Pelham Puppets
Complete with reminiscences by professional puppeteers and instructions for string untangling, here is a comprehensive history of these fascinating puppets that have reflected society and social change through the latter part of the 20th century. The Pelham Puppets company was formed to provide a vibrancy and color that had long been lacking in the lives of children--and adults. The puppets produced ranged from fairytale characters, such as kings, queens, and wicked witches, through loveable animals such as Wags the dog and Muffin the mule. An absolute must for collectors, this book explains the development of the puppets and the different types and their related terminology. Enlivened by lavish color photography throughout, together with contemporary illustrations, newsletters, and other memorabilia, the book provides a fascinating insight into the world of Pelham Puppets. Topics covered include the story of the Pelham company, the boxes and packaging, the manufacturing process, and insight into the world of Pelham Puppets collectors.
Pelham Humfrey
The fifteen years between the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 and the beginning of Henry Purcell's career saw the birth of the Baroque style in England. Pelham Humfrey was the most significant composer of this period, and his contribution to the English Baroque style was decisive. Though his career spanned little more than a decade, his output of verse anthems with strings, court odes, and theater music greatly influenced the musical style of the Restoration and provided Henry Purcell, Humfrey's pupil, with a solid foundation for his own highly acclaimed career. This study offers particularly sharp insights into Humphrey's synthesis of French and Italian styles and his creation of a distinctive English Baroque idiom.

The Unlikely Settler
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict seen by an outsider who craves to make sense of herself, her marriage, and the city she lives in The Unlikely Settler is none other than a young Bengali journalist who moves to Jerusalem with her English-Jewish husband and two children. He speaks Arabic and is an arch believer in the peace process; she leaves her career behind to follow his dream. Jerusalem propels Pelham into a world where freedom from tribal allegiance is a challenging prospect. From the school you choose for your children to the wine you buy, you take sides at every turn. Pelham’s complicated relationship with her husband, Leo, is as emotive as the city she lives in, as full of energy, pain, and contradictions. As she tries to navigate the complexities and absurdities of daily life in Jerusalem, often with hilarious results, Pelham achieves deep insights into the respective woes and guilt of her Palestinian and Israeli friends. Her intelligent analysis suggests a very different approach to a potential resolution of the conflict.

Pelham
Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician. He was a florid, popular writer of his day, who coined such phrases as "the great unwashed," and "the pen is mightier than the sword."
