Imprint: New York, Arcade Publishing, 1990 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition, First Printing. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from evidence of a small erasure of price) with near Fine dustjacket. Translated from the French by Linda Coverdale. The Tunisian author's powerful novel, set in North Africa, of an aging but still vigorous widow, Horia El-Gharib, who draws strength from the distant but always comforting image of Lion Mountain and for many long years has sat alone on her terrace with her Nubian servant, Saad. Horia, a direct descendant of the learned warrior lords who arrived here centuries ago from Andalusia after it's conquest by the infidel, has lived all her days in this village and with the help of Imam Sadek and the faithful Saad, she has struggled to reconcile tradition and change. As a young widow with two boys to raise and feed, as a woman daring to treat equality with the local men in commerce and trade, as a native under French colonial occupiers and perhaps hardest of all as a defiant opponent of the indigenous lackeys sent to Lion Mountain by the newly formed independent state.

Imprint: Paris, Michel Albin, 1977 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Livre Très Bon. 348 pages. 25 illustrations. Jules Renard est mort en 1910, mais aucun lecteur ne s'étonnerait si on lui disait que Jules Renard est un écrivain encore vivant, dans la force de l'âge. Quelles sont les raisons qui lui assurent cette longévité dans la gloire ? C'est sans doute d'abord parce qu'il a créé un des personnages les plus célèbres de notre littérature moderne : Poil de Carotte. C'est ensuite parce que sous son humour, que l'on a trop vite qualifié de féroce, se cache une infinie tendresse. Dans son fameux Journal, Jules Renard s'écrie : 'Bah ! après ma mort, quelqu'un s'apercevra bien que j'étais bon.' Maurice Toesca s'en est aperçu. Il a lu tout ce que Jules Renard a écrit et il a été le premier à porter sur les écrans de la télévision une adaptation de L'Écornifleur, l'un des douze meilleurs romans du siècle si on en croit un jury qui comprenait André Gide, François Mauriac et Jean Paulhan. Ce Jules Renard représente pour Maurice Toesca autre chose qu'une simple biographie : 'cest une sorte de manifeste en faveur de l'honnêteté morale, des grandeurs et souffrances de l'artistes et de l'amour de la langue française. Un livre passionnant à lire, spirituel et émouvant, digne du sujet qu'il traite et qui prend une place brillante dans l'oeuvre de Maurice Toesca, à côté de son étude sur Le plus grand amour de George Sand et de son Lamartine ou l'amour de la vie. 50.

Imprint: London, Simon and Schuster, 2006 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, first printing. 328 pages. Jane Tomkinson was just 26 when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. A decade later, in 2000, she was told that the disease had spread to her bones and she had only six months to live. The devoted mother of three had to find a way to make the most of every moment left to her, and getting her body into peak physical fitness seemed right for her. She started to run, and a 5 kilometre event led to the London Marathon. In 2004 she had set her sights on a 2,000 mile Rome to Home cycle ride, and her and her brother set off on their tandem from the Vatican City with a papal blessing. But even this challenge couldn't satisfy her, and she decided to tackle the legendary Florida Ironman Triathlon - a two and a half mile swim, a 112 mile cycle and a marathon length run - and battling constant pain, she became the first terminally ill person ever to complete the course. Mike and Jane's last adventure was a gruelling 3,700 mile cycle ride from San Francisco to New York, raising pounds 1.4 million for cancer charities. 20. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: London, Faber and Faber, 2010 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New copy with an As New dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. xv + 458 pages. 21 illustrations. 1 map. 2 family trees. The image of Catherine of Aragon has always suffered in comparison to the vivacious eroticism of Anne Boleyn. But when Henry VIII married Catherine, she was an auburn-haired beauty in her twenties with a passion she had inherited from her parents, Isabella and Ferdinand, the joint rulers of Spain who had driven the Moors from their country. This daughter of conquistadors showed the same steel and sense of command when organising the defeat of the Scots at the Battle of Flodden and Henry was to learn, to his cost, that he had not met a tougher opponent on or off the battlefield when he tried to divorce her. This new biography is the first in more than four decades to be dedicated entirely and uniquely to the tenacious woman whose marriage lasted twice as long as those of Henry's five other wives put together. It draws on fresh material from Spain to trace the dramatic events of her life through Catherine of Aragon's own eyes.. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover.

It began back in 1986, at the fair, on the day of the accident. That was when twelve-year-old Eddie met Mr Halloran - the Chalk Man. He gave Eddie the idea for the drawings: a way to leave secret messages for his friends and it was fun, until the chalk men led them to a body. Thirty years later, Ed believes the past is far behind him, until an envelope slips through the letterbox. It contains a stick of chalk, and a drawing of a figure. Is history going to repeat itself? Was it ever really over? Will this game only end in the same way? D4A. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: As New Stock number: 011521. ISBN: 9780718187439
