  A Gentleman Player - His...

  An actor of the Chamberlain's Men is sent north on a secret errand for Elizabeth's council, pursued by a knight who wants the same commission and a woman who knows more than either. Robert Neilson Stephens wrote historical romances with a stage sense — he had been a playwright — and the sword-play here reads as it would be blocked. Shakespeare appears briefly and is not made a fool of. Fifty-seven plates by painters including William Hogarth and J. M. W. Turner carry the book's theatrical world across two centuries of British art.

  Step into the untamed American frontier of the nineteenth century with this classic adventure tale by prolific British author W. H. G. Kingston. Narrated by young Loraine, the son of an Irish-born settler who has carved out a farm on the banks of the Ohio River in Illinois, With Axe and Rifle sweeps listeners across the vast prairies, dense forests, and winding rivers of the early American West. 
  When family ties lead the Loraines on a journey through Kentucky to visit an ailing uncle, the adventure truly begins. Along the way they encounter rough frontier life in all its rawness — corduroy roads, wilderness crossings, towering forests, and a cast of memorable characters from resourceful frontiersmen to a mysterious uncle who vanished westward with nothing but a rifle on his shoulder and an axe at his belt. 
  Kingston brings the pioneer spirit vividly to life, exploring the bonds of family and courage forged in the face of the wilderness, encounters with the natural world in all its splendor and danger, and the grit required to build a home on the edge of civilization. Written with the energy and moral clarity that made Kingston one of the most beloved adventure writers of the Victorian era, this tale is as gripping today as when it first appeared. 
  A timeless story of survival, resilience, and the restless human spirit — perfect for fans of frontier adventure and classic American historical fiction. This audiobook brings Kingston's vivid world to life for a new generation of listeners.

  Pink Flannel - From their pens...

  Ford Madox Ford

  Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Hermann Hueffer on 17th December 1873 in Wimbledon, London, England.    
  Today he is best known for one book, ‘The Good Soldier’, which is regularly held to be one of the 100 greatest novels of all time.  But, rather unfairly, the breadth of his career has been overshadowed.  He wrote novels as well as essays, poetry, memoirs and literary criticism. Today he is well-regarded but known only for a few works rather than the grand arc of his career. 
  Ford collaborated with Joseph Conrad on three novels but would later complain that, as with all his collaborators, and those he so readily championed, his contribution was overshadowed by theirs.  
  He founded The English Review and The Transatlantic Review which were instrumental in publishing and promoting the works of so many authors and movements. 
  During WWI he initially worked on propaganda books before enlisting. Ford was invalided back to Britain in 1917, remaining in the army and giving lectures until the War’s end. After a spell recuperating in the Sussex countryside he lived mostly in France during the 1920s.  
  He published the series of four novels known as Parade’s End, between 1924 and 1928. These were particularly well-received in America, where Ford spent much of his time from the later 1920s to his death in 1939. 
  His last years were spent teaching at Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan. 
  His poetry is an excellent example of his talents.  His evocation of the horrors of War are outstanding examples of the time and have become greatly admired.  
  Ford Madox Ford died on 26th June 1939 at Deauville, France at the age of 65.

  The Wonderful Year - A Young...

  Martin Overshaw, a young Englishman who has come to Paris in August with no notion what to do with his life, dines with an old friend, Corinna Hastings, who is just as adrift — and the evening sets off the most unexpected year either of them has known. William Locke wrote sentimental comedies that sold enormously; this one, published in 1916, takes its people out of the Latin Quarter into provincial France and on into the war, with a hard little argument inside it about what a settled life costs. Fifty-eight plates, among them Corot and Delacroix, follow the roads, letters and dispatches of the France Overshaw crosses.
