Book Description
Don't miss the unforgettable new novel from Jenny Eclair - INHERITANCE is out now ___________ 'Viciously funny' Daily Mail Welcome to one of the nicest streets in one of London's vilest boroughs: a determined middle-class oasis of skips and bay trees, where Volvos sniff each others' bumpers and men called Giles live with women called Samantha. This is a satellite-dish-free zone of tall houses, standing shoulder to shoulder with big front doors, five floors apiece. Come inside, shut the door and smell the coffee: you could almost be in Kensington. This is where the actors, writers and media types live, where small children wearing smart uniforms and shoes in the shape of lightbulbs get ferried every day to schools that are not local. Some people are luckier than others; fortune smiles on some and gobs on the rest. Jo Metcalf (no. 95) smokes and spies on the smug Cunninghams down the street as they play their bile-inducing game of happy families. Why is the grass greener on the other side of the fence? But happiness is a fragile thing and hairline cracks in a perfect world can become craters of misery . . . Full of comic insight and realistic observation of contemporary British life, this is the debut novel from Sunday Times bestseller Jenny Eclair. _____________________ PRAISE FOR JENNY ECLAIR: 'Wonderfully written, insightful and riveting' Daily Mail 'Both heart-rending and compelling' Clare Mackintosh 'SO immersive, atmospheric and compelling' Marian Keyes 'Witty, moving, dark and absorbing' Jo Brand 'An elegant, gripping and mesmeric read' Helen Lederer 'An absolute page-turner of a story' Judy Finnigan 'Compelling, compassionate and keenly observed' Independent

Book Description
The work of the artists belonging to the Camden Town School and Euston Road Group is well recorded but until now, no work of substance on the many hundreds of teachers and students who flocked to Camberwell during the post-war years has been published. With the publication of Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts Geoff Hassell has produced a valuable record of a unique period in British art. Victor Pasmore, William Coldstream and John Minton were among the charismatic teachers who attracted so many talented students, including mature ex-servicemen, to study at Camberwell. Many of the painters to emerge from this fertile period have since become household names, such as Terry Frost, Anthony Eyton and Euan Uglow. Many have yet to be discovered and their work, painterly and decorative, characteristic and wholly redolent of the time and place, is a credit to the scope and range of the influences exerted by the School. This book provides an essential and indispensable point of reference for all collectors of 20th century British art. As well as a brief history of the School and a dictionary section, containing biographical details of over 300 pupils and teachers of the period, 'Memories of Camberwell', a selection of students' reminiscences, emphasises their enthusiasm and inspiration.

Avoid cheap photocopies that are difficult to read and have poor image quality! FamLoc is the only publisher to properly republish local history books. First published in 1875 as "Ye Parish of Camerwell" (note the ancient spelling), History of the Parish of Camberwell includes Peckham, Nunhead, Dulwich, East Dulwich, part of Herne Hill, and of course Camberwell itself. This FamLoc edition has been amended slightly from the original. There has been the inevitable changes to format and structure, and the illustrations have been moved to coincide better with the text. Although some of the punctuation has been changed, particularly with respect to the many quotations, the prose has been faithfully retained, other than changes to a handful of typographical errors and the very few instances where clarity was required. The footnotes of the original have been incorporated into the new Notes chapter at the end of the book, the annotated text being underlined. History of the Parish of Camberwell vol I contains more than 500 pages, and has a wealth of interesting facts and info, including the origins of the names of streets and places, geology, parochial history, churches and chapels, population, influential individuals and families, schools, transport, charities, and much more. It will be of great interest to local historians, family historians, and others with connections to Camberwell and its surrounding area.

Book Description
An accessible history of the Roma people in England told from the inside. The Romany people have been variously portrayed as exotic strangers or as crude, violent, delinquent “gypsies.” For the first time, this book describes the real history of the Romany in England from the inside. Drawing on new archival and first-hand research, Jeremy Harte vividly describes the itinerant life of the Romany as well as their artistic traditions, unique language, and flamboyant ceremonies. Travelers through Time tells the dramatic story of Romany life on the British margins from Tudor times through today, filled with vivid insights into the world of England’s large Romany population.
