Mr Wickham turned out to be a disappointing husband in many ways, the most notable being his early demise on the battlefields of Waterloo. & so Lydia Wickham, nee Bennet, still not twenty & ever-full of an enterprising spirit, must make her fortune independently. A lesser woman, without Lydia's natural ability to flirt uproariously on the dancefloor & cheat seamlessly at the card table, would swoon in the wake of a dashing highwayman, a corrupt banker & even an amorous Royal or two. But on the hunt for a marriage that will make her rich, there's nothing that Lydia won't turn her hand to... Taking in London, Paris & Brighton, Who Needs Mr Darcy? details the charming, lively & somewhat dastardly further exploits of the youngest Bennet sister. Pride & Prejudice this isn't & Mr Darcy certainly won't be rescuing her this time. ...

The debate about who has the right to call themselves a Geordie is still raging. Is it a name that can be used only by people who hail from Newcastle? Or can anyone born in the vicinity of the River Tyne lay claim to it? Or should it just be reserved for the miners of Northumberland and/or County Durham. Or perhaps the only thing you need to do legitimately call yourself a Geordie is a sticker reading ' Gan canny divvent dunsh us' on your car. The fact that there is no consensus as to what actually constitutes being a Geordie, however, is not going to deter us form asking the question ' Who wants to be a Geordie?' This quiz book will use the term in its broadest sense & will offer 500 multiple choice questions spread over ten differently themed sections that cover all aspects of that north-east corner of England that can loosely be termed Geordie-l&. ...

Who Was Hurricane Higgins? By Tony Francis

For all his faults, Higgins was, for a time, the most loved sportsman in Britain. He remains a legend and the most outstanding, charismatic snooker player who ever walked into an arena. Francis traces his crazy life from the time as a baby he was kept in a hoe box in his mother's top drawer, to the sheltered accommodation in Sandy Row, Belfast where he died. If you want to know what kind of man could mesmerise and terrorise his way to the top; be acclaimed by millions one moment and literally thrown out of the pub the next; die in pitiful isolation yet be celebrated by thousands lining the streets in what amounted to a state funeral, the Who Was Hurricane Higgins? is a must-read.
