Books
Mr Brigg’s Hat
by Kate Colquhoun the story of murder on a London train… This thrilling book, which reads at times like a good Victorian novel, is the story of the murder on a London train, in 1864, of a bank clerk called Thomas Briggs. The chief suspect is identified quite early on – so it is more of a “did-he-do-it” than a “who-dunnit”. Nevertheless it is consistently surprising and evokes a fascinagting era. If you enjoy the Sherlock Holmes stories here is one for real – complete with outstanding atmosperics! Published price: £8.99 | Our price: £7.99
Cables from Kabul
by Sherard Cowper-Coles Ever wonder exactly what we are doing in Afghanistan? This fascinating book by the British Ambassador in 2007 – since fallen from grace with his political masters – succinctly sets out the view of the senior diplomat on the ground that an almost complete lack of strategic planning and absence of coherent policies makes any credible outcome an impossibility. Highly recommended. Published price:£8.99 | Our price: £7.99
The Etymologicon
What is the actual connection between gruntled and disgruntled?
The Last Gunfight
The definitive work on the Wild West’s greatest shoot-out…
Pure
An enthralling historical novel set in Paris shortly before the French revolution…
Dickens’s Victorian London
As the celebrations of Charles Dickens’s bicentenary kick in this month, this new book looks at the London he lived in and so vividly described.
Bring Up the Bodies
by Hilary Mantel The long awaited sequel to Wolf Hall. In “Bring Up the Bodies” Hilary Mantel explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes of English History – the destruction of Anne Boleyn. Neither Minister nor King will emerge undamaged from the bloody theatre of Anne’s final days…… Due out on the 10th May 2012 this is a “must read” for anyone interested in superbly researched, brilliantly written historical fiction. Copies can be pre-ordered in the shop. Published price: £20.00 | Our price: £17.00
India: A Portrait
by Patrick French In his portrait of India, French brings vast knowledge, plus a sensitivity to the country’s subtler nuances and a wealth of research. He explores how India pulls at the old restraints, yet remains tied to established patterns. Poverty is a fact, and tradition still has a powerful grip on all classes. This is a balanced, authoritative account of a nation looking both forward and backward. An excellent read for anyone interested in the world’s shifting economic power bases as well as a fascinating study of the vast sub-continent. Published price: £10.99 | Our price: £9.99
