Portergeist
The parents are lost in the past that formed them; the children raise themselves as a result from neglect and unintended, emotional abuse. Meanwhile, the Portergeist ('dead, my arse'), communicating to them all through modern media, tries to control and direct each of them to get his brother to play with him again in the fiery wake. Fantasies combine with a loose understanding of what is really happening, questioning everyone’s identity, perspective, resilience and voice. Portergeist is a social history covering a fifty-year timespan explored through the distorted internal logic of mental illness, life as seen through the eyes of children and a very quirky humour. For those who have not ex...
The Great Fire of London
The Great Fire of London was the greatest catastrophe of its kind in Western Europe. Although detailed fire precautions and fire-fighting arrangements were in place, the fire raged for four days and destroyed 13,200 houses, 87 churches and 44 of the City of London's great livery halls. The 'great fire' of 1666 closely followed by the 'great plague' of 1665; as the antiquary Anthony Wood wrote left London 'much impoverished, discontented, afflicted, cast downe'. In this comprehensive account, Stephen Porter examines the background to 1666, events leading up to and during the fire, the proposals to rebuild the city and the progress of the five-year programme which followed. He places the fire firmly in context, revealing not only its destructive impact on London but also its implications for town planning, building styles and fire precautions both in the capital and provincial towns.

The Chelsea Porter

The pair then headed to the UK where Steve traced his family tree to a copper-mining community in Cornwall. He then struck gold when he landed a job as porter at a swish mansion building in Chelsea, in the hear...

Lanny
Longlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize An entrancing new novel by the author of the prizewinning Grief Is the Thing with Feathers There’s a village an hour from London. It’s no different from many others today: one pub, one church, redbrick cottages, some public housing, and a few larger houses dotted about. Voices rise up, as they might anywhere, speaking of loving and needing and working and dying and walking the dogs. This village belongs to the people who live in it, to the land and to the land’s past. It also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, a mythical figure local schoolchildren used to draw as green and leafy, choked by tendrils growing out of his mouth, who awakens after a gloriou...
