Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This follow-up to "Tales of the Old Railwaymen" features ten more railwaymen - all in their eighties or even nineties - looking back on a lifetime working on the railways, with a wealth of tales. These are memories of a long-lost era before World War II, when you could still follow quaint professions like under-shunter, wielding your 7-foot-long wooden shunting pole, or French polisher - lovingly polishing the wood-veneered interiors of Great Western Railway carriages - and when railway clerks stood in rows at sloping wooden desks appending "Your humble, obedient servant" in quill-pen to the bottom of every company letter. Here are stories of the Midland and Great Northern Railway - known to its staff as the "Muddle and Get Nowhere Railway" - where drivers were not unknown to stop their trains near Sandringham to help themselves to the odd rabbit from a poacher's snare, and of young engine cleaners' pranks that involved blowing up the cabin stove by dropping a detonator down its chimney. And, above all, here is the subtle, hot and sweaty, and even loving art of firing and driving a great steam locomotive, with its glowing firebox, Yorkshire Hard steam coal and gleaming brass.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In this engaging and fascinating exchange of personal letters, two of the most influential gardeners of all time compare notes on successes and failures in their two very different gardens. As Christopher Lloyd and Beth Chatto convey their gardening experiences, share gossip and discuss life and nature, the horticultural expertise of these two long-established friends and distinguished gardeners gives these inspirational letters a life of their own. Beth Chattos garden in East Anglia is a place of pilgrimage for plant lovers, while Christopher Lloyd was one of the major figures in twentieth century gardening, transforming the gardens of his home Great Dixter in East Sussex.Friday 16 February Dear Beth, Today was straight out of my idea of heaven the first such day this year and the first time that all the winter crocuses have opened wide, in appreciation. Armed with my kneeling pad, I dropped to my knees to savour the honey scent of C. chrysanthus Snow Bunting. Rosemary Alexander, who spends more and more time at Stoneacre (the National Trust property near Maidstone, which she rents), expressed doubts on whether it wouldnt be better to concentrate on snowdrops, seeing that crocuses spend so much of their time in an obstinately closed state, loudly proclaiming this isnt good enough for me. I can see her point, of course. [] Tuesday 20 February Dear Christo, What a good thing you enjoyed your crocuses when you had the chance! Today we are blanketed in snow once more, with a wild north wind hurling stinging dry snow horizontally past the windows. Your way of having crocuses (and many other bulbs) naturalized in short grass is a far more effective way of growing them than in conventional borders. Left to seed themselves in little knots and ribbons of colour they appear like embroidery across a carpet before something else takes over the design. [].

Football matters, as poetry does to some people and alcohol does to others Football is inherent in the people There is more eccentricity in deliberately disregarding it than in devoting a life to it. The way we play the game, organize it and reward it reflects the kind of community we areWritten just two years after Englands 66 triumph when the national game was at its zenith, Arthur Hopcrafts The Football Man is repeatedly quoted as the best book ever written about the sport.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. They stare down at us from the roofs and towers of our mediaeval churches: grotesque, monstrous and utterly mesmerising. The gargoyles grimacing and leering at us down the centuries, taking the form of anything from a centaur to a cretinous imp, were put there in the Middle Ages to ward off the evil that lies beyond the holy ground. But even in our modern era, our newspapers filled with tales of abduction and disaster, these magnificent works of sculpture and carving murmur to us of nightmares and nasty thoughts and intimations of our mortality. Mike Harding's travels have taken him not only from Cumbria to Somerset, but also to France, Italy and even northern India in search of the most memorable and malevolent gargoyles, celebrated here in his superb photographs and erudite, quirky text. Here, then, are mouth-pullers and monster musicians, poking tongues and priapic giants, heads sprouting water or silently howling with toothache -not to mention the gargantuan cats glaring at us in Gloucester Cathedral.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Readers of the brilliant Telegraph Letters page , as Ian Hislop recently lauded it, will be fondly aware of the eclectic combination of learned wisdom, wistful nostalgia and robust good sense that characterise its correspondence. But what of the 95 per cent of the paper s huge postbag which never sees the light of day? Some of the best letters inevitably arrive too late for the 24/7 news cycle, or don t quite fit with the rest of the day s selection. Others are just a little too whimsical, or indeed too risque , to publish in a serious newspaper. And more than a few are completely and utterly (and wonderfully) mad, such as the missives you ll find within these pages from someone who signs himself merely as M , and believes himself to be the head of MI6. Now, the Telegraph gives the authors of these unpublished letters the stage at last. Baffled, furious, defiant, mischievous, they inveigh and speculate on every subject under the sun, from the rubbish on television these days to the venality of our MPs, from Kate Winslet s de colletage to this country s unhealthy obsession with marmalade. All those Telegraph readers who wondered if anyone else had noticed that the lunatics had finally taken over the asylum and sat down to write to their favourite newspaper to test the waters they need howl into the void no longer.
