    Perceval Gibbon was born on the 4th November 1879 in Trelech, Carmarthenshire in Wales and, unusually, was partly educated at the Moravian School, in Koenigsfeld, Baden, Germany.  
     
    Gibbon’s early career was as a merchant seaman during which he travelled to Europe, Africa, and the Americas.  These early experiences were later reflected in his literary works. 
     
    He is perhaps best known for his 1912 novel ‘Margaret Harding’ but began his literary career as a poet with ‘African Items’ in 1903 followed quickly by two novels and then the first collection of his short stories in 1905: ‘Vrouw Grobelaar's Leading Cases’.  His short stories were much admired, and many contained cutting and ironic endings. 
     
    As a journalist he wrote for several newspapers including for the Rand Daily Mail and in the closing stages of the Boer War he wrote for the Natal Witness.  
     
    As the First World War began its titanic struggle across Europe Gibbon joined British Intelligence and was also a war correspondent with the Italian Army from 1917-1918.  
     
    By the end of the War he had advanced to the rank of Major in the British Royal Marines. 
     
    Perceval Gibbon died on the 30th May 1926.

    In the freezing English countryside, Father Brown leads Flambeau to the many monuments and shrines of the great General St. Claire. "Sacred to the Memory of General Sir Arthur St. Clare, Hero and Martyr, who Always Vanquished his Enemies and Always Spared Them, and Was Treacherously Slain by Them At Last. May God in Whom he Trusted both Reward and Revenge him." is the inscription that they read on each of them. Flambeau knows nothing of him but listens to the story of this man as Father Brown tells it. Was St. Claire truly a hero and martyr? What is the mystery behind his last foolish and hopeless charge against an overwhelming enemy? This detective story delves into human psychology for many of the clues to unravel the tangled threads. A fascinating story and said to be one of Chesterton's best Fr.Brown stories.

    "In Our Time" is a collection of short stories by Ernest Hemingway, first published in 1925. The book is divided into two parts: the first consists of short vignettes, often referred to as "interchapters," while the second contains longer stories.  
    Set against the backdrop of World War I and the aftermath of the war, the collection explores themes of disillusionment, loss, and the struggle to find meaning in a chaotic world. Hemingway's spare, economical prose style, known for its understatement and minimalism, is on full display throughout the book. 
    The interchapters serve as interludes between the longer stories, providing glimpses into the lives of ordinary people and capturing moments of everyday existence. These vignettes offer insights into the human condition, often with a sense of detachment and stoicism. 
    The longer stories delve deeper into the lives of characters grappling with the effects of war, both physical and psychological. From soldiers coping with trauma to expatriates navigating the complexities of love and relationships, Hemingway paints a vivid portrait of individuals struggling to find their place in a world marked by violence and uncertainty. 
    "In Our Time" showcases Hemingway's mastery of the short story form and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience with precision and clarity. Through its exploration of themes such as war, trauma, and resilience, the collection remains a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.

    In the dark depths of the bottomless sea dwells a white demon, taking shape as the Leviathan known as Moby Dick. One year ago, the malefic brute crunched off the leg of the ungodly Captain Ahab, who now swears revenge. So runs the epic tale of Moby Dick, the supernal work of Herman Melville. In this unabridged production, you will walk with the young sailor Ishmael through the fires of life on a whaling vessel. Each character is brought to life by the narration of B.J. Harrison, who also turns Melville’s sometimes over-potent expository information into an easily digestible treat.

    Irremediable - A Woman in Pursuit

    Ella D'Arcy

    Ella D'Arcy was born on 23rd August 1857 in London, one of nine children.  
     
    Her education spanned London, Germany, France and the Channel Islands. A student of fine art, her poor eyesight meant a switch to literature was needed and with this she had hopes to be an author. 
     
    She worked as a contributor and unofficial editor, alongside Henry Harland, to The Yellow Book, Aubrey Beardsley’s sensational quarterly magazine that combined art, stories, poetry, essays and much else besides.  D'Arcy wrote several stories for the magazine and her stories have an undeniable psychological and realist style through her engagement with various themes from marriage, the family, imitation through to deception.  
     
    Recognition of her talents grew after the publication of ‘Irremediable’, in the Yellow Book, where it received much praise from critics.   
     
    She also wrote and published in the Argosy, Blackwood's Magazine, and Temple Bar.  
     
    However, D’Arcy’s canon was small and, apart from her magazine stories, her book publishing was limited to ‘Monochromes’ (1895), ‘Modern Instances’ and ‘The Bishop’s Dilemma’ (1898). She also translated André Maurois's biography of Percy Bysshe Shelley entitled ‘Ariel’ (1924). 
     
    Her diligence with work aside she was notorious for her inability to maintain relationships with friends.  When she did appear to them it was often unannounced.  This earned her the sobriquet 'Goblin Ella.' 
     
    D'Arcy spent much of her life living alone, though she had a constant urge to travel, but usually she resided on the edge of poverty. Her writing was often motivated by this need. 
     
    Much of her later life was spent in Paris before returning to London in 1937, where she died, in hospital, on 5th September 1937.
