Summary

The first in a series of four titles based on the seasons, nature and folklore, The Lightbringers is a story of hope centring on the notion that the light will always return, even in the darkest of days. 

The midwinter solstice provides the focal point for a journey by the little creatures as they seek to return light to earth, but it is a journey that evokes the traditions of the Mari Lwyd walking the villages of Wales and Wassail songs being sung in the orchards. Made up of two key parts, this book contains the story of The Lightbringers and a brief introduction to the myth and legend surrounding the season and festivals of midwinter. Suitable for readers of all ages.
Available since: 10/10/2020.

    Based on the historical record of Bessie’s ‘confession’ to witchcraft in sixteenth-century Scotland, the episodic structure of the play shows the many characters and events that supposedly made up the catalogue of her crimes, but which in fact testify to her innocence and goodness. Bessie Dunlop, the Witch o Dalry introduces students to different levels and varieties of Scots and English and contains teaching notes, suggestions for classroom activities, and questions for discussion or writing. The original version of Bessie Dunlop, the Witch o Dalry was written by John Hodgart and Martin Clarke in 1977. Hodgart rewrote the play for an EIS Drama competition before revising it again for Hodder and Staunton who published it as a school text in 1995. This 2021 shorter edition is the fourth version of the play.

    William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present ARGO Classics, a historic catalogue of classic prose and verse read by some of the world’s most renowned voices. Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly remastered stories are now available to download for the first time. 
‘No, no, I am but shadow of myself: 
You are deceived, my substance is not here.’ 
Henry VI Part I is part of Shakespeare’s trilogy centred on the Wars of the Roses. 
After Henry V's death and while Henry VI is young, nobles rule England and fight the French, including Joan of Arc. As Henry VI becomes King, the noble houses begin to divide and take sides between York and Lancaster. The war with France winds down, and the nobles try to find Henry a wife and disagree about who Henry chooses. 
All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself. The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations. 
Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production. 
The full cast includes: Richard Marquand; David King; Carleton Hobbs; Terrence Hardiman; Denis McCarthy; Roger Croucher; Peter Orr; Frank Duncan; John Tydeman; Gary Watson; William Devlin; Gordon Gardner; Cyril Luckham; John Nettleton; John Shrapnel; Raymond Clark; Brian Batchelor; David Rowe-Beddoe; Anthony Arlidge; Bob Jones; Patrick Garland; Clinton Baddele; John Hopkins; John Tracy-Phillips; David Buck; John Bartom; Ronald Grey; Mary Morris; Yvonne Bonnamy; Freda Dowie. 
The top performing cast of Henry VI, Pt.1 delivers a riveting performance, making it one of the best European theatre productions. Shakespeare's storytelling shines through, captivating audiences with its intricate plot and timeless themes. 
For fans of Richard Parsons (GCSE English Shakespeare Text Guide), and Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy).

    A Dangerous Poet for Dangerous Times! 
(Author's narration) 
Hailed as "an exemplar of epic poetry" (San Francisco Review of Books), Abdiel LeRoy recalls the spirit of Homer, the visions of Milton, the fire of Dante.… 
1. Elijah 
Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath... 
  
But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven. 
Occasionally raunchy, but always reverent, this book is a revelation in poetic and prophetic fire. 
“Fun, interesting, and entertaining, with elements of a heroic quest, pure fantasy, and sexy romance.” 
Karen Siddall 
2. Jezebel's Lament 
Jezebel. Yes, that Jezebel. The queen whose name for millennia has stood for female wickedness. Killer of innocents. Seducer of priests. And the Old Testament's greatest supervillain…. 
Or so our Bible writers would have you believe! In this channeled message, part royal rant, part saucy confession, Jezebel tries to set the record straight. 
3. Obama's Dream 
Like another Elijah, LeRoy tears down the façade of empire in this epic poem sent to the White House in 2015, taking the president on a Scrooge-like journey through time and space and otherworldly encounter, even to the throne of God! 
Yet this verse novel is woven with comedic scenes throughout, testifying to the wit of a master storyteller. 
"A new realm of reading."
