Imprint: Pulborough, West Sussex, SMH, 1991 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. The author begins her story in Rome, where her happy, simple life, studying and teaching the violin, was interrupted when World War II broke out. She did not wish to return to England but as a British subject she would be interned in Italy. The nuns at her convent advised her to go to Switzerland or Spain, and she opted for Spain, where the main action in her true but almost unbelievable story takes place, just after the Civil War. Here her simple lifestyle, studying and teaching in a convent's cloistered conditions was suddenly to change as she became caught up in a Resistance operation dedicated to rescuing prisoners of war who had escaped over the Pyrenees after the fall of Free France. While engaged in this dangerous work she was arrested, imprisoned, and charged with high espionage. **** NOT EX LIB **** D4B. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: Swindon, Bible Society, 1990 Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket which has a little creasing to lower edges. A very large format volume of 160 pages. Full-colour photographs by Sonia Halliday and Laura Lushington of some of the most spectacular and historic stained glass windows of Europe, selected from France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, England and Wales. Descriptive text by Laura Lushington of the windows and their iconography, together with related passages from the Bible. Stained glass did not exist before Christian times; the art of stained glass is essentially a Christian art. In Christian churches the windows became a means not only of illuminating a building, but also of communicating visually Bible stories and Christian truth. The great Gothic cathedrals of medieval Western Europe offered vast potential to the stained-glass craftsmen. As the master masons extended their artistic skills and technical knowledge, their increasingly complex systems of buttressing and vaulting allowed for progressively larger areas of stained glass, with the resulting magical effects of ever-changing light and colour. In their quest to depict Bible stories and characters graphically and colourfully, the craftsmen transcended their art to produce works which contribute to the overall mystery and grandeur of the medieval cathedral.

Imprint: London, W.H. Allen, 1965 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from age toning to endpapers) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First British edition. 192 pages. A professional writer of dirty books includes in one of his epics an imaginary character called Bibbsy Dibbs. There exists, unbelievably, a real Barbara (Bibbsy) Dibbs, who fits the description of her fictional namesake.. The girl's father, a retired naval commander, institutes proceedings for libel. The book is in the form of a series of lunatic letters, the most amusing being between the writer and his publisher. The commander might well be one of Henry Cecil's vexatious litigants; and the pornographer reminds one irresistibly of Groucho Marx at his most insulting. This is not a dirty book - but an excruciatingly funny one. 300. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Near Fine Stock number: 009853.

Imprint: London, Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1981 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. a near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a little age toning to page edges) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. A large format volume of 245 photographs and illustrations. The authors sought not to present a history of the theatre and its productions, an enterprise which would require a series of substantial volumes, but an evocation of its past and present. They have chosen to use, for the most part, visual images rather than the written word, partly because they are more immediate, but partly because they wished to portray the theatre by means of a family album. The pages show some of the great artists who have appeared there, the landmarks of its history, and to indicate something of the role it has come to assume both in the culture of the nation and internationally.

Imprint: Oxford, Butterworth Heinemann, 1995 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. 'It is so very difficult to predict the future. It is only pointless...what is always far more important are fundamental changes that happened though no one predicted them or could possibly have predicted them.' It is these unpredictable and irreversible changes from the past, and their effect on the role of the executive which Peter Drucker examines. The management of change is a subject which has been, undoubtedly, the principal preoccupation of management thinkers in the 1990's. Peter Drucker, the guru's guru, brings together a group of his own original essays and interviews on this vitally important topic, and as ever, provides invaluable food for thought. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** NOT BOOK CLUB **** 12.

Forty four years later her debut novel 'Kate Hannigan' was accepted by the first publisher to whom it was submitted. It established her as a powerful creator of character and a storyteller of rare talent. Piers Dudgeon was granted many hours of exclusive interviews over a 15 year period until Catherine's death. Now, in the company of her family and others who declined to be interviewed during her lifetime, he sheds new light on the tortured drama of her personal life and final days, and on her legacy to the nation.

Imprint: Minnesota, Liturgical Press, 2003 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. The book is more than a book about biblical prayers, as it sets such prayers in the larger context of biblical revelation so they are seen primarily as celebrations of God's great saving deeds of the Exodus and the Resurrection.

Imprint: London, Harper Collins, 2003 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped (Fine apart from a mark of fading to front left by a label being removed). xxxv + 535 pages. 40 colour illustrations. Coloured pictorial endpapers. This is the first biography of the fateful relationship between Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. It was the defining relationship of their lives and marked the intersection of the great Tudor and Stuart dynasties. At its core were their rival claims to the throne of England. Working almost exclusively from contemporary letters and writings, the biographer lets the two Queens speak to us across more than 400 years, their voices and responses surprisingly familiar to our own, their characters vivid, by turns touching and terrible. Mary was executed for plotting Elizabeth's murder, and after Elizabeth's death in 1603, marking the end of the Tudor dynasty, it was a posthumous triumph for Mary, whose son, James I united the English and Scottish thrones under a Stuart king. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.175 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** L.

In the late 1920's in England, The Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is recruited to help her cousin Edgar, Lord Dalrymple. About to turn fifty, Lord Dalrymple decides it is time to find out the proper heir to the viscountcy and the estate. With the help of the family lawyer, who advertises Empire-wide, they have come up with four potential claimants. For his fiftieth birthday, Edgar invites those would-be heirs - along with Daisy and the rest of the family - to Fairacres, the family estate. In the meantime, Daisy is asked to be the family's representative at the lawyer's interviews with the claimants. The four potential heirs reside in every corner of the world and come from all walks of society. However, one of them seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth - whether permanently or not, no one knows. While the various claims are still being evaluated, the other three descend upon Fairacres, where a series of unfortunate axcidents begin to occur. But are they really accidents, or is someone trying to eliminate the competition while there's still time? With the help of her husband, Scotland Yard detective Alec Fletcher, Daisy must uncover the truth and find the rightful heir before its too late.. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover.

A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a small mark to the closed fore edge) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. In early 1925, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, recent mother of twins, resumes her journalistic career by agreeing to write a piece about the Tower of London - The Bloody Tower - for an American magazine. Invited to observe the centuries old ritual Ceremony of the Keys, she's spending the night (her first time away from her babies) since the complex is locked and guarded, and the high walls are surrounded by a disused moat. Having been given a tour of the Crown Jewels, interviewed and observed the Yeoman Warders, and met the Ravenmaster, Daisy has more than enough material for her article and decides to leave as early as possible the next morning to return to her family. But when walking down the stairs, she almost trips over the dead body of one of the Yeoman Warders. That there's something seriously amiss cannot be denied, due to the pike sticking out of his back. With her husband, Scotland Yard DCI Alec Fletcher assigned to resolve the case, Daisy finds herself in the middle of the investigation.. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: London, Harvill Press, 1972 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First UK edition. A Very Good+ unmarked copy with complete dustjacket which has a little wear to top edge. Lady, a Golden Eagle, was taken as a chick from her nest in the mountains near Carpinteria, California, and although eagles are protected birds, Ed Durden had received permission to do this for the purpose of study and scientific research. Little did he he and his son Kent guess that she was to make her home with them for 16 years, or that when they released her to fly off with a mate, that she would leave a big gap in their family circle. Never has a wild Golden Eagle been observed over so long a period, and this account by Kent who was associated with all his father's adventures with Lady admirably and uniquely tells her story. C3A.

Illustrations by Ralph Thompson. How do you start a zoo? To his own cost, but to our delight, Gerald Durrell has found the awkward, complicated and fantastically funny answers to this unusual question. and he offers them in these pages with his usual warm delight in the antics of animals and the oddities of men. Putting (as it were) the cart before the horse, he travelled to West Africa to assemble his stock of rare creatures, ranging from bushbabies and chimpanzees to tree frogs and green mambas. The Fon of Bafut, his old friend, proved once again a resourceful and convivial host, as Mr. Durrell caught and packed his curious luggage and came back to England. But a zoo cannot be kept in your luggage indefinitely, as he found when he became involved in a protracted battle with the local council over possible sites. D4A. Illustr.: Thompson, Ralph.

Imprint: London, Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1967 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which has a small repaired closed tear to rear and is not price clipped. xxxi + 254 pages. The year 1848 was, in France as in several other European countries, a 'year of revolution'. There, as elsewhere, the monarchy was overthrown and the republic proclaimed, and a new liberal constitution was enacted by the nation's representatives. But in France, perhaps more than elsewhere, the revolution was deeply marked by the impact of the streets and workers' clubs and took the form of a protracted social drama, in which the players appear in the guise not only of political leaders but of contending social classes struggling for control of the state. Duveau shows the part played by such important personalities as Lamartine and Ledru-Rollin, and explains the various ideologies - including those of Marx, Saint-Simon, Fourier and Proudhon - which influenced the thought of man in 1848. **** NOT EX LIB **** A1E.
