John Lithgow
The next book in John Lithgow's New York Times bestselling seriesFollowing the success of New York Times bestsellers Dumpty and Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown, award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents the third book in his runaway hit series. A Confederacy of Dumptys takes us through a history of twenty-five "American Scoundrels" in this all-new collection of Lithgow's satirical poems and illustrations.While the Trump Era was rife with corruption and abuse of power, it was nothing new. Through Lithgow's cutting humor, you will read about a rogues' gallery of villains that came before Donald J. Trump, powerful men and women who were corrupt, venal, criminal, adulterous, racist, or just plain disgusting. With dark and lyrical stories from across American history, you will learn about long-forgotten figures and bad actors of today, including the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, the perpetrator of 19th century women's pyramid schemes, and participants in both the Watergate scandal and the Capitol insurrection. Trump and Nixon show up, of course, but also Leona Helmsley, Boss Tweed, Typhoid Mary, Newt Gingrich, Ted Cruz, and many more. Skipping through time, and delivered with classic Lithgow wit and style, A Confederacy of Dumptys is an exuberant reminder of how not to repeat history.Digital audio edition read by the author.The perfect book for:• Political satire fans—viewers of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.• American history buffs and trivia enthusiasts—readers of Jon's Stewart's America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction and Josh Clark's Stuff You Should Know: An Incomplete Compendium of Mostly Interesting Things.• Poetry, art, and illustration aficionados.

Five Characters in Search of a...
Mike Alfreds
Five insomniacs try to make it through the night. From dusk to dawn, they struggle with a crisis in their lives which they must resolve by morning. Increasingly conscious of their shortening futures and lengthening pasts, they fill their nights with distracting activities, desperate sleep techniques, evaluations of their lives, delusions, fears, panics and utter foolishness as they prepare to face the day. Five Characters in Search of a Good Night's Sleep was first performed by ViSiBLE Theatre Ensemble at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2022, in a production directed by Mike Alfreds. It was devised and written by Mike Alfreds with Sonja Linden and members of the company. ViSiBLE is a theatre company dedicated to creating performance work that throws fresh perspectives on later life and living longer. A key aspect of its identity is creating work collaboratively, drawing on the creativity and talent of Britain's huge wealth of experienced older actors. 'A masterclass in monologue… an interesting piece of theatre that encourages you to consider the torment of insomnia' - Upper Circle 'The writing is beautifully candid… it's refreshing to see older characters portrayed in a multi-faceted way that explores existentialism and humanity rather than stereotyping and defining them by their age' - North West End UK 'A great example of storytelling, with five sound monologues' - London Theatre Reviews

St David's Day - A Holiday in Verse
Alun Lewis, Dafydd ap Gwilym, W....
It comes as no surprise to the average Welsh person that their culture continues to thrive despite centuries of seeming servitude to the English. Wales, exemplified by the symbol of the Welsh dragon, is a small proud nation of many talents, large imaginations and even bigger hearts. Saint David's Day, or the Feast of Saint David falls on the 1st March each year on the anniversary of his death in 589 AD. The feast has been regularly celebrated since his canonisation in the 12th century. Traditional festivities include wearing the symbols of Wales and St David; daffodils and leeks, eating the National dish of cawl, a thick heartwarming soup, as well as the classic Welsh rarebit, and parades throughout the day featuring the traditional dress. The pride in its culture and history is keenly felt and in this volume the poets of Wales through the ages bring verse that fortifies and uplifts the soul of a nation and its much admired literary merits. 1 - St David's Day - A Holiday in Verse - An Introduction 2 - Grongar Hill by John Dyer 3 - Home, Fair Was The Morning Fair Our Tempers by Edward Thomas 4 - The Waterfall by Henry Vaughan 5 - Sweet Empty Sky of June by Henry Vaughan 6 - from Chepstow - A Poem - Tinturn Abbey by Edward Davies 7 - The Grey Steed by Gwerfyl Mechain 8 - The Fox by Robert Williams Parry 9 - On a Mountain Tumulus by Dafydd ap Gwilym 10 - Llyn Y Gadair by T H Parry-Williams 11 - Plynlimmon by Lewis Glyn Cothi 12 - The Kingfisher by W H Davies 13 - In May by William Henry Davies 14 - Cock Crow by Edward Thomas 15 - All Day It Has Rained by Alun Lewis 16 - from Education In Wales by Rowland Williams 17 - Here's the Life I’ve Sigh’d For Long by Iolo Goch 18 - The Depression by David Gwenalt-Jones 19 - The Wind's Lament by John Morris-Jones 20 - In Praise of Wales by Talhaiarn 21 - Praise of a Girl by Huw Morus 22 - A Fleeting Passion by William Henry Davies 23 - Song of the Worker's Wife by Alice Gray Jones 24 - from The Happy Farmer by Iolo Morganwg 25 - Miners by Wilfred Owen 26 - This Poor Man by William John Gruffydd 27 - Old Man by Edward Thomas 28 - Wondrous Sight For Men by Ann Griffiths 29 - Has Your Soul Sipped by Wilfred Owen 30 - Faith by George Herbert 31 - Apologia Pro Poemate Meo by Wilfred Owen 32 - Exposure by Wilfred Owen 33 - War by Hedd Wyn 34 - There's An Open Door by Ann Griffiths 35 - The Immovable Covenant by Hugh Derfel 36 - The Black Spot by Hedd Wyn 37 - Expecting The Lord by Ann Griffiths 38 - Church Monuments by George Herbert 39 - A Flower Sunday Lullaby by Eiffion Wynn 40 - Virtue by George Herbert 41 - Hymn XLI by William Williams Pantycelyn 42 - Song to Mead by Taliesin 43 - The Owl Disturbs the Bard's Sleep by Dafydd ap Gwilym 44 - The Perishing World.
