A Christmas To
Remember
£2.00
A few days before Christmas Tess Williams rushes into Albert Payne’s tobacconist shop, with two boys in hot pursuit, saying she’s a thief. Albert chases the boys away, & though Tess does not realise it, this incident changes her life.

Tess lives with her grandmother, Edie, in a small flat on Heyworth Street in Norwich.

She has recently returned from Bell Farm, where she was evacuated during the war, & is being bullied by her schoolmates, but when the handsome Snowy White comes to her rescue she thinks her troubles are over, & returns for a working holiday to Bell Farm & her old friend Jonty.

This leaves Edie to her own devices, however, & Tess is jealous of the friendship which blossoms between her grandmother & the tobacconist. Yet though Tess resents Albert, it is to him she turns when things start to go wrong...

A Classical Primer

Didn?t take classics at school? Or maybe you've forgotten most of what you once knew? In which case, look no further than this small but authoritative book.

Product Description

Rob Beckett never seems to fit in. At work, in the middle-class world of television & comedy, he’s the laddie, cockney geezer, but to his mates down the pub in south-east London, he’s the theatrical one, a media luvvie. Even at home, his wife & kids are posher than him.

Will he always be that fat kid who was told he’d never be a high-flyer? Why does he feel ashamed if he does anything vaguely middle class? Will he ever favour craft beer over lager? What happens if you eat 50 olives & drink two bottles of champagne? 

In search of answers, Rob relives the moments in his life when the class divide couldn’t be more obvious. Whether it’s the gig for rich bankers that was worse than Matt Hancock hosting the GQ Men of the Year Awards or turning up at a swanky celebrity house party with a blue bag of cans from the offy.

In this hilarious exploration of class, Rob compares his life growing up as a working-class kid to the life he lives now, trying to understand where he truly belongs.
