'A riveting take on an extraordinary relationship' - Richard Eden, Daily Mail'A fresh and original approach' - Hugo Vickers, Royal BiographerShe was 'sugar pink' innocence; he was a handsome war hero. Both had royal blood coursing through their veins. The marriage of Britain's Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in November 1947 is remembered as the beginning of an extraordinary, lifelong union but success was not guaranteed. Elizabeth and Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarchy plunges us back into the 1940s when a teenage princess fell in love with a foreign prince. Cue fears of a flirtatious 'Greek' fortune hunter stealing off with Britain's crown jewel and Philip's supporters scrambling to reframe him as a good fit for the Royal Family. Drawing on original newspaper archives and the opinions of Elizabeth and Philip's contemporaries, historian Dr Tessa Dunlop discovers a post-war world on the cusp of major change. Unprecedented polling on Philip's suitability was a harbinger of pressures to come for a couple whose marriage was branded the ultimate global fairytale. Theirs was a partnership like no other. Six years after Elizabeth promised to be an obedient wife Philip got down on bended knee at the coronation and committed himself as the Queen's 'liege man of life and limb.' Published 75 years after their marriage, this deeply touching history explores the ups and downs, the public appeal and the private tensions that defined an extraordinary relationship. The high stakes involved might have devoured a less committed pair - but Elizabeth and Philip shared a common purpose, one higher even than marriage, with roots much deeper than young love. Happy and Glorious, for better or for worse, how did their union succeed? Monarchy was the magic word.
One cryptic note. Two missing parents. Zero ordinary answers, and a magical world he never expected. Ben Greenwood’s life turned upside down the day his parents vanished—leaving behind nothing but questions. But when a mysterious letter arrives out of the blue, it changes everything. The letter points Ben toward a strange organisation he’s never heard of: the Royal Institute of Magic. Suddenly, he’s thrown into a realm where spells are bought and sold, magical creatures roam the streets, and danger lurks around every corner. To uncover the truth, Ben must dig into an ancient family secret—and face a dark force the Institute has been fighting for centuries. But if he fails, he will lose any chance of putting his world back together. Victor Kloss’s Elizabeth’s Legacy is the first book in the Royal Institute of Magic series—a thrilling adventure for young readers who love fantastical stories, spellbinding worlds, and unforgettable heroes. Can Ben discover the truth before it’s too late? ______________________________________________ Praise for the Royal Institute of Magic series: ? ? ? ? ? a cross between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson in that the characters are always on the move at a sort of breathless pace. ? ? ? ? ? … you don't have to be a magical creature to use magic. Cool. ? ? ? ? ? Wonderful Read! Not just for kids, adults will enjoy it just as much! ? ? ? ? ? … a great sense of adventure, the story line never lagged, and his characters are well defined. ? ? ? ? ? It's kind of like a steam-punk version of magic… ? ? ? ? ? … original with diverse characters and enough action and mystery to entertain teens to adults. ? ? ? ? ? It is honestly one of the few books that I have enjoyed as much as Harry Potter.

Elizabeth and Essex: Power, Passion, and Politics

"A sensitive and lively account of one of the most politically significant relationships of the Elizabethan age". Lisa Hopkins, author of Essex: The Life and Times of an Elizabethan Courtier.Elizabeth I is England's most iconic queen. Born to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn and declared illegitimate at two, she was also one of its unlikeliest monarchs. Though she never married, her relationships have been the stuff of Hollywood movies, biographical studies, and historical fiction.Famously a Virgin Queen, Elizabeth faced rumour, innuendo, and scandal both during her life and in the centuries since. Her relationship with her last courtly lover, however, remains mystifying. The glamorous Earl of Essex, thirty years her junior, became her inseparable companion, wrote loving letters and poetry to her, and dominated the last decade of her reign. But did he love her, or was he simply taking advantage of a vain, ageing woman?As the fabric of her reign unravelled, Elizabeth fought to keep her court under control. Using a curious system of power, patronage, and politics that had served her for decades, she struggled to maintain her hard-won sovereignty against the incursions of idealistic and factious young men.But the story of Elizabeth and Essex is not one of cynicism, and nor is it one of vanity or ambition. It is the tale of a younger man's possessive love for a woman who had to refashion herself as a new queen in an old kingdom.Theirs was a tragic game of passion, jealousy, resentment, and division.He shone in the light of the Elizabethan age, and she was its fading sun.Drawing on letters, legal records, poetry, and scholarly debates, Steven Veerapen reveals a saga of courtly love, political machination, and simmering power struggles. In doing so, he recovers Elizabeth and Essex from the mists of rumour and speculation and reveals them as they were. Essex was neither fool nor cynical manipulator, but the era's last folk hero. She was not a white-painted harridan, but an astute and beguiling woman whom time was leaving behind.The story of Elizabeth I's last years requires reassessment. By re-framing her as a woman forced into the role of history's Virgin Queen and Essex as the loving and beloved star which threatened her eclipse, Elizabeth and Essex provides a new perspective on England's most famous queen.Steven Veerapen holds a Ph.D. in Elizabethan literature and is the author of Blood Feud: The Story of Mary Queen of Scots and the Earl of Moray, A Dangerous Trade: An Elizabethan Spy Thriller and The Abbey Close Mystery Series.Praise for Steven Veerapen: "A slow-burn character driven spy story that grips like a thumbscrew tightened by twist after twist towards the end - Le Carre transported to the 1560's. Brilliant work, based in impressively wide research and the kind of competition that I and a good number of others could well do without " Peter Tonkin, author of A Stage For Murder"Much-needed analysis of a sinister sibling rivalry." Marie Macpherson, author of The First Blast of the Trumpet
Collected Stories of Elizabeth Bowen: Introduction by John Banville
Elizabeth Bowen

A beautiful hardcover edition of the collected short stories of "one of the best short story writers who ever lived" (Newsweek)--with an introduction by the Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea.Widely known for her extraordinary novels, including The Heat of the Day, The House in Paris, and The Death of the Heart, Elizabeth Bowen established herself in the front rank of twentieth-century writers equally through her short fiction. This collection includes seventy-nine magnificent stories written over the course of four decades, including such beloved classics as "Mysterious K r," "The Demon Lover," "Summer Night," "Ivy Gripped the Steps," and "The Happy Autumn Fields." Whether placing her reader in a remote Irish castle or a seaside Italian villa or bomb-scarred London during the Blitz, Bowen was famous for scene setting of almost hallucinatory vividness, but her ability to evoke inner landscapes of spellbinding intensity was even more remarkable. Frustrated lovers, acutely observed children, and even vengeful ghosts inhabit her tales with an urgency and emotional complexity that make it clear that the drama of human consciousness was her central subject. These stories are enduring testimony to Bowen's reputation as a creator of finely chiseled narratives--rich in imagination, psychological insight, and craft--that transcend their time and place.
