An Abnormally Normal Childhood
Author: John Case
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 152553307X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
First in a multivolume memoir, An Abnormally Normal Childhood follows John Case from birth to the age of eighteen, regaling readers with the details of his deeds and misadventures. While he grew up in a time of depression and war, John was largely protected from the restrictions and troubles of this time, leading a free- range childhood—so long as he was dutiful to his family and religion and respected others. Childish mischief, hilarious situations, and times of fast sadness and joy fill the pages of this absorbing memoir. This is a story of the way we were, of an early childhood full of innocence and simplicity. Industriousness, ingenuity, and perseverance are brought to life in John’s tales of his youthful foibles. John’s reflections touch on topics from the life of a schoolboy during war, religion and its effects, and corporal punishment, to quiet streets and the use of horses, among other things. Told with an engaging voice and a wry sense of humour, An Abnormally Normal Childhood takes the reader on a journey back to a simpler time and place, complicated by depression and war, and to the history of a childhood now past. John’s vivid recollections—laced with humour, intelligence, and curiosity—bring people and events to life on the page, painting a vivacious picture of his early years.

The Pact
Author: Alistair Michie
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571324991
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
In 1977 Prime Minister James Callaghan and Liberal leader David Steel struck a constitutional deal, by which the Labour government could survive a vote of no confidence and get its business through Parliament, while the Liberals gained access to the anterooms of power. The Pact, a contemporaneous account of the hatching and workings of the 'Lib-Lab' deal of 1977-8, is an invaluable time-capsule of British politics but also a pointer to its future. Coalition government has oft been scorned in Britain, since - as Alistair Michie and Simon Hoggart note - the main parties regard their opponents chiefly as 'targets off which points may be scored'. But hung parliaments and inter-party deals, as revived in May of 2010, may be back to stay. This new edition of The Pact, in memory of its co-author Simon Hoggart (1946-2014), includes new prefaces by David Steel, Roy Hattersley, and the journalist Stephen Bush.

The Man Who Invented Christmas
Author: Les Standiford
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307449734
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
As uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how Charles Dickens revived the signal holiday of the Western world—now a major motion picture. Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace a book that ended with blessings for one and all. With warmth, wit, and an infusion of Christmas cheer, Les Standiford whisks us back to Victorian England, its most beloved storyteller, and the birth of the Christmas we know best. The Man Who Invented Christmas is a rich and satisfying read for Scrooges and sentimentalists alike.
