Louis Philippe D'Orleans, King of the French, 1773-1850
Who was Louis Philippe? In this new biography, Ann Allestree examines the man, his legacy and the extraordinary vicissitudes of his life.
Barbara Pym
"In 1977 Barbara Pym was mentioned twice by both Philip Larkin and Lord David Cecil in a Times Literary Supplement survey of the most underrated writers of the century, leading to a rediscovery of her life and works that has continued to this day. Her reputation as a wry satirist has grown steadily ... Just after what would have been her 100th birthday, her books remain in print and are now glowingly received and well-loved ... From the acknowledged early classic Excellent Women to the universally refected (and later resurrected) An Unsuitable Attachment, so out of kilter with the gritty social realism of the 1960s, all are held up to an affectionate scrutiny. Ann Allstree draws parallels between Pym's life (and the people she shares it with) and her novels, illuminating why she made certain choices in her fiction"--Publisher's description.
Seize the Day

This work details wars, weddings, political upheavals and celebrated scandals with portraits of great houses, great gardens, the British countryside, and those essential prerequisites to posterity: parties, prices, clothes and conversations.
