Imprint: London, Grafton Books, 1986 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a few marks to top edge) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xix + 588 pages. 64 illustrations. Throughout the Second World War and the Cold War which followed, Britain's Secret Service was compromised by a group of privileged, Cambridge-educated Englishmen who consistently betrayed their country by working for Stalin's Russia. Two Sunday Times writers have investigated the astonishing story of Anthony Blunt and his accomplices, who included Burgess, Maclean and Philby. Their book shows how deeply the Blunt network penetrated the British Establishment on behalf of the Russians. Anthony Blunt, Keeper of the Queen's Pictures, friend of the royal family, Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art, was born in Bournemouth in 1907, the son of an Anglican clergyman. This solid middle-class background made him an unlikely agent, but at Cambridge, after meeting Guy Burges, a fellow member of the Apostles (the university's elite intellectual society), Blunt became a communist and Russian spy.

Imprint: London, Latimer House, 1948 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Silver title on blue cloth boards which are clean and unmarked with no wear but with a small amount of fading to spine head. Internally there is light foxing to closed edges and a touch to endpapers else clean, tight and unmarked. Dustjacket has some chipping, small closed tears, wear to edges and is not price clipped. After the First World War, just as after that of the Second World War, the economic situation in Great Britain was difficult. Thousands of young men, newly released from the armed forces anxious to launch themselves afresh, found themselves hampered and frustrated, and in desperation turned their thoughts to the Dominions overseas. The author was one of that generation, a professional soldier, yet now retired from the Indian Army, who emigrated to Australia in 1923. Of Australia and of farming he knew nothing, settling down to a life wholly strange to him. How did he fare? With what unexpected problems and difficulties did he have to cope? What lessons does his experience offer to those who would like to emigrate? A fascinating tale of an early emigrant and of farming in Australia. 1. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover.

Forester's much-loved novels portrayed Horatio Hornblower as a dashing hero who came to represent British naval tradition of courage and gallantry - but was he an entirely fictional creation? Bryan thinks not as he shows the many parallels between Hornblower's career and that of a real hero, Admiral Sir James Gordon. Gordon came from a modest background, joined the navy at 11, served more than 75 years, and died an Admiral of the Fleet. An absorbing story by a master of research. 50. Book Condition: Fine.

Imprint: London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1986 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. A rectangular format volume of 160 pages. Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs. The village has always been the centre of English country life. Clustered round a church, a pond or a green; spread round a common or along the banks of a river; huddled at the gate of a castle or manor house, there is an underlying unity that is given by the use of local materials. So we find whole villages made of one glowing stone, roofed in another; villages of half-timber and wattle and painted plaster; villages of wood, of flint, of pebbles, with roofs of thatch, tiles, or slate, or stone. The author has concentrated on finding the, as yet unspoilt villages that, gloriously preserved, still embody the whole idea of traditional English country life. A1F. Book Condition: Fine.

First edition, first printing. 327 pages. 35 illustrations. 9 maps. In the book, the author takes us on an exciting journey into biblical times, using the latest archaeological evidence as well as a new reading of the Old Testament to recreate early Hebrew history. He shows that much of the Old Testament can be corroborated, from the conquest of Canaan and the seven plagues of Egypt to the battle between David and Eshbaal at the Pool of Gibeon. But above all, he uncovers the identity of Moses, unpicking the confused chronology of Exodus to reveal that, Moses was not one but two men, living at different times - a Hebrew priest called Kamose who first discovered God and inspired the Israelites with a new religion, and the Egyptian Prince Tuthmose, who led them out of slavery. And he locates one of the holiest places in the world, the Mountain of God, which is not today's Mount Sinai but another, more ancient religious site in the Kingdom of Edom. R4. Book Condition: Fine.

The carbon dating of the famous Turin Shroud in 1988 revealed that the cloth was not the winding sheet of Jesus, but to the authors that was not the end of the matter, but the start of a whole new investigation. Re-analysing the historical evidence they have uncovered the story of one of the most remarkable fakes of all time and have answered the question of means, motive and opportunity and proved who created the Shroud and whose image appears on it. Perhaps most remarkably of all, they have replicated the technique by which it was created. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** NOT BOOK CLUB **** R1. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

In the year of the bicentenary of the birth of Annabella Noel Byron, Joan Pierson makes a timely and sympathetic reassessment of the misunderstood and much maligned woman. She refutes the unfavourable contemporary judgements made about her and reveals instead the many benevolent causes she supported, which included the setting up of schools, the abolition of slavery and the purchase of a house 'for the purposes of rescuing young girls from sin and misery'. The real and moving reasons for her separation from Lord Byron are examined, and detailed information is provided about Lord Byron and their daughter Ada and their lives both together and apart, supported by fresh analysis of Byron's letters and journals.

Map endpapers and 3 other maps. Vichy France under Marshal Pétain was an authoritarian regime that sought to perpetuate a powerful place for France in the world alongside Germany. It echoed the right-wing ideals of other fascist states and was a perfect instrument for Hitler, who drew more and more power and resources from a beaten France whose people suffered. Resistance was an unknown until a small number sought to make a stand in whatever way they could. Each would play their part in destabilising the Vichy state, all the while rejecting the Nazi occupation of their eternal France. The Dordogne was one of many hotbeds of early refusal and its dramatic stories are here told against the backdrop of the rise and fall of Vichy France. These stories, like so many others of often ordinary people - men and women, young and old - tell of a period of betrayal, refusal and heroism.. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: Paris, Larousse, 2002 Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Un livre comme neuf. Le Siècle du cinéma donne un point de vue très documenté sur l'odyssée de cet art encore jeune. Chronique, année par année, de la grande histoire du cinéma, l'ouvrage témoigne aussi des enthousiasmes et des espoirs, des crises, des soubresauts parfois, du monde bigarré et polymorphe qui le compose. Patchwork de textes, de brèves, d'échos, d'anecdotes, le Siècle du cinéma offre, en même temps qu'un regard synthétique sur l'histoire du cinéma, une image de la société, de ses valeurs et de son évolution telle que l'écran la reflète. ' Exemplaire réussite que cet ouvrage volumineux qui s'avère une inestimable source de documentation et un véritable objet de plaisir. ' Jean-Luc Douin, Télérama.

When Lucy Pinney arrived in the lush Dorset countryside 30years ago she was newly married, very enthusiastic and charmingly naive. After a bucolic love-affair worthy of a Thomas Hardy novel, Lucy launched herself into pig keeping, cake baking and lamb rearing with gusto. But nothing had prepared her for the essential oddness and precariousness of rural life. The book is a funny, honest and affectionate memoir of a life spent learning to know and love the countryside and those who live off the land. **** NOT EX LIB **** 23. Book Condition: Fine.
