Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an in-depth study of Charles I's execution, questions long-held beliefs about the event. An analysis of recently examined primary source documents, including the warrant, reveals significant discrepancies and suggests that the course of events may have been quite different from the accepted historical narrative. An exploration of broader motivations for the king's death and the influence of religious and political tensions on the decisions of those involved weaves a complex and deeply researched narrative. The author delves into the broader historical context of the era, painting a vivid portrait of the conflicting forces that shaped the fate of Charles I and his kingdom. Ultimately, this book challenges traditional interpretations of the king's execution, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most momentous events in British history.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. A domestic tale set in the beautiful and tranquil setting of Kensington at the close of the 19th century, this book paints a rich tapestry of class dynamics, family bonds, and the challenges of love. At the heart of the story is Dolly, a spirited and perceptive young woman, whose life becomes intertwined with that of the author's other characters, each grappling with their own dilemmas and complexities. Among them are George, Dolly's brother, a talented artist but impulsive and susceptible to temptations; Rhoda, an enigmatic figure with a past that haunts her, and Frank Raban, a man of integrity and depth, who has endured his own share of heartache. Against the backdrop of their daily lives and aspirations, the author deftly explores the boundaries between love and duty, independence and dependence, and the sometimes stark divide between the ideals we hold and the reality we experience. Featuring rich and engaging characters, this is a book that will resonate with readers interested in social realism, family drama and the ways in which relationships define, shape, and challenge us.

Smith played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Surrey, was educated, from 1886 to 1892, at Charterhouse School, one of the principal nurseries of the Association Football game, and learned many of the skills that subsequently brought him fame while boarding at the school. Smith captained the England team on at least 13, and possibly as many as 16, occasions (early records are inexact) between 1896 and 1901, winning at least eight games, possibly as many as ten, and drawing two. Smith retired from football shortly after his final international appearance and became joint headmaster at Ludgrove School, a preparatory school in Barnet recognised as one of the principal feeder institutions for Eton College. His fellow headmaster, Arthur Dunn - who had founded Ludgrove in 1892 - was another noted amateur footballer and had also played as centre-forward for England. Dunn died, aged only 41, a few months after Smith joined the school, and thereafter G. O. shared his duties with his fellow Corinthian, England captain, and great friend, William Oakley. He also taught, from 1918 at Sunningdale Preparatory School and died, aged 71, in retirement at his home in Hampshire. Ludgrove Prize Plate inside dated December 18th, 1906, SIGNED 'G. O. Smith.' Apart from the rare G. O. Smith signature, a poignant aside to the book is that the recipient student, Harry Keppel Chester, lost his life in World War 1. He was killed in action in the first GAZA Battle in 1917 and was posthumously promoted from Lieutenant to Captain H. K. Chester. His parish church, St. Mary the Virgin, in Birchanger, Essex has a marble memorial of his with the following inscription 'To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Harry Keppel Chester of this Parish, and of Kings College, Cambridge, Captain, 5th Battalion Essex Regiment, Born 18 July 1894, died 27 March 1917 of wounds received in action the previous day near Gaza, Buried at Khan Yunus, in Palestine. 'Go thy way, thy son liveth'. The Imperial War Museum, Lambeth Street, London has on view in their collection a gathering of his 1914-1917 letters, privately published in book form by his family in 1921. It is titled 'Letters from Harry Keppel Chester 1914-1917'. 218 pages. A poignant tragedy that 12 year old Harry received as his school prize 'A Boy in the Peninsular War', - killed in action - still a boy. Member of the P.B.F.A. SPORT [Football].…
