As you walk around the
streets and parks of
Cardiff there are many
plaques, statues and
other monuments which
tell us about the city's
colourful past. For
instance, why was the
lighthouse erected at
Roath Park to commemorate
the historic voyage of
Captain Scott to the
Antarctic? Who was John
Batchelor and why does
his statue on The Hayes
proclaim him to be 'The
Friend of Freedom'? In
this new book, you will
find the answers to these
questions alongside other
information, such as
what a tiny plaque on a
camping shop can tell us
about the origins of
broadcasting in Wales,
and the story of the
humble row of
19th-century working
class homes that won an
architectural award some
150 years after their
construction. In his
latest book on the
history of Cardiff,
Dennis Morgan explains
the stories that lie
behind these memories of
Cardiff in bygone days.
The book is well
illustrated with 200
pictures, many of which
have not appeared in
print before. It is an
ideal volume for everyone
who is interested in the
fascinating story of the
capital city of Wales.

No evidence remained on
the bodies of Alun
Pitcher, a well-liked,
wealthy, careful and
cautious businessman,
and his family after
they'd been wrapped in
brown paper and string,
doused in petrol and
ignited. The fires had
destroyed any evidence,
or so the pathologist and
the local police
believed. Defeated, the
local force asks for
outside help. Following
success in solving a
previous 'cold' case,
Inspector Trevor Joseph
and Sergeant Peter
Collins are called in.
Their superiors trust
them to provide answers
to the questions that
have confounded the local
force. Did the murderer
or murderers possess
knowledge of police
procedure and criminal
investigative methods
that have resulted in the
perfect, unsolvable
crime? Why would anyone
want to kill a well-liked
family who have no known
enemies? How did the
murderer or murderers
overcome three grown men
and a woman without
anyone seeing anything,
or hearing a sound? And,
most important of all,
was all the evidence
really destroyed?

For the first time in
English, Mark Walker
presents a verse
translation of the
twelfth-century epic poem
by Geoffrey of Monmouth,
the originator of many of
the Arthurian legends
familiar to us today.
Here is the original
Merlin - a mysterious and
mad character inspired by
ancient Welsh legends.
But he is also a king, a
prophet, and a modern
Renaissance man. This
brand-new translation
casts Geoffrey's Latin
into accessible English
hexameter verse, giving
readers a feel for the
rhythms of the original.
The extensive
introduction sets the
poem in the context of
Geoffrey's life and
writings, while each
chapter opens with
helpful background
material. Turn back the
pages of time and
discover the mythical,
magical world of the
original Merlin.

Leading embroidery
authors Valerie
Campbell-Harding and
Maggie Grey translate the
richness of Celtic
imagery into fabric,
textiles and stitched
work using machine
embroidery. The visual
Celtic elements from fine
manuscripts, metalwork
and stone sculpture -
spirals, knots, plaits,
lettering, interlacings
and meanders - are
brought to life through
designs that start simply
and build up to more
complex pieces. The book
gives detailed
information on the design
process, then progresses
to stitch, with plenty
of new ideas as well as
new slants on old
favourites. A final
chapter shows you how to
put together finished
pieces and - should it
all go wrong - how to
redeem an uninteresting
piece. The authors
encourage readers not
just to copy existing
designs but, through
experimentation and
stitch samples, to make
the work their own.

Compton Castle is a
Victorian psychiatric
hospital long overdue for
demolition. Its warrens
of rooms and acres of
grounds, originally
designed as a sanctuary
for the mentally ill,
now provide the ideal
stalking ground for a
serial killer. Physically
and mentally battered
after his last case,
Sergeant Trevor Joseph is
a temporary inmate - but
the hospital loses all
therapeutic benefit when
a corpse is dug out of a
flowerbed. Then more
bodies are found; young,
female and both linked to
the hospital. Everyone
within the mouldering
walls is in danger while
a highly unpredictable
malevolence remains at
large. And, as patients
and staff are
interrogated by the
police, the apparently
motiveless killer watches
and waits for the
opportunity to strike
again...The pit reeks of
rot and decay. Staring
upwards she can see the
sky, the moon, the
trees and the silhouette
of her killer as earth is
shovelled over her.
Another shower comes
down...There can be no
more fight for air - for
anything. Only a soft
blackness that caresses
and envelops, plunging
her into the darkest
oblivion of all. Now she
knows that she is going
to die.

Bill Struth is the most
celebrated Manager in the
history of Rangers
Football Club. In his 34
year tenure, he led the
club to 30 major trophies
and nurtured many of the
club's greatest players.
To them, he was simply
'Mr. Struth' - a father
figure who guided them
with the principle that,
'... to be a Ranger is to
sense the sacred trust of
upholding all that such a
name means in this shrine
of football.' If these
words set the ideals for
his players to attain,
his own personal life was
clouded by moments of
indiscretion which were
to influence the course
of his life and career.
Drawing on family
accounts and Rangers
archives, the book
explores his early life
in Edinburgh and Fife,
as well as his celebrated
years in Glasgow. It
recounts his career in
professional athletics
and in football with
Heart of Midlothian,
Clyde and ultimately,
Rangers. It reflects on
the legacy of the Struth
era and his influences
that remain at Ibrox
today.

A bloodstained man runs
half naked down a
motorway at night dodging
high-speed traffic - and
worse. Cornered by
police, admitted to a
psychiatric ward
suffering from
trauma-induced amnesia,
all he can recall is a
detailed knowledge of
sophisticated weaponry
and military techniques
that indicates a
background in terrorism.
When two armed soldiers
guarding his room are
murdered and Dr Elizabeth
Santer, the psychiatrist
assigned to his case, is
abducted at gunpoint a
desperate hunt begins for
a dangerous killer.
Terrorist - murderer -
kidnapper - thief
whatever he is, he
remembers a town in Wales
and it is to Wales he
drags Elizabeth Santer
with the security forces
in all-out pursuit.
There, a violent and
bloody confrontation
exposes a horrifying
story of treachery and
political cover-up. Is
Elizabeth in the hands of
a homicidal terrorist or
an innocent pawn? Her
life depends on the right
answer. He continued to
dodge between vans,
trucks, cars; fearful
lest his assailants had
reached the motorway.
Running - running - his
heart hammering so
fiercely he wondered why
it hadn't burst. Blood
surged through his veins,
the drumbeat of pulses
beating time with his
footfalls as he swerved
from lane to lane, and
still they kept coming.
Weaving...roaring...blasting...until
a single soft sound
alerted every fibre of
his being. His eyes
strained. He searched
wildly for safety. There
was none. He ducked as
another crack echoed
towards him...

to uncover a network of
conflicts, betrayals and
depravity that resonates

Jubilee Street - the
haunt of addicts and
vagrants is a part of
town to avoid at all
costs, especially when
it becomes the stalking
ground of a brutal and
ruthless murderer. A
drunken down and out is
the first casualty,
mutilated and burned
alive but his grisly
death raises even more
problems for the
investigating officers,
Sergeants Trevor Joseph
and Peter Collins. They
discover that their
victim died two years
earlier. So who is the
dead man? And what was
the motive for the
bizarre crime? While they
seek a killer in the dark
urban underworld, the
tally of corpses grows
and the only certainty is
that they can trust no
man's face as his own. He
froze. His mouth opened
but uttered no sound. The
corpse of the young man
was sitting bolt upright,
the sheet draped in
folds around its waist.
The torso was white,
finely muscled, the
porcelain quality of the
skin gleaming in glaring
contrast to the purple
and blue pulp where the
face had been. The
attendant continued to
gaze, mesmerized. One
word echoed through his
mind as the scream
finally tore from deep

'Welshmen are lovers of
peace but they are
defenders of liberty, '
said David Lloyd George.
And whatever the rights
and wrongs of the Great
War's call to arms,
there is no denying the
impact of that war on
Wales. There is no
denying either the impact
that Wales itself had
upon the war. Out of the
Fire of Hell is an
anthology that describes
and distils Welsh
experiences of the First
World War. In poetry and
prose, these are the
testimonies both of those
who fought and those who
stood and waited on the
home front. They are the
embattled and emotive
confessions of public
figures and unsung heroes
alike, the harrowing and
humorous observations of
both officer and priavte
- and of their loved
ones. Many of the pieces
included are translations
of the work of some of
the major Welsh-language
writers of the early
twentieth century, like
Hedd Wyn, Cynan and
Saunders Lewis. These
stand side-by-side with
great Welsh names of the
English tradition, like
Edward Thomas, Wilfred
Owen and T.E. Lawrence,
whilst there is room also
for Englishmen who
identified very closely
with the Welsh
experience, like Ivor
Gurney and Robert Graves.
The anthology is
illustrated by striking
black-and-white
photographs, visual
reminders of who these
people were and what they
had to endure.

Thatcher swept to power

King's Cross station was
the terminus of the Great
Northern Railway and was
opened in 1852. Designed
by Lewis Cubitt, it
replaced a temporary
station at Maiden Lane.
It established itself as
the London terminus of
what is now known as the
East Coast Main Line to
Edinburgh. From 1862, at
10 a.m. every weekday,
the Flying Scotsman left
King's Cross for the
north, initially taking
over ten hours to
complete the journey but
now taking only four
hours from Edinburgh to
London. Some of Britain's
most famous locomotives,
from the Ivatt Atlantics
to the A3 and A4
Pacifics, Deltics and
HSTs, have sped north
from King's Cross.The
underground station below
the main line station
encompasses six lines and
was the scene of the
disastrous King's Cross
fire in 1987, following
which it was rebuilt.
King's Cross itself has
been redeveloped many
times over the years,
and a fictional platform
(9 3/4) made famous in
the Harry Potter novels.
Its Grade 1 listed facade
has been revamped and the

Britain's late-Victorian
landscape re-projected
and enlarged to match the
present-day Ordnance
Survey Landrangers?.
These maps are taken from
Ordnance Survey's Revised
New Series (in colour)
maps which were first

and 1904. They have all
been carefully scanned,
digitally re-projected
and enlarged to match the
present-day Ordnance
Survey Landranger?
series. Each Cassini
Popular Edition map is
directly comparable with
the corresponding
Ordnance Survey
Landranger? and uses the
same sheet number and
grid references, so
enabling the past and the
present to be compared
with ease and accuracy.

Everyone has to make
decisions about love.
Wilfred Price, overcome
with emotion on a sunny
spring day, proposes to
a girl he barely knows at
a picnic. The girl,
Grace, joyfully accepts
and rushes to tell her
family of Wilfred's
intentions. But by this
time Wilfred has realised
his mistake. He does not
love Grace. On the verge
of extricating himself,
Wilfred's situation
suddenly becomes more
serious when Grace's
father steps in. Up until
this point in his life,
Wilfred's existence has
been blissfully simple,
and the young undertaker
seems unable to stop the
swirling mess that now
surrounds him. To add to
Wilfred's emotional
turmoil, he thinks he
may just have met the
perfect girl for him. As
Wilfred struggles in an
increasingly tangled web
of expectation and duty,
love and lies, Grace
reveals a long-held
secret that changes
everything... Wendy
Jones's charming first
novel is a moving
depiction of love and
secrecy, set against the
rural backdrop of a 1920s
Welsh village, and
beautifully told.
