The King of Gravesend, The Trilogy
The three books in the series, are combined into one awesome compendium. This edition contains some of the artworks that I used as inspiration in writing the book and a few teaks on the characters, but only a few. It follows the adventures of Chuds Douglas, recently deported back to the UK and finding himself back in Gravesend, where he was born and raised and, once upon a time, used to be someone in the town. However his old businesses have been taken over by a ruthless family gang who operate in a way that Chuds cannot simply stand by and watch. Can he get his old reputation and business back? Will his actions trigger events that take him abroad and inspire even greater adventures and risks. The three books build to a crescendo, and will keep you enthralled to the last page...
Reassessing Nikolaus Pevsner
Nikolaus Pevsner was one of the most important and influential art historians of the twentieth century. He opened up new areas of enquiry in the history of art, revolutionising architectural studies in England and playing a key role in establishing the discipline of design history. Through his lectures and broadcasts, as well as the remarkable volumes in The Buildings of England series which made him a household name, he did much to encourage greater interest in, and understanding of, art and architecture among a wide public. This wide-ranging collection of essays, based on papers delivered at the conference held at Birkbeck in celebration of the centenary of Pevsner's birth, offers the first sustained critical assessment of Pevsner's achievements. With contributions by leading international scholars, the volume brings together a wealth of new material on Pevsner and his intellectual background, both in Germany in the late 1920s and 1930s and in England, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s.
The King of Gravesend is Bored!

He needs a project, one that would involve travel, building his bond with his girl Ro and exploring new opportunities even on the other side of the world. While researching the possibility of helping their friend expand his restaurant business, and being in desperate need of a holiday, Chuds and Ro travel To The Philippines where they discover new foods, new friends and even new romance. What could go wrong? Turns out if it can go wrong, it will go wrong, very VERY wrong.
The Formation of English Gothic
In this original account of architecture in England between c.1150 and c.1250, Peter Draper explores how the assimilation of new ideas from France led to an English version of Gothic architecture that was quite distinct from Gothic expression elsewhere. The author considers the great cathedrals of England (Canterbury, Wells, Salisbury, Lincoln, Ely, York, Durham, and others) as well as parish churches and secular buildings, to examine the complex interrelations between architecture and its social and political functions. Architecture was an expression of identity, Draper finds, and the unique Gothic that developed in England was one of a number of manifestations of an emerging sense of national identity. The book inquires into such topics as the role of patrons, the relationships between patrons and architects, and the wide variety of factors that contributed to the process of creating a building. With 250 illustrations, including more than 50 in color, this book offers new ways of seeing and thinking about some of England’s greatest and best-loved architecture.
