Stalking Fiona
Fiona McMillan wakes to the sound of a package being delivered. The various documents it contains present Fiona's story told by more than one person: in a letter, a diary, a journal and on a computer disk. But which voice is telling the truth and how can she be sure of the murderer's identity?
East of Wimbledon
Robert Wilson is an aimless, chronically untruthful young Englishman who has passed himself off as a Muslim, in order to secure a job at the newly established Wimbledon Independent Islamic Boys' Day School. East of Wimbledon is the hilarious story of Mr Wilson's decline and fall, as he demonstrates the failure of a post-colonial Briton to understand another great imperial culture that has absolutely no need of him.
They Came From SW19
At fourteen years old, Simon Britten is a keen ufologist. When his dad dies, two things happen: a UFO-watch on Wimbledon Common turns up something distinctly out of this world; and his mother joins a local 'church' and attempts to contact her deceased husband beyond the grave. Caught between the Extra-Terrestrial and the First Church of Christ the Spiritualist, Simon struggles to work out just what - or whom - he should believe in.
Porcelain Repair and Restoration
A practical handbook, now revised and updated, for those interested in repairing or restoring prized pieces of porcelain.
R.I.P.
Retired bank manager George Pearmain is, apparently, dead. According to the behaviour of everyone around him, it would seem that he is no more. Not only that, but his mother has also passed away too - and on the eve of her 99th year, poor dear. Not only that, it could be that they were both murdered. He feels fine otherwise. As George's family gather for the birthday-celebration-that-never-was, he hovers around the house, watching and listening, entirely unseen. As a result, he makes all sorts of discoveries about himself, his wife Esmeralda and his supposedly happy family . . . Screamingly funny and strange, it asks the question: What if you could bear witness to your own demise?
William Golding's Lord of the Flies
A dramatization, suitable for schools and amateur dramatic groups, of Golding's bestselling novel. The book contains notes and diagrams for staging, including lighting and sound cues and a full properties list.
Harry and Me
"The Harry Harrod Show used to be top of the ratings but now it's on the slide and not even a third-rate pop star (who might once have had a hit in Finland) is willing to appear. Ray, the producer, and Tracy, the researcher, spend their lives on mobile phones, often three at a time, sometimes in stereo, their desperation spiralling and swooping in ever more imaginative and devious ways to insinuate themselves with the agent's assistant, who is blocking their path to the agent, who is keeping them away from the pop star. Harry, meanwhile, is simply desperate." "Quick-fire, scurrilous and very, very funny, Harry and Me premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in March 1996."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Wimbledon Poisoner
Henry Farr is forty years old. He is suburban, average, conventional - and desperate to be rid of his wife, Elinor. Inspired by a grisly episode in Wimbledon's local history, Farr begins to concoct a recipe for the perfect murder. But his plans go terribly, terribly wrong - and before long, poor Henry's best efforts to set himself free, in fact send him spiralling wildly out of control.
