Paperback. Condizione: Good. Dennis the Menace made his first appearance in the Beano in 1951 and has been wreaking weekly havoc in the pages of the comic ever since. He's aided and abetted by his faithful companion Gnasher and fun is usually at the expense of the hapless Walter, the very incarnation of cissiedom. Now, like many in their middle years, Denis has taken up golf - with hair-raising results. The thirty Rules illustrated in this book - from 1-4 'Exerting influence on the ball' to 34-2 'Referee's decisions' - are all perfectly genuine, as are the further dozen points of etiquette also covered. But for Dennis, of course, a rule is something made to be broken, evaded or misinterpreted while the entire concept of etiquette is utterly alien. Each of Dennis' ingenious and outrageous pieces of blatant gamesmanship is illustrated in full colour and even those who for whom golf is close to a religion will find it hard to keep a straight face when confronted with this hilarious collection of subversion and blasphemy. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. With his sly little moustache, broad gap-toothed grin, garish waistcoat 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 the ultimate English cad. 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 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. 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!' Graham McCann is the bestselling and critically acclaimed author of Spike & Co., Dad's Army, Frankie Howerd, Morecambe & Wise and Cary Grant. He is one of Britain's foremost writers on entertainment. He lives in Cambridge. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

From county grounds where Denis Compton hit a century to the smallest village field Britain's Lost Cricket Grounds movingly shows how picturesque greenery gave way to shopping malls and housing estates. The cricket ground is as much a part of the British landscape as the parish church. Hastings used to have a historic ground in the middle of the town surrounded by elegant houses - but then recently it disappeared under a shopping precinct with a branch of River Island where the wicket used to be. Yorkshire used to play at Sheffield's Bramall Lane - until the football club built grandstands over it. Like so many companies with works grounds, Guinness have closed their cricket ground at Park Royal and sold it for an industrial estate. Now, in a further addition to Aurum's successful 'Lost' series, following Britain's Lost Cities and Lost Victorian Britain, Guardian journalist Chris Arnot tours the country in search of our most lamented lost cricket grounds, hearing reminiscences from former players and spectators, and finding what, if anything, is left nowadays, apart from the poignant photographs of their picturesque heyday that make this a nostalgic and rueful trip back in time.
