Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This early work by Philip K. Dick was originally published in 1955 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Unreconstructed M' is a short story about a murder and faked evidence. Philip Kindred Dick was born on December 16 1928, in Chicago, Illinois. Dick and his family moved to the Bay Area of San Francisco when he was young, and later on to Washington DC following his parents divorce. Dick attended Elementary school and then a Quaker school before the family moved back to California. It was around this time that Dick began to take an active interest in the science fiction genre, reading his first magazine 'Stirring Science Stories', at age twelve. Dick married five times between 1959 and 1973, and had three children. He sold his first story in 1951 and from that point on he wrote full-time, selling his first novel in 1955. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote an estimated 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote an estimated 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime.After his death, many of his stories made the transition to the big screen, with blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report being based on his works.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A wonderful little collection of short stories told in the form of fictional letters by famous English author Jane Austen. Although written when she was just 14 years old for the enjoyment of family and friends, her witty dialogue and characteristic sense of humour are very much there. "A Collection of Letters" is one of Austen's earliest works (it includes her original spelling quirks) and is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed her works. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) was an English author known primarily for her novels, which critique the 18th century English upper classes and contemporary novels of sensibility. Her use of irony coupled with biting social commentary and realism have led to her wide acclaim amongst scholars and critics, her work contributing to the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Other notable works by this author include: "Sense and Sensibility" (1811), "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), and "Mansfield Park" (1814). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. First published in 1895, this volume contains a series of arguments against the idea that the world is round. The belief that the Earth is flat and not a globe existed in many ancient civilisations, but we now know that this is not true. However, even today there are those who believe in a flat earth, just as there was when ideas of a spherical earth were relatively new. Within this book, the author explains why these new ideas of the planet as a globe are absurd, with interesting examples and explanations as to precisely why. Highly recommended for those with an interest in Flat Earth theory and the history of astronomy. Contents include: "Ships 'Going Down!'", "How Much Loner Will it Be?", "Absurd Theory!", "No Proof to be Had", "When the Man Has Time!", "Earth A Globe", "The Scientific Wager of 1870", "Our Opponents Ways and Means", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Paperback. Condition: new. Crane, Walter (illustrator). Paperback. 'The Baby's Opera - A Book of Old Rhymes with New Dresses' was originally published in 1877. It contains the music for many English nursery songs, and is one of Crane's best known 'toy books'. The work is accompanied throughout by a series of dazzling colour illustrations - by Walter Crane himself. Walter Crane (1845 - 1915), was an English artist and book illustrator. He is considered to be the most influential, and among the most prolific, children's book creator of his generation. Alongside such names as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, he was also one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery theme. Crane's work is characteristically colourful and beautifully detailed, taking its inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement (of which he was a member), as well as the iconic child-in-the-garden motif. The artwork and the text of 'Baby's Opera: Old Rhymes and New Dresses' are presented side-by-side, so that the two may be better appreciated. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's classics and fairy tales - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old. Walter Crane (1845-1915) was one of the earliest contributors to children's literature and one of the most influential illustrators in the development of children's colour picture books. Crane began working for Edmund Evans in 1864 producing bright, colourful children's books which revolutionised the type of children's books available. This book, 'The Baby's Opera, A Book Of Old Rhymes In New Dresses' was originally published in 1877. It contains the music for many English nursery songs and Cranes beautiful illustrations make it one of his best known books. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This volume contains Charles V. Stanford's "Four Irish Dances", a collection of musical compositions for piano arranged by Percy Grainger. George Percy Aldridge Grainger (1882 - 1961) was an Australian-born composer, arranger and pianist. His experimental and unusual work was pivotal to the revival of British folk music during the first part of the 20th century. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in traditional Irish folk music, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Stanford's seminal work. Contents include: "A March - Jig (Maguire's Kick)", "A Slow Dance", "The Leprechaun's Dance", and "A Reel". Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924) was an Irish composer, conductor, and teacher of music. He was educated at the University of Cambridge and continued his studies in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a very influential composer, responsible for making Cambridge University Musical Society an internationally-acclaimed organisation. Stanford was also a profuse composer, producing a large corpus of work in many genres; however, he is perhaps best remembered for his Anglican choral works for church performance. His music eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of his former pupils in the 20th century. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of musical notation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
