The Real Kathy Kirby
As Britain’s highest paid female singing star of the 1960s, Kathy Kirby enjoyed a showbusiness lifestyle with all the trappings of success – a home in Mayfair, minks, diamonds and champagne on tap.In this explosive new book, Mark Willerton has attempted to strip away the façade of fame to reveal the ‘real’ Kathy Kirby… the girl behind the lip-gloss. Here, at last, is the truth behind the headlines; a compelling account of Kathy’s enigmatic life and career, which has never been told so frankly. The author was a friend of the star for almost thirty years and alongside his own recollections, he has drawn on commentary by Kathy’s friends, neighbours, contemporaries, song-writers and managers. Part biography and part memoir, there are many exclusives within the book; rare and previously unseen photos taken by the author during Kathy’s reclusive years. Kathy was a complex character, beautiful, glamorous and hugely talented – but flawed by debilitating mental illness and an addictive personality. Her story reveals the other side of showbusiness – what happens when a star fades and falls to earth.

The Maritime History of Cornwall
Cornwall is quintessentially a maritime region. Almost an island, nowhere in it is further than 25 miles from the sea. Cornwall’s often distinctive history has been moulded by this omnipresent maritime environment, while its strategic position at the western approaches—jutting out into the Atlantic—has given this history a global impact. It is perhaps surprising then, that, despite the central place of the sea in Cornwall’s history, there has not yet been a full maritime history of Cornwall. The Maritime History of Cornwall sets out to fill this gap, exploring the rich and complex maritime inheritance of this unique peninsula. In a beautifully illustrated volume, individually commissioned contributions from distinguished historians elaborate on the importance of different periods, from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. The Maritime History of Cornwall is a significant addition to the literature of international maritime history and is indispensable to those with an interest in Cornwall past and present. Winner of the Holyer an Gof Non-Fiction Award 2015.
