Extremely Entertaining Short Stories
Short Stories of World War 1 and the 1920s, some funny, some poignant, by the author whom John Galsworthy rated "e;one of the best short-story writers of all time"e;.
Behind a Georgian Door
Three stories set in three of Dublin's best-known Georgian Terraces. 1. CHRISTMAS 2013 - Herbert Place: A lovingly restored townhouse - on the street where Elizabeth Bowen and Edward Carson lived - becomes a testing burden for a young family after the financial crash. 2. GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BED - Upper Pembroke Street: A moment of crisis - and an eighteenth-century bed - bring together an unlikely group in one of Dublin's most familiar Georgian streets. 3. GRACE KELLY'S DRESS - Merrion Square: A famous dress, a spectacular dinner party, and a dining room of family legend and of family tragedy - on the grand Georgian square which Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, Sheridan LeFanu, and Daniel O'Connell once called home. "A stylish production, and undoubtedly stylish tales." - Books Ireland Magazine
The Secret of Jules and Josephine
A satire and time-travel story set partly in 1927, and partly in present-day Emeraldia - an 'alternative-universe' Ireland, in which the abandonment of tradition has unsettled the order of things. A murder in 1927 Paris started the rot, and history needs to be rewritten.
Survivor
This is a Workshop Guide for the small chassis Rolls-Royce. The book is intended to help the average owner gain a deeper understanding of the car. It includes 100 workshop photographs & illustrations, designed to help the owner maintain their own car in first class mechanical condition. Included is data and servicing information, updated to take advantage of the availability of modern high tech oils and materials. Plus many 'Useful Contacts' and sources of supply. At the same time, the book is also the fascinating story of an early 20/25 Thrupp & Maberly tourer. It chronicles the Derby birth, the social history, the mechanical puzzles and the solutions found, in bringing this 1929 20/25 back to top class condition. "The quality will remain, long after the price is forgotten", Henry Royce once sagely observed. How right he was.
Jumping the Border
"I have run the gauntlet of many borders in my time, but the border I grew up with at home was far and away the most trying," writes Seamas O Cathain (Professor Emeritus at University College Dublin, and former Director of the National Folklore Collection) of the Irish border - "a border policed by little corporals that was the bane of our lives."
The Dictionary of Fashion History
- What is an earthquake gown? - Who wore eelskin masher trousers? - What did the word "dudes" mean in the 16th century? A Dictionary of English Costume by C. Willett Cunnington, Phillis Cunnington and Charles Beard was originally published in 1960. A monumental achievement and encyclopaedic in scope, it was a comprehensive catalogue of fashion terms from the mid-medieval period up to 1900. It was reissued and updated several times, for the last time in 1976. For decades it has served as a bible for costume historians. The Dictionary of Fashion History completely updates and supplements the Cunningtons' landmark work to bring it up to the present day. Featuring additional terms and revised definitions, this new edition represents an essential reference for costume historians, students of fashion history, or anyone involved in creating period costume for the theatre, film or television. It also is fascinating reading for those simply interested in the subject. Clear, concise, and meticulous in detail, this essential reference answers countless questions relating to the history of dress and adornment and promises to be a definitive guide for generations to come.
Starfall
A child of the sun seeks his father—and risks destruction for the thrill of speed In the grazing fields outside the village, a griffin swoops from the sky to attack a lamb. To save the innocent creature, a boy called Phaeton hurls rocks at the assailant, taunting it to come after him instead. As the mythical beast charges, Phaeton turns and runs. The griffin is quick, but it cannot catch Phaeton. He is the fastest boy in the world, and he believes there is nothing he cannot outrun. Phaeton is a child of Apollo, god of the sun. When he learns the nature of his birth, this proud young man embarks on an epic journey to challenge his father and claim his birthright.
