Toast
£7.99
‘ My mother is scraping a piece of burned toast out of the kitchen window, a crease of annoyance across her forehead. This is not an occasional occurrence. My mother burns the toast as surely as the sun rises each morning.’

‘ Toast’ is Nigel Slater’s award-winning biography of a childhood remembered through food. Whether recalling his mother’s surprisingly good rice pudding, his father’s bold foray into spaghetti & his dreaded Boxing Day stew, or such culinary highlights as Arctic Roll & Grilled Grapefruit (then considered something of a status symbol in Wolverhampton), this remarkable memoir vividly recreates daily life in 1960s suburban Engl&.

Likes & dislikes, aversions & sweet-toothed weaknesses form a fascinating backdrop to Nigel Slater’s incredibly moving & deliciously evocative portrait of childhood, adolescence & sexual awakening.

To War With Wellington

What made Arthur, Duke of Wellington the military genius who was never defeated in battle? In the vivid narrative style that is his trademark, Peter Snow recalls how Wellington evolved from a backward, sensitive schoolboy into the aloof but brilliant commander-in-chief. He tracks the development of Wellington's leadership and his relationship with the extraordinary band of men he led from Portugal in 1808 to the final destruction of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. Having described his soldiers as the 'scum of the earth', Wellington transformed them into the finest fighting force of their time. Digging deep into the rich treasure trove of diaries and journals that make this war the first in history to be so well recorded, Snow examines Wellington's prickly relationship with
generals such as the irascible Thomas Picton and the ruthless 'Black Bob' Craufurd, cavalrymen like the daredevil Fred Ponsonby, and soldiers including jaunty Irishman Ned Costello and failed actor Thomas Todd. Using many first-hand accounts, Snow describes the horror and the humanity of life in and out of battle, and he explains how Wellington mastered the battlefield to beat Napoleon and change the future of Europe.
