The Portrait is set mainly in the summer and autumn of 1928, and opens in France where Richard Anderson, a wealthy publisher and writer is researching for a book he is writing on his home, a 17th century manor house in Berkshire, which has undergone major renovations after it being empty for almost hundred years. Whilst in France he meets Yvette, a young French woman, and after a whirlwind romance they return to England, with plans to marry some weeks later. On their arrival at the manor, Yvette sees a portrait hanging in the sitting room and asks Richard about it. He tells her of the tragic life of Thomas Courtney, the young squire of the manor in the 1820’s, and of the loss of his wife Catherine, leading to his eventual suicide. However, Richard could never have imagined the effect this was to have on Yvette. From that point she becomes obsessed with the story, having vivid dreams and imaginings, with the result that tragedy lies in wait.

Now in its tenth year, Reflections for Daily Prayer is a highly valued daily Bible companion based on the Common Worship Lectionary. Each day, Monday to Saturday, some of the very best writers from across the Anglican tradition offer insightful, informed and inspiring reflections on one of the day’s readings for Morning Prayer. Their reflections will appeal to anyone who values both the companionship of daily Bible notes and the structure of the Lectionary. For every day (excluding Sundays) of the 2017/18 church year, there are full references and a quotation from the day’s set of Scripture readings, a concise but challenging commentary on the readings and a collect. In addition, the book includes a simple order for morning and night prayer, an introduction to the practice of daily prayer by Bishop John Pritchard and a guide to reading the Bible reflectively by Bishop Stephen Cottrell.
In "Dawn and the Darkest Hour," poet and author George Woodcock explores the famously complex life and career of Aldous Huxley. A brilliant and satirical novelist of ideas; a popular journalist and essayist on scientific and political subjects; a prophet of the future ("Brave New World"); a pioneer of psychedelic experimentation ("The Doors of Perception"), Huxley was a man plagued by excessive intellectual curiosity and a withdrawn melancholic nature. In the dramatic range of his characters and the encyclopedic quality of his thought, Huxley expressed some of the most interesting and disturbing commentary about the condition of human beings and their relationship to society.As Woodcock traced the progress of Huxley's works, he recognized attempts to bring about a synthesis of knowledge "that would give total meaning to existence." In this striking and encompassing critical biography, Woodcock persuasively asks us to reconsider Huxley's works as the stages of "a spiritual pilgrimage," as he demonstrates that Huxley's entire remarkable "oeuvre" must be taken as a whole, as a unified "movement out of darkness toward light." It is a fascinating journey that provides a window into Huxley's life and character, that shows an intellectual continually striving for knowledge--intuitive, scientific and otherwise--and as such, is certain to renew interest in one of the most the most important and influential minds of the twentieth century.George Woodcock (1912 1995)--award-winning poet, author, essayist and widely known as a literary journalist and historian--published more than 90 titles on history, biography, philosophy, poetry and literary criticism.
