Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This book is Alice James' second selection of Fareham pictures in the Archive Photograph Series. In this volume she extends her attention to the areas around the town, including Wallington, Old Turnpike, Knowle, Wickham and Portchester as well as Fareham itself. This is an area that is being developed at a very rapid pace. Through the 220 high-quality images in this book, experienced local author, Alice James shows some of these changes. Her collection vigorously compares and contrasts those areas that have succumbed to the dramatic force of progress. Included in the selection are some recent photographs that demonstrate the extensive changes of the past two decades, as well as many pictures showing how Fareham and its environs appeared earlier in the twentieth century. Through the use of evocative and often poignant pictures, as well as captions which impart a wealth of local knowledge, the author brings the past of this beautiful part of Hampshire to life.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. First published in 1871, Thomas Hardy's Desperate Remedies, is a tale of murder. More than that, it is a tale of blackmail, bigamy and lies. And yet, under the delicate touch of a true poet, it becomes still more than that again. Desperate Remedies is, in the author's own words, a story of 'mystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity' and, as such, it is a fine example of the of the Victorian 'sensation' novel. However, in his perceptive examination of class and his society's attitudes towards women, Hardy's first published work become more than just a 'ripping yarn'; it becomes a true classic.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'I have put this boke out of Latyn into Frensch, and translated it agen out of Frensch into Englyssche, that every man of my nacioun may undirstonde it.' Sir John Mandeville, a fourteenth-century English knight about whom very little is known and whose very existence some scholars have doubted, set sail from the land of his birth in 1322. Thirty- four years later, in 1356, he finally returned. During his travels, through Europe, the Near, Middle and Far East and India, he had seen giraffes and crocodiles, fought for the Great Khan and refused an offer of marriage to a sultan's daughter. His account of his adventures was an instant best-seller, second only to the Bible, and, despite that fact that some of it, such as the lambs that grew on trees, is now known to be untrue, it was used as a work of reference: Christopher Columbus had a copy aboard his ship when he first sailed to the Americas. Serious journal or ripping yarn, The Travels of Sir John Mandeville is an enthralling account of a journey into the unknown. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The North Staffordshire Potteries are the only area in Britain to be so completely identified with one industry. The presence of the ceramics industry has played a dominant role in shaping both the economic life and the landscape of the area. The lives of local people have been played out against what Arnold Bennett described as 'a singular scenery of coal dust, potshards, flame and steam'. The photographs in this fascinating selection illuminate the everyday life of this remarkable area during the past one hundred years. As well as illustrating people at work and on the move, they give an idea of the sense of community felt by Potteries people. One section looks at the history of the area's parks - 'lungs for the people' as they were called; others explore subjects such as religion, sport, entertainment, holidays and popular celebrations. The photographs come from two main sources: the archives of the City Museum and Art Gallery and the collections of the Gladstone Working Pottery Museum. As well as describing the region's rich industrial and social heritage, they will be a source of nostalgic pleasure to those whose lives have been spent among the Potteries.
