No ownership inscription.xviii, 206 pages clean and tight. `My political life is over, and I proclaim my son Emperor of the French under the title of Napoleon II.' It was not to be. Napoleon's hopes, expressed in a declaration to the French people after his defeat at Waterloo, were to be dashed by his enemies. On 13 July 1815, a few weeks after the great battle, Napoleon dictated his famous letter to the Prince Regent from a French frigate lying off Rochefort. Carefully avoiding any hint of surrender, still less any acceptance of responsibility for the defeat of France, he said he came `like Themistocles to throw myself upon the hospitality of the British people - I put myself under the protection of their laws, which I claim from Your Royal Highness, as the most powerful, the most constant and the most generous of my enemies'. Napoleon's idea of living peacefully in the English countryside could never have been anything but laughable. The island of St Helena, his ultimate destination to which the Royal Navy conveyed him, was a desolate and unappealing place. The respect accorded him by the officers and men of the navy revealed, however, his sure touch with fighting men, and the magnetism he still exerted on his fellow beings even after his defeat. Once arrived at his `prison' Longwood, Napoleon came under the command and supervision of its Governor Sir Hudson Lowe. What really happened in there? Was the fallen Emperor well or badly treated - perhaps even poisoned? Speculation has been rife for many years. Lowe has been reviled by some historians, but looking afresh at a great deal of the evidence, Frank Giles portrays him, unattractive though he was in many ways, in a more favourable light. This fascinating book will spark off renewed controversy about Napoleon's life in St Helena from 1816 to his death in 1821, and about British reactions both at the time and later, to Bonaparte's captivity. Was he a martyr or a menace, should he have been treated differently or did he richly deserve to be put out of harm's way? And why did Queen Victoria, only 40 years after Waterloo, pay a personal tribute to the Emperor's mortal remains Size: 8vo.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. When Katy Simmons packed all three of her daughters off to their grandmother's house for a few days during their school summer holidays in order to get some work done in peace and quiet, she expected to talk to them on the phone, she knew that her eldest would send her a text now and again, she was even thinking about getting granny to set up Skype - but she never expected them each to send her a letter. She realised that Granny was responsible. Letters are such old-fashioned things, after all .or are they? Talking to her friends, she soon realised that writing to Mum wasn't such a rare occurrence for other kids who were away from home. Some were encouraged to do so at school and others even liked to leave notes around the house for their mothers to find. Of course, when embarking on the huge task of writing a letter, you don't waste too much time on trivia. Letters are for important stuff - and it's what the children who wrote the letters that are featured in this book found important that make them so fascinating to read.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Who is Harry Redknapp? Football genius or football chancer? Master tactician or practical joker? How is it that even when he was facing court proceedings for tax evasion so many people were still seriously tipping him to be the next England manager? How can one man have two such diametrically opposed and incompatible career trajectories? Does the longing to have an English manager in charge of the national side warp people's thinking?' To Portsmouth fans, Redknapp was the man who walked on water and won them an FA Cup. To Southampton fans, he is still the devil incarnate who had them relegated before jumping ship to their arch rivals. Spurs fans aren't sure what he is, bit don't care as long as he keeps the team together and winning. Sometimes he's the Messiah, at others the clown. Whoever he is, Crace is determined to find out. Seeks to find out who the real Harry Redknapp is. To Portsmouth fans, Redknapp was the man who walked on water and won them an FA Cup. To Southampton fans, he is still the devil incarnate who had them relegated before jumping ship to their arch rivals. Now he's at troubled QPR, tasked with saving them from Premiership relegation, having been snubbed by the FA for the England job. This new biography of the gifted but enigmatic football manager sniffs out the truth. *Also appeared in October Buyer's Notes* Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As a young woman, Mavis Gaunt leaves post-war London to make a new life for herself in rural Devon, where she spent a few blissful months of her childhood as an evacuee. Living alone in the verdant hamlet of Shipleigh, she believes she's found a heaven on earth - until a violent tragedy brings trouble to paradise, and turns Mavis's idyllic solitude into a tormented, guarded isolation. Decades later, the arrival of a newcomer to the village forces Mavis to make a final reckoning: should she take her horrible secret to the grave? Or, should she summon up her ghosts and, in doing so, lay them to rest? An Inventory of Heaven is a lyrical and intimate meditation on the rural life, falling in love and the long passing of time.
