First World War
Many books are being published to commemorate the centenary of the First World War, but none will cover the subject with as much colour and variety as this lavish, 100-page collection of fascinating facts, evocative photographs (many not seen for a hundred years), wide-ranging articles on all sorts of subjects and poignant pieces of poetry written by soldiers at the front. The main events of the years 1914 to 1918 are chronicled, complemented by informative articles about the main battles and illustrated features on many different aspects of life both in the trenches and on the home front. These include an account of the famous Christmas Truce of 1914, the role played by women in the factories of Britain, and details of some of the music hall stars who entertained the troops. A series entitled “The First World War on Screen” shows how the war has been depicted in films "Thank you so much and on television, for This England's while “A Pilgrimage Illustrated History of to Remember” is one lady’s moving account the First World War. of her recent visit to the It is such an impressive battlefields.

Beatrix Potter: Her Inner World
New
Beatrix Potter was brought up as an only child with little support from her parents, so it is hardly surprising she indulged in juvenile fantasies from which developed Peter Rabbit and friends. Read how she became a best-selling children’s author and survived an early personal tragedy before settling into serious nature conservation in the Lake District. A remarkable woman.

They Did Not Grow Old
Teenage Conscripts on the Western Front 1918
In June 1918, 135 teenagers arrived in France as part of the thousands sent to reinforce the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front. The coming months would see some of the fiercest, bloodiest, yet least remembered fighting of the war as these young men finally forced the enemy into retreat. Looking beyond the war as portrayed by poets and playwrights, Tim Lynch tells the story of Britain’s true Unknown Soldiers — the teenage conscripts, exploring what turned men so often dismissed as “shirkers” into a motivated professional army.

The House of Redgrave: The Lives of a Theatrical Dynasty
New
In 1928, at the end of a production of Hamlet at the Old Vic, Laurence Olivier strode to the front of the stage and announced, pointing at his co-star Michael Redgrave, “Tonight a great actress has been born. Laertes has a daughter.” He meant Vanessa Redgrave. That is where this dramatic book’s story begins. It concludes in 2009, with the sudden and tragic death in a skiing accident of Vanessa’s daughter Natasha Richardson. There is never a dull moment in the story of this remarkable dynasty, whose contribution to British drama and film has been immense. (342pp, paperback) Code: LHRED Just £9.99 to UK overseas £12.99.

Older but not Wiser: The Wit and Wisdom of Cath Tate
New
In the realm of amusing, deadpan greetings cards, Cath Tate is the original and best. In her thirty-year career she has created thousands of witty, original cards, featuring grim-faced old ladies and ludicrously dressed 1920s gentlemen, paired with text that perfectly captures her highly individual view on the world. This hilarious book brings together the best of Cath’s work on ageing. Wise, cynical and — very occasionally — warm, it is packed with insights into this universal process, whether we choose to embrace it or defy it. (112pp, hardback) Code: LOWIS Just £8.99 to UK

Following an examination of their training, the author describes what life on the ground was like for these courageous women, when the threat of betrayal and the possibility of capture or death were ever-present.

The Kings and Queens of England
New
For anyone remotely interested in royal affairs, discovering who did what, where, when and how, then this book has all the answers. Don’t be put off by the number of pages because it is a highly engaging, concise and readable account of all our monarchs. Starting with Athelstan in 925AD, it covers every king and queen in 58 relatively short chapters. A chapter a night will therefore take you just two months to travel more than 1,000 years.

The Treasures of William Shakespeare

The author, Bob Barton, has spent five years visiting remarkable hostelries where cask ale and coffee are served along with generous portions of railway heritage, and now you can too with the help of this lavishly illustrated guide.

The GWR was the world’s first railway designed for high speed passenger travel, and it was adorned with masterpieces such as Hanwell Viaduct, Maidenhead Bridge, Box Tunnel and the stations at Paddington and Temple Meads. A visit to the Didcot Railway Centre provided the opportunity to film Firefly, a painstakingly created replica of the first locomotive designed by Daniel Gooch for the GWR in 1840. Particular attention is given to the broad gauge controversy, development of Swindon Works and the surrounding railway village, and you will also realise the impact that the GWR had on Bath, courtesy of a superb account by local author Andrew Swift.
