Life's a Cavalcade
In Life's a Cavalcade, Glen looks back over an eventful and varied life which began in the picturesque Devon town of Paignton, where he was born Cecil Buckland. Glen spent an itinerant childhood as his parents gave up the boarding house they ran in Devon and entered domestic service. In his early teens Glen made for London to seek fame and fortune. Service in the RAF with Ralph Reader's famous Gang Shows, as well as other successes, led to films and a role in the Academy Award Winning Ealing Studios film The Blue Lamp. Glen's career continued with a move to Scotland, where he continued to appear on stage as well as in numerous TV plays and light entertainment shows for the BBC and the fledgl...
Pony Cavalcade
This omnibus edition - now in hardback - contains much of Norman Thelwell's invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get into the saddle and stay there; each item illustrated with inimitable and deadly clarity. From the first publication of Angels on Horseback in 1957, the Thelwell pony entered the language - and the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere. The angels in Angels on Horseback are children, but there is plenty here about their parents. Both for those who know Thelwell, and for those who have not met him before, this book is a savoury at all times - but especially after attending a gymkhana. Since their debut appearance in Punch over sixty years ago, Norman Thelwell's cartoons and drawings have delighted millions of people all over the world. His portrayals of sporting pursuits, human beings at play, the life of the countryside and, of course, ponies, are the products of a unique comic genius.

Comedian and actor Roy Hudd has had a lifelong affair with show business and has here written the most complete Who's Who of British Variety Theatre ever published. As a paid performer, he just caught the tail end of this rich and colorful entertainment before it was ousted in many people's lives by television. In this marvellous book Roy Hudd recounts virtually every act he saw in the Variety Theatre, from the obscure and unknown, to the acts that emerged from it to remain with audiences for decades, inluding Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Norman Wisdom and Cliff Richard. This is an invaluable guide to the world of Variety Theatre.

Thelwell's Pony Cavalcade
Little girls. Fat hairy ponies. Hook-nosed riding teachers, riders on backward, and horses gone madly off course. The artist Norman Thelwell published his first pony cartoon in 1953, and quite by accident, his name became synonymous with these kinds of images. "The response was instantaneous," he wrote in his autobiography. "Suddenly I had fan mail...I dreamed up some more horsey ideas and people went into raptures." The "Thelwell pony" soon became the most-often referenced source of horse-humor the world over. In 1957, Thelwell's first collection of pony cartoons, Angels on Horseback, was published, followed by A Leg at Each Corner in '61, and Riding Academy in '63. In this Anniversary Spec...
