No bumping or foxing. A very revealing read. ## ~#~ In 1964, two new and unexpected heirs to party leadership confronted each other for the leadership of the country. The inside story of their battle for power which, resulted in a hair's-breadth victory for Harold Wilson?told with verve, depth and behind-the-scenes knowledge by two of Britain's leading journalists. The story opens almost two years before the election with an account of what happened behind closed doors in the two main parties as each faced a crisis from within. The 'Stop Wilson' movement which, followed the death of Gaitskell, is the first battle fought and won by the Prime Minister. Almost on its heels comes intensive manoeuvring for power in the Conservative Party that resulted in the fourteenth Earl of Home being summoned to the Palace. The narrative weaves together the events and personalities of one of the most suspenseful British political history campaigns. It shows how Mr Wilson and Sir Alec Douglas Home conducted themselves both in public and private; how the uproar over Hardy Spicer, the ranting of Quintin Hogg and the Smethwick affair swung the fortunes of the campaign.

It's almost forty years after the events of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island: Jim Hawkins now runs an inn called the Hispaniola on the English coast with his son, Jim, and Long John Silver has returned to England to live in obscurity with his daughter, Natty. Their lives are quiet and unremarkable; their adventures have seemingly ended. But for Jim and Natty, the adventure is just beginning. One night, Natty approaches young Jim with a proposition: return to Treasure Island and find the remaining treasure that their fathers left behind so many years before. As Jim and Natty set sail in their fathers' footsteps, they quickly learn that this journey will not be easy. Immediately, they come up against murderous pirates, long-held grudges, and greed and deception lurking in every corner. And when they arrive on Treasure Island, they find terrible scenes awaiting them?difficulties which require all their wit as well as their courage. Nor does the adventure end there, since they have to sail homeward again. Andrew Motion's sequel?rollicking, heartfelt, and utterly brilliant?would make Robert Louis Stevenson proud.

His bohemian years as a writer in Chelsea before the First World War closed with the agony of his prosecution for Libel by Lord Alfred Douglas. His two marriages - first to an unstable fantasist and later to a formidable Russian who had been Trotsky's secretary - were, to say the least, stormy. As a journalist he had a ringside view of the Russian Revolution and travelled widely in the Middle East and China. It was not until he was 45 and settled in the Lake District that he embarked, in the Swallows and Amazons stories, on some of the best loved books ever written for children.
