quest to get her Iranian
passport renewed, she embarks on a bizarre and circuitous journey, meeting a colorful
cast of characters along the way: two photographers who specialize in Islamic portraits,
a forensic surgeon who trades in human organs, and a grandmother who offers a live
chicken to an implacable official. This is a fascinating look at the constraints and con-
tradictions of contemporary life in Tehran from the author’s unique standpoint of being
both a native of Iran and a foreigner.
Nahal Tajadod was born in Tehran in 1960 and moved to France in 1971. She is the
author of the fictional biography Rumi: The Fire of Love. Adriana Hunter is the Eng-
lish translator of such titles as The Girl Who Played Go, How I Became Stupid, and
The Sexual Life of Catherine M. She has been short-listed for the Independent Foreign
Fiction Prize several times.

Walking Back to Happiness

Christine Palmer
The inspirational story of one woman’s journey along the ancient and beautiful
Camino De Santiago, in search of some peace of mind, a fitter body, and a
great tan
As a 50-something woman whose children had flown the nest, Christine Palmer found
herself wanting to rediscover her lust for life and lose some of the pounds she’d gained.
With old gym shoes, a new diet, and a revitalized sense of adventure, Christine em-
barks on an “accidental pilgrimage,” walking 850kms from St Jean Pied de Port in
France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Over the course of her charmingly nar-
rated journey, she reflects on diets, exercise, relationships, and life in general, while
hoping to fit back into a beautiful white Bellini top that had been languishing at the
back of her closet for longer than she cared to remember.
Christine Palmer is a former program creator for the BBC who now runs a bed and
breakfast and gallery with her husband in France.

Discovery Road
Andy Brown and Tim Garratt
Foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes
The inspiring story of the first people to ride mountain bikes across the vast deserts
of Australia, the dangerous bushlands of Africa, and the mountains of South America
Fed up and disillusioned with corporate life, Andy persuaded Tim to leave his job and
cycle around the world—convinced there could be more to life. Their goal was to become
the first people to ride mountain bikes unsupported across the three southern continents
and, in doing so, to raise money for the charity Intermediate Technology. This is a fastt-
moving tale of self-discovery, full of adventure, conflict, humor, danger, and a multitude
of colorful characters. Much more than a travelogue, it proves ordinary people can chase
great dreams.
Andy Brown is a former petroleum executive and Tim Garratt is a former teacher. They
are the cofounders of the charity Intermediate Technology. Sir Ranulph Fiennes is an ex-
plorer and the author of Beyond the Limits and Race to the Pole.

Foreword by Ray Mears
The absolutely inspiring true tale of a young couple who gave up the “good life” in
England to start a new life in the wilderness of the Yukon
“A great read, full of escapism and gentle humour.” —Globe and Mail

pelling account of their adventures. Buying a piece of land in the forest just outside Daw-

Baghdad Business School

The Challenges of a War Zone Start Up
Heyrick Bond Gunning
The realities of a business start-up in a war-torn Iraq—it’s not like this at Harvard
“Amusing and very brave.” —Forbes

“He vividly describes how it feels to be thrown in at the deep end.” —Economist
Heyrick was on the first civilian plane into Baghdad after the airport had been secured.
Armed with a camp bed, some baked beans, and a wallet full of greenbacks, his mission
was to establish a foothold for one of the world’s largest logistics businesses in one of
the world’s most inhospitable markets. This book charts the challenges, the characters,
the comedy, and the catastrophe of trying to do business in a war zone. It also provides
a unique perspective on the Iraq conflict; not of another journalist, soldier, or politician
but of a businessman with unusual balls.
Heyrick Bond Gunning is the managing director of Salamanca Risk Management, advising
companies that are looking to do business in difficult environments, particularly the Mid-
dle East. He previously consulted to DHL for a year in Iraq, flying into the country the
day the second Gulf War ended and setting up a business with annual revenues in excess
of $70 million. He served five years in the British Army, which included operational tours
in Northern Ireland and the Balkans.

Mugabe and the White African
Ben Freeth
Foreword by Desmond Tutu
An intimate account of one family’s astonishing bravery in the face
of brutality, as well as perhaps the outside world’s only real glimpse
of what it is like to live inside the terror of Mugabe’s Zimbabwe
“Superb . . . Thought-provoking, distressing, shockingly tense,

and always very sad, it is surely one of the best documentaries
of the year.” —Time Out on the documentary
“Potent mix of suspense, pathos, and indignation.” —Variety
on the documentary
“Freeth lays bare a beautiful but lawless land fouled by fear. A
‘Clockwork Orange’ state where racism, greed and violence are
ultimately humbled by almost unimaginable courage. Richly de-
scribed, bravely chronicled, and utterly compelling.” —Mike
Thompson, BBC Radio’s Foreign Affairs Correspondent
Ben Freeth has an extraordinary story to tell. Like that of many white
farmers, his family’s land was “reclaimed” by Mugabe’s government
for redistribution—but Ben’s family fought back. Appealing to in-
ternational law, they instigated a suit against Mugabe’s government
in the SADC, the Southern African equivalent of NATO. The case was
deferred time and again while Mugabe’s men applied political pres-
sure to have the case thrown out. But after Freeth and his parents-
in-law were abducted and beaten within inches of death in 2008, the
SADC deemed any further delay to be an obstruction of justice. The
case was heard, and successful on all counts. But the story doesn’t end
there—in 2009, the family farm was burned to the ground. The fight
for justice in Zimbabwe is far from over; this book is for anyone who
wants to see into the heart of one of today’s hardest places, and how
human dignity flourishes even in the most adverse circumstances.
Ben Freeth is a British-born Zimbabwean farmer who successfully sued
Mugabe in an international court in 2008. His family's story was made
into a widely viewed documentary, Mugabe and the White African,
which won several international awards and was short-listed for an
Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature in 2010. Desmond
Tutu is a South African activist and Christian cleric who rose to world-
wide fame during the 1980s as an opponent of apartheid. He has cam-
paigned to fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, homophobia, transphobia,
poverty, and racism, and is a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, the
Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism, the Gandhi Peace Prize,
and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Cry Havoc
Simon Mann
For the first time since he was released from five years’ incarceration in some of
Africa’s toughest prisons, making worldwide headlines, Simon Mann breaks his
silence to tell everything
Simon Mann’s remarkable firsthand account of his life reads like a thriller, taking read-
ers into the world of mercenaries and spooks, of murky international politics, big oil
and big bucks, action, danger, love, despair, and betrayal. On March 7, 2004, former
SAS soldier and mercenary Simon Mann prepared to take off from Harare Interna-
tional Airport. His destination was Equatorial Guinea; his intention was to remove
one of the most brutal dictators in Africa in a privately organized coup d’etat. The
plot had the tacit approval of Western intelligence agencies and Mann had planned,
overseen, and won two wars in Angola and Sierra Leone. So why did it go so wrong?
Here he reveals the full involvement of Mark Thatcher in the coup d’etat, the en-
dorsement of a former prime minister, and the financial involvement of two interna-
tionally famous members of the House of Lords. He also discusses how the British
government approached him in the months preceding the Iraq War, to suggest ways
in which a justified invasion of Iraq could be engineered. He also discusses the pain
of telling his wife Amanda, who gave birth to their fourth child while he was incar-
cerated, that he believed he would never be freed.
Simon Mann is a British mercenary and former British Army officer. He had been serv-
ing a 34-year prison sentence in Equatorial Guinea for his role in a failed coup d’é-
tat in 2004, before receiving a presidential pardon on humanitarian grounds in
November 2009.

A State of Fear
Reza Ghaffari
A prominent Iranian political prisoner tells his story from the time of his arrest
to his eventual escape a decade later
Dr. Reza Ghaffari was a professor at the University of Tehran until his 1981 ar-
rest for suspicion of being a member of a banned socialist group. This account of
his experiences through 10 years of torture and as a witness to—and near victim
of—prison massacres offers unparalleled insight into the torturous treatment of
political prisoners who oppose the Iranian regime. Nothing written in English or
in Persian has so comprehensively and movingly portrayed prison conditions and
the strength of those suffering them—not merely a catalogue of atrocities, it is also
a tale of triumph for integrity and the human spirit in the face of the utmost degra-
dation. In 1999 the Iranian authorities came looking for Dr. Ghaffari in London
and he was moved to a “safe house” by MI6 where he stayed for close to a year.
After 9/11, the terrorist threat level in the UK was raised and Dr. Ghaffari was al-
lowed back to his family with greater surveillance on his house. The years of tor-
ture have taken their toll on his health but he has refused to be intimidated and is
as determined as ever that his story should be told. The fatwah imposed against
author Salman Rushdie for writing The Satanic Verses scared many publishers into
refusing to print this book, A State of Fear, in English.

Behind the Black Door
Sarah Brown
In a warm, personal memoir about life at 10 Downing Street, Sarah Brown shares
her experiences as the wife of the British Prime Minister
Today, Gordon’s words are simple and heartfelt. He promises, as his own school motto
said, “to do his utmost.” I know that the same will go for me, too. We turn to the door,
greeting the policeman on duty. It is time to play our part in contributing to what hap-
pens next in government and a new life behind the black door.
Intimate, reflective, surprising, and funny, this book takes readers backstage to reveal
what it’s like to be an ordinary woman, wife, and mother in extraordinary circumstances.
Sarah gave up a successful business career to serve her country and champion count-
less charities around the world, and found herself living a life that included attending
Nelson Mandela’s birthday party, giving speeches in front of Barbra Streisand, grow-
ing vegetables with Michelle Obama, and discussing Darfur with George Clooney. For
readers who have ever wondered what it’s like to travel with national security forces,
pack for a photo op with supermodels, or pause a speech in front of hundreds when
the teleprompter fails, it’s all here—from what to do when the school play clashes with
a visit to the White House to what it feels like to support the man you love as he makes
tough decisions to stave off global financial meltdown.
Sarah Brown is the president of the charity PiggyBankKids, a patron of a number of
charities including the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, and a co-chair of
the High Level Leadership Group on Maternal and Infant Mortality convened by the
Global Leaders Network. She mobilized hundreds of thousands of people through her
early adoption of Twitter where her legion of followers engaged with her on everything
from repression in Burma to diversity in British fashion.

The Third Man

Life at the Heart of New Labour
Peter Mandelson
The revelatory memoir of one of the New Labor’s three founding architects is devoted
to the “soap opera” years of Labor government and the breakdown of relationships
between Mandelson, Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown
“There is a degree of anticipation in the air. [The book] deals with everything right
up until the recent election that Gordon Brown lost.” —Wall Street Journal blog
“Fluently written and substantial, this is a serious book by a serious man whose
love of theatre, performance and the high life have sometimes masked his deep con-
viction and his implacable loyalty to the Labour Party.” —Telegraph
“A surprisingly compelling account of the New Labour years, far more revealing
and subtle than the fuss over the serialization suggests. Nearly every page is illumi-
nating, sometimes in unintentional ways. The book should be read by anyone re-
motely interested in politics, psychiatry, and theatre. There is enough material for
specialists in all three areas to last a lifetime.” —Independent
Drawing heavily on detailed diary notes he took during the events that shaped the British
government for more than 25 years, Peter Mandelson tells his story of a life played out
in the backrooms and on the frontlines of the Labor Party during its unprecedented three
terms in government. This mixture of autobiography, personal reflection, and political
history was begun while he served as European Commissioner, and he completed it after leaving office in May 2010. His reve-
lations include that the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown became so hostile that Blair described his chancel-
lor as “mad, bad, dangerous, and beyond redemption” and likened Brown’s behavior to that of a “mafioso” in his dealings with
him. Much has been written about Mandelson as the person at the heart of the New Labor project, but here is the unvarnished
truth from the man himself.
Peter Mandelson was forced to resign from cabinet twice in three years and has cut a divisive figure through British politics.
He was a highly regarded European Commissioner before being brought back into British politics by Gordon Brown in 2008
to serve as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, and Skills and as First Secretary.

Martin Luther King
Richard S. Reddie
An intimate and comprehensive behind-the-scenes portrait of one of America’s most fa-
mous civil rights activists, focusing on the socio-political developments which led to his
untimely death
“Accessible and sensitive.” —Kirkus Reviews on Abolition!

Martin Luther King Jr.’s public life lasted only 13 years—yet in that time, he changed the
United States’ attitude toward civil rights forever and is still an inspiration to human rights
movements today. He has become the epitome of courage, self-denial, compassion, and rec-
onciliation, and exemplifies the belief that moral pressure and force of character can over-
come great obstacles. But who was the real Martin Luther King Jr.? This question and more
are addressed in this lively, highly informative, and thought-provoking reappraisal of the
famous man, showing how King was not a “moderate” but a radical individual whose ideas
on peace, war, poverty, social justice, and equality were well ahead of his time. It demon-
strates how in the mid-1960s, King broadened his approach to include human rights issues
as well as civil rights, and how it was this socio-political development which most concerned
his detractors and hastened his downfall.
Richard S. Reddie was project director for the Churches Together in England’s initiative to
mark the bicentenary of the 1807 Abolition of the Slave Trade Act. He was also education
policy officer for Race on the Agenda, a social policy think-tank that has been in existence
for more than two decades and focuses on issues that affect black, Asian, and minority eth-
nic communities. He is the author of Abolition!: The Struggle to Abolish Slavery in the British
Colonies.

The Palestine Papers

The End of the Road?
Clayton E. Swisher
Introduction by Dr. Ghada Karmi
Documents from the classified papers leaked to Al-Jazeera in January give the clearest
account yet of what really goes on in Middle East peace talks, including revealing off-
the-record remarks made by Condoleezza Rice, Tony Blair, Mahmoud Abbas, and other
key players
In January 2011, Al-Jazeera television published 1,600 pages of confidential papers and
memoranda from the last five years of peace negotiations between Israel and the Pales-
tinians. This book presents complete texts of a number of the most important papers, along
with an analysis that reveals a complex, tortuous, and so far unproductive Palestine-Is-
raeli peace process, in a rare, unfiltered look at a current topic as it unfolds. Issues dis-
cussed include the Israeli illegal settlements, the Hamas rockets, the Israeli Wall, the invasion
of Gaza, the rights of Palestinian refugees, and the move to define Israel as an exclusively
Jewish state. For the first time it is possible to compare public utterances, such as “the
settlements must go” from Palestine and “we want the Palestinians to have a viable state”
from Israel and the U.S., with the very different views expressed in confidential meetings
and memoranda.
Clayton E. Swisher is the head of the Al-Jazeera Transparency Unit and the author of The
Truth About Camp David. Dr. Ghada Karmi is a Palestinian academic and the author of
In Search of Fatima.

The New Machiavelli
How to Wield Power in the Modern World
Jonathan Powell
Illustrating each of Machiavelli’s maxims with a description of events that occurred
during Tony Blair’s time as prime minister, Blair’s former close adviser gives a devas-
tating, frank, and insightful analysis of how power is wielded in the modern world
“Intriguing and engaging . . . sets up fascinating parallels that prove there is really
nothing new in politics.” —Financial Times
“Gloriously indiscreet.” —Sunday Times
“It is not just another memoir of the period, it is about the best. . . . A fascinating
book.” —Guardian
In a 21st-century reworking of Niccolò Machiavelli’s influential masterpiece, Jonathan
Powell argues that the Italian philosopher is misunderstood, and explains how the les-
sons derived from his experience as an official in 15th-century Florence can still apply
today. Drawing on his own unpublished diaries during his time as Blair’s chief of staff,
Powell gives a frank account of the intimate details of the internal political struggles, in-
cluding the failure to join the Euro or hold a referendum on the European constitution;
the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo; the peace negotiations in Northern Ireland;
and the relations with Clinton, Bush, and Chirac. Short, stark, and clear—much like The
Prince—this gripping account of life inside “the bunker” of Number 10 draws lessons
from those experiences, not just for political leaders but for anyone who has access to
the levers of power.
Jonathan Powell served as chief of staff to British Prime Minister Tony Blair from his
election in 1997 until his resignation in 2007. The only senior member of staff to remain
at Blair’s side throughout his time at the top of British politics, he was described by the
Guardian as being “at the heart of all [Blair’s] key foreign policy initiatives.” He is now
senior managing director of Morgan Stanley’s investment banking division.

The Freedom Paradox

Towards a Post-secular Ethics
Clive Hamilton
A radical reconsideration of the meaning of freedom and morality in the modern world,
boldly arguing that the Western pursuit of personal freedom is the underlying cause
of rising depression and consumerism
“An interesting, open-minded reflection mercifully free from fashionable opinion,

dogma or ideology.” —Australian Literary Review
“Right on target and badly needed.” —Noam Chomsky on Growth Fetish
The past two centuries delivered individual and political freedoms that promised un-
precedented opportunities for personal fulfillment, yet citizens of affluent countries are
encouraged to pursue lives of consumerism, endless choice, and the pleasures of the body.
Clive Hamilton argues here that the paradox of modern consumer life is that people are
deprived of inner freedom by the very pursuit of their own desires. He turns to meta-
physics to find a source of transformation that lies beyond the cultural, political, and so-
cial philosophies that form the bedrock of contemporary Western thought. His search takes
him to an unexpected conclusion: that we cannot be truly free unless we commit our-
selves to a moral life. The implications of this conclusion are profound, and they chal-
lenge many deeply held beliefs in modern secular society. This bold and important work
goes to the heart of what it means to be human.
Clive Hamilton is the author of Affluenza, Growth Fetish, and Requiem for a Species.

Pictures, Passions and Eye: A Life at Sotheby’s
Michel Strauss
A fascinating insider’s view into 40 years at Sotheby’s, the international passion
for Impressionism, and the world of dealers and collectors
Michel Strauss embarked on an enduring love affair at the age of six when he saw
for the first time paintings by Manet, Monet, and Degas, and the passion aroused
by these artists never left him. This passion, or “eye” as he calls it, led to his be-
coming head of the Impressionist Department at Sotheby’s where he remained for
40 years. He describes the personalities he met along the way: the collectors, the
dealers, the colleagues, and even the forgers, as well as the clients who shared his
passion. There were times of boom and times of recession, there were very diffi-
cult times—in particular the antitrust era—and there were times that brought great
delight and a sense of achievement, in particular the British Rail Pension Fund sale
which Michel had helped set up and which exceeded all expectations. An author-
itative and highly respected figure in the art world, Michel Strauss has handled the
greatest of all Impressionist works, some of which had been thought lost forever.
Michel Strauss has more than four decades of experience advising collectors and
has been responsible for the sale of numerous important paintings and collections.
An art historian and renowned expert in the field of Impressionism and 20th-
century art, his expertise covers the period from 1865 to 1973, from the birth of
Impressionism to the death of Picasso. He was Head of Sotheby’s Impressionist and
Modern Art Department, a board member from 1965 to 2000, and is now an in-
dependent consultant.

The Sociological Quest

An Introduction to the Study of Social Life
Fifth edition
Evan Willis
Now fully revised and updated with new examples, this lively introductory essay
on the discipline of sociology outlines some of the important components of a so-
ciological way of understanding the world
What is sociology? How do you “do” sociology? These questions can be difficult for
newcomers to grasp, and this short introduction takes the reader on a quest toward
a sociological understanding of the world. Using contemporary examples, it explains
what is distinctive about the way sociologists view society, showing that they are con-
cerned with the relationship between the individual and society, and that a socio-
logical analysis involves an approach which is historical, cultural, structural, and
critical. This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and incorporates new exam-
ples on technology, terrorism, climate change, and consumer behavior. It remains es-
sential preliminary reading for new students of sociology.
Evan Willis is a sociology professor and one of Australia’s leading sociologists. His
book Medical Dominance was a winner of the Australian Sociological Association
Award for the Ten Most Influential Books in Australian Sociology.

Those Were the Days: Golf
Andrew Davies
From the author of When I Were a Lad . . .
comes a weird and wonderful look at the early
days of golf
In the good old days of golf one could thrash a
“gutta percha” with a “mashie niblick” over the old
course at St. Andrews and have a damned fine lunch
in the clubhouse. These photos of the early days
of golf are accompanied by a sparkling commen-
tary, delivered in a classic 1930s newsreel style. Un-
feasibly large plus fours, society ladies out for a
bash, and weird golf inventions all make their way
into this collection.
Andrew Davies has written a number of comedy
books including The Ugly Book, When I Were a
Lad . . . , and When I Were a School Lad . . .

Roger Federer
The Greatest
Chris Bowers
The skyrocketing career and dramatic personal life of tennis’s hottest star, up-
dated to include his 2010 Australian Open win as well as the end-of-season ATP
World Wide Tour Finals in London
Roger Federer is a legend not only in the world of tennis but also in the wider sports
arena. This authoritative and affectionate biography traces his rise, from his first
tentative strokes with a tennis racket to how he dealt with being sent away to a
training academy where he struggled to communicate in a French-speaking part
of Switzerland and how he handled the sudden death of his first real coach and
mentor. It looks at his development as a sportsman and how he has matured into
a family man with his marriage to Mirka Vavrinec and the birth of their twin girls.
It also examines how Roger bounced back from arguably one of the most chal-
lenging periods of his career as, following a serious illness and a dip in form, his
run of successive Wimbledon championship wins was ended and he was toppled
from the number one spot by his longtime rival Rafael Nadal. In characteristic style,
Federer silenced his critics by winning the French Open title for the first time, re-
claiming his Wimbledon crown and ending 2009 at the number-one position for
the fifth time.
Chris Bowers is the author of The Book of Tennis and Fantastic Federer, and writes
regularly for the Independent, the Observer, and the Times.

Sex, Lies and Handlebar Tape
The Remarkable Life of Jacques Anquetil, the First Five-Times Winner
of the Tour de France
Paul Howard
The astonishing biography of French cycling star Jacques Anquetil
“An extraordinary biography.” —Times magazine

“Paul Howard has not allowed Anquetil’s astonishing love life to overwhelm his
equally extraordinary career . . . an impeccably researched book.” —Independent on
Sunday (Book of the Week)
Containing exclusive contributions from Anquetil’s family, friends, teammates, and rivals,
this biography untangles myth from reality and confirms that fact is definitely stranger
than fiction. Jacques Anquetil was the first man to win the Tour de France five times; the
first man to win all three grand tours—the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a Es-
paña; and the first man to win both the Tour and Vuelta in one year. However, the ex-
traordinary story of Anquetil does not stop at his cycling achievements. He admitted to
using drugs, offended fans by confessing that his only motivation for riding was finan-
cial, and infamously indulged his enthusiasm for the high life. He also seduced his doc-
tor’s wife, had a child with her daughter, and then sustained a ménage à trois
with his wife and stepdaughter for 12 years. This is a fascinating, candid look
at a controversial and extraordinary man.

This is a difficult book to put down.” —Cycle Sport

Olympic Gangster
The Legend of José Beyaert – Cycling Champion, Fortune Hunter and Outlaw
Matt Rendell
The remarkable biography of a 1948 Olympic cycling champion who became a swash-
buckling fortune hunter in Columbia
“Separating myth from reality in Beyaert’s story and bringing it together with the sure-
handedness we’ve come to expect is award-winning author Matt Rendell.”
—Bookseller
Matt Rendell, who knew José Beyaert, tells the fascinating story of an almost-forgotten sport-
ing hero who, incapable of living to other people’s rules, lived his many lives on his own terms.
During World War II, Beyaert boxed and trafficked arms for the Resistance on his bicycle. After
that, he became an international cyclist. In 1948, a mile from the end of the Olympic road race
around Windsor Park, he broke away alone to take the gold medal and started an adventure
that would last the rest of his life. A Tour de France rider in the sport’s golden age, José was
invited to open a new velodrome in Colombia, South America. He intended to stay a month,
but instead, driven by his thirst for adventure, he stayed for 50 years, becoming by turns ath-
lete, coach, businessman, emerald-trader, logger, smuggler, and perhaps even hired killer.
Matt Rendell is part of the ITV Tour de France production team. He is the author of Blaz-
ing Saddles: The Cruel & Unusual History of the Tour de France, The Death of Marco Pan-
tan, and The Official Tour De France: Centennial.

Burning Rubber
The Extraordinary Story of Formula One
Charles Jennings
A fully updated, turbo-charged account of 60 years of Formula One, endangering the lives
of its drivers and thrilling its fans since 1950
“Genuinely enjoyable . . . Jennings approaches the sport with refreshing wit . . . well re-
searched and packed with insightful anecdotes. . . . There is no F1 icon too big to escape
Jennings’ satirical cynicism.” —www.espnf1.com
Viewed rationally, of course, there was something not quite right about Gilles Villeneuve. This
is true of many (if not all) top sportsman, one way or another, but in Villeneuve’s case it is
hard to escape the conclusion that he was a natural, both in the sense that he was naturally
gifted as a driver; and that bits of his personality were defective, or had simply gone missing.
A white-knuckle drive through the bends, straights, chicanes, and pit stops of Formula One’s
checkered history, this is the fast and dangerous story of motor sport’s premier competition.
It explores the lost world of the 1950s racetrack, the irresistible rise of British constructors
in the 1960s, the impact of technological changes from the late 1970s, the advent of the high-
profile team boss in the 1980s, and the revolution wrought on the sport by computers in the
1990s. Throughout, there are memorable profiles of the drivers who have risked life and limb
on circuits from Monte Carlo to Monza—the ebullient Stirling Moss, the champagne-gar-
gling James Hunt, the cerebral Prost and the mercurial Senna (whose combined brilliance was
exceeded only by their mutual loathing), the adenoidal Nigel Mansell, the metronomic Michael
Schumacher, the precocious Lewis Hamilton, and the reborn Jenson Button.

Cyclosportives
A Competitor’s Guide
Jerry Clark and Bill Joss
Two accomplished cycling competitors cover all the practical information necessary for
those participating in sportives to achieve their maximum potential
Cyclosportives, or sportives as they are usually known, are the cycling equivalent of
marathons—they often last more than seven hours and are ridden over distances in excess
of 100 miles. This guide to sportives details their origins and development, as well as the
practical necessities for riders. To complete successfully, serious sportive riders require a high
level of physical fitness, mental strength and focus, good bike-handling skills, and the abil-
ity to commit themselves to a stringent program of training and preparation. The authors
cover bikes, clothing, and equipment; training and avoiding injury; nutrition, planning, and
preparation; bike-handling and group-riding techniques; the mental aspects of participat-
ing in a race; and recovery.
Jerry Clark rides more than 6,000 miles per year, undertakes about 12 events a season, and
is a consistent top 25 finisher. Bill Joss is a former elite triathlete and quadrathlete who has
competed in hundreds of major endurance events over the past 25 years.

Old Trafford: 100 Years at the Home of Manchester United
The Official Story
Ian Marshall
The definitive official account of Old Trafford, home of the Manchester United, reveals the
full story behind the ground as it celebrates its 100th anniversary, including exclusive in-
terviews with players, fans, and even those who helped rebuild the ground after the war
In the Edwardian era, Manchester’s leading soccer club, Manchester United, was one of the
best in the land—but its stadium at Bank Street did not reflect its aspirations. So the directors
took the brave decision to build a spectacular new stadium to reflect the club’s, and the city’s,
status, and on February 19, 1910, Old Trafford was open for action. Here, Ian Marshall tells
the astonishing story of the 100 years that followed. From early triumph, through inter-war
depression, Old Trafford saw it all. But when the ground was twice bombed during World War
II, its entire future was in question. However, under the inspirational management of Matt Busby,
both the team and the ground were rebuilt, and a new era of dominance was ushered in dur-
ing the 1950s, only for United to be once again struck down by Munich. Speaking to players,
employees, and fans from across the years, as well as original research into the United archives,
Marshall explains how the iconic venue has remained central not just to United but to the for-
tunes of an entire city.
Ian Marshall is a lifelong United fan, first visiting Old Trafford in 1973. A publisher for much
of his career, he has worked with some of the greatest sporting personalities in the world, among
them Eric Cantona.

The Diary of Our Season

The Official Manchester United Player’s Diary 2010–11
Steve Bartram
The full inside story of Manchester United’s dramatic campaign for honors in the 2010–
11 season, including contributions from all of the players
With in-depth contributions from the key members of the squad—including the backroom
staff—this book is the definitive account of United’s 2010–2011 season, where once again
the Reds looked to take on all comers. Manchester United began the season with the longest
unbeaten start to a campaign in any competition in their history. Dimitar Berbatov was bang-
ing in the goals; Nani was flying down the wing; and new arrivals Bebe, Javier Hernandez,
and Chris Smalling all made early impacts for the Reds. Meanwhile, the negotiations for Wayne
Rooney’s new contract were played out over the front pages in Sports sections across the world.
All this served to prove that, as a team, Manchester United remains one of the biggest sto-
ries in sports—a fact that Sir Alex Ferguson knows all too well. Having just entered his 25th
year as manager of the club, he knows all about the pressures of being in charge at the biggest
club of them all and making sure that his charges deliver where it really matters: on the pitch.
Steve Bartram is a regular writer for Inside United and the United Review. He worked with
the players to write The Story of Our Season: The Official Manchester United Diary and was
the coauthor of Behind the Scenes at Manchester United.

Scholes
My Story
Paul Scholes
Foreword by Sir Alex Ferguson
Epilogue by Sir Bobby Charlton
Lavishly illustrated, this is the first autobiography of one of the most revered and
popular soccer players of the modern era
Paul Scholes is one of the most celebrated soccer players of today, both at home and
internationally. A one-club player, he has served Manchester United for more than six-
teen years, making over 600 appearances in that time—the fourth highest number of
appearances by any player for the club. He also represented the England national team
for seven years, winning 66 caps that included two World Cup and two European Cup
campaigns. Throughout this time, Scholes has always played a decisive role in his teams’
fortunes. As well as the technical brilliance that makes Paul Scholes such a breath-
taking player to watch, it is the determination and integrity which he demonstrates
both on and off the pitch that means he is a fascination to fans of the sport. In an age
of overpaid, workaday players, Scholes has become an icon of professionalism and
club loyalty, admired by fans everywhere. Now, for the first time, Paul Scholes shares
his story—from his beginnings at United under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson as part of the “golden” youth team, to the tre-
ble-winning season and twice capturing European Cup glory, the importance of family and friends in keeping his feet on the ground,
as well as his many triumphs and tribulations with England.
Paul Scholes has represented Manchester United for more than 16 years and represented the England national team from 1997
until his retirement in 2004. He was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 2008. Sir Alex Ferguson is the current manager
of Manchester United, where he has been in charge since 1986. Sir Bobby Charlton is a former professional soccer player who
played almost his entire career with Manchester United. He was a member of the England team that won the World Cup and
was named the European Footballer of the Year in 1966.

Glorious
My Football World in Pictures
Paul Gascoigne
The illustrated autobiography that celebrates the career of one of England’s—
and soccer’s—all-time greats
Even people who don’t know football know who “Gazza” is. The man born as Paul
John Gascoigne to a working-class family in England has found headlines on the front
pages almost as often as the back pages throughout his life, thanks in great part to
his more than colorful lifestyle. But it is for his time as a soccer player of the very
highest order that Gazza’s name will forever live in sporting history. Told in Gazza’s
own unique voice and fully illustrated with hundreds of photos from the moments
that he feels defined his career, this book is a tribute, offering an unrivaled insight
into the mind of this greatest of footballers. During a career that spanned more than
10 different clubs—among them Newcastle United, Tottenham, Lazio, and Rangers—
and that included countless unforgettable England performances, Gazza established
himself as one of the sport’s all-time greats: a master of skill, flair, and invention
like none that his country had produced before nor perhaps ever will again.
Paul “Gazza” Gascoigne played for Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio,
Rangers, Middlesbrough, and Everton, among others. He has played in more than
50 international matches for the English national team, and was inducted into both
the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Glasgow Rangers Hall of Fame
in 2006. He is the author of Being Gazza and Gazza: My Story.

Giggsy
The Biography of Ryan Giggs
Frank Worrall
The story of the most decorated player in English soccer history, with 11 Premier League
titles, two Champions League victories, and four FA Cup winner’s medals to his name
Giggs is an astonishing player with an unparalleled career, and here is his amazing story. When
he made his Manchester United first team debut at 17, many considered Giggs to be the great-
est talent since George Best. By the advent of the Premier League in 1992, he was firmly es-
tablished as United’s left winger, a position he continued to dominate until late in his career,
when Ferguson switched him to a deeper role in central midfield. Famed for his pace and
skill on the ball, Giggs has scored vital goals throughout his career. He was an integral part
of the historic 1999 Treble-winning side, and is the only Man U player to have played in both
the 1999 and 2008 Champions League victories. Giggs has scored nearly 150 goals for United
and his incredible record with the club has ensured that he will go down in history as one of

Glory, Goals & Greed

Twenty Years of the Premier League
Joe Lovejoy
An enlightening account of the FA Premier League’s eventful first 20 years
Born 20 years ago, in September 1991, the FA Premier League has since established itself as
the most popular club competition in world football. But first it endured a struggle to sur-
vive in the face of opposition from the players’ union and the Football League. It was touch
and go for a year, then the breakaway elite faced a new crisis with the exposure of the game’s
“bungs” culture (payment made outside official arrangement), staining the reputations of Brian
Clough and George Graham, among others. The new league was threatened again by the very
real possibility of financial meltdown, averted only by a widespread and controversial takeover
of many top clubs by predatory owners from overseas. Joe Lovejoy, chief soccer writer at the
Independent at the time, reported on the creation of the Premier League, and revisits the story
here, interviewing many of the “founding fathers” to cast new light on its arrival.
Joe Lovejoy is the author of Bestie, the authorized biography of George Best, and Sven: The
Final Reckoning. He also worked with Ryan Giggs on Giggs: The Autobiography.

The Man with Maradona’s Shirt

Steve Hodge
A player at the top of English soccer for more than a decade provides a snapshot of a van-
ished era of the sport, based on his meticulously kept diaries
A fascinating, behind-the-scenes glimpse of life at the top, this memoir offers incredible insider’s
stories of the 1980s and the early 1990s—the last era of (relative) innocence in English soccer.
Steve Hodge played alongside Hoddle, Waddle, and Ardiles in the lauded mid-1980s Spurs mid-
field; he was a dressing-room witness to the vagaries, charm, whims, and downright venomous
side of Brian Clough; and he was at two World Cups, being instrumental in the “hand of God”
episode, and hanging out with the likes of Gazza and Lineker four years later in Italy. Besides
these unbeatably inside stories, Hodge also offers his thoughts on the World Cup and English
soccer today.
Steve Hodge played at the top level throughout his career for Nottingham Forest, Spurs, Aston Villa,
and Leeds. He won 24 caps, played in two World Cups, and now works at a youth academy.

Football—Bloody Hell!
The Biography of Alex Ferguson
Patrick Barclay
A warts-and-all assessment of the game’s biggest living legend as he approaches retirement,
written with unprecedented access to fellow managers, former players, and commentators
Patrick Barclay has spoken to all those who know Alex Ferguson best, revealing him to be a re-
lentless character whose ability to intimidate, control, cajole, and encourage has driven his unparalleled
success. Sir Alex Ferguson is without doubt the most controversial and compelling figure in soc-
cer today, ranking for many as the greatest manager of all time, and certainly the most successful.
His reign at Manchester United has seen him win every major soccer honor, and then win them
again. It’s been more than 10 years since Ferguson’s embattled players triumphed over Bayern Mu-
nich in the dying seconds of the Champions League final. Since then Ferguson has been instrumental
in making the Premier League the most successful competition in soccer, and he has endured while
the mountains of cash have turned to valleys of debt. It is only now, as Ferguson nears the end of
his career, that conclusions can be drawn about this fascinating man—here is the inside story.
Patrick Barclay is the chief soccer commentator for the Times and former chief soccer writer
for the Guardian-Observer, Telegraph, and Independent.

Gareth Bale
The Biography
Frank Worrall
The story of one of the most promising young talents in the Premier League, the player
who is regarded as one of Europe’s hottest soccer properties
Born in 1989, Bale first attracted the attention of Southampton FC at the age of just nine and
in April of 2008, Bale became the second-youngest player ever to sign for Southampton. De-
spite playing at left-back he scored five goals and was extremely impressive in his first sea-
son. The Premier League soon came calling and in 2007 Bale signed a four-year deal with
Tottenham Hotspur and in late 2009 he seized his chance to secure a regular place in the first
team and since then he had proved to be a top-class soccer player with a stunning hat-trick
in Tottenham’s Europa League tie against Inter Milan at the San Siro and a man-of-the-match
performance in the return leg. Bale has unsurprisingly also made several appearances for Wales,
and his talent has been compared to that of the legendary Ryan Giggs.

Robin van Persie

The Biography
Andy Lloyd-Williams
The story of the Dutch soccer player who plays for Arsenal
From early rifts with coach Bert van Marwijk as a young player at Feyenoord, through to es-
tablishing himself as a world class talent after van Marwijk guided the great Oranje to the World
Cup final in 2010, this is the fascinating story of a true sporting talent and one of the most
naturally gifted soccer players of his generation. An intelligent playmaker and deadly striker,
he brings creativity and intelligence to Arsenal’s forward line and is the first name on the Nether-
lands team sheet. Signed by Arsene Wenger in the summer of 2004, Van Persie quickly estab-
lished himself as an integral part of Wenger’s talented side, initially plying his trade on the left
side of midfield. Playing alongside the likes of Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, and Patrick Vieira,
he developed into one of the most creative, competitive, and intelligent players in the Premier
League. Scoring what Wenger called the “goal of a lifetime” against Charlton in 2006, van Per-
sie was asked to lead the Arsenal line following Henry’s departure in the summer of 2007, and
it wasn’t long before the Dutchman inherited Bergkamp’s number 10 jersey and became an in-
tegral part of the next generation of Arsenal greats.
Andy Lloyd-Williams is a sports and music journalist.

Red Men
Liverpool Football Club–The Biography
John Williams
In researching the first book to cover the complete history of Liverpool FC using
a linear narrative, the author was given access to the club’s original minute books
“Brings the social and sporting heritage of the club, and the city, to vivid life
. . . admirably impartial, impressively researched.” —Book of the Week,
Independent on Sunday
“Told with a sharp eye for anecdote, color and personality. . . . Every club
should have a chronicle like this.” —Guardian
John Williams explores the origins and divisive politics of soccer in the city of Liv-
erpool and profiles the key men behind the emergence of the club and its early
successes in this unique and exhaustively researched history of Liverpool Foot-
ball Club. The figures of the club featured here include the first great Liverpool
manager, Tom Watson, who piloted the club to its first league championships in
1901 and 1906 before taking the club to the FA Cup final in 1914; Elisha Scott,
the darling of the Kop in the 1920s; and, of course, Bill Shankly, who won that
elusive first FA Cup in 1965. The recent tragedies that have shaped the club's con-
temporary identity are covered, as are the new Continental influences at Liver-
pool, and, of course, the glory of Istanbul in 2005. This is the definitive history
of a remarkable club from its formation in 1892 to the present day, told in the
wider context of the social and cultural development of the city of Liverpool and
its people. Containing a wealth of rarely published photographs from every era
of the club's history, this book is sure to appeal to the club's global fanbase.
John Williams has been studying soccer as a sociologist for the past 30 years and
is the author of several books on Liverpool FC, including Into the Red, The Mir-
acle of Istanbul, and Passing Rhythms.

An Epic Swindle
44 Months with a Pair of Cowboys
Brian Reade
The inside story of how Liverpool FC came within hours of being repossessed by the banks
after the shambolic 44-month reign of U.S. owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett
This is a tale of debts, lies, cowboys, and a civil war that dragged Britain’s most successful soc-
cer club to its knees, through the High Court, and almost into administration. Players Steven
Gerrard and Jamie Carragher tell of their anger at the broken promises, as well as their pain at
watching loyal fans in open revolt. The manager, the chief executive, board members, leading
fans, and journalists reveal the turmoil at a revered sporting institution run by two men at war
with each other, and who trampled the notion of the Liverpool Way into the gutter. No story
sums up the naked greed at the heart of modern soccer quite like Hicks’ and Gillett’s attempt
to turn a quick buck at Liverpool, and no one has had as much access to the truth, or tells it
with as much passion, wit, and insight as Brian Reade.
Brian Reade is a radio host, a writer for the Daily Mirror, and the author of 43 Years with the
Same Bird.

My Liverpool Home
Kenny Dalglish
Updated with a new chapter, the story of Dalglish’s epic love affair with Liverpool traces
the highs and lows, the characters, the laughter, the triumphs, and the tears
Kenny Dalglish’s relationship with the Liverpool Football Club is one of the great love stories
of sports. For soccer fans, this revealing book about one of the game’s greatest players is a must,
while for those fascinated by how a very private man suffered after very publicly supporting
his community, Dalglish’s emotional story makes compelling reading. From the moment he first
set foot in the Anfield dressing room nervously asking for autographs while having a trial at
the club, Dalglish felt a passion for Liverpool stir within him. Fans have never forgotten how
Dalglish held the club together through two tragedies, the first at the Heysel stadium in Brus-
sels in 1985 and then at Hillsborough in 1989. Eventually, for the sake of his health and his
family, Dalglish resigned and Liverpool has not won the title since. Although Dalglish walked
alone, away from Anfield, in his heart he never really left and has now finally returned, play-
ing a pivotal role in this turbulent period in the club’s history.
Kenny Dalglish was one of the most successful soccer players of his era, winning successive tour-
naments with Liverpool, and then turning to management where he triumphed with Liverpool
and Blackburn. He is the author of My Liverpool Years.

Kangaroo
Portrait of an Extraordinary Marsupial
Stephen Jackson and Karl Vernes
The remarkable social, anecdotal, and historical story of Australia’s most famous marsupial,
recognized the world over for its adorable pouch and trademark hopping
From their ancient origins and prehistoric significance to current-day management and conservation,
this book describes the ecology, history, and behavior of the kangaroo. The amazing diversity of this
group of animals is revealed, from tiny forest dwellers and tree kangaroos to large majestic animals
living on the open plains of central Australia and the giant kangaroos that once roamed the Pleis-
tocene landscape. It describes their interaction with both the original inhabitants and the European
settlers of Australia and addresses the issue of how the population of these animals can be best man-
aged, making the points that some species are heading for extinction due to habitat loss while oth-
ers have increased in numbers since humans first settled in Australia. The authors also investigate
the animal’s natural history—their unique reproduction methods, intriguing behavior, varied diet, and
trademark hopping ability; and examines humans’ sustained fascination with kangaroos—spanning
40,000 years—that allows these engaging marsupials to be instantly recognized.
Stephen Jackson has worked in the wildlife industry for 20 years as a field biologist, zoo keeper, wildlife park curator, and gov-
ernment zoo regulator. He is the author of Australian Mammals: Biology and Captive Management and Koala. Karl Vernes is a
professor of environmental and rural sciences, specializing in kangaroos.

Understanding Dressage Training

Angela Niemeyer Eastwood and Andrea Hessay
A Grand Prix rider and trainer offers essential reading on how to achieve a happy
balanced partnership between horse and rider
Dressage training has changed little over the centuries and the principles laid down by the
Riding Masters are as pertinent now as they have ever been. This book makes it clear that
that everything a rider does on top of their horse, and how they do it, is considered “train-
ing,” because they are forming habits for both the horse and themselves. It also covers
scales of training, definitions, explanations, and rules; how to achieve an independent seat;
using aids; transitions; lateral work and pirouettes; and test riding and arena craft.
Angela Niemeyer Eastwood is one of the original 12 UK dressage trainers accredited to
train apprentices, a founding member of the Pyramid Trainers Club, a UKCC Level 3
coach, and has competed to Inter II in the UK. Since 1992 she and Andrea Hessay have
worked together as dressage trainers in the UAE, Hong Kong, Australia, South Africa,
and the U.S.

The Biomechanical Basics of Classical Riding
Dr. Thomas Ritter
Analyzed by an expert and accompanied by many practical examples, the an-
cient secrets of classical riding are presented here in a modern way
Classical riding, in essence, is correct riding. It is how one should ride every time
they get on a horse, and includes not just knowing how to ride, but all around
knowledge of the horse as a species. Here, a thorough examination of classical
riding is presented through accessible modern day examples. It also includes al-
most forgotten, yet essential, riding methods—such as the Bügeltritt (the posi-
tion of the rider’s foot in the stirrup) or ridden work with a cavesson. Other
concepts include the aims of dressage; the system’s essential gymnastic building
blocks; breaking down blockades; essential riding skills such as sitting, feeling,
and thinking; and the network of aids.
Dr. Thomas Ritter has trained numerous riders and horses on the art of classi-
cal dressage. His teachers included Egon von Neindorff.

Preparing for Dressage the Right Way

The Correct Training Methods For Success
Katja von Rönne
An essential tool for everyday use, this practical book makes dressage easy by pro-
viding concrete instructions on how to correctly ride dressage lessons from novice to
Grand Prix
A practical guide in the best sense of the word, instead of training each step of the exercise
separately, internationally renowned trainer Katja von Rönne recommends following a “cen-
tral theme” when training the horse. Instead of simply being reeled off, all of the lessons
have an explicit purpose—to exercise the horse correctly and to nurture it in harmony and
trust. Maintaining health and teamwork are paramount her methods, and descriptive ex-
planations in each chapter show how to train a horse in a structured way, as well as what
the rider can do if problems arise. A training plan with sequences of exercises connects the
individual lessons for ultimate accessibility and cohesiveness of learning.
Katja von Rönne is an internationally successful dressage trainer who has taught in Aus-
tria, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Japan, and Taiwan. She currently holds the highest
equestrian qualification in Germany, and has been trained by Helmut Beck-Broichsitter,
among others.

Raw Food Diet for Dogs
Feeding Fresh Meat Made Easy!
Silke Böhm
A practical introduction to the trend towards feeding dogs in a natural and species-
appropriate way
With the debate raging about the most appropriate way to feed man’s best friend, more
and more dog owners are realizing that feeding raw meat, combined with fresh vegeta-
bles and oils, is a cheaper and—more importantly—healthier alternative to dry dog food
and canned meat. Some of the positive effects of this diet can be seen in healthy skin, a
glossy coat, less body and mouth odor, and a strong immune system. The author ex-
plains the raw food diet for dogs in a clear and practical way, demonstrating a daily
routine, describing the ingredients, and dispelling the prejudices. Practical shopping lists
are also compiled, describing meats that are especially beneficial for dogs and keeping
at the ready negative lists of harmful substances that should be avoided in the grocery
store. Suitability for daily use and practical relevance are in the foreground, making the
raw food diet easy for anybody to manage.
Silke Böhm is a sociologist and works as an editor and copywriter. She is closely involved
with the Bones and Raw Foods (BARF) diet.

Chicken Coops for the Soul

A Henkeeper’s Story
Julia Hollander
A delightful memoir of chicken-keeping that mixes useful facts about the art with Julia
Hollander’s real life story
“Enchanting.” —Daily Mail

When Julia Hollander agreed to buy her small daughter a rabbit, she had no idea that she
would end up with two hens as well. Finding herself at the wrong end of a very steep learn-
ing curve, she then had to master the many skills of hen husbandry in short order, from what
to feed them to how best to fox-proof a small urban garden. This is a record of the five years
of trial and error that ensued, in which Julia charts the joys, challenges, and inevitable mo-
ments of disappointment of allowing your life to become dominated by poultry. It’s also a
compendium of wisdom about the humble chicken that explains, among many other things,
which breeds are most productive, why some hens lay double-yolkers, and why World War
II is to thank for chicken-keepers’ ability to tell newly hatched male and female chicks apart—
not to mention including a considered discussion of where the first chicken (or egg) came
from. Fascinating and entertaining by turns, this is book will prove invaluable to the aspir-
ing keeper and remind chicken aficionados why they became hooked in the first place.
Julia Hollander is a former opera director and a writer, journalist, and playwright. She has
written features and blogs for the Guardian and Telegraph newspapers and for a variety of
magazines, including Opera Now, Red, and the Spectator.

Idiotspeak!
101 Modern Words That Drive You Mad
Richard Wilson
A British Comedy Award-winning writer waxes lyrical on such awful parts of the modern-
day vernacular as “ciao,” “hurting,” “fashionista,” and “staycation”
Taking a hard look at the English language and the mess that it has become, this is a hilari-
ous, and topical, self righteous stab at the invention of ridiculous, nonsensical words that not
only are just plain crap but also make those who dare speak them sound like complete twits.
The author lets loose on how those words were created and how they escaped and survived
in the wild instead of being killed at a young age. Written in an utterly fantastic ranting style,
this sharp shooting of the ridiculousness of the modern English language—and the morons
who use it—is a must-have for word-lovers and grammar sticklers.
Richard Wilson is head of comedy for Hat Trick Productions (producers of Father Ted, Have
I Got News For You, and Room 101). He is the author of Can’t Be Arsed: 101 Things Not
To Do Before You Die and Don’t Even Think About It!

iGrump
The Handbook for Those Who Hate Technology
Ivor Grump
For every early adopter, there’s an immediate shunner, and here is their book—a glori-
ous technophobic rant about every bit of new technology supposedly designed to make
our lives “easier”
Filled with wit, observation, and just plain grumpiness, these are the ravings of an analog
guy struggling to keep afloat in a digital world. Everywhere he turns he finds technology
and gizmos encroaching into his world. When at last he’s forced to embrace consumer elec-
tronics—with all the enthusiasm of a bank vole nestling up to a peregrine falcon—he finds
they go and change the device he’s studiously learned. Whether it’s his erratic computer, the
internet, TV remote controls, his phone, or the washing machine, Ivor is a man easily be-
wildered. But still he battles on, trying to work out which of his 17 remote controls will
have any influence on the television. Along the way he takes large swipes at texting, down-
loads, MP3 players, voice (lack of) recognition, and suggests a new social networking web
site for those of a similar technology-hating disposition—Grumpbook.
Ivor Grump is possibly the grumpiest man alive. He is the author of The Grumpy Golfer’s
Handbook.

When I Were a Nipper . . .
Andrew Davies
Yet more oddball nostalgia from the When I Were
a Lad . . . series—this time focusing on the younger years
In these photos from a time when it was fun to play with a
tangerine box and not an X-box, tots are dangled off build-
ings, put in the custody of dogs, given baths in the street, and
used for unsuitable photo opportunities by unthinking par-
ents. In turn, they torment the family pet by dressing it up in
a sailor suit or getting it to act as a golf tee. This collection
is full of the same delightfully prehealth and safety shots from
the 1930s–1950s that made the first two books successful.
Andrew Davies has written a number of comedy books in-
cluding The Ugly Book, When I Were a Lad . . ., and When
I Were a School Lad . . . .

Brideshead Abbreviated
The Digested Read of the Twentieth Century
John Crace
The New York Times called the Guardian’s Digested Read column “the best
book-related feature in any of this planet’s English-language newspapers.” Now
creator John Crace takes on 100 great—and not so great—classics of modern
literature.
“A swift kick up the backside to some of modern literature’s most iconic

works. Accurate, merciless, and very, very funny.” —Sarah Waters,
author, Fingersmith
“A wicked cultural survey perfect for the bitter and well-read.”
—Publishers Weekly on The Digested Read
John Crace’s Digested Read column has rightly acquired a cult following. Each
week fans avidly devour his latest razor-sharp literary assassination, while authors
turn tremblingly to the appropriate page of the review section, fearful that it may
be their turn to be mercilessly sent up. Now he turns his critical eye on the clas-
sics of the last century, offering bite-sized pastiches of everything from Mrs. Dal-
loway to Trainspotting, Lolita to Blood Meridian. Those who have never quite got
around to reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man will be delighted to find
its essence distilled into a handful of paragraphs, while those who have never re-
ally enjoyed Lord of the Flies will be pleased to find it hilariously parodied in an
easily swallowable 982 words. And those who find all such works a little high-
brow will be relieved to discover, between the covers of this book, John Crace’s
take on the likes of Ian Fleming, P. G. Wodehouse, and Douglas Copeland. Witty and sharp, this is essential reading both for
those who genuinely love literature and for those who merely want to appear ridiculously well read.
John Crace is a Guardian staff feature writer and columnist, the author of the regular Digested Read and Digested Classic columns,
and the author of The Digested Read.

Excerpts:
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number 4 Privet Drive, were proud to be the comedy formula fall guys who featured at the start of every
Harry Potter book.
“I want to go back to Kansas.”

“You could have done that anytime. All you had to do was click your Lady Gaga heels three times.”
“You mean, we needn’t have gone through endless repetitions of the same story,” everyone gasped.
Sherlock had in his hands a stick left behind by a doctor the night before. “Well, Watson, what do you make of it?” he said.
I sighed. “Do we always have to start a new story with me humiliating myself by jumping to all the wrong conclusions?”
“We have a ghost in here,” Sethe said. “It’s Beloved. My daughter whose throat was cut when she was two years old.”
“I can see that,” Paul D replied, ducking as a table was hurled towards his head.
“And I’ve got a chokecherry tree growing out my back,” Sethe murmured.
“Of course you have.” Paul D nodded. “Every slave with poetry in her soul and post-modernism in her heart is similarly oppressed.”

42: Douglas Adams’ Amazingly Accurate Answer to Life,
the Universe and Everything
Peter Gill
The perfect smartly funny companion read to the Hitchiker’s Guide
In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, author Douglas Adams famously proposed that
the answer to the question What is the meaning of Life? was the number 42. Why that num-
ber? Over the years, many theories have been put forward, but Adams steadfastly refused
to clarify. It has taken a dedicated fan and investigator, Peter Gill, 10 years to establish just
why 42 is the answer. In this brilliantly detailed, maniacally meticulous, and hilariously off-
beat volume, Gill offers a whole range of reasons why 42 really is the answer. For example:
On page 42 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry discovers he is a wizard;
Adolf Hitler turned vegetarian at the age of 42; Elvis Presley choked on his hamburger at
the age of 42; Washington is the 42nd State; and channel 42 in the Stanley Hotel in Col-
orado, where Stephen King stayed prior to writing The Shining, shows Kubrick’s film of the
book in one nonstop loop.

Am I a Chap?
Gustav Temple
An hilarious manual for correctly spotting the English gentleman, including dandies, cads,
and eccentrics
Seeking to classify every species and sub-species of English gentleman that one may observe
throughout the seasons, this guide ranges from the flamboyant young fop to the crusty old
duffer. Looking at established chaps such as Beau Brummel and Cary Grant and taking in de-
ceased chaps such as the Comte de Montesquiou and Fred Astaire, the book takes us up to the
present day with contemporary types such as the Bohemian Chap, the Libertine, the Old Codger,
and the City Gent. Full of barbed wit and helpful tips on how to correctly wear one’s spats,
this is a pocket-sized prestige gift for aspirantly stylish chaps and chapesses.
Gustav Temple is the founder of The Chap magazine, the satirical gentleman’s journal first pub-
lished in 1999. He is also the author of The Chap Manifesto and the organizer of the annual
Chap Olympics, an annual Olympiad for the over-dressed, in which sportsmanship, athleti-
cism, and physical strength are not rewarded as highly as panache, guile, and sporting a well-
pressed trouser.

The Wit and Wisdom of Stephen Fry
Compiled by Charlie Burden
The most memorable utterances of the celebrated comedian, actor, author, philosopher,
and wit
“Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.”
“It is a cliché that most clichés are true, but then like most clichés, that cliché is untrue.”
“Old professors never die, they just lose their faculties.”
“I don’t need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.”
“When you’ve seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.”
As profound a wit as Oscar Wilde, the man he once portrayed on the big screen, Stephen Fry’s
finest sayings are collected for the first time in this treasury. First capturing the public’s imag-
ination when he appeared alongside Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry And Laurie and Jeeves and
Wooster, Fry then starred in Blackadder and the film Wilde. He has also written several books
and appeared on Bones. Throughout his remarkable career, Fry has been an engaging, eminently
quotable man. Much like the man himself, this collection of wisecracks and witticisms will en-
tertain, inform, and delight all readers.
Charlie Burden is the author of Sir Alan Sugar: The Biography. He writes for numerous news-
papers and magazines, including the Daily Telegraph, GQ, Time Out, and the Times.

Mrs Fry’s Diary

Mrs Stephen Fry
Foreword by Stephen Fry
The hilarious diary by Mrs. Stephen Fry, the wife you never knew he had—who thinks him
a womanizing window-cleaner
“The clever wordplay and gags keep coming . . . it’s consistently funny and will keep all
types of readers entertained.” —Irish News
MrsStephenFry has more than 85,000 Twitter followers, and won a Shorty
Award for Humor
Stephen Fry’s secret wife speaks out at last. “Enjoyed a nice cuppa this morning with a Hob-
Nob and Jeremy Kyle. There was a woman on there who’d been married 16 years without re-
alising her husband was gay. Extraordinary! Which reminds me, it’s our 16th anniversary in
a few weeks. What a coincidence.” Stephen Fry—actor, writer, raconteur, and wit. Cerebral
and sophisticated, a true Renaissance man. Or is he? Finally, his secret double life—the wom-
anizing, the window-cleaning, the kebabs, the karaoke—is exclusively revealed by Edna, his
devoted wife and mother of his five, six, or possibly seven children. These diaries take us through
a year in the life of an unwitting celebrity wife, and are rumored to include scandalous noc-
turnal shenanigans, advice on childcare, and 101 things to do with a tin of Spam. “A good
diary should be like a good husband—a constant companion, a source of inspiration and, ide-
ally, bound in leather.”
Edna Fry is the devoted wife of Stephen Fry and the mother of his various children. Stephen
Fry is an actor, screenwriter, comedian, and director who is well-known for his collabora-
tions with Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster, his appearances
in such films as Alice in Wonderland and Gosford Park, and his recurring guest role on Bones.
His previous titles include The Liar, Making History, The Moab is My Washpot, The Ode
Less Travelled, Revenge, and Stephen Fry in America.

Kids’ Klangers
The Funny Things That Children Say
Richard Benson
A compulsive compendium of hilarious quips and quotes from children
On Love: “You get shot with an arrow or something, but it’s not meant to be as painful
after that.”
Reciting The Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father which aren’t in heaven . . . Halloween be thy
name . . . Deliver us from e-mail.”
The world is a confusing place—especially for little
ones—and their innocent observations and questions
can often be side-splittingly hilarious. They can also
be a tiny bit embarrassing if you’re, say, behind an
elderly gentleman at a busy checkout and your lit-
tle angel loudly asks you, “Is that man all wrinkly
because he’s been in the bath too long?”

A Woman Needs a Man Like a Cat

Daisy Hay
100 reasons why men are living proof that women can take
a joke
“You’ll laugh out loud . . . a must for cat lovers.”

—Your Cat magazine
Why can’t a man be more like a glass of rosé? A bit more use-
ful, that is. You can’t live with them, and yet—no, really, you
just can’t live with them. Women are complex creatures; men
are beasts. And if men really are from Mars, why don’t we

Your dog has simple needs—just like you. Dogs may leave hair
on the couch and share your chocolates, but they won’t fill
the fridge with beer or watch Top Gear all day. It seems the
more time you spend around men, the more attractive the
pooch looks.

The Funny Thing About Getting Older

“As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember

You can’t help feeling bewildered every time another birthday lunges at you—after all, you
still feel like the proverbial spring chicken. And yet there are unmistakable signs that sen-
iority is creeping in. Don’t worry, that’s senior, not senile. If you’ve ever had a senior mo-
ment, are afraid of acting your age, or are really deranged and confused, this miscellany of

Lobcocks and Fartleberries

18th Century Insults to Confound Your Foes
Francis Grose
A selection from the original slang dictionary The Vulgar Tongue, including such gems
as “Bitch Bobby” (a country wench) and lobcock (a large relaxed penis or a dull inan-
imate fellow)

box, would you be offended? If you lived in 1785, you most certainly would! Harking
back to a time when insults and rude words were considerably more colorful, this col-
lection is one that no true aspiring vulgarite or rude language lover should be without.
Francis Grose, an elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, traveled extensively through-
out the British Isles and featured in several of Robert Burns’ poems. He died in Dublin
of an apoplectic fit in 1791.

A Manual for Their Design, Layout & Display
Marie Lynskey
A detailed guide to the alternative ways to lay out and draw up a genealogical chart,
up through the production of a finished document for display on the wall or in a book
A family tree chart can be purely functional, to convey its information in a clear and eas-
ily accessible manner, or it can be a highly decorative, carefully written, and illustrated
piece of artwork, and this very practical do-it-yourself manual offers a full range of op-
tions and methods. Layout solutions are given for multiple marriages, natural children,
intermarriage, doubtful information, and so on. Designs that ensure good proportions

tree-shaped charts, boxed frameworks, and direct lines of descent. The book discusses
the most attractive, longest-lasting choices of paper and writing materials as well as dif-
ferent styles of lettering, decorative titles, borders, illustrations, and coats of arms. It also
describes ways of expanding the pedigree information in book form, gives details of sim-
ple home-binding methods, and covers techniques of archival storage or of display of a
chart in a frame or on rollers.

The Secret Life of Stuff
A Manual for a New Material World
Julie Hill
Like The Omnivore’s Dilemma, this inventory of how we consume stuff is a wake-up call—
shocking but inspiring, facing facts and finding solutions
“Part of the charm of this calm but devastating “manual for a new material world” is
that Hill is genuinely interested in where her stuff comes from. . . . We can read about
the secret lives of wine glasses and the weird metals in mobile phones, of Styrofoam
cups and night soil, and analyze the ecological footprints of electronic book readers
and packets of crisps, without being bludgeoned by guilt.” —Independent
Taking readers on a journey through everything around us and how we use it, this book un-
covers the true origin and cost of stuff, and, while the inventory will shock, it is the first step
toward overcoming waste. Environmental issues can feel overwhelming—there seem to be
endless issues to be educated about, including climate change, biofuels, nuclear power, land-
fills, recycling, and non-renewables, but in fact it all comes down to one thing—stuff. How
people use the earth’s resources—whether a slice of bread or a cargo ship, a cotton shirt or
a nuclear reactor—affects the environment. Over-consumption is not your fault, but it is not
something you can ignore either. Hill shows how politicians, business people, and we, as con-
sumers and citizens, together can create a new, and better, material world.
Julie Hill has worked in the environment movement for 25 years for environmental group
Green Alliance, as well as for businesses and government.

Loose
The Future of Business Is Letting Go
Martin Thomas
How more open ways of thinking and operating are beginning to pervade even the largest
and most complex institutions, from global corporations to government departments
The future of business is loose—loose organizations, management styles, brands, thinking, and
communications. For example, Google breaks the traditional rules of branding by changing its
logo everyday, Doritos handed over the premium advertising slot in the Superbowl to a couple
of amateur filmmakers, and even Pope Benedict XVI has embraced the inclusive “Obama model”
of communication with YouTube broadcasts in 27 languages in an attempt to encourage de-
bate. By building on cutting-edge case studies and conversations with the smartest business peo-
ple from around the globe, this book challenges received wisdom and explains new ways of
managing companies, building brands, engaging with customers, and marketing products and
services. Shaking up the status quo and showing how prevailing business wisdom needs to change,
this book will help you change their terms of business, before they are changed for you.
Martin Thomas is a business consultant, trainer, and writer. He cofounded Nylon, a specialist
communication business, where his clients included Xerox, Morrison’s, and Sony Ericsson.

Straight & Crooked Thinking

Revised by R. H. Thouless and C. R. Thouless
First published in 1930, this classic demonstrates how the use of clear, rational thinking
and logic can win any argument, however emotionally charged the topic in question
Describing the typical flaws of reasoning in argument, this manual analyzes how language
can be used to deceive, and how to avoid being deceived. It teaches readers how to think
critically about such tactics as proof by example, false compromises, begging the question,
appealing to authority, appealing to consequences, equivocation, and more. It also teaches
readers how, by learning what is “straight,” rational language, and clear thought, they can
disentangle emotionally charged rhetoric and hold their own in any argument or debate.
R. H. Thouless (1894–1984) was a psychologist who wrote widely on scientific approaches
to psychic phenomena. C. R. Thomas is the author’s grandson.

Breaking Into the Dictionary: It’s His Word Against Theirs
Alex Horne
One man’s quest to coin a new word. If bootylicious can get in the dictionary . . .
“Very enjoyable . . . should spark the interest of word lovers and do-it-yourselfers, not
to mention fans of offbeat memoirs by A. J. Jacobs, Danny Wallace, and Dave Gorman.”
—Booklist
Alex Horne loves words. He loves them so much, in fact, that he decided to invent his own—
to create a brand new verbal concept and successfully implant it into the English language,
and the Oxford English Dictionary. But breaking into the dictionary was going to take more
than just a gentle word in the ear of the OED‘s editor, as Alex soon discovered. Evidence was
required—Alex needed proof that his word was in print and used by more people than just
him and his mom. He needed, to use the dictionary’s word, a “corpus” of examples, so a cor-
pus he resolved to create. And he gave himself 1,000 days in which to do it. This is the story
of what happened next. Did Alex get a word in the OED? What is a pratdigger? Are you al-
ready using one of Alex’s words without realizing it? You won’t regret spending your hard-
earned honk on this hugely entertaining book full of wordy trivia and funny tales of verbal
invention.
Alex Horne is a stand-up comedian, nominated in 2003 for the Perrier Award at the Edin-
burgh Fringe Festival. He is the author of Birdwatchingwatching, based on his show Bird-
watching, which appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe. His follow-up show, Wordwatching, also
appeared at the festival.

The Queen’s English
And How to Use It
Bernard C. Lamb
Clear, practical, and accessible, this book shows how everyone can write and use English
correctly, in both formal and informal settings
Showing how the English language, when used properly, has great power to instruct, move
and entertain people—but when used incorrectly, can lead to a lack of clarity and confu-
sion—this book informs in a light-hearted way, reminding readers how to use the basics of
grammar, punctuation, and spelling. It also delves further, teaching new tips and tricks of
style, rhetoric, vocabulary, and the use of foreign phrases, to give any writing piece or speech
a stylish and impressive flair. The book also shows the perils of using language incorrectly,
offering extremely—if unintentionally—humorous examples of how bad English can
result in an unintended meaning. Authoritative yet entertaining, and illustrated with pithy
drawings throughout, this is the ideal book for anyone who strives for clear, stylish, and
accurate communication.

Strictly English
The Correct Way to Write and Why It Matters
Simon Heffer
“Be in no doubt: the beer was drunk but the man drank the beer.” A master English styl-
ist shows how it’s done.
“If unexceptional facts (often supplied to the newspaper by a celebrity’s public rela-
tions adviser) are described as having been revealed when, in fact, all they have been is
disclosed, what verb is to be used for something that is a genuine revelation?”
Simon Heffer’s incisive and amusingly despairing emails to colleagues at the Daily Telegraph
about grammatical mistakes and stylistic slips have found their way on to the internet and
have attracted a growing band of ardent fans over recent years. Now he makes an impas-
sioned case for an end to the sloppiness that has become a hallmark of everyday speech and
writing, and shows how accuracy and clarity are within the grasp of anyone who is pre-
pared to take the time to master a few simple rules. If you wince when you see “different
than” in print, or are offended by people who think that “infer” and “imply” mean the same
thing, then this book will provide reassurance that you are not alone. If you have a suspi-
cion that it is wrong to say “the car collided with the tree” but are not quite sure why, then
it will set you straight. And if you believe that precise and elegant English really does mat-
ter, then it will prove required reading.
Simon Heffer is associate editor of the Daily Telegraph, where he writes on a wide range
of topics, from politics to culture and language. He was previously a columnist for the Daily
Mail and deputy editor of the Spectator. His previous books include Like the Roman: The
Life of Enoch Powell and Vaughn Williams.

Filthy English
The How, Why, When and What of Everyday Swearing
Peter Silverton
A frank, funny, and provocative journey through the international culture of swearing,
from the shocked 1970s to the naughty 1990s
“Enormously enjoyable. . . . Every page offers curious facts and ideas and one is left
with amazement at the vast profane creativity at work in the unique human project of
language.” —Observer
“With likeable digressiveness, Silverton chases down etymologies, charts changing
standards of taste. . . . The chapters on swearing in pop music, and on racist epithets
are particularly good.” —Guardian
For decades the most offensive word in the English language began with an F, then some
****s decided that it began with a C—although these days to really offend people you need
to use the N word. This popular history traces how, when, and why this transition and oth-
ers like it have occurred, and their significance. It also explores when and why English speak-
ers moved from blasphemy to sexual swear words, and such other questions as Are racial
insults the last remaining no-go area? Why do mother insults cut so deep in the Mediter-
ranean? And who gives a **** anyway? Considering the cultural nuances of profane lan-
guage, this book offers a witty look at swearing and the impact of its new acceptability on
language, manners, and society.
Peter Silverton has been a journalist for 30 years. He started as features editor at Sounds in
1976, covered punk, went on the Anarchy tour bus with the Sex Pistols and Clash, and later
wrote Glen Matlock’s autobiography, I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol. He has also worked as
an editor at the Guardian, the Mail on Sunday, the Sunday Express, and Time Out.

Crooked Talk
Five Hundred Years of the Language of Crime
Jonathon Green
An acclaimed slang expert investigates the long and venerable history of the language of
criminals, crooks, and con-men
“Mr. Slang, aka Jonathon Green.” —Martin Amis

“The most-acclaimed British lexicographer since Johnson has every right to blow off
(“late 18th century: to boast, to brag.” What did you think?) as he wraps up a new edi-
tion of this most mind-bendingly addictive guide to taboo talk.” —Independent on
Green’s Dictionary of Slang
The vocabulary of crime has a long history, in fact the first dictionary of words specifically
used by criminals, Hye-Way to the Spittel House, dates from as early as 1531. This survey looks
at 500 years of crooks and conmen, from the hedge-creepers and counterfeit cranks of the 16th
century to the blaggers and burners of the 21st. It also takes a substantial detour behind bars
into the world of prisons, and, of course, the swag, the hideouts, the getaway vehicles, and al-
lied “tools of the trade”—not forgetting the cops, peelers, fly cops, and all the other varieties
of the boys in blue. Arranged thematically, the book shows where particular words came from,
how they have evolved, and why they mean what they do. For anyone who has ever wondered
when the police were first referred to as pigs (the 18th century), why prison guards became
known as redraws (“warder” backwards), or what precisely the subtle art of dipology involves
(pickpocketing), this book has all the answers.
Jonathon Green is a writer, a broadcaster, and an expert on slang. His Dictionary of Slang first
appeared in 1998 to huge critical acclaim, and his definitive three-volume work was published
by Oxford University Press in 2011. His many other works include The Big Book of Bodily
Functions and The Big Book of Filth.

Arthur Veno
A large, fully illustrated edition of the definitive account of Australia’s outlaw motorcycle
clubs, with more than 150 photos of notorious incidents and characters, including many
never-before-seen images
“An entertaining read.” —Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly

“One of the few accounts that balances research, studies and statistics with inter-
views, firsthand accounts and personal stories. . . . Not many people get that kind
of access to OMCs and even fewer are able to write with such a balanced view.”
—NAVY News
Written by Australia’s leading expert on the scene, this book reveals the true picture of
the biker brotherhoods. Drawing on in-depth interviews, personal stories, and years of
meticulous research, it explains the rules and rituals of becoming a club member, tells of
landmark incidents in bike folklore, and profiles famous biker identities. It outlines the
changing nature of biker culture, including the rise of the so-called Nike bikies—an out-
law motorcycle club whose drug and turf wars threaten to spill onto the streets—and gov-
ernmental attempts to introduce controversial laws to control the violence. Now, for the
first time, he has uncovered never-before-seen images of the notorious characters, their
bikes, and clubs; the landmark incidents; the newspaper headlines; and much more to
create this illustrated edition. Complete with a glossary of biker terms and full of images
from the 1970s through today, this is the ultimate companion for any biker fan.
Arthur Veno is a mediator between biker clubs and police, the editor of The Mammoth
Book of Bikers, and the coauthor of Biker Chicks.

The Chieftain
True Crime through the Eyes of a Scotland Yard Detective
Chris Payne
True crime stories from the early days of the Metropolitan Police Detective Branch that
capture the essence of Victorian crime
George Clarke joined the Metropolitan Police in 1841. Though a “slow starter,” his career took
off when he was transferred to the small team of detectives at Scotland Yard in 1862, where
he became known as “The Chieftain.” This book paints the most detailed picture yet published
of detective work in mid-Victorian Britain, covering “murders most foul,” “slums and Soci-
ety,” the emergence of terrorism related to Ireland, and Victorian frauds. One particular fraud-
ster, Harry Benson, was to contribute to the end of Clarke’s career and lead to the first major
Metropolitan Police corruption trial in 1877. This fascinating book uses widespread sources
of information, including many of Clarke’s own case reports.
Chris Payne is the great-great-grandson of George Clarke, and has spent many years researching
Scotland Yard’s detective branch during the Victorian era.

Masters of Crime
Fiction’s Finest Villains and Their Real-life Inspirations
Adam Nightingale
The real men and women who inspired some of the most infamous villains ever to appear
in fiction, including Fagin, Professor Moriarty, Raffles, and others
Bringing together the stories of many real-life criminals, agitators, and activists, this history
shows how they were woven into fiction by some of Britain’s greatest writers, including Charles
Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle. Containing prison escapes, sensational trials, daring art thefts,

London’s Curse
Murder, Black Magic and Tutankhamun in the 1920s West End
Mark Beynon
The first book to examine the bizarre sequence of deaths—all attributed to the “Curse of
Tutankhamun”—that occurred in London’s 1920s West End
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, London was gripped by the supposed curse of Tutankhamun,
the Egyptian boy-king of antiquity, whose tomb was uncovered in 1923. In the years that fol-
lowed, more than 20 of those involved in the tomb’s exhumation perished in strange, often
terrifying circumstances, prompting the myth of the curse. With a blend of meticulous research
and educated conjecture, historian Mark Beynon explores the strange circumstances surrounding
a brutal murder at the Savoy Hotel, sinister happenings at Mayfair’s Bath Club, a mysterious
suicide at St. James’s Court, and a series of inexplicable deaths linked to the British Museum,
and uncovers a wealth of hitherto unpublished material that lays bare the truth behind these
fatalities. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of London’s glittering 1920s and 1930s, this
work delves deep into the murky underworld of a morally corrupt and decadent city, and un-
covers evidence that these deaths were not only linked by the ominous presence of Tutankhamum
himself, but also by a murderer hell-bent on retribution and dubbed by the press as the “Most
Wickedest Man in the World.”
Mark Beynon is a historian and the author of The Devil’s Plague.

Twentieth-Century Spies
Neil Root
The deadly world of high-level espionage is on full display in this heart-pumping exposé
on the world’s most glamorous and dangerous jobs
A unique investigation of the most important cases of the twentieth century, this exploration
of the world’s most thrilling, high-profile, and undercover jobs—including information newly
released under the Freedom of Information Act—is enthralling to the last page. Among oth-
ers, it includes the dark secrets of: Sidney Reilly, considered by many to be the greatest spy
of the century and an inspiration for Ian Fleming’s James Bond; the “Atom Bomb” spy Klaus
Fuchs, who gave the Russians atomic capability; George Blake, who betrayed more than 40
British agents, and is still alive in Moscow; and the Cambridge Spies, the double agents who
did more damage to British intelligence in the 20th century than any other group. Focusing
on the personalities of these enigmatic figures, this insightful book discusses their motiva-
tions and influences, and asks whether they were heroes, traitors, or just plain scapegoats.
Neil Root’s previous work includes Cold-Blooded Evil: The True Story of the Ipswich Stran-
gling and Who Killed Rosemary Nelson.

Conspiracy!
Ian Shircore
From the “truth” behind the sinking of the Titanic to what really happened on 9/11, this
look at some of the most popular conspiracy theories is a must-have for those eager to
debate the “facts” of history
Delving a little deeper into 99 of the most intriguing conspiracy theories, this fascinating
compendium looks at reasons to doubt each theory, and also reasons each theory could be
true. In 1939 Glenn Miller stepped on board a small single-engine aircraft at RAF Beford
and was never seen again—so what happened? In 1996 eyewitnesses reported a missile-like
object streaking towards TWA Flight 800 before the jumbo exploded, killing all 236 people
on board—what was it? In 1968 Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by a politically-mo-
tivated assassin—or was he? Conspiracy theories have been around since records began. Eas-
ily dismissed as nonsensical rantings, in fact every conspiracy theory is grounded in truth,
and that’s when things get interesting.

One Man’s Journey to Take On the World
Ed Hawkins
From tennis against McEnroe to attending an illegal cockfight with Britney Spears’ babysit-
ter—a hilarious account of one man’s attempts to gamble his way around the globe
Ed Hawkins grew up following his father, a horseracing journalist—the frantic betting ring
was his math class, and the press box, thick with the haze of cigarette smoke and exple-
tives, his English lesson. So when he found himself out of work after taking a misguided
gamble on his career, he took another: by deciding to wager his way around the globe. Set-
ting himself three challenges to see if he can get that life-changing win, the fun never runs
out—unlike the funds. He embarrasses himself playing poker with Hollywood’s finest at
the World Series in Las Vegas, challenges world champion Phil Taylor to a game of darts,
wastes dollars on rooster fighting with Britney Spears’ babysitter in Louisiana, and fleeces
pensioners on planes. Hawkins tries anything to stay afloat, culminating in a trip to a Glas-
gow bingo hall to try to land the odds that stare back at him in the mirror after being di-
agnosed with a rare illness.
Ed Hawkins has been a sports writer for 14 years, writing for the Guardian, Racing Post,
and the Times.

Pietro Forquet
Foreword by Hugh Kelsey
Edited by Ron Klinger
One of the great classics of bridge, this book explains how one of the most successful
teams ever known achieved its remarkable results
“A bridge classic—not only because it sets down the most outstanding bridge hands
played by the Italian Blue Team which dominated world-class bridge for over two
decades, but also because its author, Pietro Forquet, one of the most celebrated play-
ers of all time, shows that he should rank similarly as a bridge writer.” —Bridge Plus
“A wonderful book with wonderful hands.” —Daily Telegraph
A storehouse of extremely interesting hands, this book sets down the most outstanding
hands played by the Blue Team, the astonishingly successful Italian team which achieved
a record number of victories in world-class championships, a feat unlikely to be equaled.
The 140 chosen hands are first set out in single dummy form so that the reader can make
their own decisions about playing the hand before reading the analysis provided. Sections
at the end of the book give a summary of the bidding systems.

one of the all-time great bridge writers and analysts. He was the author of more than 50 outstanding bridge books

resented Australia in many world championships from 1976 to 2007. He has written more than 50 books, including

Magic Moments
The Greatest Royal Photographs of All Time
Arthur Edwards, MBE
Updated with new pictures of the royals, including William and Kate’s wedding, a col-
lection of photographs and stories from the photographer who has been by their side
for nearly three decades
As Royal Photographer for Britain’s bestselling daily newspaper, the Sun, for more than
30 years, Arthur Edwards has captured the most poignant and memorable moments in
the recent history of the monarchy, including such happy and loving moments as the start
of Charles and Diana’s marriage, Prince William’s first steps, and Prince Harry’s first day
at Eton. His images range from candid shots to intimate portraits of rare moments when
protocol is put aside and the mask of duty slips to reveal the true personalities behind
the public figures. A most familiar face on the Royal circuit, Princess Diana referred to
him as “our Arthur” and Prince Charles introduces him to world leaders when they are
on royal tours. Arthur also has some fascinating stories to go with his years’ worth of
magical and momentous pictures. He was there when Patti Palmer-Tomkinson announced
to the assembled press that her “Uncle Harry” would be joining her party—and out stepped
Prince Charles wearing false glasses, nose, and moustache. Assembled here is a compre-
hensive collection of photographs and images, accompanied by Arthur’s own words—a
valuable insider’s account of the history of the British royal family.
Arthur Edwards, MBE was awarded an MBE for his services to newspapers in 2003.

The Kings & Queens of England: A History
David Starkey
From the historian and bestselling author who was Katie Couric’s CBS live coanchor for
the royal wedding comes an outstanding exploration of the British monarchy, including
royal weddings
“A masterpiece of accessible history, underscored with profound scholarship. . . . I defy

anybody not to enjoy this book.” —Guardian
“[Starkey] has a lovely eye for a good story . . . he also has a nice line in snarky humor .
. . Starkey’s great skill is to weave big themes quietly into a rollicking narrative so that
you absorb them almost without noticing they are there.” —Daily Telegraph
“Truly, this is history made as fluent and compelling as excellent fiction.” —Booklist,
starred review, on Six Wives
Charting the British monarchy’s roller-coaster history, this compelling volume starts with the
warring tribal kings who continued to exercise their sway under the Romans. New material
on the late Middle Ages and the Wars of the Roses takes readers up to the turbulent reign of
the Tudors and on through the chaos of the Civil War that first unseated and then beheaded
a king. Bringing the tempestuous story up to the present, David Starkey guides readers through
the abdication of Edward VIII and the dissolution of the marriage between Prince Charles
and Lady Diana Spencer, with a new chapter on the marriage of Prince William and Kate Mid-
dleton, previous royal weddings, and the future of the monarchy. Bringing to life a cast of
colorful characters, this overview of the history of Britain through its kings and queens pro-
vides an in-depth examination of the monarchy, as well as a vivid and iconoclastic portrait
of British culture, politics, and nationhood, embodied in an institution that has defined the
realm for nearly 2,000 years.
David Starkey is the author of Elizabeth: The Struggle for the Throne and Six Wives: The Queens
of Henry VIII. He will be broadcasting on the upcoming royal wedding for the BBC. One of
the foremost contemporary commentators on the monarchy, he is a winner of the W. H. Smith
Prize and the Norton Medlicott Medal for Services to History, presented by Britain’s Histor-
ical Association.

Taming the Infinite
The Story of Mathematics from the First Numbers to Chaos Theory
Ian Stewart
From ancient Babylon to the last great unsolved problems, an acclaimed mathematician and

“Anyone who thinks math is dull will be delightfully surprised by this history. . . . Stew-
art does a fine job of balancing history and mathematical theory in a book as easy to
enjoy as it is to understand.” —Publishers Weekly on Why Beauty is Truth
“Stewart has a genius for explanation . . . mathematics doesn’t come more entertaining
than this.” —New Scientist on Professor Stewart’s Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities
In his famous straightforward style, Ian Stewart explains each major development—from the
first number systems to chaos theory—and considers how each affected society and changed
everyday life forever. Maintaining a personal touch, he introduces all of the outstanding math-
ematicians of history, from the key Babylonians, Greeks, and Egyptians, via Newton and
Descartes, to Fermat, Babbage, and Godel, and demystifies math’s key concepts without re-
course to complicated formulae. Written to provide a captivating historic narrative for the
non-mathematician, this book is packed with fascinating nuggets and quirky asides, and con-
tains plenty of illustrations and diagrams to illuminate and aid understanding of a subject
many dread, but which has made the world what it is today.

furthering public understanding of science, including the Royal Society’s Michael Faraday
Medal and the Gold Medal of the Institute for Mathematics. He is the author of more than

The Story of English

Philip Gooden
The extraordinary story of the development and spread of the English language, from Dark
Age Britain to the age of the Internet
Born as a Germanic tongue with the arrival in Britain of the Anglo-Saxons in the early me-
dieval period, heavily influenced by Norman French from the 11th century, and finally emerg-
ing as modern English from the late Middle Ages, the English language has grown to become
the linguistic equivalent of a superpower, now sometimes described as the world’s lingua franca.
This study tells the story of the English language in all its richness and variety, from the in-
triguing origins and changing definitions of common words such as “OK,” “beserk,” “cur-
few,” “cabal,” and “pow-wow;” to the massive transformations wrought in the vocabulary
and structure of the language by Anglo-Saxon and Norman conquest; through to the liter-
ary triumphs of Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, and the works of Shakespeare. This is a fas-
cinating tale of linguistic, social, and cultural transformation, accessibly and authoritatively
told by an author in perfect command of his material.

Australians
Origins to Eureka
Thomas Keneally
Now in paperback, the outstanding first volume of acclaimed author
Thomas Keneally’s major new three-volume history of Australia brings to
life the vast range of characters who have formed Australia’s national story
“A very readable yet thorough work.” —Library Journal

“This is a wonderful beginning of a project that should provide enjoyment
for both general readers and scholars” —Publisher’s Weekly starred review
“Keneally evokes these distant lives with concrete detail and vivid sympa-
thy . . . his people inhabit the same world we do—we meet them without
the hesitation of reaching across voids of time and space.”
—Sydney Morning Herald
“Tom has this extraordinary eye for the little details that turn a biograph-
ical note into a living, breathing life-size character.” —The Hon. Kevin
Rudd MP, Prime Minister of Australia
“In the style of the best historians [Keneally] allows the intrinsic power
of the tales he tells and the people who populate his pages to draw the
reader into a fully elaborated universe.” —New York Times on A Com-
monwealth of Thieves: The Improbable Birth of Australia
Convicts and Aborigines, settlers and soldiers, patriots and reformers,
bushrangers and gold seekers—it is from their lives and their stories that Tom
Keneally has woven a vibrant history to do full justice to the rich and color-
ful nature of Australia’s unique national character. The story begins by look-
ing at European occupation through Aboriginal eyes, moving between the city
slums and rural hovels of 18th-century Britain and the shores of Port Jackson.
Readers spend time on the low-roofed convict decks of transports and see the
bewilderment of the Eora people as they see the first ships of turaga, or “ghost
people.” They follow the daily round of Bennelong and his wife Barangaroo
and the tribulations of warrior Windradyne. Convicts like Solomon Wiseman
and John Wilson find their feet and even fortune, while Henry Parkes’ arrival
as a penniless immigrant gives few clues to the national statesman he was to
become. Chinese diggers trek to the goldfields, and revolutionaries like Italian
Raffaello Carboni and black American John Joseph bring readers the drama
of the Eureka uprising. Tom Keneally has brought to life the high and the low,
the convict and the free of early Australian society. This is truly a new history
of Australia, by an author of outstanding literary skill and experience, whose
own humanity permeates every page.
Thomas Keneally is a novelist, playwright, and nonfiction author who is best-
known for the Booker Prize–winning novel Schindler’s Ark, which was adapted
into the movie Schindler’s List. His other titles include the Penguin Lives bi-
ography Abraham Lincoln, American Scoundrel: The Life of the Notorious Civil
War General Dan Sickles, and A Commonwealth of Thieves: The Improbable
Birth of Australia.

Days that Changed the World
The 50 Defining Events of World History
Hywel Williams
A concise history of the world told through the past’s most momentous events
On September 28, 480, the Athenian navy destroyed the Persian invasion fleet in
the Bay of Salamis. Had the Persians won, such noted figures as Plato, Aristotle,
and Alexander along with democracy itself might have been erased from history.
This original survey charts 50 such defining and revolutionary moments from the
annals of history, concluding with September 11, 2001, and shows how the events
of a single day can shape the future in a myriad of ways. Some of the events mark
the end of an era while others paved the way for something new, and while many
are bloody battles, others are momentous decisions or breathtaking discoveries. To-
gether, they are remembered as powerful symbols of their time and pivotal moments
in Western history.
Hywel Williams is a noted historian, a columnist, and the author of Cassell’s Chronol-
ogy of World History, Great Speeches of Our Time, and History’s Most Magnifi-
cent Rulers.

Herring
A History of the Silver Darlings
Mike Smylie
The unusual history of the herring and those whose lives have revolved around
getting it to the tables of the masses
The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For more than
two millennia, herring have been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal
peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved
in the catching, processing, and sale of herring, and many towns on Britain’s East
Coast grew rich on the backs of the “silver darlings.” This book looks at the effects
of the herring on the people who caught them, the unique ways of life, the supersti-
tions of the fisher folk, their boats, and the communities who lived for the silver dar-
lings. With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known
history of the herring—and for those who have neglected the silver darlings for lesser
fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouthwatering recipes to try.
Mike Smylie is a maritime historian and naval architect who has written extensively
on fishing vessels and the fishing industry, including Fishing the European Coast. He
can often be spotted at fishing festivals manning his herring smokery.

Knife, Fire and Boiling Oil
The Early History of Surgery
W. J. Bishop
Including graphic accounts of wartime surgery, wound treatments, blood transfusions, and
body snatching, this history will inform and intrigue medical professionals and general
readers alike
Recounting the story of the early history of surgery, when surgeons were equipped with just
knives, fire, and boiling oil, this book celebrates the dedication and ingenuity of surgery’s
early pioneers and documents some of their remarkable surgical procedures. The two events
which mark the beginning of “modern” surgery are the introduction of anesthesia and anti-
septic, both in the second half of the 19th-century, however, present day knowledge and tech-
niques have resulted from the cumulative observations and experiments of centuries. This
history includes ancient Babylonian and Assyrian surgical laws, Egyptian textbooks from 3000
BC, the second-century Chinese surgeon Hua To, Hindu physicians who created artificial noses
hundreds of years before plastic surgery, and the brilliant William Cheselden, who could re-
move a stone from a bladder in less than a minute.
W. J. Bishop (1903–1961) was a highly regarded librarian, editor, and historian. After more
than 30 years in libraries he decided to devote the remainder of his life to his own researches
in medical bibliography and history. He was the editor of Medical History, the only British
journal devoted to the history of medicine, and was an honorary member of the Royal So-
ciety of Medicine.

Not Your Ordinary Doctor

A Cavalcade of Artistic Apothecaries, Footloose Physicians
and Murdering Medicos
Jim Leavesley
From Chekhov to Guevera, sports heroes to serial killers, this fascinating
collection of historical curiosities presents 60 doctors who achieved fame
or notoriety for reasons other than their medical prowess
These stories of medical truants who found fame in fields other than medi-
cine are in turns heroic and absurd, dazzling and ghoulish, inspired and tragic,
and never, ever dull. Meet Dr. Joseph Bell—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s eccentric
lecturer and his inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. Cringe as a demented Joseph
Stalin imprisons and viciously tortures each of his eight doctors because he
thought they were poisoning him. Follow John Keats, who never practiced
medicine because his literary career took off, to Italy, where he tragically bat-
tles terminal illness. There are the doctors who attended royalty and other
rulers such as Elizabeth I, Napoleon, George III, and Alexander the Great—
a brave and special breed of physician indeed; those who were artists, mu-
sicians, and writers such as Maugham, Conan Doyle, Borodin, and Chekhov;
others still who were sports heroes, adventurers, and inventors like Grace, Livingston, Guillotin, Guevera, and Gattling.
And then there are the deranged mass murderers like Banda, Webster, Ruxton, and too many Nazis to name. This titillat-
ing collection is filled with historical curiosities, whimsy, and fascinating, fresh speculation.
Jim Leavesley retired after 33 years as a physician in general practice. He is the coauthor of How Isaac Newton Lost His
Marbles and What Killed Jane Austen? For the past 25 years he has presented a weekly medical history segment on the
radio, and in 1993, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for “services to medicine in general and medical
history in particular.”

Pigeon Guided Missiles
And 49 Other Ideas that Never Took Off
James Moore and Paul Nero
Scotland’s Panamanian colony, the nuclear-powered car, a dome over all of Manhattan, the
eagle-powered flying machine, the fire-extinguished hand grenade—history’s heroic failures
During World War II, behavioral psychologist B. F. Skinner discovered that pigeons could be
trained to recognize an object and to peck at an image of it; when loaded into the nose-cone
of a missile, these pecks could be translated into adjustments to the guidance fins, steering the
projectile to its target—a plan that was abandoned by the US Navy for more conventional so-
lutions. This guide reveals this and other fascinating tales of daring plans from history designed
to change the world, yet which ended in failure, or even disaster. Some became the victims of
the eccentric figures behind them, others succumbed to financial and political misfortune, and
a few were just too far ahead of their time. Discover why the great groundnut scheme cost
British taxpayers £49 million; why the bid to build Minerva, a whole new country in the Pa-
cific Ocean, sank; and why the first Channel Tunnel (started in 1881, more than a century be-
fore the one we know today) hit a dead end.

The Stories of Sailing Inventors and Innovations
George Drower
Foreword by Ben Ainslie
The woman who made the first solo transatlantic crossing, the invention of navigation
lights, the story behind the invention of the compass, how Francis Beaufort devised the
Beaufort wind scale, and why William Petty invented the catamaran in 1662—it’s all in
here, and much more
“An informative and entertaining tribute to sailing’s unsung heroes and heroines.”
—Maritime Journal
Many sailing and naval history buffs know the story of modern sailing pioneers, but what
about those unsung heroes who invented the mechanisms and technology which enabled sailors
to speed across the oceans and navigate more safely? This fascinating book reveals the ex-
traordinary stories behind the apparatus which many take for granted. Readers will learn
how the Frenchman Boulanger produced the first binoculars in 1859, enabling sailors to spy
landmarks more effectively; and how William Armstrong earned sailors’ gratitude by devis-
ing the yacht winch. From cloud classification and screw propellers to radio telephones and
the measurement of tides, from the sextant to the first fiberglass boat, this collection of sto-
ries, with a foreword by Ben Ainslie, Olympic gold medal winner, will inspire and intrigue
sailors and would-be sailors everywhere.
George Drower is an historian and the author of Gardeners, Gurus and Grubs. Ben Ainslie
is a sailor and a three-times Olympic gold medalist.

Titanic in Photographs
Steve Hall and Bruce Beveridge
Edited by Art Braunschweiger
Foreword by Scott Andrews and Daniel Klistorner
This story of the Titanic in pictures, from build to maiden voyage, includes
many rare images from collectors’ archives
The name Titanic has become synonymous with catastrophe, and eclipses the
fuller story of this legendary luxurious liner. This evocative collection of pho-
tographs tells her full story, from the shipyards of Harland & Wolff and its
early vessels, with the backdrop of the great race to build the biggest and best
passenger liner, to the frenzy of excitement surrounding her launch. Looking
at her officers and crew, as well as her stops at Cherbourg and Queenstown—
including some special, rare photographs—the book follows the story to its
inevitable conclusion, considering the lifeboats, the presence of the Carpathia,
and the aftermath of the disaster.

is a former trustee. Bruce Beveridge is an honorary lifetime member of the British
Titanic Society and a member of the Titanic Historical Society and the Irish

The Olympic Class Ships

Olympic, Titanic, Britannic
Mark Chirnside
Revised and enhanced, this edition includes a new color section with rare paintings and
deck-plans, many new illustrations throughout, expanded text, new appendices, and recent
developments on the wreck sites
This is the story of the three most famous sister ships of all time. In a London dining room
in 1907, the chairmen of the White Star Line and the Belfast shipbuilder Harland & Wolff
gathered round a table to discuss the construction of the three largest ships in the world. They
were to be the White Star’s answer to the Cunard flyers Lusitania and Mauretania and were
designed to take the cream of the transatlantic traffic. Built at extraordinary cost, the three
were designed not to be the fastest but to be the most luxurious of floating palaces. Only the
first ship of the class ever reached New York. Titanic sank on her maiden voyage and Bri-
tannic was converted into a hospital ship and sank without taking a fare-paying passenger.
Olympic, however, served as the White Star flagship from 1911 until 1935 when she was ig-
nominiously scrapped.
Mark Chirnside is the author of RMS Aquitania, RMS Majestic, and RMS Olympic.

The Man Who Sank Titanic?
The Troubled Life of Quartermaster Robert Hichens
Sally Nilsson
With previously unpublished research and family photographs, this book by Hichens’ grand-
daughter sets the record straight about the Titanic quartermaster who steered into an ice-
berg and kept control of a lifeboat
Robert Hichens has gone down in history as the man who was given the famous order to steer
the Titanic away from the iceberg and failed. A key witness at both U.S. and British Inquiries,
he returned to a livelihood where fellow crewmen considered him jinxed. But Robert had a
long career and was a hardworking, ambitious seaman. A fisherman at 19, he quickly became
a junior officer in the merchant navy and in 1910 was part of a remarkable salvage operation
to refloat a 14,330 ton liner. In World War II he was part of a cargo ship convoy on route to
Africa where his ship dodged mines, U-boats, and enemy aircraft. To Robert, being at sea was
everything but the dark memories of the Titanic were never far away and in 1933 a failed
murder attempt after a bitter feud nearly cost Robert his life. Here Robert’s great-granddaughter
Sally Nilsson seeks to set the record straight and reveal the true character of the man her fam-
ily knew. This is one man’s story of survival, betrayal and determination.
Sally Nilsson spent most of her career working in sales, including publishing.

Titanic Captain
The Life of Edward John Smith
G. J. Cooper
The definitive account of the life and career of the respected and popular captain of the
Titanic includes original research drawing on the ship’s logs, crew lists, newspapers, and
first-hand accounts
Commander Edward John Smith’s career had been a remarkable example of how a man
from a humble background could get far in the world, and this biography tracks the fasci-
nating career and many voyages of a seasoned captain. Born to a working-class family, he
went to sea at the age of 17 and rose rapidly through the ranks of the merchant navy, serv-
ing first in sailing vessels and later in the new steamships of the White Star Line. By 1912,
he was their senior commander and regarded by many in the shipping world as the
“millionaire’s captain.” In 1912, Smith was given command of the new RMS Titanic for
her maiden voyage, but what should have been among the crowning moments of his long
career at sea turned rapidly into a nightmare following the Titanic’s collision with an ice-
berg. In a matter of hours the supposedly unsinkable ship sank, taking more than 1,500
people with her, including Captain Smith. This account dispels myths about the man and
tracking his movements and motives in detail on that fateful night.
G. J. Cooper has worked as a typewriter mechanic, a museum illustrator, a supply teacher, and
now a museum presentations’ assistant. He also has a Masters degree in Victorian Studies.

The World War I Story

Chris McNab
An accessible history of the First World War, full of quotes, timelines,
and information boxes
The World War I Story is the perfect pocket narrative of one of the largest
conflicts in human history, richly illustrated with rare photographs and art-
work. It traces the history of the Great War from June 28, 1914, through
November 11, 1918, when Germany agreed to a ceasefire. It explains how
World War I saw a significant change in the way wars were fought, as the
cavalry charge and “staged” battles were consigned to history, making the
way for a complex system of trenches, heavy artillery, machine-guns, and
poison gas. The enormous impact of the war is also discussed, as it changed
the face of Europe forever.
Chris McNab is a writer who has published more than 30 books, including The Great Book of Guns; How to Survive
Anything, Anywhere; The Illustrated History of the Vietnam War; Modern Military Uniforms; The SAS Mental Endurance
Handbook; and Special Forces Survival Guide.

The World War II Story

Chris McNab
A concise, richly illustrated narrative of the war and the effect it had
on human life and history
In September 1939, Hitler’s Nazi Germany invaded Poland, sparking in-
ternational condemnation and declarations of war on Germany from France
and most of the British Empire and Commonwealth. From that beginning,
this pocket history traces one of the greatest wars in history. It discusses
how World War II witnessed the mobilization of more than 100 million
military personnel, “total war” on a scale that had not been previously
experienced by any of the countries involved. It examines how the war
eclipsed everything—industry, technology, the economy, and home life; and
changed generations of people who grew up under the shadow of war. It also discusses the legacy of the deadliest con-
flict in human history and over 70 million people, and the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare to this day.
Chris McNab is a writer who has published more than 30 books, including The Great Book of Guns; How to Survive

The Tractor Story

Duncan Wherrett
From the steam engine to the turbo diesel—more than 100 years of trac-
tor development
More than 70 different tractors are shown in this photographic history, many
in action and in many different countries. It traces their development from the
first steam engines on wheels which used belts to drive farm machinery and
developed into traction engines, used on farms by pulling a plough on cables
between two engines. Moving into the 20th-century, it discusses stationary in-
ternal combustion engines which began to be put on wheels and moved around
a farm to drive threshing machines by belt. Firms like Allis-Chalmers, Benz,
Lloyd, Jelbart, Glasgow, Fordson, Bates, and Hart-Parr are remembered, fa-
mous names which have faded away or been taken over. A few companies, such
as Case and Massey, started in the middle of the 19th-century and continue today on a global scale. John Deere started mak-
ing ploughs in 1837 and is now the largest manufacturer in the world. Developments which have caused a giant leap forward
are discussed, such as the use of rubber pneumatic tyres rather than metal wheels, turbo-charged diesel engines, and the hy-
draulic three-point hitch system designed by Ferguson, which is still used today in some form on most modern machines.
Duncan Wherrett is a professional photographer.

The Cunard Story

Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross
The “Story” treatment is given to the name that is synonymous with the
most famous ocean liners in the world—a must-have addition to any mar-
itime library
The history of this iconic Atlantic passenger line is detailed, from the early
days of Samuel Cunard’s Britannia, to the world’s largest ocean liner, Queen
Mary 2. Following the company’s 170-year history, this brightly illustrated
book begins with the early days of the paddle steamer, through to Cunard’s
efforts in World War I (Mauretania and Aquitania) as well as World War II
(Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth). No history of Cunard would be com-
plete without detailing QE2, the longest-serving ocean liner of all time, and
her role in the Falklands campaign. The story ends with the current Queens: QM2, QV, and the new QE.
Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross collaborated previously on QE2: A Photographic Journey, The QE2 Story, QM2: A Pho-
tographic Journey, and The QM2 Story.

The Hornet Story

Tony Holmes
The story of the revolutionary strike-fighter that has been at the fore-
front of American air combat for nearly three decades
From failed Air Force fighter to the Navy’s “universal soldier,” this history
chronicles the evolution of the Hornet. Built to replace both the A-7 Corsair
II light attack aircraft and the F-4 Phantom II fighter in Navy service, the
F/A-18 evolved from Northrop’s YF-17 in the late 1970s. Production aircraft
reached the Navy in May 1980, with the Marine Corps receiving Hornets
two years later. More than 800 examples would eventually be built for Amer-
ican service, with a further 500 aircraft being sold to seven export customers.
Still very much in frontline use with the Navy and Marine Corps today, the
“legacy” Hornet, as all non-Super Hornet variants have been dubbed, pro-
vides the backbone for carrier-based naval aviation.
Tony Holmes is an aviation expert whose books include Jane’s Vintage Aircraft Recognition Guide,
Jane’s U.S. Military Aircraft Recognition Guide, and Warbird Legends.

The Men Who Would Be King

Suitors to Queen Elizabeth I
Josephine Ross
The story of the many suitors of Elizabeth I—one of the most eligible brides in 16th-cen-
tury Europe
“The appeal to women here is strong, of course, but this is complex and fascinating his-
tory from any angle.” —Publishers Weekly
“Splendid stuff, ‘history with attitude.’ Written with energy and aplomb, it is a stirring
and yet salutary story, well told.” —Times
In the only history available on this ever-fascinating subject, readers will meet the many men
who competed fruitlessly for Elizabeth’s hand and affections. From her childhood—over-
shadowed by the marital upheavals of her father Henry VIII and the tragic first encounter
with courtship, to the fantastical flirtations of her old age, Elizabeth refused to commit her-
self to any man. During the marriage negotiations, which spanned half a century, romance
blended with diplomacy as one illustrious suitor after another endeavored to ally himself to
her in the most intimate of treaties. She played one suitor against another, exploiting her sit-
uation to the full both for England’s profit and her pleasure. One man did come close to win-
ning her—ambitious, devious Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, suspected by many of having
murdered his wife, was the most persistent of the suitors to the Queen, and though he never
attained the prize he longed for, he was dearly loved by Elizabeth all her life.

Emperor of the West
Charlemagne and the Carolingian Empire
Hywel Williams
The life, times, and historical legacy of the man who created modern Europe
Every facet of the rule and legacy of one of the most remarkable rulers in European history
is explored in this magisterial new study. Through his foreign conquests and internal reforms,
Charlemagne is a defining figure of both Western Europe and the Middle Ages. Crowned
king of the Franks in 768, he expanded their kingdoms into an empire that incorporated
much of western and central Europe, recreating a single Christian imperium in the heart-
lands of the old Western Roman empire for the first time since the decline and fall of that
polity in the late fifth-century AD. After his imperial coronation Charlemagne was seen as
a rival, in power and majesty, of the Byzantine Emperor in Constantinople. Charlemagne’s
empire, and the cultural golden age that is associated with it, encouraged the formation of
a common European identity. This study is a major contribution to early medieval history,
and is essential reading for anyone interested in the wider history of Europe.
Hywel Williams is a noted historian, columnist, and the author of Cassell’s Chronology of
World History, Great Speeches of Our Time, and History’s Most Magnificent Rulers.

Macbeth
A True History
Fiona Watson
A respected historian of medieval Scotland releases the authentic historical Macbeth from
a prison of literary and folkloric myth
“Watson is a fine historian and in this well-executed biography of one of Scotland’s

most famous kings she reveals that the real monarch of the 11th-century bears little re-
semblance to Shakespeare’s famous creations. . . . A fascinating read through Scotland’s
Middle Ages.” —Big Issue
“She does an excellent job of setting the stage for her hero with her thorough survey of
the period in which he lived and discussion of the nature of early medieval kingship.”
—Sunday Times
Thanks to Shakespeare, the name Macbeth has become a byword for political ambition re-
alized by bloody violence. Fiona Watson has uncovered, buried beneath the layers of myth,
a history that is entirely different from, but just as extraordinary as, that recounted by Shake-
speare. As ruler of Alba (Scotland) Macbeth sat on one of the longest-established thrones in
Western Europe. It is true that he killed Duncan, the previous king, but this was the normal,
if brutal, method of regime change in Dark Age Scotland. The reality is that Macbeth quickly
established himself as an effective and popular ruler. As a Celtic warrior-king, he was responsible
for the maintenance of his people’s dominance of northern Britain. A friend to the Church
and valiant protector of his people, the real Macbeth epitomized the contemporary model of
vigorous medieval kingship. His fascinating story, long overdue in the telling, is done full jus-
tice in this authoritative and compelling narrative.
Fiona Watson is a historian, a writer, and a broadcaster. She is the author of Scotland, A His-
tory and Under the Hammer: Edward I and Scotland, 1296–1305. She has hosted many tel-
evision and radio series, including a radio program on Macbeth.

Homer’s Secret Odyssey
Florence Wood and Kenneth Wood
The extraordinary story of the breaking of an Ancient Greek code
Homer is renowned as the finest of the storytellers who for countless generations passed down
by word of mouth the myths and legends of Ancient Greece. Yet, for some 2,500 years, there
have been persistent folk memories that his genius extended far beyond literature and that sci-
entific knowledge was hidden in his stories of heroes, villains, gods, ghosts, monsters, and witches.
Research now reveals that at a time when the Greeks did not have a written script, Homer con-
cealed an astonishing range of learning about calendar making and cycles of the sun, moon,
and planet Venus in the Odyssey, his epic of the Fall of Troy and the adventures of the war-
rior-king Odysseus.
Florence Wood and Kenneth Wood have coauthored four books with historical themes, including
Homer’s Secret Iliad: The Epic of the Night Skies Decoded.

The Last Legionary

Life as a Roman Soldier in Britain AD400
Paul Elliott
A meticulously detailed account of life as a Roman legionary in the last days of the Roman
Empire—from battle to rations, camp duties to clothing
In 400 AD, Roman rule in Britain was collapsing as the thinly stretched empire was besieged
on all sides. This guide explores all aspects of Late Roman military life, from recruitment to
weaponry, marriage to wages, warfare to religion. It explores the world of the Roman soldier
through the eyes of one man, posted to a British garrison at the edge of the empire, and fol-
lows the soldier’s life through training, battle, marriage, and business dealings, finally following
him south as he leaves Britain for good in defense of Rome. When the legionary finally es-
capes the worst posting in the Roman Empire, it is only to join what effectively became a death
march over the Alps, without food or shelter. Readers of this mesmerizing account will know
what it was like to face the chanted battle cry and the charge and slashing axes of the Goths,
and why the order “March out!” was so terrifying.

The Last Days of Richard III

John Ashdown-Hill
What Richard III did in his last five months, what happened to his body, and how his DNA
was found in Canada
“An essential read for Ricardians and all interested in studying the Wars of the Roses, here
accessible to them without being marred by hundreds of years of interpretations, rumors,
and biases.” —Library Journal
A new and uniquely detailed exploration of Richard’s last 150 days explores these events from
the standpoint of Richard himself and his contemporaries. By deliberately avoiding the hind-
sight knowledge that he will lose the Battle of Bosworth Field, this book presents a new Richard—
no passive victim, awaiting defeat and death, but a king actively pursuing his own policies and
agenda. It also reexamines the aftermath of Bosworth—the treatment of Richard’s body, his bur-
ial, and the construction of his tomb. Based on newly discovered evidence and wider insights it
explores the motives underlying these events. And there is the fascinating story of why and how
Richard III’s DNA was rediscovered, alive and well, and living in Canada. This is a stimulating
and thought-provoking account of the end of Richard’s life—even readers very familiar with his
short life will discover a new and fascinating picture of him.

Genealogists, the Richard III Society, and the Centre Européen d’Etudes Bourguignonnes. He is

In the Footsteps of William Wallace
In Scotland and Northern England
Alan Young
Photographs by Michael J. Stead
A superbly illustrated journey through the landscape and events of the life of the iconic
Scottish knight who was brought to life in the film Braveheart
For nearly 700 years debate has raged over the true nature of William Wallace and his role
in Scotland’s turbulent history—was he the Braveheart of Blind Harry’s legendary account,
the bold, but savage, hero of the Scottish wars, or, as some contemporary chroniclers attested,
was he nothing but a villainous thief and vagrant fugitive? This book draws on a wide range
of contemporary and modern sources to look behind the figure of legend to find Wallace’s
true character. It traces Wallace’s journey from his modest upbringing in south-west Scotland
and his first victory as a “guerilla” leader and military commander at Stirling Bridge to his
painful death seven years later, including his “invasion” of Northumberland and Cumber-
land. This is an essential traveling companion for a journey through Wallace’s kingdom and
to learn more about the myth and the man.
Alan Young and Michael J. Stead previously collaborated on In the Footsteps of Robert Bruce.

Tudor Survivor
The Life & Times of Courtier William Paulet
Margaret Scard
A captivating portrait of a great man who for many years held the purse strings of England,
and both witnessed and was instrumental in the greatest events of the period
From the Siege of Boulogne to the execution of two queens, the Reformation, and the begin-
nings of Elizabeth’s Golden Age, Paulet was there, and the story of his fascinating life reveals
both the nature of life at the Tudor court and the birth of the modern nation state. The ulti-
mate courtier, Henry Paulet served at the courts of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Eliza-
beth for an astonishing 46 years and was one of the men responsible for introducing the changes
in religious, economic, and social issues which shaped England as it is today. He was a judge
at the trials of Fisher, More, and the alleged accomplices of Anne Boleyn, and though born a
commoner, by his death he was the senior peer in England and, as Lord High Treasurer, he held
one of the most influential positions at court.
Margaret Scard works as an interpretative historian at Hampton Court Palace.

Wellington’s Right Hand

Rowland, Viscount Hill
Joanna Hill
From the shadow of Wellington, a compelling portrait of a great soldier of the Napoleonic
Wars and one of history’s forgotten heroes
One of the most unlikely soldiers of his day, Rowland, Viscount Hill was imaginative, intelli-
gent, and brave. He fought some of the most famous battles in military history, and this book
traces his career. Frequently leading from the front in some of the Napoleonic Wars’ most deadly
battles, Hill was given his own “detached” corps with which he fought his way through Spain,
Portugal, and France. He became so indispensible to Wellington that when the great man was
asked to let Hill leave the Peninsula to lead an army elsewhere, he retorted “Would you cut
off my right hand?” Based on the Hill’s own papers, including his correspondence with Napoleon,
and a wide range of primary and secondary sources, this work will have great appeal for stu-
dents of the period and Napoleonic enthusiasts alike.
Joanna Hill is the author of The Hills of Hawkstone and spent several years working for the
Institute of Fine Arts in New York. She is the great, great, great niece of Lord Hill and as such
has unique access to the family papers.

Joan of Arc
A Military Leader
Kelly Devries
A world authority on warfare in the Middle Ages offers a fresh insight into the military
skills of the young girl who led the French Army to victory
In 1428 a young girl from a small French village approached the royal castle of Vaucouleurs
with a now famous tale. Heavenly voices, she said, had told her to seek out the Dauphin, Charles,
so that he might give her an army with which to deliver France from its English occupiers. The
ensuing tale of Joan’s military success is told here in a gripping and authoritative narrative.
Previous works have concentrated on the religious and feminist aspects of Joan’s career; this
is the first to address the vital issue of what it was that made her the heroine she became.
Kelly Devries is a historian specializing in warfare of the Middle Ages. His books include In-
fantry Warfare in the Early Fourteenth Century and Medieval Military Technology. He has been

Shooting the Front

Allied Aerial Reconnaisance in the First World War
Terrence Finnegan
A meticulously researched history of British, French, and American aerial surveillance on the
Western Front
World War I marked the beginning of the era of modern warfare, a conflict that demanded rev-
olutionary technology to break the vicious stalemate in which the armies of Europe found them-
selves. One such technology was aerial reconnaissance and photography, which together with
the growing use of phone tapping and radio intercepts, changed the nature of war forever. De-
scribing the evolution of aerial photography during World War I, this text is packed with data,
information, and meticulous research from essential archives including the National Archives
in College Park, Maryland and London’s National Archives. It shows not only how important
aerial reconnaissance was to the war effort, but also how it became the foundation for mod-
ern-day exploitation of imagery and geospatial intelligence used to guide today’s decision mak-
ers on global issues, and shaped intelligence work for generations to come.
Terrence Finnegan served 30 years in parallel careers in the Air Force Reserve and in the De-
partment of Defense as a senior level civil servant supporting NATO and NORAD alliances. He has written
articles for Over the Front, Over the Top, and Studies in Intelligence. He lives in Sacramento, California.

Hitler’s Foreign Executioners
Europe’s Dirty Secret
Christopher Hale
How and why more than one million non-Germans joined Hitler’s “war of annihilation”
Revealing for the first time Heinrich Himmler’s master plan for Europe, this book discusses
his dream of an SS empire with no place for either the Nazi Party or Adolf Hitler. His aston-
ishingly ambitious plan depended on the recruitment of tens of thousands of “Germanic” peo-
ples to build an “SS Europa.” This book, researched in archives all over Europe and using
first-hand testimony, exposes Europe’s dirty secret—that nearly half a million Europeans and
more than a million Soviet citizens enlisted in the armed forces of the Third Reich—to fight
a crusade against “Jewish-Bolshevism.” No other historian has examined the connections be-
tween these SS “foreign legions” (both police and Waffen-SS) and the Holocaust. Even today,
some apologists claim that the foreign volunteers were merely soldiers “like any other” and
fought a decent war against Stalin’s Red Army. Christopher Hale demonstrates conclusively
that these surprisingly common views are mistaken.
Christopher Hale is a writer and television documentarian whose previous book, Himmler’s
Crusade, won the prestigious Giuseppe Mazotti Prize in 2006. He has produced and directed
programs for the BBC and the Discovery Channel.

Nazi Princess
Hitler, Lord Rothermere and Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe
Jim Wilson
The full story of the woman of Jewish descent who spied for Hitler among British high
society, persuaded the Daily Mail to support the Nazis, and was awarded the Gold Cross
of the Nazi Party
Stefanie von Hohenlohe was born to a middle-class Viennese family and of partly Jewish de-
scent. After marrying and divorcing a German prince, she became a close confidante of Hitler,
Göring, Himmler (who declared her an “honorary Aryan”), and von Ribbentrop. After arriv-
ing in London in 1932, she moved in the most exclusive circles, arranging the visits of the
Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Lord Halifax to Germany in 1937. Most notoriously, she
was paid a retainer of £5,000 per year by Lord Rothermere, owner of the Daily Mail and the
Daily Mirror and an open supporter of the Nazi regime. In 1939 she fled to the U.S.; a memo
to President Roosevelt described her as a spy “more dangerous than ten thousand men.” This
new biography uses recently declassified MI5 files and FBI memos to examine what motivated
both Stefanie and Rothermere, shedding light on the murky goings-on behind the scenes in
Britain, Germany, and the U.S. before and during World War II.
Jim Wilson served in the RAF before spending 40 years in print and television journalism, re-
tiring as director of news for Anglia Television. His great-aunt introduced Stephanie von Ho-
henlohe to Rothermere.

Operation Barbarossa
Hitler’s Invasion of Russia 1941
David M. Glantz
An expert explains the operation that changed the course of World War II
Here, David Glantz challenges the time-honored explanation that poor weather, bad terrain, and Hitler’s
faulty strategic judgment produced German defeat, and reveals how the Red Army thwarted the Ger-
man Army’s dramatic and apparently inexorable invasion before it achieved its ambitious goals. On
June 22, 1941, Hitler unleashed his forces on the Soviet Union. Spearheaded by four powerful Panzer
groups and protected by an impenetrable curtain of air support, the seemingly invincible Wehrmacht
advanced from the Soviet Union’s western borders to the immediate outskirts of Leningrad, Moscow,
and Rostov in the shockingly brief period of less than six months. The sudden, deep, relentless Ger-
man advance virtually destroyed the entire peacetime Red Army and captured almost 40 percent of
European Russia before expiring inexplicably at the gates of Moscow and Leningrad.
David M. Glantz is a leading expert on the Eastern Front during World War II. He is the author of
many books, including Armageddon in Stalingrad, The Battle of Kursk, and When Titans Clashed.
He lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich

Nine Lives Under the Nazis
Louis Hagen
Through the lives of nine ordinary Germans, Louis Hagen provides a salutary and unforget-
table record of the German people in the shadow of the swastika
When Louis Hagen returned to Berlin immediately after the war, he had survived incarceration and
torture in a German concentration camp as well as the Battle of Arnhem, seen his family flee their
home, and had many relatives die at the hands of the Third Reich. He wanted to understand why
so many Germans had welcomed the Nazi Party, and whether they were they now humbled and
wiser. Hagen interviewed nine people he had known before the war who represented a wide spec-
trum of German society—an SA officer, a businessman, a doctor, a socialite, a journalist, a profes-
sional soldier, an SS wife, a member of the Hitler Youth, and a mischling, or half Jew. Four were
Nazis, three were collaborators, and two were anti-Nazi. How could the Baroness sent to Theriesen-
stadt concentration camp hold salons for ex-Nazis after the war? The very fact that none of these
people was a high-ranking Nazi official or a survivor of the Holocaust provides an insight into the
Third Reich that is a revelation even for those who know this period of history intimately.
Louis Hagen (1916–2000), born into a Jewish banking family, was sent to Schloss Lichtenburg concentration camp for writing
an anti-Nazi joke on a postcard to his sister. A high-ranking Nazi judge and friend of the family got him out and he escaped to
England. He is the author of several books, including Arnhem Lift based on that experience.

Rocket and Jet Aircraft of the Third Reich

Terry C. Treadwell
The design, development, and application of the Nazi aircraft—a story of technological ge-
nius harnessed by the pressures of war
Throughout much of World War II the Nazis’ military technology was far more advanced than
anything the Allies could produce. Here, an aviation historian tells the story of the planes and
weaponry that represented the cutting edge of aviation technology, detailing their design, de-
velopment, and application, and the struggles of those who built them. German scientists and
engineers were always under pressure from the German High Command during the conflict, and
as it drew to a close they were caught between the Allies who wished to control them, and the
SS who would stop at nothing to prevent them falling into Allied hands. This book provides un-
rivalled insight into the aircraft that made Germany an almost indomitable enemy.
Terry C. Treadwell is a former research and project officer for the RAF Museum, and is the au-
thor of German Fighter Aces of World War One and Stepping Stones to the Stars.

The Hard Way
Surviving Shamshuipo POW Camp 1941–45
Major John Ebbage
Edited by Andrew Robertshaw
The diary of the inhabitant of a notorious POW camp reveals shocking breaches of the Geneva
convention while highlighting the incredible ingenuity and resourcefulness of Allied soldiers
Major Vic Ebbage was a Colonel with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, serving in Hong Kong in
1941, when his garrison was attacked by the Japanese Army. He was captured and taken prisoner
to the notorious Hong Kong death camp, Shamshuipo, where he was held from December 30, 1941
to August 1945. His story is an extraordinary one of survival against all the odds, as well as a story
of how a group of men worked together to improve conditions in the camp for their fellow pris-
oners. They were offered nothing by their captors but the constant command to “improvise,” which
they learned to do by recycling salvaged materials into everything from homemade nails, cooking
pots, and plates, to surgical instruments, beds, and nesting boxes. His diary demonstrates how in-
dividuals can work together in an almost unimaginable adversity to improve life for their fellow
people, and how imagination and innovation can flourish in even the worst conditions. This story
is a model of care, humanity, and inventiveness.
Andrew Robertshaw is a museum curator, military historian, author, and broadcaster. He has written five books about aspects
of military history, including Somme 1 July 1916 and is a subject matter expert for the British army. He has hosted several shows
on World War I for the BBC.

The Battle of Matapan 1941

The Trafalgar of the Mediterranean
Mark Simmons
A new assessment of one of the Royal Navy’s greatest victories
Including a new look at Axis strategy, this book explores the remarkable victories of Taranto and
Matapan as seen through the eyes of the men who manned the ships and flew the aircraft of the
Mediterranean Fleet. In March 1941, the Royal Navy scored one of the greatest one-sided vic-
tories against the Italian Fleet the Regia Marina at Matapan, bringing to an end six months of
remarkable success for the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean. When France fell and Italy declared
war on Britain, Admiral Dudley Pound had wanted to evacuate the Mediterranean altogether and
concentrate on home defense, but Churchill overruled him, making the Mediterranean the focus
of British land operations for four years, reliant on the Royal Navy.
Mark Simmons served in the Royal Marines and has written widely on naval/military and travel
subjects for publications. He is a correspondent for Warships International Fleet Review.

Battle of the Atlantic

Marc Milner
A major reinterpretation of the most important military campaign of World War II
“The most comprehensive short survey of the U-boat battles.” —Sir John Keegan, author,
The First World War
World War II was only a few hours old when the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest campaign of
World War II and the most complex submarine war in history, began with the sinking of the
unarmed passenger liner Athenia by the German submarine U30. Based on the mastery of the
latest research and written from a mid-Atlantic—rather than the traditional Anglocentric—per-
spective, Marc Milner focuses on the confrontation between opposing forces and the attacks on
Allied shipping that lay at the heart of the six-year struggle. Against the backdrop of the battle
for the Atlantic lifeline he charts the fascinating development of U-boats and the techniques used
by the Allies to suppress and destroy these stealth weapons.
Marc Milner is a history professor whose other books include North Atlantic Run and The
U-Boat Hunters. He lives in New Brunswick, Canada.

Darkest Before Dawn
U-482 and the Sinking of Empire Heritage 1944
John Peterson
The full story of one of the greatest Allied shipping losses of World War II
For the first time, this book describes how U-482 managed to slip undetected into the busy ship-
ping lanes of the North Channel and carry out the last great U-boat patrol of the war. In the au-
tumn of 1944 World War II was coming to an end, and the U-boats in the Atlantic had been beaten
back through a massive program of Allied shipbuilding combined with tactical, technological, and
intelligence improvements. The threat to Allied shipping had diminished but not disappeared, and
a lone U-boat on its first active patrol slipped into the North Channel—in just a few days five ships
lay broken on the seabed including the Empire Heritage, one of the largest Allied ships lost in the
entire war. Also lost was a rescue ship attacked while trying to rescue survivors from the Empire
Heritage; the Jacksonville, an American tanker sailing out of New York; and a RN corvette sent to
hunt the U-boat down. This is the story of the attack, the aftermath, and the men involved.
John Peterson has written many articles for Scottish Island Explorer, Shetland Life, and The
New Shetlander.
U-Boats Attack!
The Battle of the Atlantic Witnessed by the Wolf Packs
Jak P. Mallman Showell
Readers can view the Battle of the Atlantic through U-boat periscopes thanks to incredible
eyewitness accounts bringing to life the horror of this war below and above sea
Readers will taste the salt, smell the nauseating stench of the U-boats, and hear orders being whis-
pered quietly while diving back in time to the horrendous inhumanity of the Battle of the At-
lantic. The longest continuous military campaign of the Second World War, raging from 1939 to
1945, the Battle of the Atlantic saw the might of the Royal Navy pitted against the Kriegsma-
rine. The Germans’ secret weapon was their fleet of U-boats—they had the largest fleet of sub-
marines in the world, enabling them to play cat and mouse with the Allied forces to devastating
effect. They would hunt in “wolf-packs” and would prey on merchant shipping and naval ves-
sels. This startling book tells the story of this battle as viewed through the conning towers of
these U-boats. It is written as the action unfolded, using surviving logs.
Jak P. Mallmann Showell is a naval historian, a photographer, and the author of more than 40 books
on naval activity during World War II, including Hitler’s U-boat Bases and Wolfpacks at War.
An End of War
Fatal Final Days to VE Day 1945
Ken Tout
Soldier’s-eye-views of the final fanatical battles of World War II include the legendary battles
of the Bulge and Crossing the Rhine told through U.S., Canadian, and British troops
Using his own experiences and interviews with many veterans, Ken Tout explores how the last
gasps of the German Army actually saw some of the fiercest and most fanatical fighting of the
whole war. This last year of war is filled with stories from the tragedy of whole groups of men
being frozen to death in battle areas to the triumph of logistics, ingenuity, and bravery. Fighting
continued up to VE Day in May and some units were in action for days longer as confusion reigned
about the enemy surrender. Even after the fighting had finished, the war was not over for these
men who had to round up and guard German prisoners of war, watch over thousands of displaced
people, and play “cat and mouse” along the new frontier established between the Soviet army and
the Western allies. As Iraq and Afghanistan have recently made clear, war does not necessarily end
when a ceasefire is declared.
Ken Tout served as a tank gunner and commander after D-Day 1944 in Normandy and Holland,
he was injured and evacuated. He has worked on several global aid projects, and has served as a consultant to the UN on aging.
His other books include The Bloody Battle for Tilly and A Fine Night for Tanks.

The Other Schindlers
Why Some People Chose to Save Jews in the Holocaust
Agnes Grunwald-Spier
Foreword by Sir Martin Gilbert
The inspiring stories of courageous non-Jews who risked their own lives to save Jews from
the Holocaust
“Provides new insight into why these people were willing to risk so much to help the
most vulnerable. . . . From their heroic actions we can learn the full resonance of the
human spirit . . . an inspiring book that helps us piece together a portrait of the exam-
plars of moral courage during the Holocaust and their motivations.”
—Jewish Book World
Thanks to Thomas Keneally’s book Schindler’s Ark, and the film based on it, Schindler’s List,
people have become more aware of the fact that, in the midst of Hitler’s extermination of the
Jews, courage and humanity could still overcome evil. While six million Jews were murdered
by the Nazi regime, some were saved through the actions of non-Jews whose consciences would
not allow them to pass by on the other side, and many are honored by Israel’s official me-
morial to Jewish Holocaust victims, Yad Vashem, as “Righteous among the Nations” for their
actions. As a baby, Agnes Grunwald-Spier was herself saved from the horrors of Auschwitz
by an unknown official, and is now a trustee of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. She has
collected the stories of 30 individuals who rescued Jews, providing a new insight into why
these people were prepared to risk so much for their fellow men and women. With a fore-
word by one of the leading experts on the subject, this is an ultimately uplifting account of
how some good deeds really do shine in a weary world.
Agnes Grunwald-Spier was born in Budapest in July 1944. She and her mother were sent to the
ghetto there in November 1944, and were liberated in January 1945. A former civil servant,
she holds degrees in History & Politics and Holocaust Studies, and is a trustee of the Holocaust
Memorial Day Trust, a member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, a member of the Ar-
chitects’ Registration Board, and a Justice of the Peace. She lives in Sheffield and London. Sir

Fleeing from the Führer

A Postal History of Refugees from Nazism
William Kaczinski and Charmian Brinson
An extraordinary history of postcards and letters provides rare insight into how refugees
kept their culture and communities alive throughout the world
Written by a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, this unique history and collection of cor-
respondence shows the incredible nature of this worldwide emigration and the indomitable
spirit of these Jewish refugees. The Jewish flight from Nazi Germany was one of the largest
diasporas the world has ever seen, sparking an international refugee crisis that changed so-
ciety and continues to shape cultures and communities today. The only lifeline these refugees
had was short postcards and letters to let each other know they were still alive. Much of this
mail was sent from internment camps which were established worldwide to deal with the
overwhelming number of asylum seekers. Each postcard is reproduced in full color, making
this a fascinating resource for the general reader, as well as those interested in Jewish his-
tory or postal history.
William Kaczinski came to England with his family in 1939 as a refugee from Nazi Germany.
He was interned, along with his mother and brother, for 10 months in Rushen Camp on the
Isle of Man. He has amassed a unique and important collection of World War II postal his-
tory artifacts, has written widely for philatelic publications, and has worked closely with the
British Library in compiling the collection featured in this book. Charmian Brinson is a pro-
fessor of German Studies and a founding member of the Research Center for German and
Austrian Exile Studies.

Normandiefront
D-Day to Saint-Lô Through German Eyes
Vince Milano and Bruce Conner
Based on first-hand testimony, this is the story of how a single German division changed the course
of the invasion, and almost the war
In the cold morning of June 6, 1944, thousands of German soldiers were in position from Port
en Bessin eastwards past Colleville on the Normandy coast, aware that a massive invasion force
was heading straight for them, although according to Allied Intelligence, they shouldn’t have been
there. The presence of 352 Division meant that the number of defenders was literally double the
number expected—and on the best fortified of all the invasion beaches. This infantry division would
ensure the invaders would pay a massive price to take Omaha Beach. What makes this account
of the bloody struggle unique is that it is told from the German standpoint, using firsthand tes-
timony of German combatants that were painstakingly collected by the authors over many years.
Vince Milano is a former U.S. infantryman and the author of The German Army Order of Bat-
tle 1918 and many articles for military magazines such as Combat and Living History. He lives
in Epping, New Hampshire. Bruce Conner is a military history researcher who gives military
history displays and talks with Vince Milano across the U.S. He lives in Tewksbury, Massachusetts.

Operation Market Garden

The Legend of the Waal Crossing
Tim Lynch
A new interpretation of the wider military context of the doomed operation
Using first hand accounts, official records and previously unpublished documents, this history
examines the legend of the Waal Crossing and the truth behind it, revealing how a culture of elit-
ism mixed with national and personal rivalries led to arguably the greatest Allied defeat of the
war. On September 20, 1944, U.S. paratroopers launched a desperate, near suicidal river-cross-
ing in an effort to reach their airborne brethren trapped at Arnhem, only to see their efforts squan-
dered by British tank crews who, instead of racing ahead, sat down to drink tea. The story of the
Waal crossing—as told by American veterans of the operation—has become a part of the Arn-
hem legend, a legend of of American professionalism wasted by British incompetence.
Tim Lynch is a regular contributor to magazines such as Britain at War and Military Illustrated
and is the author of Battlefield Archaeology and Dunkirk 1940: Whereabouts Unknown.

The Wall
The People’s Story
Christopher Hilton
The story of the Berlin Wall, from the perspective of the people who lived in its shadow, including
a new chapter on what happened after the wall came down
“The most complete narrative . . . of the Wall’s demise.” —Sunday Telegraph

For almost three decades, the Cold War was focused on Berlin, where the two (nuclear-armed) sides
were kept apart by a 12-foot wall, which had appeared almost overnight in August 1961. For a
generation, until its fall in November 1989, it not only divided the city of Berlin, but also sym-
bolized the confrontation between capitalist West and socialist East. In this astonishing book, jour-
nalist Christopher Hilton collected the individual stories of those whose lives it affected, including
international politicians, American and British soldiers, East German border guards, and, most
importantly, the citizens of Berlin itself, West and East. Weaving their memories together into a
remarkable narrative, this is the extraordinarily vivid, occasionally harrowing, and often touching
story of a city divided, and of how it affected the lives of real people.
Christopher Hilton was a journalist and the author of more than 20 books, including After the
Berlin Wall, Hitler’s Olympics, and numerous titles on sports.

Battle Story: Battle of the Bulge 1944-45

Andrew Rawson
The story of one of the most decisive Allied victories of World War II
Clear and concise, this account of the dramatic days at the end of 1944 is supported
by a time line of events and orders of battle. In December 1944 the German military
made their final attempt to end World War II by throwing in all their reserves in a des-
perate effort to shatter the Allied lines. After breaking through the American-held sec-
tor in the Ardennes, two Panzer armies headed for the bridges over the River Meuse.
However, a combination of poor planning, bad weather, torturous terrain, and above
all, the determined defense of such key towns and villages as Bastogne and St. Vith, de-
layed the advance. The Allies were able to hold the northern and southern shoulders of
the attack, hemming the Germans in. The Bulge had been created, and as the fortunes
of battle were reversed, the Allies struck back.
Andrew Rawson has written numerous military history books, including Battleground
Europe: Walcheren, Bridge at Remagan, and The Vietnam War Handbook.

Battle Story: Isandlwana 1879

Edmund Yorke
The first major encounter between the British Army and Zulu Kingdom—one of
Britain’s greatest military disasters
Putting the reader at the forefront of the action, this is the story of January 22, 1879,
when a 20,000-strong Zulu army attacked 1,700 British and colonial forces—spears and
shields clashing with the latest military technology. Despite being poorly equipped, the
numerically superior Zulu force crushed the British troops, killing 1,300 men, while only
losing 1,000 of their own warriors. It was a humiliating defeat for the British Army, who
had been poorly trained and had underestimated their enemy. The defeat ensured that
the British had a renewed respect for their opponents and changed their tactics from a
straight, linear formation to an entrenched system or close order formations. The defeat
caused consternation throughout the British Empire, who had assumed that the Zulu
were no match for the British Army—thus the army was greatly reinforced and went on
to victory at Rorke’s Drift.
Edmund Yorke is the author of Rorke’s Drift 1879 and Zulu!: The Battle for Rorke’s
Drift, and he was the historical consultant for the History Channel/Discovery Channel
television documentary on Rorke’s Drift.

Early Aviation Disasters
The World’s Major Airliner Crashes before 1950
David Gero
A prequel to the successful Aviation Disasters, covering crashes prior to 1950
Using the same format as its predecessor, this book examines major aviation catastrophes
that occurred in the early days of commercial flight, prior to 1950. Long before the days
of wide-bodied jets and supersonic travel, two, three, and four-engine airplanes; flying boats;
and airships made their way over land and sea, connecting cities, countries, and continents
in what was a then revolutionary mode of transport. Some of these flights ended in tragedy,
and these catastrophes are thoroughly reviewed in this illustrated book. The book recounts
the Hindenburg disaster in 1937, the disastrous mid-air collision between an airliner and
a fighter aircraft over Washington, DC in 1949, and the loss of the British Star Tiger and
Star Ariel transports, less than one year apart. Many other less well-known and even for-
gotten disasters are also covered in this fascinating new volume.
David Gero has more than 30 years experience as a writer and magazine editor and has
worked in television production for more than 25 years. He appeared as a consultant in a
Discovery Channel program on aviation accidents and is the author of Aviation Disasters.

Special Forces
The Ultimate Guide to Survival
Robert Stirling
When you have been taken hostage or prisoner of war; when you have crawled out of a
downed helicopter behind enemy lines and the enemy is coming at you; or when your team
has been killed in a firefight in bandit country—this is the survival guide you want to
have read
If anything is put over your mouth, it is likely to be chloroform or a similar drug to put you
out. You have until you need to breathe to do something about this. . . . If someone grabs
you from behind, slouch down, then head-butt with the back of your head and stamp on their
instep. Turn and strike with your fist to the jaw, knife to the belly or draw and fire.
This is not a book about eating bugs and mushrooms. There are plenty of those around if
you want to become a boy scout. If you are, or want to be, a soldier—particularly a Special
Forces soldier—then this is the book you need to survive. Soldiers, undercover operatives,
security services, and even those backpacking or exporting goods into some parts of the world
could find themselves in serious trouble. Here, you will learn how to avoid being killed or
captured when things go wrong; escape if you are caught; steal food; steal transportation;
find your way home; and fight to kill in the dirtiest ways you can imagine.
Robert Stirling joined the British Army as a Junior Leader Paratrooper and later joined the
Rhodesian Army where he led his own unit of 200 men against Robert Mugabe. After the
fall of Rhodesia, Robert joined the South African Special Forces as an instructor.
