In Pale Battalions
£7.19
Six months after her husband's sudden death, Leonora Galloway sets off for a holiday in Paris with her daughter Penelope. At last the time has come when secrets can be shared & explanations begin... Their journey starts with an unscheduled stop at the imposing Thiepval Memorial to the dead of the Battle of the Somme near Amiens. Amongst those commemorated is Leonora's father. The date of his death is recorded as 30th April, 1916. But Leonora wasn't born until 14th March 1917. Penelope at once supposes a simple wartime illegitimacy as the clue to her mother's unhappy childhood & the family's sundered connections with her aristocratic heritage, about which she has always known so little. But nothing could have prepared her, or the reader, for the extraordinary story that is about to unfold. ...

In Praise Of Shadows
£6.29
This is an essay on aesthetics by one of the greatest Japanese novelists. The text ranges over architecture, jade, food, toilets, & combines an acute sense of the use of space in buildings, as well as perfect descriptions of lacquerware under candlelight & women in the darkness of the house of pleasure. The essay forms a classic description of the collision between the shadows of traditional Japanese interiors & the dazzling light of the modern age. ...

Product Description

From Barnardo boy to original virgin soldier; from apprentice journalist in London's Fleet Street to famous novelist...

At times funny, at times sad, but always honest & utterly compulsive, Leslie Thomas's story is straight out of fiction. As an orphan, he picked his way through the rubble of post-war Britain & was sent on national service to the Far East. Later he became a Fleet Street reporter, with hilarious experiences to relate, & then became the bestselling author of The Virgin Soldiers
- the novel that, although scandalous in its day, is now recognised as a classic of its kind. He is also the creator of Dangerous Davies: The Last Detective, which has been adapted into a popular television series. In 2005, Leslie Thomas was awarded an OBE for services to literature.

With a new introduction for this edition, this is an amazing story, & Leslie Thomas's magic touch brings it crackling to life with warmth, wit & humour.
