Green and Pleasant Land

This book wisely avoids mystical offerings which only mean something to the author. Instead, it concentrates on poems by well-known figures including Keats, Edward Thomas, Shakespeare, W.H. Davies, Tennyson, Housman and many more. Divided into the four seasons, this is a delightful anthology which will appeal to all who love our “green and pleasant land”.

Extraordinary Villages

We have all heard of Lindisfarne in Northumberland and Westward Ho! in Devon but what about Sunk Island in Yorkshire or Snailbeach in Shropshire? Each of the 50 fascinating chapters is accompanied by wonderful photography illustrating a myriad of varied and attractive landscapes.

The Kings and Queens of England

For anyone remotely interested in royal affairs, discovering who did what, where, when and how, then this book has all the answers. Don’t be put off by the number of pages because it is a highly engaging, concise and readable account of all our monarchs. Starting with Athelstan in 925AD, it covers every king and queen in 58 relatively short chapters. A chapter a night will therefore take you just two months to travel more than 1,000 years. A real bargain! (512pp, paperback) Code: LKQE WAS £14.99 — NOW just £10.99 to UK, overseas £15.99. US $32; Can $34; Aus $36; NZ $41.

The First World War in 100 Objects

Objects allow us to reach out and touch the past and they play a living role in history today. They bear witness to the stories of men whose only morning comfort in the trenches was the rum ration, children who grew up with only one photograph of the father they would never get to know, women who would sacrifice their girlhood in hospitals just yards from the front line, pinning a brooch on to remind themselves of a past life. New weapons that transformed the battlefield, planes that had barely learnt to be flown, German submarines that stalked shipping across the seas.

Through these incredible artefacts, Peter Doyle shows the First World War in a whole new light. (352pp, hardback) Code: LWW1H WAS £25 — NOW just £15 to UK, overseas £20. US $40; Can $42; Aus $44; NZ $51.

Virginia Woolf & Vanessa Bell: A Childhood in St. Ives

Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell are perhaps the bestknown female icons of English art in the early twentieth century.

Marion Whybrow provides a valuable insight into the family life of the Stephen sisters, and into St Ives itself, a fishing port and artists’ colony on ‘the toe-nail of England.’ The book opens with a portrait of St Ives as it was at the time of the Stephen family’s regular visits, and also of its indigenous life and that of the artistic community. The author’s vivid depiction of the sisters is enhanced by illustrations that illuminate them and their world of St Ives. (128pp, hardback) Code: LCHIV

Featuring many rare photographs and unpublished interviews with the ‘pirates’ who were there, Ray Clark, once a Radio Caroline disc jockey himself, tells the captivating story of the boat that rocked!

Real Railway Tales

New

Running a railway is a complex business, constantly throwing up drama, misadventure and the unexpected. Geoff Body and Bill Parker have collated a rich selection of railwaymen’s memories and anecdotes to create an enjoyable book of escapades and mishaps, illustrating the daily obstacles faced on the railways, from handling the new Eurostar to train catering, nights on the Tay Bridge to rail ‘traffic cops’, and from mystery derailments to track subsidence.

However interesting the infrastructure of the large and varied railway business may be, the real heart of this great industry lies in its people and the complex jobs they occupy. (174pp, paperback) Code: LRRT

More Tales from Lark Rise

Most people will be acquainted with Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson, but readers who enjoyed that classic account of life in an Oxfordshire village during the 1880s might not be aware that Flora’s younger sister, Betty Timms, was also a talented writer. In this equally evocative book, Betty describes characters and events in Juniper Hill and Cottisford in the next decade, with charming descriptions of schooldays, cottage life and village celebrations, as well as vivid portraits of the characters she encountered while growing up.

'Blinker' Hall Spymaster

Admiral Sir Reginald 'Blinker' Hall, the Director of Naval Intelligence for most of the First World War, was one of the outstanding if largely unrecognized naval leaders of the conflict. His dynamic leadership, talent for lateral thinking and force of personality were essential in defeating the U-boats. Above all, he was endowed with the guile and ruthlessness which kept him one step ahead of a formidable and determined enemy and their widespread espionage and subversion operations. In "'Blinker' Hall: Spymaster", David Ramsay examines this fascinating man and his invaluable legacy. (320pp, paperback) Code: LBHS WAS £18.99 — NOW just £9.99 to UK, overseas £13.99. US $28; Can $30; Aus $31; NZ $36.

Old Codger's Cookbook

The author, David Curwen, in his early 80s had found himself having to learn to cook or starve, so he set about the task with great success.

Having learnt these skills, he decided to write this book, mainly aimed at others who might find themselves in a similar situation. But David wrote as he spoke, so whilst this book contains numerous practical recipes for a whole variety of items, he diverts on to a wide range of topics. In particular this is a paean in praise of living in an English village in the heart of the countryside, as well as a very useful book of 15 full recipes, plus a chapter on vegetables.

When Britain Went to War: The Real Story of Life on the Home Front

When Britain went to war everyone in the country was involved, whether they were in the military or civilians whose jobs were vital to the war effort.

We all think we know what happened in Britain during that time. There was the blackout, the Blitz, the shortages and the rationing. But there was also football, fashion, entertainment, humour and even Christmas! This is the real, everyday story of British men, women and children who fought a daily battle to keep the home fires burning. It’s illustrated with many previously unseen photographs.

For many years sports themes have been heard on cinema newsreels and also occasionally on radio and television. However, they were rarely available on commercial release and if you missed one then you would have to wait a long time before you heard it again. Fret no longer, though, because here are 27 of the best including Sports Personality of the Year; Sportsview; Sports Special; Grandstand; Today’s Sport; World of Sport; Wimbledon; Sports Report; Match of the Day and many more which will immediately evoke memories of “going to the pictures”.

English Songs Vol. 1: Here are

26 gems of English song, ranging from the classic recording of the Manchester Children’s Choir performing Purcell’s Nymphs and Shepherds right through the Coronation Year with all stations in between. Remember the wartime newsreader, Alvar Lidell? Well, he could sing too! Just listen! Code: C121

English Songs Vol. 2: If you enjoyed

Volume 1 then you are sure to enjoy Volume 2 which includes The Dance Duet from Hansel and Gretel by the Manchester Children’s Choir. Other famous tracks include Come to the Fair; My Grandfather’s Clock; Teddy Bears’ Picnic; Ma Belle Marguerite; White Cliffs of Dover; Three Little Maids from School, and more than 20 others, all by famous names.

Stanley Holloway Songs: Everyone knows his monologues but

he also had a brilliant baritone voice. Don’t just take our word for it, though, listen to this terrific CD of a person who Arthur Askey described as “The nicest man I ever knew. He never had a wrong word to say about anyone. He was a great actor, a super mimic and a one-man walking comic show.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves and you will be delighted with this musical tribute. Code: C155

The Temperance Seven: This group of anarchistic young

musicians preceded Monty Python and shot to fame with their Twenties style dress, and versions of You’re Driving Me Crazy and Pasadena. This new CD includes all their best recordings and is a real foot tapper. Code: C154 Just £9.95 each to UK, overseas £12. US $24; Can $26; Aus $27; NZ $31.

Decades of Steam (5 DVD Box)

This handsome five-disc collection is a sumptuous journey through the last decades of the steam age. From the end of the First World War and the dawn of the 'Big Four,' to the last steam workings on British metals in the late Sixties this splendid five-hour trip uses only original archive footage. From the glory days of the highly-polished GWR, LNER, LMS and Southern to the dusty, rusty evening star of British Railways, take a nostalgic trip back in time. Allin-all there is something here for every steam fan and it is also a treasure trove of information for modellers in all scales, showing just what Britain's railways looked like over fifty years.

She-Wolves: England’s Early Queens (3 DVD set)

In the medieval and Tudor world there was no question in people's minds about the order of God's creation — men ruled and women didn't. A king was a warrior who literally fought to win power then battled to keep it. Yet despite everything that stood in their way, a handful of extraordinary women did attempt to rule medieval and Tudor England. On this DVD, historian Dr Helen Castor explores seven queens who challenged male power, the fierce reactions they provoked and whether the term 'she wolves' was deserved.

Your journey into Bristol’s proud and distinguished history, illustrated by previously unseen colour paintings and other rare archive material, begins at the River Frome in Stapleton and quickly heads into the very heart of the city.

Branch Lines of Somerset

New Code: DBLOS

Most of Somerset’s branch lines were closed during or before Beeching’s cuts of the 1960s, and these are examined in depth on our journey, from the 792-yard branch at Dunball Wharf near Bridgwater to the industrial railways of North Somerset.

Happily, the county is well blessed with some fine preserved lines: the beautiful East Somerset Railway at Cranmore; the West Somerset Railway, England’s longest standard-gauge heritage railway and many more. Packed with wonderful images, stunning modern film, archive footage excerpts and fascinating interviews, this DVD is essential viewing for railway enthusiasts. (101 minutes, PAL format only)
