The novel 'Lambs' follows one mining family, the Lambs, over almost a century of successive generations running from the Great War of 1914-18 to the Twin Towers of 2001 and beyond. Semi-autobiographical in concept, it tells of the struggle of the family to survive the hardships of the East Midland's coalfield in Britain and its time frame encompasses the period from the wars against fascism in both Spain and Germany to the assassination of Kennedy, from the horror of Aberfan to the injustice of Orgreave. It covers a world in which the fall of kings and despots is commonplace and offsets this against the continued plight of the working man from the General Strike until the demise of the industry. Some events impinge directly upon members of the family, others merely share with them the same pages of history upon which they both happen to have been written. They are shaped by all. Throughout the book run the entwined stories of ordinary people, their lives and loves, successes and abject failures; their births and, ultimately, their deaths, in the end begging the question, "Do we ever really know anyone?"
Special 20th Anniversary Edition When Marilyn Monroe died in October 2003, she left behind the first volume of her memoirs (1926 to 1962), award-winning performances, and the memories of a thirty-five-year marriage. Now, after two and a half years of intensive research, (including interviews with noted figures such as Jane Fonda and Hilary Clinton, as well as Marilyn's children, friends, and co-workers), a detailed accounting of the second half of this incredible life can be told. Utilizing exclusive access to her personal papers granted by her family, Life Among the Cannibals 1962-2003 chronicles not only Monroe's response to the war and assassinations of the Sixties, her encounters with the likes of Janis Joplin, Pat Nixon, and Mikhail Gorbachev, but traces her evolution from sex symbol to Hollywood's Conscience. Above all, now in a special 20th Anniversary Edition, Life Among the Cannibals puts an end to the innuendo and speculation surrounding the life and career of one of the 20th century's most beloved figures. "Instead of mourning what was lost, Marshall celebrates what should have been. With this highly entertaining book, Marshall gives Marilyn Monroe the second act she surely deserved." Author Tara Hanks "David's book is absolutely terrific and well deserves a space on your bookshelves. I promise you won't be disappointed." Biographer Michelle Morgan "David Marshall has given us all a wonderful gift; a joyful chance to see what SHOULD have been, what COULD have been, as Marilyn makes her way through the rest of the 2Oth century, gaining the personal happiness and respect she always yearned for, forging friendships with some of the most influential figures of our time - and always remaining our beloved Marilyn."

David Marshall was born in Middlesbrough in 1916, and volunteered for the International Brigade in Spain in 1936. During his long life he has been a Civil Servant, a Theatre Scenery Builder and Master of the Thames sailing barge "Jock". The poems reflect his reactions to events in his personal life, and to those in the wider world and so provide a commentary on the history of our time.
Did C. S. Lewis invent Aslan because he had lost confidence in Christ? Do the Chronicles of Narnia represent a retreat into a second childhood from a confident, rational Christianity? Or has Aslan grown even bigger since Lewis wrote these "simple children's stories?" Could Lucy's wardrobe door lead to a vision of Creation, Justice, the nature of evil, global faiths, the historical Jesus, miracles, and the Resurrection, that like the song of Aslan in an empty world, can recreate our planet as well?
