This is almost all of what survives of a journal Colin Perry kept between March & November 1940 when he was eighteen years old written in his home in Tooting & in the City of London where he worked. The journal was never intended for publication it is only the youthful untrained outpourings of a proud & totally insignificant Londoner. It spans what the Air Ministry was to call.. .the Great Days from 8 August
- 31 October 1940 & the fifty-seven nights when the bombing of London was unceasing. This is the period enshrined in our history as the Battle of Britain the most momentous year for Britain in the twentieth century.

On 21st September 2001 the mutilated torso of a small child was found floating beside Londons Tower Bridge one tide away from being swept into the North Sea. Unable to identify the victim the Murder Squad turned to Richard Hoskins a young professor of theology with a profound understanding of African tribal religion whose own past was scarred by a heartbreaking tragedy. Thus began a journey into the tangled undergrowth of one of the most notorious murder cases of recent years; a journey which would reveal not only the identity of the boy they called Adam but the horrific truth that a succession of innocent children have been ritually sacrificed in our capital city. Insightful & grippingly written The Boy in the River is an inside account of a series of extraordinary criminal investigations & a compelling personal quest into the dark heart of humanity. ...

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about. If you do start to read this book you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. (Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) & sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. We hope you never have to cross such a fence. ...
