Imprint: London, Harper Collins, 2008 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, first printing. xxii + 522 pages. 53 illustrations. One of Britain's most innovative comedians and arguably its most popular, he united the nation in laughter with Hancock's Half Hour, the show that established the situation comedy. But behind Hancock's success lurked a tendency to self-destruction that would compromise his later years. Prone to professional insecurity and a slave to perfection, he gradually detached himself from the writers, agents and actors who had played an essential role in his success. In this first full appraisal, on the fortieth anniversary of his death, Fisher sheds new light on Hancock's fall from grace, examining what went wrong and questioning whether his suicide was inevitable. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.9 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST **** C3B.

Imprint: London, J.M. Dent, 1973 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy ( Fine apart from a minor indentation to front) with VG+ dustjacket. A rectangular format volume of xi + 123 pages. 60 period photographs specially prepared by George Morrison. London, with its great historical tradition, has food as varied as its people, some of whom have 'emigrated' from many parts of the country and from all corners of the world to settle in the capital. Some have set up their own traditions, but Londoners, including the legendary - and still flourishing - Cockney, have absorbed most of them - and their cooking. Thus the food of London derives from many places. The author has mingled London's history with many excellent dishes, ranging from the foods made famous by chefs such as Soyer of the Reform Club to the humbler boiled beef and carrots. Each recipe is faced by a period photograph of people, places and events, some taken as long ago as the 1840's. 11. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Dubious miracles and confused morals are the stuff of the twelve fables in this entrancing book. The adorable father Boniface achieves sanctity despite a life of exalted sensuality, Sesame O'Hare, a frustrated academic, finds her true calling when she hijacks the career of the illustrious poet A.T. Harrington, Edmund Ignatius MacHugh, the guiding light of the Shambla Seekers, has a Celtic epiphany which dazzles a wealthy American lady but fails to impress the disgruntled locals.

Imprint: London, W.H. Allen, 1967 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped and has a repaired closed tear. 59 pages. Introduction, translation and notes by Francis Steegmuller. 'I go from hope to anxiety, from wild optimism to dreary negation; its rain and sun, but its a gilded cardboard sun and a misty rain with no storm.' These words were written by one of France's greatest writers, the future author of Madame Bovary, when he was 18 years old. At that time Gustave Flaubert was living with his parents in Rouen, dutifully following his father's wishes by studying to enter the Paris Law School. Fortunately, however, his true ambitions were distinctly literary, and it was to an ordinary schoolboy's copybook that Flaubert confided his earliest longings and most intimate thoughts. Passed on to Flaubert's niece as part of his literary estate, and presumed lost for over 80 years, in 1965 the text of this precious document was discovered in France, and published there for the first time. It was immediately greeted as an authentic candid portrait of Flaubert experiencing the first tremors of his future creativity. In this journal he reveals himself to be a romantic, fiercely self-doubting adolescent, simultaneously 'struggling with the flesh, swimming in philosophy, and trying to convince himself of his own faith in his literary vocation.' 2.
