The King's Touch
Restored to the British throne in 1660 after years of exile, Charles II began a reign famous for dramatic events (the Plague, the Great Fire, the Dutch Wars), the flowering of science and the arts, and for notorious sexual liaisons. With a bevy of mistresses and flamboyantly addicted to high living, the Merry Monarch successfully presided over 'Merry Olde England' in an age of intrigue and religious dissent. When his tolerance extended to acknowledging his illegitimate son at court, James's life changed out of all recognition. This is the story of a remarkable man, and the spectacular upheavals and reverses of the time, told through the eyes of his illegitimate son, James, Duke of Monmouth.

Jude the Obscure
Jude Fawley's ambitions to go to university are thwarted by class prejudice and his entrapment in a loveless marriage. His doomed love affair with his unconventional cousin has tragic consequences. Hardy's last, and most controversial novel, this revised edition has the first truly critical text, a new chronology and bibliography, and substantially revised notes.
Jude
'It wasn't just her freakish ability with language. She saw through to behind the words. It was like she had a direct line to - I was going to say to "the gods"...' About to be fired from her cleaning job for stealing a volume of Euripides, Jude turns her employer's outrage to shock by translating the ancient Greek on the spot. The employer, a Classics teacher, knows great talent when she sees it and the encounter kick-starts Jude's lifelong ambition to study at Oxford University. Possessing an astonishing gift for languages, Jude will stop at nothing to achieve her dream - but she remains oblivious to the hidden barriers that her background has placed in her path... Loosely inspired by Thomas Hardy's novel Jude the Obscure, Howard Brenton's play Jude is a modern-day tale of unexpected genius and of our struggle to accommodate extraordinary talent. The play premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2019, directed by Edward Hall.
Hey Jude
A superstar, a role model, an inspiration. Even before his 21st birthday Jude Bellingham had proved to be all of those things after a stratospheric surge to the peak of world football. The Real Madrid and England hero has broken new ground on his path from the playing fields of the Midlands to the bright lights of the Bernabeu, a player marked out for greatness from a young age and one intent on devouring every opportunity with a hunger that has set him apart from his peers. Named the 2023 Golden Boy as the undisputed best young player in Europe, Bellingham appears to be on an inexorable march towards the ultimate prize of the Ballon d'Or. But what sits behind the blistering ascent of football's brightest rising star? How was the raw talent finessed, where does the burning desire to succeed come from? Hey Jude charts the story of a unique sporting talent through the eyes of those who have been beside him on the journey. Exploring the wider issues surrounding Bellingham's path from Birmingham to the Bundesliga and beyond, painting a candid portrait of life in the football hotbed of Madrid, it represents the first instalment in one of football's most captivating success stories.
