The Sacrilege of Alan Kent
Alan Kent is a wanderer, a seeker. Driven by, or fleeing from, unnamed forces, he struggles against the hardening effects of a brutal and indifferent world. In a series of episodes, Erskine Caldwell tells the semiautobiographical story of Kent's childhood, roving early manhood, and transformation into an artist. The episodes, which range from brief, graphic sketches to one-sentence impressions, are filled with elemental images of light and darkness, blood and water, earth and sky.

"The Cult of Relics" is a novel by Alan M. Kent (author of "Proper Job, Charlie Curnow!" and "Electric Pastyland"), presented in a bilingual format, with a Cornish-language translation, "Devocyon dhe Greryow", by Nicholas Williams.

Tales of Ale and Chainmail
The simplest of choices are often the most necessary. Eight magical objects. Eight adventurers. Eight stories. Across the world of the Western Shield, long hidden artefacts are found by those who adventure into the forgotten corners of history.

A History of the Pyrrhic War
A History of the Pyrrhic War explores the multi-polar nature of a conflict that involved the Romans, peoples of Italy, western Greeks, and Carthaginians during Pyrrhus’ western campaign in the early third century BCE. The war occurred nearly a century before the first historical writings in Rome, resulting in a malleable narrative that emphasized the moral virtues of the Romans, transformed Pyrrhus into a figure that resembled Alexander the Great, disparaged the degeneracy of the Greeks, and demonstrated the malicious intent of the Carthaginians. Kent demonstrates the way events were shaped by later Roman generations to transform the complex geopolitical realities of the Pyrrhic War into a...
Who's Buried Where in Kent
LOCAL HISTORY. This fascinating book will leave you humbled, uplifted and smiling. Within its pages the reader will discover the famous, infamous, notable, curious and eccentric people who were buried in Kent's churches, churchyards and cemeteries.

From the graves of a gentleman who won the Victoria Cross for rescuing ship-mates from cannibals, a ninety-year old spinster who died 'with all her faculties' and a grave of an innocent man hanged on Penenden Heath, there are also many epitaphs of heroes and heroines, pioneers, inventors, poets, artists, sportsmen, politicians, a secret agent, Royalty and even smugglers!Sadly, even those people who were renowned in their lifetime are soon forgotten, their graves becoming overgrown and the inscriptions virtually illegible.
