Synopsis

Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. He was also a journalist and a broadcasting narrator. S. T. Joshi has stated that "his work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's." Though Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe.

    'A must-read. Funny and utterly compelling' Jonathan Ross
    Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five Baftas and a lifetime achievement award.
    Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number and his marriage collapsed.
    In an emotionally charged memoir that is by turns hilarious and harrowing, he lets us into the secrets of the writing room and colourfully describes the high-octane atmosphere of a sitcom set. But he also berates an industry where there was no one to stand by his side when he needed help.
    Bruised but not beaten, he explains why he chose the hill of women and girls' rights to die on – and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he's not coming down from it any time soon.

    The Lost Searchlight Tapes...

    Vivian, the headmaster of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, was also a singular author, poet, painter, actor, and iconic British eccentric. This unique audiobook offers rare insight into the brilliant clockwork mind of this late British national treasure. Renaissance man Stanshall holds forth on a number of insightful topics relating to his turbulent life and enticing, inspirational, evergreen work. This in-depth production also includes a concise one-hour biological overview of Vivian’s life as well as the personal remembrances of his close friend and longtime colleague, Giuliano. Stanshall was the quintessential, offbeat pop icon of the 60s, 70s and 80s. His tales of the upper-class Rawlinsons and Maynards are perfect fare for anyone with a warped sense of humor. Born Victor Anthony Stanshall, March 21, 1943, Shillingford, Oxfordshire, his post-WWII family settled in the coastal town of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. From teenage bingo-caller to painting fairground attractions (and a spell in the merchant navy), Viv enrolled at London’s Central School of Art and Design. It was there in September 1962, he met Roger Ruskin Spear, Rodney Slater and Neil Innes (the latter attended nearby Goldsmiths College) and, with other equally unorthodox musicians, formed The Bonzo's. They appeared in the Beatles ' Mystery Tour' movie in 1967, to an off-kilter top 10 hit with `I’m The Urban Spaceman’ a year later, As the Dogs decided to split in early 1970 (after four LPs: `Gorilla’, `The Doughnut In Granny’s Greenhouse’, `Tadpoles’ and `Keynsham’), it presented an opportunity for Viv to explore his inner-madness on a few now highly collectable 45s. Contractual duties led Viv back to the Bonzos for 1972’s 'Let’s Make Up And Be Friendly’ – showcasing his sophisticated, spoken-wordsmith’s introduction to Sir Henry, via the 9-minute `Rawlinson End’.

    This story is true and remains dedicated to impacting the needs and lives of individuals in society: all the topics are real, whereas it's main purpose is to raise awareness of ongoing issues, yet present encouraging messages. 
    Inspired by the life, work and values of Artist/Composer, Producer, Leader & Friend: Gregory Kemmis. 
    This is the first literary work written by Gregory W. Kemmis, an acclaimed artist. 
    He specializes in media production, and his previous experiences include a plethora of original works and performances within the music industry. During the most recent decade to date, he rapidly grew within his career, expanding his knowledge and applied skills to include creating independent documentaries or episodic series. 
    Intentionally covering on some of the most pressing issues, to educate and spark awareness about experience, adaptation and controversial topics still at large presently, Kemmis has taken this goal to another level when considering the writings contained within "The One By One Documentaries." 
    It should also be noted that this literary work is a collection of what once was an episodic series made for television broadcasts but was never actually distributed to the public. Although this remains the case regarding the television series, Kemmis has changed direction to avail the opportunity to publish this series in book form. 
    It was critical to him that the events contained within "The One By One Documentaries" be heard and spoken to worldwide readers as generations continue to adapt to life and culture. He composes this book as the first of what should remain important compilations towards sufficiently leading a way towards past silencing rights to express ourselves.

    tim cooney's life reads more like an adventure story than a biography. 
    how he went from homeless to being nominated for an oscar is definitely not the usual path. 
    along the way there were 8 more nominations for various awards, elephants and tigers, hollywood, rock and roll royalty, real royalty, and a very unusual cast of characters in this mans life story
