  King Arthur - His Life...

  King Arthur, a legendary figure rooted in medieval history and romance, is often depicted as the British leader who defended Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. However, the story of King Arthur is primarily a blend of Welsh and English mythology with elements of literary invention. Most modern historians agree that Arthur is more of a mythical construct than a historical figure. Early sources such as the Annales Cambriae, the Historia Brittonum, and the works of the monk Gildas provide glimpses into Arthur's supposed historical context. Additionally, references to Arthur appear in early poetic works like Y Gododdin, though these allusions remain ambiguous and open to interpretation. 
  Arthur’s significance as a cultural and legendary figure solidified in the corpus of stories known as the "Matter of Britain." Geoffrey of Monmouth’s 12th-century Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) was instrumental in elevating Arthur to international fame. Geoffrey’s imaginative narrative portrayed Arthur as a heroic warrior who defended Britain from both human and supernatural foes. Earlier Welsh and Breton tales, predating Geoffrey’s work, often described Arthur as a semi-magical figure associated with the Welsh otherworld, Annwn. However, the extent to which Geoffrey relied on earlier sources versus his own creativity remains unclear.

  Born in Chains - The Diary of an...

  Just like in the squatter camp in Atteridgeville, there was no electricity in our new home. But here it was very different: it was safe. Only years later I figured out why the crime rate was so low in our village: there was nothing to steal. 
    
  Born in Chains is a first-hand account of living in abject poverty in South Africa. Clinton Chauke was born in 1994 into a Vatsonga household and has faced all the challenges of growing up at the edges of society: first in rural Limpopo, then in a village bordering the Kruger National Park, and finally in a squatter camp near Pretoria. 
    
  Navigating a world of racism and tribalism and confronting urban life as a country ‘bumpkin’, the author depicts the lifelines and pitfalls of a young life: going to school, coming to terms with tradition, religion and politics, becoming a man and – ultimately – finding his identity as a young black person in South Africa. 
    
  Uncompromising, honest and witty, Chauke’s memoir is a story of hope and perseverance and of succeeding against all the odds.

  A personal meditation on love in the shadow of white privilege and racism 
   
   
   
  Child is the story of Judy Goldman's relationship with Mattie Culp, the Black woman who worked for her family as a live-in maid and helped raise her—the unconscionable scaffolding on which the relationship was built and the deep love. It is also the story of Mattie's child, who was left behind to be raised by someone else. Judy, now eighty, cross-examines what it was to be a privileged white child in the Jim Crow South, how a bond can evolve in and out of step with a changing world, and whether we can ever tell the whole truth, even to ourselves. It is an incandescent book of small moments, heart-warming, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.

  Wilfrid Brambell was one of Britain’s most loved and complex character actors. As Albert Ladysmith Steptoe, the unscrupulous rag-and-bone man with questionable habits in Ray Galton and Alan Simpson’s long-running Steptoe & Son, he quickly became a household name with co-star Harry H. Corbett. But despite scores of other successes in roles on stage, TV and film, Brambell died a sad and lonely man. 
   
  Alongside fame and fortune, ‘You Dirty Old Man!’ reveals how Brambell suffered unbelievable personal heartache, battling an inner turmoil that eventually drove him to drink as his marriage collapsed in the most deceitful circumstances imaginable. His torment led to a secretive life off camera where he did everything possible to stay out of the public eye. 
   
  Featuring original interviews with film directors Richard Lester, Terence Davies and Tony Palmer, as well as recollections from his own family members, the family of Harry H. Corbett and those who worked alongside him, author David Clayton seeks to re-examine the legacy of a man whose loyal fanbase remains undiminished sixty years on from his heyday.
