Imprint: London, Collins, 1979 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which is not price clipped. The author is the pseudonym of Pauline Glen Winslow. Damaris St. Cloud was the toast of Regency London, but the young and lovely wife of the ageing Earl of Malfrey was so circumspect that they called her 'the cool countess'. Suddenly scandal erupted which took Damaris post haste to a Brussels rife with rumour in the aftermath of Waterloo, and then on an eventful voyage to the New World, where she found her fortunes linked to those of a self-centred adventurer. The aristocratic beauty was not welcome in a puritanical New England township, yet her charm soon won all hearts. **** NOT EX LIB **** C3A. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: London, Bantam Press, 2004 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New unmarked copy with an As New dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. 428 pages. Numerous illustrations in the text. Map endpapers. The events of Florence Baker's life read like a novel. Born in the 1840s into an aristocratic family who was murdered in the Hungarian revolution, Florence fled to the Ottoman empire with her nurse. She was next heard of living in a harem, barely in her teens. In 1859 she was presented at auction, and it was in this most unlikely of settings that she met her soulmate Sam Baker, a wealthy English adventurer whose geographic discoveries proved crucial to England's understanding of the African landscape. Saving her from slavery, Sam offered his paramour much more - a life of danger, excitement and passion exploring the uncharted interior of Africa in search of the source of the Nile. Their expedition into the African wilderness was to be no less dramatic than Florence's early life. Sam and Florence were to suffer years of deprivation and conflict with local tribes before their amazing fortitude brought ultimate victory. Sam named the source of the Nile Albert N'yanza, after the Queen's consort. But a larger challenge awaited them: winning acceptance in polite Victorian society. In this riveting book Pat Shipman brings the redoubtable and unique Florence out from beneath the shadow of her more famous husband. Florence Baker is the story of a remarkable woman, of an extraordinary love affair, but also of the golden age of exploration. Reconstructed through journals, documents, maps and photographs, THE STOLEN WOMAN chronicles the life of a tenacious, compassionate and unlikely explorer - a woman who stood alongside some of the toughest men in history to face the unknown..

Imprint: Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1987 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG price clipped dustjacket. xix + 266 pages. 20 illustrations. 1 map. Genealogical trees of the Marshall family and of the Williams family. Jeanette Marshall, daughter of an eminent anatomist, scanned the drawing rooms of late Victorian London, and assiduously recorded her impressions in diaries she kept for 23 years. In constant pursuit of a husband, craftily steering a course between strong-mindedness and frivolity, she applied her brisk realism and caustic manner to draw a vivid and unexpected picture of Victorian daily life. Drawing on this previously untapped source, the author reconstructs the story of the Marshall family, charting the trials and fortunes, both comic and poignant, which befell these precariously privileged newcomers to London society. Jeanette Marshall's trenchant comments provide a fresh view of such friends as Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown, and Burne-Jones's mistress Mary Zambaco. **** NOT EX LIB **** A1E. Book Condition: Fine.

One November day in 1958, the celebrated historian Hugh Trevor-Roper received a curious letter. It was an appeal for help, written on behalf of a postgraduate student at Magdalen College, who complained that he was being persecuted by the Bishop of Oxford. Curiosity piqued, Trevor-Roper agreed to see the man calling himself 'Robert Peters'. It was to be the start of an investigation he would pursue for the next quarter of a century. Beginning with the detailed dossier Trevor-Roper kept on Peters, Adam Sisman uncovers the extraordinary life of one of England's most eccentric conmen, a serial seducer, a fraud, a bigamist - and possibly the last Anglican clergyman to be formally defrocked . Though he lacked any academic qualifications, Peters succeeded in being appointed to teaching posts in universities from Colombo, Ceylon to Columbus, Ohio - and almost everwhere in between. Despite being didmissed, deported from country after country and repeatedly exposed in the press, Peters always bounced back - leaving a trail of destruction that included at least eight marriages, three prison sentences, an investigation by the FBI and a disastrous appearance on the TV programme 'Mastermind'. 168.

What is the relevance of Christianity to a world which is plunged in a neurosis of anxiety, as the accumulation of disasters and threats seem to grow higher and higher ? What, indeed, is the message of Christianity to so many Christians themselves who are not exempt from the same fears, whether about their personal concerns, their Church or their fellow men ? The Abbe Six believes that the answer is to be found in prayer, but prayer with a difference. He relates the exercise of prayer to the changing face of life, escaping routine and reawakening a sense of the meaningfulness and power of prayer. These prayers, prayerful aphorisms or contemporary meditations will appeal to all seeking a basic assurance, **** NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY **** R7. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Soft Cover.

Imprint: London, Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1984 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with no inscriptions with Fine dustjacket whic is price clipped. x + 209 pages. Genealogical chart. In this pioneering study of the Verney family, Professor Slater shows how a family of country gentry lived and behaved in a time of political and social crisis. Most of their energies were directed within the family, their concens with marriage and children, with relationships between members of the Verney clan, with managing their estates and property. They emerge as real people with passions and hatreds, made to live their lives by corrspondence when the head of the family was forced to live abroad as an exile and casualty of the political tumults. But their misfortunes have created a unique archive which allows the author to delve deep into the very heart of their personal lives, and to create an extraordinary collective portrait of a family in a time of troubles. 24.

You thought no one saw you. You were wrong. Leigh and her sister Callie are not bad people but one night, more than two decades ago, they did something terrible. And the result was a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, devastated by violence. Years later, Leigh has pushed that night from her mind and become a successful lawyer but when she is forced to take on a new client against her will, her world begins to spiral out of control. Because the client knows the truth about what happened twenty-three years ago. He knows what Leigh and Callie did. And unless they stop him, he's going to tear their lives apart. Just because you didn't see the witness doesn't mean he wasn't there. D4A. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: As New Stock number: 011523. ISBN: 9780008303501
