Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition By This Publisher.. 189 pages. "Miranda planned her suicide as an escape from her now empty life and the guilt she felt for her little daughter's death, a guilt which no coroner could remove. Longing for oblivion, she spooned the bitter-tasting drug, but was interrupted by the sound of tyres screeching on the clifftop road, followed by the frightened scream of a child. With burning memories of Sally's death she could not resist the call for action. Soon Miranada found herself enmeshed in the struggle between a man and his wife for possession of their child - the boy whose cry she had heard when the kidnapper sprung his trap. She was drawn to Michael Sheridan by his uncanny resemblence to her dead husband. Her new love was sweet, but she feared Michael's barel-contained violence and his determination to regain his son at any cost." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Painted Cover Art! (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: New. The 'Our Encounters with - ' series collect together unnmediated, unsanitised narratives by service-users, past service-users and carers. These stories of direct experience will be of great benefit to those interested in narrative enquiry, and to those studying and practising in the field of mental health. The collection bring together a range of voices on the theme of suicide - those who have been suicidal, along side the friends, family and staff who have lived and worked with them. Too often the rhetoric of 'suicidology' is occupied only by those who have never had personal experience of suicidality. The first-person voice is strangely absent. These frank accounts go some way to correcting the balance. We hope that these narratives will be helpful for people who may have had similar encounters, or are harbouring future suicidal intentions, and for those who care for them personally or professionally; that readers can use the stories in the book to make better sense of their own experiences and decisions.Ultimately we hope that the book will facilitate a more empathic understanding of the experiences of others generally, and of people who were close to and have been lost to suicide.…

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. [British Empire - Australia and India] Archive of 24 letters, 1881-1883 (almost 80 manuscript pages), from the butler family, the first English settlers of South Australia in 1836. All are addressed to Henry Richard (Dick) Butler. 22 are by his brother Charles Philip Roe Butler and two letters are by his sister, Millicent Lecette Butler. Letters only, no covers. Most have stab holes. All creased at folds, two are quite delicate and have separations. Otherwise, the letters are generally in very good condition. See images. Charles Philip Roe Butler (1857-1883) was the eldest son of Philip Butler (1816-1898), one of the first settlers to arrive in South Australia in 1836 and by the mid nineteenth century, one of the wealthiest Australians. C.P.R.B. was born in Australia and was the first cousin of Sir Richard Butler (1850-1925), Australian politician and Premier of South Australia. His maternal grandfather was John Septimus Roe (1797-1878), politician, explorer, naval officer during the Napoleonic wars, a participant in the Pinjarra massacre and the first Surveyor-General of Western Australia. His second cousin, Richard Layton Butler (1885-1966) was twice Premier of South Australia. The letters are mostly sent from home in London or from the country estate, Tickford Abby. One is from India, Baithakhal Basti, another aboard ship returning home and one from Holland. C.P.R.B. died shortly after his return from India. His sister, Millicent describes in great detail the brief, but violent illness that killed Charles and a second letter by her describes his funeral. Charles died Tuesday morning, September 11, 1883, at home at Tickford Abby. He was 26 years old. It appears that his relationship with his father was formal, he refers to him as 'the governor' and he didn't seem too fond of the Chesshyre family, whom his father had married into after the death of his first wife. But Charles loved his half-siblings very much, especially his twin younger sisters. Charles Philip Roe Butler mentions lawn tennis, cricket, fishing, hunting, riding, the Royal Ascot, the stock market, dances and parties and lots of girls. Charlie, as his sister calls him, was a Cambridge educated man who enjoyed the theatre, oysters and Chablis. At age 25, at the behest of his father, C.P.R.B. was sent to India to work for Finlay, Muir & Co., a tea consortium based in Calcutta. While there, his best friend, Bill Winston committed suicide by shooting himself (Bill is mentioned in a number of letters). He complains about lost letters, saying "our postmaster, a damned Babu of course, is a thorough scoundrel." He uses Indo-Persian words such as shikar (hunting) when he hopes to hunt large deer or a tiger. He describes major floods in the summer of 1883 in India, "villages swept away & a famine set in". He sold his faithful dog when he left England for India and left his two "splendid" fox terriers in India upon his return home on the Ship Vega, Star Line via the Suez Canal. He tells his brother; he plans to return to Australia and will stop in America to see him if possible (Dick was apparently in Hallifax at that time. He also spent time in Bermuda and other places) and tells him that he was up to his old tricks on the ship back from India "had criminal intercourse with the only lady passenger, a lovely young widow". He asks his brother about his sex life, "Your women? I suppose one bangs negroes, if they were only like our coolies you would have been in like a knife long ago." Also, the excitement over the Phoenix Park Murders, blaming Charles Stewart Parnell, yet another, mentions the Anglo-Egyptian War and the might of the British Army. It appears that C.P.R.B. was in a military regiment for a time, as was his brother Dick, who died in Palmer Lake Colorado in 1914. A wonderful intimate collection of letters.…
