Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. The Barbirollis. A Musical Marriage. The marriage of John Barbirolli to oboist Evelyn Rothwell in 1939 presaged not only a warm and steadfat relationship but also a truly magical partnership. Born into totally different backgrounds - John from a musical family. Evelyn coming to the oboe almost by accident - they became a much loved and respected couple throughout the world of music. John was to become one of the greatest conductors of the twentieth century, while Evelyn is recognized not only as a famous oboe player but as author of valuable standard works on her instrument. In this book, we see John as a serious young cellist. Evelyn as a schoolgirl: we share John's glorious re-creation of the Halle orchestra and follow their triumohs in the concert hall, at home and abroad. Drawing on personal observation, meticulous research and interviews with many of Sir John and Evelyn's friends and professional colleagues, this is a warm and intimate account of a remarkable couple - and two remarkable careers.

Aided by her handyman and her housekeeper, egged on by her children, Barbara was sfitly initiated in the mysteries of farming, and soon intimately acquainted with brown leghorns, Rhode Island reds and, dare we say, sex-linked pullets. In this journal of the farm's first year, Barbara records her delights and disappointments: the difficulty of transporting pigs in the back of a 1933 Ford Eight; how Juklia, the farm's glamour-girl Jesey cow, sparked rumour of an invasion when she escaped in the black-out and was finally captured by the Home Guard; how the friends who arrived expecting high tea found themselves harvesting hay, and how Barbara dealt with the ducks that refused to leave the kitchen and the geese with a taste for herbaceous borders. This book is a unique insight into the dramatic changes in one woman's life during wartime, written with great humour, optimism and plentt of practical advice.

Decorative Boards. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Jim Davidson's True Brit. Europe will shortly be one. One what, nobody knows.though comedian Jim Davidson has a fair idea. And in this outrageously funny look at our European neighbours he turns a sharp eye (and tongue!) on the foibles and failings of our all-too-common market partners. Here is the essential survival guide for that threatened species the True Brit, that heroic figure who has graced many a foreign field, that mythical warrior figure of history - archer at Agincourt, marine commando at Arnhem, legless at Club 18-30. This book is a patriotic tongue-in-cheek contribution to the entente cordiale - and we may never see its like again.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Elvis. The Hollywood Years. Slight foxing to edge. Tear to edge of D/J. In this first complete account of Elvis Presley's celluloid career, the author considers the 33 films, TV appearance, biopics, retrospectives and documentaries that remain as testimony to the compelling and mysterious persona of The King. The author traces the development of Presley's film career and recounts the on-set cat fights with co-stars and studio personnel. He unearths the truth about the powerful hold exercised over Elvis by 'Colonel' Tom Parker, which revolved around Parker preventing a leak about Presely's relationship with another man from going public and then using this knowledge as a persistent threat to ensure his protege's loyalty. The author explores and hotly disputes the controversial allegations, levelled by Presely's step-family, that he had sex with his mother, raped by his wife, held debauched, drug-fuelled parties with groupies and eventually committed suicide. Above all, the author praises the nature and talent of the man who was - and still is - the supreme authority on rock'n'roll and romance. This sincere tribute to one of thje greatest male entertainers the world has known is a book that no Elvis fan should be without.

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Uk Edition. Hardback. Great Harry. Previous owners ex-libris name sticker to inside cover. To his subjects he was Great Harry, the towering, athletic, handsome king who seemed to draw on superhuman enetgies in the tiltyard and on the battlefield. To his courtiers he was a man of remarkable charm and learning, yet with an unfailing air of kingly command. To posterity he has seemed a dark and inhuman tyrant who executed two of his wives and dozens of friends and relatives, among them the sainted Thomas More. Based on the voluminous records 0f the period, the story of Henry's life unfolds as he lived it - his troubled youth, overshadowed by fears of popular rebellion and sudden death, and later by murderous conflict with his fearsome father; his triumphant early reign, marked by military glory and a glittering court life; his turbulent middle years, with the scandal of his love affair with Anne Boleyn; and his agonising old age, tormented by illness and haunted by the ghosts of those he had sent to the block. Against the lively backdrop of the Tudor world with all its splendours and squalors, the author creates a moving portrait of Henry Vii, the king his contemporaries called 'the rarest man that lived in his time'.

When her great friend Noel Coward said of her: 'Beatrice Lillie is the world's greatest comedienne' he was talking for millions of people both in America and in Britain, fans and admirers that she had inspired with her wit and panache in a stage career that spanned some fifty years. Now in this definitive biography Bruce Laffey, her devoted friend for over thirty years, charts her life and career of this comic genius, from her early days singing in a church choir in Toronoto to her appearances as an international star at such venerable venues as Buckingham Palace. She will always be remembered as an inspiring and warm-hearted woman and, when her friend gathered to pay their final tribute to her, one was moved to say: 'Bea Lillie was one of the reasons we won the war'.
