So Many Everests
Victoria Webster was born with cerebral palsy and that meant, for many of those involved in her education, that she should limit her horizons. But Victoria had her eyes, and her heart, set on a high peak of achievement to be a doctor. And, despite everything she tackled taking her longer than most of her peers, despite assurances that her patients would object, despite suggestions that she give up, she persevered and became not only a Casualty Consultant but the first Casualty Consultant in Sweden. Surrounded by loving family from her birth onwards, Victoria's story is also her mother's, Diana's story, and together they tell of the mountains scaled and conquered. This is wonderful, heart-warming and encouraging read. 'This is easily the most moving book I have read.' Katherine Whitehorn, journalist and columnist

The Con Artist
When Mitch married Marnie, he promised her a spontaneous life of adventure and travel. Alone in the rented one-bedroom flat in Luton, Marnie wondered where she had gone wrong. Mitch, on the other hand, had hit the jackpot. Married to a placid wife who asked no questions, and plenty of time on his hands, gave Mitch the opportunity to perfect his career as a con artist. As a master of disguise, he set up multiple profiles on dating websites with the sole aim of targeting single and divorced women. Using flattery and charm, and elaborate plots and ploys, he reeled in his unsuspecting female victims with the intention of defrauding them financially, and then disappearing. Becoming increasingly confident, and flush with money from his recent successes, Mitch and Marnie move to a wealthy neighbourhood in the suburbs. Here, we see Mitch meticulously planning his most audacious scam to date - the conning of a group of people who are his neighbours, some of whom have their own secrets.
The Works of John Webster
This is the second volume in the Cambridge edition of the works of John Webster, containing The Devil's Law-Case, A Cure for a Cuckold, and Appius and Virginia. This critical edition preserves the original spelling; incorporates t he most recent editorial scholarship, including valuable information on Webster's share in the collaborative plays; and employs new critical methods and textual theory. In particular, the edition integrates theatrical aspects of the plays with their bibliographical and literary features in a way not previously attempted in a scholarly edition of a Jacobean dramatist.
