Illustrations by Claudio Munoz. The vision of living in a world of grand spaces, beautiful furniture, historic paintings and elaborate gardens is immensely appealing, and the author lived this dream for seven years at Felbrigg Hall, Norfolk, a fine National Trust property, where her husband was administrator. However her lifestyle was closer to the servants of the past rather than the aristocrats, as at one time an army of servants kept the house in order, but now only a handful of staff provide the same service for its thousands of visitors. In this memoir she reveals what goes on behind the scenes not only of Felbrigg Hall but of stately homes all over the country. **** NOT EX LIB **** D4E. Illustr.: Munoz, Claudio.

Imprint: Brighton, Book Guild Publishing, 2006 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New copy. 352 pages. Illustrated throughout. Alastair Cavendish Lindsay Mackie (1922-2018) was formerly an Air Commodore and H-bomber pilot, twice decorated in war and twice again in peace. He Left his RAF career early because he disagreed with British and NATO defence policy - in particular what he describes as 'Britain's idiotic nuclear so-called deterrent, of which I had been a part as a hydrogen bomb pilot'. His rejection of the nuclear policy led to him becoming vice-chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. On leaving the RAF he studied law and then became Under-Treasurer at the Middle Temple. His varied subsequent roles included Registrar of the Architects Registration Council, Director General of the Health Education Council and President of the International Union for Health Education. He was a Vice-President of CND. During his action-packed career he was able to expose the cynicism of the tobacco, food and drink industries and contribute some hard-hitting truths to health and welfare debates. A1C.

Imprint: London, Bloomsbury, 2000 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition, First printing. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. An exploration of the love triangle between the writer, art collector and roue, Henri Pierre Roche and two English sisters, Violet and Margaret Court, which was immortalised by Roche himself in his autobiographical novel 'Two English Girls and the Continent' and later by Francois Truffaut in his film 'Anne and Muriel'. In this book the author explores, for the first time in detail, the vast amount of source material written by Violet, Margaret and Roche and produces an impeccable piece of investigative research to tell an engrosing tale of innocence and betrayal, of intellectual life and social experiment and also a love story to stand your hair on end. *** NOT EX LIB *** D4C.

Imprint: London, John Murray, 2019 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy. 574 pages. 30 illustrations. Between January and July 1919, after the war to end all wars, men and women from all over the world converged on Paris for the Peace Conference. At its heart were the leaders of the three great powers - Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau. Kings, prime ministers and foreign ministers with their crowds of advisers rubbed shoulders with journalists and lobbyists for a hundred causes - from Armenian independence to women's rights. Everyone had business in Paris that year - T.E. Lawrence, Queen Marie of Romania, Maynard Keynes, Ho Chi Minh. There had never been anything like it before, and there never has been since. For six extraordinary months the city was effectively the centre of world government as the peacemakers wound up bankrupt empires and created new countries. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China and dismissed the Arabs, struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews. The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; failed above all to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan argues that they have unfairly been made scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. They tried to be evenhanded, but their goals - to make defeated countries pay without destroying them, to satisfy impossible nationalist dreams, to prevent the spread of Bolshevism and to establish a world order based on democracy and reason - could not be achieved by diplomacy. This book offers a prismatic view of the moment when much of the modern world was first sketched out. 50. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Soft Cover. Jacket: No Jacket Stock number: 011105.

A clean, tight copy which has gentle creasing to spine, some little light marks to fore and lower edges, internally very clean, tight and unmarked. 369 pages. In this remarkable book Dr. Magee peels off the pious accretions and interpretative wrappings added by the earliest gentile bishops to the story of the exploits of Jesus to make the gospels acceptable to the Romans and the basis of a universal religion. The truth is peculiarly transparent in the bible, although two thousand years of conditioning and the invention of spurious translations of Greek words to suit Christian belief in the so-called New Testament Greek have succeeded in blinding even the most critical of scholars. Dr Magee explains parables and the healing miracles, and such difficulties as the cursing of the fig tree, the meaning of Nazarene, the cleansing of the temple, the release of Barabbas, Peter's triple denial, the tribute money and the Gadarene swine.

Foreword by Bamber Gascoigne. 'It's only a bloody game!'. Thus Magnus Magnusson's words of reassurance at the start of every 'Mastermind' programme, in an attempt to cheer up the nervous contestants as they awaited the ordeal of the Black Chair. But Mastermind, of course, was more than a game: it was a national institution, a must for millions of viewers for 25 years, and when the BBC announced that it was coming to an end it made front page news. In this fascinating and revealing book the Interrogator himself, Magnus Magnusson, tells the behind-the-scenes story of a television programme which made broadcasting history, drawing on the memories and records of the Mastermind Club - an exclusive haven for the survivors of the Black Chair. 24.

Dublin, 1984, Ireland is a divided country, the Parish Priest remains a figure of immense authority who commands absolute respect, and Jim Finnehan is 13 years old, the youngest in a family of five sisters. Life in Jim's world consists of dealing with the helter-skelter intensity of his rumbustious family, taking breakneck bike rides with his best friend, and quietly coveting the local girls from afar. But after a drunken yet delicate rendition of 'The Fields of Athenry' at the Donohue's raucous annual party, Jim captures both the attention of the beautiful Saidhbh Donohue and the unwanted desires of the devious and dangerous Father Luke O'Culigeen. 13.
