Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A roll-call and history of the ex-students of Brighton College who fell in the Second World War. Eighty years on from the beginning of the Second World War it is easy to forget that, for a time, democracy, the rule of law and even everyday values of tolerance and kindness were in danger of being snuffed out in Europe. Given the sacrifices made, we must not forget the people who fought to protect these virtues - particularly those who laid down their lives for this cause. To this end, all Fourth Form pupils at Brighton College have researched an individual Old Brightonian who died in, or as a result of, the war. The list includes former masters, pupils and one German old boy who was doubtless a good man, but fighting for a bad cause. What emerges in this book, a companion to a volume on the fallen of the Great War already published, is a collection of extremely varied personal histories. Where possible, this book recalls the family lives of each man in addition to his war service. The quality of research has been high, and pupils have also excelled at storytelling: finding the excitement and humour in each life, as well as the poignancy. The 170 fallen Old Brightonians of the Second World War, nurtured by the College but cut off in their prime, have been honoured by the current crop of Brightonians, several generations below them.

With an introduction by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, I Am With You is a reflective and thought-provoking guide to the solemn season of Lent.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Revenger's Tragedy (1607) shows a brilliant court culture against a sombre background; although fashionably Italianate in appearance, the play is concerned with substantial issues in the Britain of King James I. The new king's court became notorious for luxuriousness, spectacular masques and torchlight revels; and poets and playwrights attacked the rumoured sexual and political corruption in high places. By 1607 revenge tragedy had already developed as a hybrid form incorporating complex intrigue plots and elements of farce, including, as here, elements of horror. The hero Vindice is eloquent and engagingly witty; but as a poet he sees the skull beneath the skin, and as a revenger he carries out some of the cruellest killings in all English Renaissance tragedy. As the introduction demonstrates, the play proves highly successful in present-day performance, both professional and amateur, and in a variety of period settings.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Genius', 'master', 'pre-eminent' - these are the terms used by experts to describes Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, the eighteenth century landscape designer who wrought a garden revolution in England. A nation-wide reaction to the existing geometric gardens of the French school brought various experiments in change. On an enormous scsale Brown transformed the English countryside with the gentle serenity of his 'picturesque landscapes' and persuaded much of Europe, also, to imitate his parklands. It is said that the landscape garden has proved a unique English art form and Lancelot Brown an extraordinary exponent. The tale of the garen boy who rose to fame, riches and friendship of the king is remarkable in itself. And, in this conservation-conscious age, his emphasis on 'natural' gardens, his tree-planting and 'improvement' of well over a hundred properties must surely strike a sympathetic cord.
