Mixed Blessings
Short Stories
AvJohn Seilern,Sam Carter
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
210 kr
Skickas
The reader of these stories will follow the author around the world. From Bangkok to Brixton, Capri to Cairo, Truro to Trinidad and Venice to the Vatican, they reflect his travels and mindset. Some have happy endings, many don’t; all shine a light on the human condition and its varied stimuli: generosity and greed; decency and deceit; love shared and love denied. “There could be no more apt title for this collection than Mixed Blessings. The world they describe is opulent: Gstaad, Mustique, Rome, Switzerland, Monte Carlo. But the people in these stories are not made happy by their vast wealth, their membership of private clubs, nor their rare collections of furniture or ancient books: there’s a scorpion’s sting in every tale. John Seilern has reimagined Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected for the White Lotus age. Just don’t expect the fast cars, beautiful women and opulence in these pages to bring anything other than bad fortune.” — Cressida Connolly, author of After the Party‘These are very enjoyable stories from international high life written with great panache.’ — James StourtonJohn Seilern’s outstanding short stories evoke Stefan Zweig in their human sympathy, with a tinge of Roald Dahl in their narrative twists. — Philip Hook, author of Breakfast at Sotheby’s
Remembrance Trust
Tributes to Valour

Foreword by HRH The Princess Royal Preface by Algy Cluff… some corner of a foreign field …How a nation treats its dead fighting men is a telling barometer. How were soldiers viewed by society? Were lower ranks thought deserving of having honour bestowed on their graves? Was death in battle or in the course of duty worthy of remembrance? Did those who died far from the mother country warrant commemoration – and who at home would ever know? The graves of the majority of those who have died for their country since August 1914 are the responsibility of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. But what of those who fell in previous conflicts – in the Seven Years War, the Revolutionary and French Wars, and the various wars of empire?The Remembrance Trust, founded by Algy Cluff in 2018, has begun to address the issue of caring for early military memorials.

Writer's Story
A Memoir
AvRachel Billington,Sam Carter

‘Fiction is a form of disguise, certainly. But, more important, it is a way of telling your own stories through other people's lives.’The author of more than thirty novels, published over fifty years, Rachel Billington is a natural storyteller. Now shifting the focus from her imagined characters to those who have been so vibrant and vital in her own life, Billington casts herself as protagonist in this honest memoir. Born in 1942, a war baby, fifth child of eight turbulent Pakenhams whose parents Frank and Elizabeth Longford left politics to become social reformer and biographer respectively, Billington was recorded by her mother as the ‘placid’ one. Stories of unexploded bombs, home-made cowboy films in which her role was to throw herself from her pony, merge into London convent, feisty nuns, smogs and friends, escape to an Irish island and an inherited Irish castle. Leaving a television job under a cloud, there come stories about her new life in New York, working on a documentary about drug addiction. After two years she meets her English film director husband, Kevin Billington, and the stories pass back to London, then Hollywood, New Orleans, London and Spain. Four children, the oldest continuously inhabited house in Dorset, and Billington’s adventures continue, taking her first into the writers’ organisation, PEN, eventually as President, and then into the dark world of British prisons, as she becomes Associate Editor and regular contributor to the national newspaper for prisons, Inside Time.A Writer’s Story is a collection of memories, told with wit and understanding, which not only reveals the inspiration behind many of Billington’s works of fiction but offers insight into the art and nature of writing.
Finding the Wayfarer
Physical, Spiritual and Poetic Survival
AvEmma Rose Barber,Sam Carter
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
212 kr
Skickas
East Anglian Book Awards: History and Tradition: Winner “Emma Rose Barber leads us on an elegant, intimate and always illuminating walk through the history, theology and poetry of wayfaring.” Rhidian Brook, author of The Aftermath & The Killing of Butterfly Joe. In the vein of Robert Macfarlane’s The Old Ways, a literary, artistic and spiritual journey through past and present. Throughout history, the figure of the wayfarer, and the notion of wayfaring, has seized the imagination. Through a series of walks, the author follows in the path of the medieval wayfarer to see how this captivating figure developed from being seen as an indigent nuisance, much maligned, to romantic muse for artists and writers. The book brings the wayfarer to life. And all up-to-date: to see how it is found in contemporary culture.Finding the Wayfarer is a captivating exploration of the age-old tradition of wayfaring – the simple, often solitary journey on foot. Through a blend of historical enquiry, evocative place writing and memoir, the book weaves together the stories of wayfarers across time. From the marginalized figures in medieval manuscripts, to the introspective writings of Charlotte Smith, Wordsworth and Hardy, the wayfarer has often been viewed with suspicion and fear. Yet, they have also inspired admiration, embodying melancholy and a deep connection to the natural world. Themes of illicit love and scorn through wayfaring are the themes of later writers and artists like Dickens, Samuel Beckett and Grayson Perry. The book is a rich tapestry of walking, resilience and survival, inviting readers to consider this enduring archetype.

To War with the Old Gent
The Story of the 1/8th Battalion, the Worcestershire Regiment in the First World War
AvNicholas Lambert,Sam Carter

Skickas
An extensively researched account of an exceptional battalion at war“Perhaps you can try and imagine being faced with the prospect, on a cold Sunday evening in November, of rising from your sleeping bag at two-thirty the following morning to lead your men through hedges and over fields in an attack down to a canal bank two miles away, leaping into the icy water and paddling across the length of a cricket pitch on a flattened jerrycan, and then sitting on the far bank in your soaking uniform to help your soldiers across with ropes. To do this when subject to continuous machine-gun fire but with the possibility that if you are successful and survive, you may never need to fight another battle."Many of us had a relation who served in the Great War, the majority of those men defending trench lines or attacking from them. They undertook wiring parties and raids on enemy trenches, but well over half their time was in reserve, in training and repairing trenches, tracks and roadways. They endured bitter cold, terrible rains, deep mud and moments of terror. Some suffered from trench foot or shell shock. They were ordinary men doing extraordinary things, all for their fellow soldiers, their country and their King.The ‘1/8th Worcesters’ rose to the challenges to become one of the most effective infantry battalions of the War. This is their story, written with the help of letters, diaries, memoirs and newspaper articles, as well as conversations with the surviving sons of two of the most bemedalled young officers.
Book of Hours

A modern re-imagining of A Book of Hours – a beautifully illustrated book that guides both old and young through the journey of life.The artist Susan Bacon has conceived of a new Book of Hours, inspired by the centuries-old tradition of these cherished prayer books. These jewel-like volumes, never two the same, presented the laity with a way to devotion – a Companion for Life.This book, with observations of the natural world, follows that historic legacy – marking one’s own time. It is not exclusively Christian, but rather suggests an awareness of the living world that we share together with the creatures who inhabit it. “A Book of Hours was a treasured personal devotional that created windows into heaven. In this contemporary version, Susie Bacon has collected favourite prayers and reflections to help us pay attention to the beauty of God’s creation. Through her illustrations, we notice, like Jesus, the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. In doing so, our hearts join nature’s song of praise and a window opens into the joyous creativity of God.” – The Rt Revd Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich
Patchwork Pieces
AvAntonia Fraser,Sam Carter

Skickas
A magical collection of vignettes from the pen of Antonia Fraser“When I was a teenager I had a passion for patchwork. I liked the patterns, but even more than that I liked the action of creating the patchwork. There was something about pulling A to pieces, in order to create B, which I found infinitely satisfying. In a sense, this book satisfies that Passion for Patchwork. There is no particular order to the various pieces, and yet I hope that all together they make up a colourful picture of the history that I love, have loved and will always love.”
