Books Autobiographies From brutal schooldays to 80s anarchy, through The Young Ones & beyond, Berserker! is the one-of-a-kind, fascinating memoir from an icon of British comedy, Adrian Edmondson. Berserker [noun]: A Norse warrior frenzied in battle & held to be invulnerable; often off his tits on henbane & large quantities of alcohol; one who is out of control with anger or excitement. Ade Edmondson smashed onto the comedy circuit in the 1980s, stormed The Comedy Store &, alongside Rik Mayall, brought anarchy to stage & screen. How did a child brought up in a strict Methodist household – & who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools – end up joining the revolution? Well, he is part Norse. Could it be his ‘berserker’ heritage? With wisdom, nostalgia & uniquely observed humour, Ade traces his journey through life & comedy: starting out on the alternative scene, getting arrested in Soho, creating his outrageously violent characters & learning more about his curious (possibly Scandinavian) heritage. With star-studded anecdotes & set to a soundtrack of pop hits which transport the reader through time, it’s a memoir like no other.

Bess of Hardwick was one of the most remarkable women of the Tudor era. Gently-born in reduced circumstances, she was married at 15, wedded at 16 & still a virgin. At 19 she married a man more than twice her age, Sir William Cavendish, a senior auditor in King Henry VIII's Court of Augmentations. Responsible for seizing church properties for the crown during the Dissolution, Cavendish enriched himself in the process. During the reign of King Edward VI, Cavendish was the Treasurer to the boy king & sisters & he & Bess moved in the highest levels of society. They had a London home & built Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. After Cavendish's death her third husband was poisoned by his brother. Bess' 4th marriage to the patrician George, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, Earl Marshall of Engl&, made Bess one of the most important women at court. Her shrewd business acumen was a byword & she was said to have 'a masculine understanding', in that age when women had little education & few legal rights. The Earl's death made her arguably the wealthiest & therefore
- next to the Queen
- the most powerful woman in the country. This book has 555 pages & is 19.7cm x 12.8cm x 3.7cm
