The Carry On Girls
Whether it is the seaside postcard bubbly blondes of Barbara Windsor, the hysterically historical leading ladies of Joan Sims, the coquettish authoritarians of Hattie Jacques, or the statuesque confidence of Valerie Leon, the Carry On girls are stoic, sexy and fiercely independent. In this lavish celebration of a pioneering generation of comedy actresses who continue to radiate charm and contemporary relevance, a few home truths are revealed and some myths are debunked; but, above all, some of the best-loved icons of British entertainment are given fitting affection and respect.

Wandering Women
Spanning the five continents, Wandering Women presents travel writings from the 1790s to the 1990s. These thirty-seven intrepid travellers include Anna Jane Thornton who posed as a male sailor in order to get to New York. Beatrice Grimshaw, world-record cyclist who is still remembered in Papua and Daisy Bates who recorded the lives of the Australian Aborigines. These are tales drawn from journals, autobiographies, letters and private diaries as well as the travel books of present day professionals such as Dervla Murphy. These women write as wives or companions, as political exiles, emigrants, nuns, journalists, servants or anthropologists. Across Russia, Canada and the Atlantic ocean to the USA, the Pacific islands, Africa and Tibet, they travel by canoe and camel, ox-wagon and bicycle. Some are solo explorers, some travel on duty, for pleasure or for economic gain. Most are adventurous, some foolhardy but all write in vivid and memorable ways.
