  There are many myths about Margaret Thatcher's extraordinary personality and political career. But what was it really like to work with her? In The Real Iron Lady: Working with Margaret Thatcher, Gillian Shephard speaks to an eclectic and distinguished range of Mrs T.'s former colleagues; all offer a unique insight into what the Iron Lady was really like at close quarters. Among them are John Major, Geoffrey Howe, Douglas Hurd and other Cabinet colleagues, alongside an ambassador and senior civil servants. In addition, prominent Conservative Party members, distinguished journalists and a leading trade unionist add their views, as well as MPs, political advisers and Downing Street staff. A French perspective is even provided by Hubert Védrine, foreign minister to erstwhile President François Mitterrand. Gillian Shephard has laced this miscellany of recollections of the Iron Lady with her own sparkling wit and acerbic comments - resulting in a fascinating close-up portrait of Britain's first woman Prime Minister. Most importantly, it is a portrait painted by the people who were with her throughout the dramas of her political career: the Falklands conflict, the miners' strike, the Brighton Bomb outrage and, eventually, her downfall. The book, with its wealth of previously unpublished material, portrays Margaret Thatcher as a woman of contrasts: courageous, kind, ferocious, feminine - and so far, unsurpassed.

  Two very different women, the much married Mary Queen of Scots and the Virgin Queen of England had one fundamental thing in common, one thing that would change the course of history: each believed in her God given right to sit on the throne of England. The lives - and deaths - of these royal cousins were bound together in a tangled web of bloodlines, courtly intrigue and political manoeuvring. This dramatisation is based on historical documents, letters, reported speech and contemporaneous accounts. A vivid and compelling realisation of one of the most notorious events in history. This is the true account of the events leading to the execution of Mary Stuart. “It is a thrilling play about two women who are fighting for their lives” admits Kate, “It is a very potent and powerful story.” Joining film and television actress Kate O’Mara (who plays Mary Queen of Scots) is Patricia Shakesby as Elizabeth I. Patricia is best known for playing Polly Urquhart in Howard’s Way together with roles in Coronation Street, Sapphire and Steel and Brighton Rock. The audio also stars Giles Watling and Michael Cochrane.

  In 1992, a novel by university professor Robert James Waller was published to less than glowing reviews. Despite the critical reception, The Bridges of Madison County became a publishing phenomenon, spending two years on the New York Times bestseller list and selling more than 50 million copies. Decades before, Waller had met 18-year-old Jana St. James at an Indiana University coffeehouse. Their innocent friendship blossomed into love—             despite Waller's seven-year marriage. Years later, as St. James read the newly published book of her dear friend, it wasn't long before she experienced a shortness of breath and a relentless ache. Why were there so many similarities about her experiences with Waller in the novel—             were the memories still alive for him, too? In Memories of Madison County, Jana tells her side of the impossible love story—             from the innocent phases of friendship through gentle afternoons as lovers, and ultimately to the heart-wrenching yet inevitable end of their relationship.
