Omnibus containing 3 full-length murder mysteries,each featuring the popular fictional detective,Inspector Morse and his faithful sidekick,Sergeant Lewis. Since the publication of Colin Dexter's first novel - 'Last Bus to Woostock.' - in 1975 Chief Inspector morse and Sergeant Lewis have been aclaimed as crime fiction's most popular parnership.Now 'Last Bus to Woodstock' introduces 'The Third Inspector Morse Omnibus', which also includes the Gold Dagger winner,'The Wench is Dead' and 'The Jewel That Was Ours': a brain-teasing delight from first page to last. In 'Last Bus to Woodstock' the brutal murder of a young girl makes headline news in the Oxford Mail.But as Morse and Lewis conduct their investigation in the full glare of the media spotlight Morse watches his obvious leads fade into darkness - and suddenly realizes that only passion can hold the key to Sylvia Kaye's violent death. 'The Wench is Dead' opens dramatically when Inspector Morse is rushed semi conscious to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital with a perforated ulcer.As he begins his recovery Morse comes across an account of a murder committed over a hundred years before - and becomes convinced that the two men hanged for killing Joanna Franks had to be innocent.But still confined to his hospital bed Morse must depend on Sergeant Lewis to prove it. . . The sudden death of an elderly AmeRican tourist in 'The Jewel That Was Ours' marks the beginning of an especially frustrating and complex case for Inspector Morse.For not even Sergeant Lewis believes his superior's theories about what exactly happened to Laura Stratton in Room 310 at the Randolph Hotel.Until both Morse and Lewis are summoned to the banks of the River Cherwell to view a naked and battered corpse. . .

'Why Not Catch-21?' is an expansion of Gary Dexter's long-running Sunday Telegraph column 'Title Deed'.The book focuses on the great woks of world literature,but from a rather unusual angle: it considers only their titles. Under the titular microscope we can see some odd creatures.Plato's 'Republic',it turns out,has nothing to do with republicanism; 'The Swiss Family Robinson' is not about a family called Robinson; and 'A Study in Scarlet' is in fact an English -French pun.In a sweep from 380 BC to the present day (Then 2007),Dexter presents fifty bite-sized pieces of literary history,with many fascinating details of each works genesis and composition.Do you know:What was Wordsworh's 'Prelude' a prelude to? Why 'A Clockwork Orange' and not 'A Robotic Banana'? Who was the original JEEVES? If not you're in for an enlightening read. And you might even learn the answer to the title of the book: 'Why Not Catch-21'? Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!

The extraordinary phenomenon of 'sensation' characterized the Victorian age.The 19thC saw an explosion in printed media,as newspapers became cheap, nationally distributed and easily accessible to all classes. Drawing on a wealth of primary material, Michael Diamond explores the stories that impacted on Victorian society through the eyes of the contemporary media.In revealing the pervasiveness of sensation,Diamond sheds light on the Victorian appetite for gruesome and explicit reportage on murders and sex scandals, from sensational characters such as the serial poisoner William Palmer to notorious cases such as the Cleveland Street affair,which implicated prominent politicians and royalty.At the same time celebrated figures from Charles Dickens to Jumbo the Elephant are viewed in the context of the music halls and popular press that both documented and provoked contemporary reaction. The reporting of sensations in a manner designed o attract the widest possible audience and maximise sales dramatically shaped the relationship between the media and the public. Michael Diamond's passionate analysis of the period,from political sleaze and scandal to West End hits and the 'feel-good' factor,demonstrates how the reporting methods of today's popular media have their origins in the Victorian press. By turns amusing,poignant and tragic,'Victorian Sensation' shows that the spectacular,the shocking and the scandalous were as integral a part of society in the 19thC as they are today. A lifelong interest in Victoriana,in particular literature,the press and the music hall,the author has assembled an extensive collection of Victorian media, and has written a number of articles on the subject.This is his first book.

'TRUST' by Hernan Diaz is a sweeping, unpredictable novel about power, wealth and truth, set against the backdrop of turbulent 1920s New York. Can one person change the course of history? A Wall Street tycoon takes a young woman as his wife. Together they rise to the top in an age of excess and speculation. But now a novelist is threatening to reveal the secrets behind their marriage, and this wealthy man's story - of greed, love and betrayal - is about to slip from his grasp. Composed of four competing versions of this deliciously deceptive tale,'TRUST' brings us on a quest for truth while confronting the lies that often live buried in the human heart.

When the corpse of the shady industrialist who owns the local football team is found both shot and stabbed with a Parmesan knife,Italian police inspector Aurelio Zen is called to Bologna to oversee the investigation. Recovering slowly from surgery,and fleeing an equally painful crisis in his personal life,Zen is only too happy to take on what at first appears to be a routine and relatively undemanding assignment. But soon a world-famous university professor is shot with the same gun, immediately after publicly humiliating Italy's leading celebrity television chef, and the case - intertwined with the fates of an earnest student of semiotics and a mysterious young immigrant who claims to be from Ruritania - spins out of control,and Zen is in no condition to rise to the challenge.There's also a wild card in the pack - Tony Speranza, Bologna's most flamboyant private detective. 'Back to Bologna' is dazzingly plotted,features a cast of vivid and idiosyncratic characters,and along the way delivers both comic and serious insights into the realities of today's Italy.

Jack Isidore was a tyre regroover by trade,but his true vocation lay in collecting items of amazing information (did you know that the Sargasso Sea actually exists? that the Japanese are not really human beings?) and observing the behaviour of those around him from a detached, 'scientific' viewpoint. His sister's husband had described Jack as a crap artist,but when he found himself homeless, Fay let him move into their luxury ranch house in Marin County,California.There Jack was able to play with the children - and bring his analytical turn of mind to bear on Fay's strange marriage to foul-mouthed factory owner Charley Hume . . .

It seemed like any other season on Everest.After six weeks of acclimatisation,ten expeditions were high on the mountain preparing for their summit push.They set out in perfect conditions on 10 May 1996.But twenty-four hours later, eight climbers were dead and a further three were to die later,victims of one of the most devastating storms ever to hit Everest.It was the worst twenty-four hours in the history of the peak. On the North Face of the mountain,a British expedition found itself in the thick of the drama.Against all the odds, film-maker Matt Dickinson and professional climber Alan Hinkes managed to battle through hurricane-force winds to reach the summit. Based on the first-hand experience of having lived through the killer storm,this book tackles issues at the very heart of mountaineering.How could three Japanese climbers leave Indians also attempting the peak to die? What made an Austrian climber give up his life in the quest to climb Everest without oxygen? Finally,there is the summit success of the two British climbers,in which Matt Dickinson became the first Briton to film on the summit of Everest and return alive.'The death Zone' is an extraordinay story of human triumph, folly and disaster. Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!

Celebrated English author Beverley Nichols is one of the best loved and most quoted gardening writers of the twentieth century.His entertaining anecdotes,witty asides,and strongly held opinions on just about everything range from poignant to high-spirited,and are often wickedly funny. These carefully selected passages offer a tantalizing taste of Nichol's humour,passion,and poetry, and are tailormade for reading out loud as they crescendo theatrically towards their punchline.Designed for casual browsing and easy reference, this book contains the very best of Nichol's thoughts on subjects such as awkward neighbours,favourite plants,and garden visiting. Gardeners,plant-lovers,raconteurs, and many others will find quotes contained here perfect for speaking occasions of all kinds; endlessly useful for inscribing onto gifts, birthday cards,and other greetings; and irresistible for dropping into conversation with fellow gardeners. Anyone moved to "listen to the flowers" will discover in Nichols a kindred spirit and perhaps even find themselves - as Nichols suggests - "bursting into a sort of lunatic laughter at the sheer prettiness of things." Having collected all sixty books that Nichols wrote,visited the main Nichols home and garden sites,and contributed forewords and indexes to many Nichols reprints,he can safely be considered a world-class Nichols expert.He stokes enthusiasm for Nichols by regularly delivering a theatrical lecture based on Nichol's life and works to garden clubs and horticultural organisations throughout the United States.

From singing to the postman when she was less than two years old to her annual sell-out tours today (then 2009),Barbara Dickson has been captivating her fans for the best part of sixty years.In her autobiography she describes the joys of growing up in Fife in the fifties,of moving to Edinburgh at seventeen to find her place in the world and the struggles of trying to make a living on the Scottish folk scene. Despite becoming Scotland's bestselling solo artist in the seventies and eighties and having huge hits such as 'Answer Me', 'I Know Him So Well' and 'Caravan Song', Barbara was not content to have just a successful singing career.he turned to another: acting. A regular on prime-time television, Barbara also took to musicals,making Blood Brothers and Spend Spend her own.Her hugely successful time on stage earned her many acting accolades but her pursuit of perfection led to complete exhaustion from which she fought hard to recover. Barbara's talent and quiet confidence have won many people over; here she talks about those she encountered along the way such as Elaine Paige,Willy Russell and Billy Connolly.The result is a warm, fascinating story that encompasses the best of British music,stage and television and above all tells the story of an ordinary woman with an extraordinary voice.

In 1965 Graham Greene made what he described as 'a trip down the Dominican and Haitian border . . . in the company of two exiles from Haiti'. Bernard Diederich was one of those two exiles, and 'Seeds of Fiction' includes a first-hand account of that trip,one that inspired one of Greene's most significant works,'The Comedians'. Diederich,a seasoned correspondent for the British and North American press,had lived in Haiti for many years.In 1963 he had been thrown out by Papa Doc Duvalier,and,in exile in the neighbouring Dominican Republic,soon became a champion of the cause of the Haitian opposition. Diederich and Greene had become friends in the mid-1950's when the celebrated author visited Haiti.When Greene met Diederich in Santo Domingo in 1965 he was sixty-one and depressed and plagued by religious doubt.Sensing that the volatile political situation in Haiti was something Greene could write about and so help to expose the Duvalier regime in all its brutality,Diederich suggested they tour the border region between the two countries,and together with an exiled Haitian priest,Fr Jean-Claude Bajeux - whose family had recently been 'disappeared' - they set off. Along the way they met a number of characters later fictionalized in Greene's most politically charged novel.'The Comedians',and 'Seeds of Fiction' illuminates in detail this pivotal episode in Greene's career and provides a fascinating glimpse into the writer's life from a very personal perspective. Diederich arranged for Greene to visit Panama and to meet its leader Omar Torrijos,and a friendship quickly developed between the two men,with Greene making a number of trips to visit Torrijos and to get to know the region. This formed the background to 'Getting To Know the General' (see my book ID rja1021),Greene's seminal work on the situation in Central America at that time.These journeys and Greene's relationship with Torrijos are also explored in intimate detail in this book - everything from where to get the best rum punches to Greene's views on US policies in the region. With extensive new material and exclusive, never-before-seen photographs of the author (Greene) on his travels,'Seeds of Fiction' tells the story of how a series of extraordinary and often hair-raising journeys gave one of the greatest novelits of the 20thC new inspiration in his writing.

It all started on a rainswept afternoon in December.London solicitor Peter Jackson and his office junior,Winston Waites, stared through the steamed-up windows at the rush-hour bustle,wishing the summer months were still with them.Jackson lamented for the days he sweated behind the stumps during Little Dow's one-day campaigns.Winston was fond of cricket too,turning out for Creek whenever the opposite sex and hangovers allowed.That cold pre-Christmas night a challenge was made,the wicket-keeper's gloves were thrown down and the following June,Winston navigated his side from the decaying streets of East London through the twisty lanes of Buckinghamshire where nestled Little Dow.The air filled with cockney rhyming slang and pleasurable prittle-prattlings as the two sides mingled before the game.But enough of the old 'rabbit' me old china,your presence is required at Lord Smythe's meadow. . . Richard Digance was born in East London on the same day and in the same hospital as John Lever,the Essex and England bowler,although he cannot recall any cricketing conversations with the left-hander that day; in fact it took many years for Digance to realise that his nursery mate was left-handed.The two have still not been introduced,mainly because Digance is reluctant to meet anybody who surpasses his own skills.Owing to this and the quiet life he leads in Saffron Walden, and even though he is an accomplished broadcaster on Capitol Radio (then 1983),a fine musician and the author of four books,he has not met W.G. Grace (a cricketing legend),Chas and Dave (exponents of obscure cockney rhyme),nor top writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.His favourite colour is green and he hopes to be a model when he grows up.

An uncommon author SIGNED item. Winston Churchill famously described Russia as 'a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma'. Even today it remains a country little understood by the West.But as a resurgent world power,with an energy-rich economy,we ignore Russia at our peril. In this timely (then 2008) and revealing portrait,distinguished author and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby crosses eight time zones and covers 10,000 miles, from Murmansk in the Arctic Circle to the Asian city of Vladivostok,in an attempt to get beneath the skin of modern Russia. ravelling by road,rail and boat,his epic journey takes him from the neo-classical splendour of St Petersburg to remote and inaccessible parts of Siberia.At the heart of this magisterial account are Jonathan's encounters with a diverse range of ordinary Russians - from urban intellectuals and the new class of entrepreneurs,to impoverished peasants and Russia's ethnic minorities struggling to cling to their distinctive identities. Jonathan was the only British television journalist to interview President Gorbachev during the Cold War,and,returning to Russia for the first time since those days,he discovers a land transformed.But despite economic progress, he finds aspects of Russian society deeply troubling,and takes an unflinchingly critical look at the way Russia has been run during the Putin years. For Jonathan,crossing the immense Russian landmass became as much an interior journey as an exterior one,and the book contains painfully honest passages as he struggles to meet the challenges of an arduous film trip against the backdrop of great turbulence in his personal life. Filled with a dazzling array of historical and literary references,'Russia - A Journey to the Heart of a Land and its People.' is a riveting and illuminating account of modern Russia.
