Readers of the Telegraph Letters Page 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% of the papers huge postbag that never sees the light of day? Some of the best letters inevitably arrive too late for the 24/7 news cycle, or dont quite fit with the rest of the days 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. Thankfully Iain Hollingshead is on-hand to give the authors of the best unpublished letters the stage they so richly deserve. 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.

Now, with the fourth book in the series, Iain Hollingshead collects together our favourite letterwriters on everything from this summer's Olympics to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, as well as the rather more obscure concerns voiced by 'M', the habitual correspondent who believes himself to be the head of MI5 but writes from an internet cafe in Bristol.

Winner of the 'Bill Rollinson Prize for Landscape and Tradition' Lakeland Book Awards Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award and for the Boardman-Tasker Prize. An inspiring insight into one of the oldest extreme sports, and a lyrical tribute to Britains mountains and the men and women who live among them, this is the definitive story of fell-running. With an introduction from bestselling author Robert Macfarlane, this is a complete portrait of one of the few sports to have remained utterly true to its roots in which the point is not fame or fortune but to run the ancient, wild landscape, and to be a hero, if at all, within ones own valley. Richard Askwiths journey takes him into a world of forbidding rockscapes, horizontal rain, fear, exhaustion and stunning natural beauty, as well as his own attempt at one of the purest and toughest challenges imaginable: the Bob Graham Round, the sports traditional test of 42 Lake District peaks in 24 hours. Along the way, he encounters some of the most prodigious and unsung athletes Britain has produced, such as Joss Naylor, who covered the equivalent of four Everests in a single run.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. With his sly little moustache, broad gap-toothed grin, garish waistcoats and ostentatious cigarette holder, Terry-Thomas was known as an absolute bounder, both onscreen and off. Graham McCann s hugely entertaining biography celebrates the life and career of a very English rascal. Born in 1911 into an ordinary suburban family, Thomas Terry Hoar-Stevens set about transforming himself at a very early age into a dandy and a gadabout. But he did not put the finishing touches to his persona until the mid-1950s with his groundbreaking TV comedy series How Do You View?, a forerunner of The Goon Show and Monty Python. Terry-Thomas went on to carve out a long and lucrative career in America, appearing on TV alongside Judy Garland, Bing Crosby and Lucille Ball, and in Hollywood movies with Jack Lemmon, Rock Hudson and Doris Day. He became every American s idea of a mischievous English gent. After a long battle with Parkinson s disease, he died in 1990 in comparative obscurity, but his influence lives on. Basil Brush was a polyester tribute to Terry-Thomas, and comedians including Vic Reeves and Paul Whitehouse hail T-T as a role model. Dandyism is the product of a bored society, D Aurevilly observed. Terry-Thomas cocked a snook at the dull sobriety of post-war Britain with his sly humour. As he would say himself: Good show! The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
