In 1953 at the age of 41 Kathleen Ferrier Englands greatest lyric contralto lost her courageous battle with breast cancer. Her huge appeal to a wide audience
- in concerts on records on the radio & in the opera house
- has ensured her name endures to this day despite a career which lasted barely ten years. In just half that time this former telephone exchange operator was singing on stage at Covent Garden before royalty at private parties & at New Yorks Carnegie Hall. This collection of letters & twelve years of her personal diaries was first published by Boydell Press in 2003. Here an enlarged paperback edition contains a new chapter revealing her growing importance to the BBC an additional 90 letters together with much revised material & a selection of moving tributes. Published to mark the centenary of her birth in 1912 the book of more than 400 letters provides a vivid picture of a life which illuminated the war & post-war years of austerity & hardship. Kathleen Ferrier was surely fun to know. Her personality was a mix of extreme modesty & self-determined ambition topped with a mischievously blunt sense of earthy Lancastrian humour. She is known for her glorious voice but through the pages of these fascinating letters & diaries we get to meet the real person. DR CHRISTOPHER FIFIELD is a conductor music historian lecturer & broadcaster. He is the biographer of Max Bruch (Boydell Press 2005) & conductor Hans Richter & the author of a history of the music agents Ibbs & Tillett.

It was if they came from another planet reflected one Suffolk farm worker remembering the arrival of the Yanks in 1944. They took the place by storm! recalled an old lady
- with a twinkle in her eye because more than the place it was the young women they took. The tall courteous big-spending strangers often became the first love & sometimes the love of a life. In Over Here" Jack Rosenthal tells the story of one such romance particularly significant to him as he would become its offspring. Using letters preserved by his mother Rosenthal reconstructs the relationship from the day of its beginning in March 1944 to its culmination in marriage in July 1945. With the stories behind linked weddings the narrative ranges from a dramatic escape after the fall of Hong Kong to the nightmares of the Arctic convoys & is supported by lively insights into the histories & social circumstances of the four families involved."

Sixty years after the first ascent of Mount Everest this unique book of letters celebrates in a very personal way this most majestic of mountains. With exclusive access to the private archives of pioneering New Zealand climber George Lowe this is a welcome tribute to an unsung hero. The conquest of Everest in the summer of 1953 was one of the twentieth-century's greatest triumphs of exploration. George Lowe's exploits on the mountain would become legendary. He was one of the lead climbers forging the route up Everest's Lhotse Face without oxygen & later cutting steps for his partners up the summit ridge. In this touching book a trove of unpublished letters from the Lowe collection are brought together for the first time to describe the day-by-day moments of this historic expedition as never before. In clear & elegant prose this is a unique testimony of a superlative human achievement. ...
