The editors of the best-selling rediscovered Tolkien novel Roverandom present an expanded edition of Tolkien's beloved classic Farmer Giles of Ham, complete with a map, the original story outline, the original first-edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes, and the author's notes for an unpublished sequel. Farmer Giles of Ham is a light-hearted satire for readers of all ages that tells the tale of a reluctant hero who must save his village from a dragon. It is a small gem of a tale that grows more delightful with each rereading.
A beautiful, informative book, illustrated with black and white and colour photographs. Sitting majestically atop the ridge of Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, St Giles’ looks imposingly down upon Scotland’s capital. It has been at the centre to some of the most significant moments in Scotland’s history and centre-stage to some of its biggest players. This book, based on new research, tells the story of Scotland’s most famous church from its foundation in the 1120s through the 17th-century Prayer Book riot, the writing of the Covenant in 1638, the execution of Montrose and Argyll, becoming the seat of the Order of the Thistle to the current culmination of an ambitious thirty-year renewal programme which has brought colour and light to a living church. St Giles’ is home not only to its own congregation but also to regular civic and national services, not to mention nearly half a million visitors a year.

Reviews of previous works by Neil S. Reddy -It is now clear that Reddy writes with a distinct panache and flair for the bizarre and we urge him to continue to woo us with his distinct style and imagination.Reddy invites you to dive head-first into his weird and wonderful psyche.Yet again, Reddy promises us fits of raucous laughter, shock and gasping smiles, as in Prepare for carnage, as Reddy is about to wave his creative wand.Reddy is now in fifth gear. This is on another level.Reddy certainly delivers in this genre and executes his imagination with dynamic precision.'This is a brave and audacious delivery of literary genius. There is never a dull moment in the execution of Reddy's creativity and we applaud him for it. He just knows how to affect us with his writing craft, no doubt about it, We never tire or feel disappointed with Reddy's linguistic choices.'
One of the original disciples of Saint Francis, Blessed Giles of Assisi preached a message of poverty and penance throughout Italy, the Holy Land, and North Africa before turning to a life of contemplation. His Life, here edited and translated by Walter Seton, offers valuable perspectives on this devout man, who strove not just to follow but to embody the Franciscan Rule. Seton analyses the sources for the short and long versions of the Life, arguing influentially that the Short Life represents the earlier, more authentic recension. His 1918 edition was based upon a previously unnoticed version of the Short Life contained in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Canonici Misc. 528. Facing-page Latin and English make the text accessible to students and experts alike. A vital addition to Franciscan studies when first published, this important work is now available to a new generation of scholars.

History of the Amanda Giles Lee and Robert Culpepper Lee family for 100 years from Anson County, North Carolina to Texas to Arizona and Colorado
Bill Giles oversaw one of the greatest eras of winning that the Philadelphia Phillies ever enjoyed. In Bill Giles and Baseball, John Lord chronicles Giles' remarkable career--which includes 44 years with the Phillies--to provide an insider's view of the business of the sport, which takes place off the field. Based on extensive interviews, Bill Giles and Baseball spans Giles' life from his childhood growing up in the game to the tumultuous years he spent as the president and managing partner of the Phillies. Purchasing the team in 1981, when baseball experienced its first serious labor stoppages, Giles also watched baseball add franchises, grapple with franchise fees, realign the leagues, and restructure baseball's postseason. Yet Giles, the public face of the Phillies championship teams of 1980, 1983, and 1993, is best remembered for his critical role in creating innovative TV deals, and leading the efforts to build the Phillies' beautiful new ballpark. A book about the business of baseball as seen through the eyes of one of the architects of the game, Bill Giles and Baseball captures the spectacle of the sport through fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of our national pastime.
