The extension to other Realms of the reserve power to refuse a dissolution
Crown & Sceptre
An in-depth look at the British monarchy that’s “a superb synthesis of historical analysis, politics, and top-notch royal gossip” (Kirkus Reviews). Since William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England’s various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain’s throne. “Shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue’s gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs,” as Tracy Borman describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre.

Short Stories
Somerset Maugham is the acknowledged master of the short story, and his full range is represented in this collection. In acclaimed stories such as 'Rain', 'The Letter', 'The Vessel of Wrath' and 'The Alien Corn', Maugham illustrates his wry perception of human weakness and his genius for evoking compelling drama and an acute sense of time and place.
A Man Called Ove

'Warm, funny, and almost unbearably moving' Daily Mail 'Delightful . . . the perfect holiday read' Evening Standard Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet.

'Hilarious and heart-breaking' Stylist 'Rescued all those men who constantly mean to read novels but never get round to it' Spectator Books of the Year
