Pages crisp and unmarked.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). 18th novel in a sequence hailed as the greatest series of historical novels ever written Ð sets the fall and rise of Jack Aubrey in brilliant counterpoint to the fall and rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Life ashore may once again be the undoing of Jack Aubrey. Even JackÕs exploits at sea turn sour in the storm waters off Brest. Worst of all, in the spring of 1814 peace breaks out. But Stephen Maturin returns from a mission in France with news that the Chileans require the service of English officers. Jack is savouring this reprieve for his career when he receives an urgent despatch ordering him to Gibraltar: Napoleon has escaped from Elba.

Outreach Magazine Resource of the YearMany bemoan the decline of the church. We hear a steady stream of reports about how droves of people, especially younger generations, are abandoning Christianity. But new research shows that unchurched Americans are surprisingly more receptive and open to the Christian faith than is commonly assumed. Researcher and practitioner Rick Richardson unveils the findings of the Billy Graham Center Institute's groundbreaking studies on the unchurched. A study of 2000 unchurched people across the country reveals that the unchurched are still remarkably open to faith conversations and the church. Even unchurched ""nones"" and millennials are quite receptive if they are approached in particular ways. In this book you will also find best practices…

London: Ebury Press, 2013. 1st. h/b. Fine, as new.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). With over fifty new poems from BritainÕs favourite poet, You Made Me Late Again! is an essential addition to Pam AyresÕ incomparable collection of works. PamÕs poems are observant, witty and poignant in equal measure. In ÔThe SwiftsÕ and ÔThe Pyracantha AnthemÕ she marvels at nature, while ÔA PatientÕs PrayerÕ and ÔLitter MoronÕ offer wry views on Modern Britain. From the dog being afraid of the toaster to your son leaving home for university; and from the search for that perfect swimsuit to becoming a gran for the first time Ð PamÕs poems are beautifully crafted, and her subjects the everyday and the universal. Delightfully illustrated, most of the poems in You Made Me Late Again! are brand new, yet it also features several firm favourites from her stage shows, published for the first time, such as ÔThe Make-up LadyÕ and ÔTippy Tappy FeetÕ.

The Young Visiters or Mr Salteena's Plan is a comic masterpiece that has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1919. A classic story of life and love in later Victorian England as seen from the nursery window, it was written in 1890 by nine-year-old Daisy Ashford. It all starts when Alfred Salteena, who is 'not quite the right side of the blanket', takes young Ethel Montacue to stay with his friend Bernard Clarke... Daisy Ashford has an exquisite eye for matchmaking and manners in English society, and her tale, with its hilarious observation and idiosyncratic spelling, is as irresistible today as it ever was. BBC1 adapted it…

Youth was not my first contribution to "" Maga "" * It was the second. But that story marks the first appearance in the world of the man Marlow, with whom my relations have grown very intimate in the course of years. The origins of that gentleman (nobody as far as I know had ever hinted that he was anything but that)Ñhis origins have been the subject of some literary speculation of, I am glad to say, a friendly nature. The story Gaspar Ruiz is not a piece of personal experience like Youth. It is truly fiction, by which I do not mean that it is merely invented, but that it is truly imagined from hints of things that have really happened and of people that have really existed at that time, in that locality and under those special conditions of hfe. It can…
