This England's Annual 2015

41.

This England’s Annual 2015 As you travel through England, you can never be quite sure what pleasant surprise will greet you around the next bend in the road. It might be a view of beautiful English countryside, a stretch of coastline with blue sea beyond, a castle, a stately home, a village or a curiosity with a fascinating story to tell.

The same is true as you turn the pages of the new This England Annual for 2015. All the articles, published here for the first time and illustrated with stunning photographs, have been carefully selected so that there will be something to interest everyone.

(100 pages, softback)

Some of the contents you can look forward to: In Search of Sherlock Holmes: The great Victorian detective has been portrayed many times, but in recent years Jeremy Brett has made the role his own.

The actor describes his own relationship with the famous resident of 221B Baker Street.

From BottleWasher to Hotel Manager: The

entertaining firsthand account of life in a top London hotel during the 1960s and ’70s, and just what it took – including ironing ten-shilling notes! — to rise through the ranks.

With poems and quotations about England, a quiz, a comprehensive guide to the 40 traditional counties and a month-by-month diary of English customs and events, This England’s Annual 2015 has something for everyone, and would make the perfect gift. Code: TEA15

Recipes & Rhymes

New

This is a unique and rather wonderful cookery book in which every recipe is based on a traditional nursery rhyme or a well-loved poem. Children will love making delicious and inventive new dishes such as Simple Simon Pies, Jolly Ginger Buns and Hot Dragon Toasts. This is real cookery that any child can manage by themselves or with the occasional helping hand from a parent or grown-up. All the rhymes are beautifully and wittily illustrated by the celebrated illustrator Margaret Gordon, best known for her drawings of The Wombles, and all the recipes have been tried and tested by a team of enthusiastic young chefs.

My Family and Other Scousers

New

This evocative memoir recalls the long, heady days of Liverpool in the summer of 1969, as seen through the eyes of eleven-year-old Deejay.

Infused with a distinctive Scouse sense of humour, this book tells the story of how Deejay filled his summer holiday with his mischievous gang of young friends and working at Wellington Dairy, the familyowned, horse-drawn milk business located in the Liverpool suburb of Garston. Amusing and entertaining, surprising and sometimes moving, Deejay’s account vividly captures one boy’s growing appreciation of the family history.

Swinging Britain: Fashion in the 1960s

New

As Britain emerged from the post-war years of austerity, like a black and white film changing to colour the country was swept by a tidal wave of change. The most visible sign of this social revolution was the fashion scene, with figures such as Mary Quant, John Stephen, Cathy McGowan, David Bailey, Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton influencing every aspect of life and culture. This lively account of the exciting time, illustrated with colour photographs of pop stars (The Kinks, The Who etc.), fashion icons and boutiques such as Lord John and I Was Lord Kitchener’s Valet, captures a unique period in our country’s history.

Jeremy Paxman brings his renowned wit, humour and gift for observation to tell the story of the First World War through the eyes of the British people. As well as looking at what life was like for those serving at the front, he paints a vivid picture of the experiences of factory workers, nurses, housewives, children and people from many different walks of life, and illustrates the profound changes the war had on society and how the view from the 21st century can sometimes be distorted and misleading.

Bradshaw’s Handbook

New

Collector’s item, landmark in the history of the tour guide, snapshot of Britain in the 1860s — Bradshaw’s Handbook deserves a place on the bookshelf of any traveller, railway enthusiast, historian or anglophile.

Produced as the British railway network was reaching its zenith, it was the first national tourist guide specifically organized around railway journeys. This is a facsimile of the actual book — often referred to as ‘Bradshaw’s Guide’ — that inspired the ‘Great British Railway Journeys’ television series. It is an exact copy with a removable bellyband. (512pp, hardback) Code: LBRAD Just £11 to UK overseas £14. US $28; Can $30; Aus $31; NZ $36.

A Century of Royalty

New

Over the last century Britain has witnessed a royal family saga compelling, tumultuous and heartwarming. The constitution has been thrown into crisis by an abdication, royal divorces have become commonplace, coronations and jubilees have brought the nation together — and though Princess Diana’s death precipitated perhaps the most serious turn in public opinion yet, the Windsors’ place in our hearts was confirmed beyond any doubt by Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee and the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s son, Prince George. With full-page illustrations from the Daily Mirror’s archives and illuminating explanatory text, this book is a unique look at one hundred years of royalty in Britain.

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 Just £25 to UK

On the Right Road: Another gem in the transport crown, alternating orchestral and vocal tunes. You are sure to find something new and exciting, as well as music which will jog your memory. Many of the tracks have never previously been released on CD. A unique compilation. Code: COTR David Hughes: Both a popular and classical tenor, he was

known as “Mr. Heart Throb” but his glittering career was cut dreadfully short by a heart attack, after standing in at the last minute for a performance of Madame Butterfly at the London Coliseum. Happily, his recorded legacy lives on. Code: C130

Sam Browne: The most prodigious singer of the dance band era, he was in constant demand and recorded with more ensembles than anyone else. Remarkably, while on a train, he was hit in the neck by three bullets fired randomly from the trackside but survived to continue singing for many years afterwards! Amazing! Code: C111 Val Doonican: When Val Doonican’s generation dies out

the name will become extinct in the Emerald Isle, so all the more reason to buy a CD to remember him by. His rocking chair act came about purely by chance and now you can enjoy his most famous songs from the comfort of your own armchair. All his favourites are here. Code: C122

Edmundo Ros: To celebrate his centenary in December

2010 this tribute CD includes all his best known numbers.

Edmundo invented his own British version of Latin music.

Whether it was the rumba, samba, mambo, cha-cha-cha, pasa doble or any other dance, they were all polished by Edmundo Ros. Code: C128

Nostalgic CDs

All exclusive to

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 oneman walking comic show.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves and you will be delighted with this musical tribute. Code: C155

New

Derek Barsham: Britain’s most famous wartime boy

soprano whose voice was heard regularly at peak time on the radio just before the 6 o’clock news, as a coded message to the troops before D-Day and then preceding Churchill’s victory speech. He even sings accompanying himself as boy soprano and adult baritone. A real collector’s item. Code: C153

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

Famous Songs of the First World War: The Great War was a prolific time for new songs and with the benefit of modern recording techniques, we can now enjoy better sound quality. Among the splendid singers are Peter Dawson, John McCormack, Billy Murray, Violet Loraine, George Robey and Harry Lauder — the last two receiving knighthoods for their wartime charity work. Code: C151 Bix Beiderbecke: Nobody has ever emulated the bell-like tone of self-taught cornet player Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke whose unique sound is as fresh today as it was back in the Twenties. Sadly, he died young at the age of only 28 but his brilliant reputation remains untarnished. Never heard him? Start now — you won't regret it! Code: C149
