The Strange Death of Edmund Godfrey
On the evening of 17 October 1678 the body of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, a Westminster Justice of the Peace, was discovered in a ditch near Primrose Hill. He had been pierced with his own sword and apparently strangled. His death lead to a widespread popular hysteria about a "Popish Plot". Although a magistrate famous for his fierce rectitude, Godfrey was closely involved with the alternative healer and "stroker", Valentine Greatrakes and also played a part in many plots and and intrigues centred on the uninhibited court of Charles II and Restoration London. His death brought to a head a series of rumours about Catholic plots to kill Charles II and install his brother, James, Duke of York, on the throne. Identified as the victim of a Jesuit hit-man, Godfrey became overnight a Protestant martyr and cult figure.

The Printmaker's Cat
"Cats have been associated with artistic creation for many centuries, from Egyptian tomb paintings to Louis wain's anthropomorphised felines of the late 1880's. They represent an undeniably compelling subject whether appearing on stone wall, canvas or paper. This book concentrates sololey on printmaking, itself an acient art form that has seemingly found a new lease of life in contemporary hands. Captured on these pages are etchings, engraving, woodblocks, linocuts, silkscreen, collagraphs and lithography. All feature cats as dominant or significant subject. Many are whitty, whimsical; some bold others subtle. Buyers of this book will probably art lovers, inevitably cat lovers, or more likely both"-- Publishers description.

Alan Brooke—Churchill's Right-Hand Critic
This new biography of Churchill’s top WWII advisor is “an excellent book for anyone interested in military leadership” (The NYMAS Review). Voted the greatest Briton of the twentieth century, Winston Churchill has long been credited with almost single-handedly leading his country to victory in World War II. But without Alan Brooke, a skilled tactician, at his side the outcome might well have been disastrous. Brooke, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, more often than not served as a brake on some of Churchill’s more impetuous ideas. However, while Brooke’s diaries reveal his fury with some of Churchill’s decisions, they also reveal his respect and admiration for the wartime prime...
