An exhilarating new collection of stories by the author of Richard & Judy-bestseller ' Notes from an Exhibition', combining wit & poignancy to illuminate experiences both common & uncommon. Love (and loathing) within families is dissected
- a father makes an unexpected discovery about his son which is too hard for him to cope with. A son wreaks revenge through the power of cookery. Three generations of the same family gain freedom through the years in a once-despised caravan. A bored wife finds happiness when an old lag teaches her the art of angling. A dog-training lesson with a puppy who hasn't grasped the meaning of 'obedience' leads to the discovery of a murder. Here too are music & silence
- the sweetness & sadness of festivals, of the Church & of the control exercised by those in charge in small communities. This tremendously enjoyable collection of stories has the same wit, tenderness & acute psychological observation as Gale's bestselling novels, including NOTES FROM AN EXHIBITION & the recent THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH. For Gale's many fans, GENTLEMAN'S RELISH is certain to be a real treat.

This is a tale of money, gambling & sporting obsession; of rogues & rascals, outrageous criminality, aristocratic complacency, & a gripping investigation to expose the most audacious sporting plot of the age. In the early 1840s, Britain was the gambling capital of Europe & the Epsom Derby was attracting countless spectators & many millions of pounds in wagers. It was a time of frenzied speculation, high stakes & low morals. But as the unprincipled Regency era gave way to the high-mindedness of the Victorian period, reformers decided it was time to challenge the murky world of illegal gambling & in 1844, launched the far-reaching Parliamentary Enquiry. When the Derby of the same year ended in chaos, with the two favourite horses doped, the Turfs most dedicated follower & greatest tyrant Lord George Bentinck, took it upon himself to uncover the truth of what happened that day, which led to one of the most sensational court cases of the 19th century. A compelling detective story peopled with low-life aristocrats & high-minded reformers, GENTLEMEN & BLACKGUARDS paints a rich picture of early Victorian society, bringing to light an overlooked turning point in British history. ...
