Leonard Setright was one of the twentieth century's most influential, opinionated & idiosyncratic motoring journalists; described as 'more Isaiah Berlin than Jeremy Clarkson', everything he wrote was inspired by his knowledge of & passion for all things automotive. Long Lane with Turnings is a dryly witty memoir of his early years & the author's last book, left unfinished at the time of his death in the summer of 2005. We encounter Setright as a child standing behind his father's driving seat in family Wolseley, enjoining him to ' Go fast!'; taking an early delight in machines of all sorts, from the camera-like precision of the Setright ticket machine for bus conductors (manufactured by his father's firm) to his first bicycle. We also see him developing that independence of mind which so characterized his writing as a critic: readers will savour his pitch-perfect descriptions of many of the cars that he drove, be it the Mini ('a very convincing little brick'), a Renault 4 ('swaying like a sailing dinghy in corners') or his beloved Bristols. The portrait of the writer which emerges from these pages is marvellously detailed, quirky & full of warmth. ...

` Long Live Southbank` documents the history & culture of this iconic London landmark, which was threatened by a GBP120 million redevelopment, announced in March 2013. The Southbank Centre proposed designs to transform the Southbank Undercroft skate park into retail units, relocating the revered & popular skate spot further down the river, beneath the Hungerford Bridge. ` Long Live Southbank` was produced in conjunction with the campaign, the success of which was celebrated in September of 2014, when it was announced that the undercroft had been saved. The undercroft is a treasured space that has been home to skateboarders, BMX riders & graffiti artists for the last 40 years. ` Long Live Southbank` documents this history through originally commissioned photography & a wealth of archival images donated via the campaign`s website. These have been divided into chapters exploring & celebrating the history, architecture, culture & community that has evolved within this cult, iconic & remarkable space. ...

December 1901: With London Society in a frenzy of anticipation for the coronation of the new king, Edward VII, the Earl & Countess of Dilberne are caught up in lavish preparations. Yet Lady Isobel still has ample time to fret, & no wonder with a new heir on the way, an elopement, family tragedy, a runaway niece, & a gaggle of fraudulent spiritualists to contend with... With her trademark joie de vivre, Fay Weldon once again draws her readers into the lives & loves of the aristocratic Dilberne family, as they embrace not only a new century, but a new generation
- a generation with somewhat radical views...

The Endurance in this photo looks like a ghost ship, the ice that trapped her adding to the spookiness of the situation. The night is long, very long, nearly four months long, the Antarctic Winter. Hurley's picture is a masterpiece & it has now been made into a poster. ...
