My Family and Other ScousersThis evocative memoir recalls the long, heady days of Liverpool in the summer of 1969, as seen through the eyes of eleven-year-old Deejay. Infused with a distinctive Scouse sense of humour, this book tells the story of how Deejay fi lled his summer holiday with his mischievous gang of young friends and working at Wellington Dairy, the family-owned, horse-drawn milk business located in the Liverpool suburb of Garston. Amusing and entertaining, surprising and sometimes moving, Deejay’s account vividly captures one boy’s growing appreciation of the family history. (256pp, paperback)

Swinging Britain: Fashion in the 1960sAs Britain emerged from the post-war years of austerity, like a black and white fi lm changing to colour the country was swept by a tidal wave of change. The most visible sign of this social revolution was the fashion scene, with fi gures such as Mary Quant, John Stephen, Cathy McGowan, David Bailey, Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton infl uencing every aspect of life and culture. This lively account of the exciting time, illustrated with colour photographs of pop stars (The Kinks, The Who etc.), fashion icons and boutiques such as Lord John and I Was Lord Kitchener’s Valet, captures a unique period in our country’s history. (96pp, hardback)

Recipes & Rhymes This is a unique and rather wonderful cookery book in which every recipe is based on a traditional nursery rhyme or a well-loved poem. Children will love making delicious and inventive new dishes such as Simple Simon Pies, Jolly Ginger Buns and Hot Dragon Toasts. This is real cookery that any child can manage by themselves or with the occasional helping hand from a parent or grown-up. All the rhymes are beautifully and wittily illustrated by the celebrated illustrator Margaret Gordon, best known for her drawings of The Wombles, and all the recipes have been tried and tested by a team of enthusiastic young chefs.

Great Britain’s Great WarJeremy Paxman brings his renowned wit, humour and gift for observation to tell the story of the First World War through the eyes of the British people. As well as looking at what life was like for those serving at the front, he paints a vivid picture of the experiences of factory workers, nurses, housewives, children and people from many different walks of life, and illustrates the profound changes the war had on society and how the view from the 21st century can sometimes be distorted and misleading.

Bradshaw’s HandbookCollector’s item, landmark in the history of the tour guide, snapshot of Britain in the 1860s — Bradshaw’s Handbook deserves a place on the bookshelf of any traveller, railway enthusiast, historian or anglophile. Produced as the British railway network was reaching its zenith, it was the fi rst national tourist guide specifi cally organized around railway journeys. This is a facsimile of the actual book — often referred to as ‘Bradshaw’s Guide’ — that inspired the ‘Great British Railway Journeys’ television series. It is an exact copy with a removable bellyband. (512pp, hardback)

The Footpath Way in North GloucestershireOriginally published in 1924, this remains a delightful and rewarding exploration of the county’s countryside and villages, with the author’s observations about local people, the history, customs and fl ora and fauna, adding to the enjoyment. Although 90 years have passed, you realise how few of the essentials have changed. (208pp, hardback)Code: LGLOU

A Century of RoyaltyOver the last century Britain has witnessed a royal family saga compelling, tumultuous and heartwarming. The constitution has been thrown into crisis by an abdication, royal divorces have become commonplace, coronations and jubilees have brought the nation together — and though Princess Diana’s death precipitated perhaps the most serious turn in public opinion yet, the Windsors’ place in our hearts was confi rmed beyond any doubt by Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee and the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s son, Prince George. With full-page illustrations from the Daily Mirror’s archives and illuminating explanatory text, this book is a unique look at one hundred years of royalty in Britain. (112pp, hardback) Code: LCROY

The First World War in 100 ObjectsObjects allow us to reach out and touch the past and they play a living role in history today. They bear witness to the stories of men whose only morning comfort in the trenches was the rum ration, children who grew up with only one photograph of the father they would never get to know, women who would sacrifi ce their girlhood in hospitals just yards from the front line, pinning a brooch on to remind themselves of a past life. New weapons that transformed the battlefi eld, planes that had barely learnt to be fl own, German submarines that stalked shipping across the seas. Through these incredible artefacts, Peter Doyle shows the First World War in a whole new light. (352pp, hardback) Code: LWW1H

Merry Christmas — Doris DayA seasonal programme, focused on recordings from Doris Day's early years. She brings freshness, honesty and sheer good nature to these perennial favourites. 'Nobody can make me believe what I don't feel. I always show exactly how I feel. I am what I am.'

An English Folk ChristmasChristmas cheer in songs and carolsHearty songs and music for Christmas. Carol singers stamping their feet against the cold, and singing their hearts out. Songs and carols old and new in cheerful Christmas celebration, with amazing instrumental accompaniment on fi ddles, melodeons, drums and pipes.(66 mins.) Code: CCEFC

Some Corner of a Foreign FieldPoetry and music of the Great War 1914-1918The horrors of the Great War produced some of the fi nest British poetry of the century. Poignant readings are combined with music of great power in a moving album, full of humour, irony, and terror in equal measure.

Bless 'em All:Humorous songs from World War IIFrom Flanagan and Allen to Spike Jones and George Formby this classic selection of witty wartime songs shows British humour at its best from the absurdity of Der Fuehrer’s face to the inanity of Mr Wu! (63 mins.) Code: CCBTA

Formbyshows British humour at its best from the absurdity of

Churchill A celebration in words and musicThe voice of the great man himself in a selection of his most famous speeches, combined with music of the period: songs of hope, and cheerful little numbers in amongst the stirring words of Britain's most famous Prime Minister.

David Hughes: Both a popular and classical tenor, he was known as “Mr. Heart Throb” but his glittering career was cut dreadfully short by a heart attack, after standing in at the last minute for a performance of Madame Butterfl y at the London Coliseum. Happily, his recorded legacy lives on. Code: C130

On the Right Road: Another gem in the transport crown, alternating orchestral and vocal tunes. You are sure to fi nd something new and exciting, as well as music which will jog your memory. Many of the tracks have never previously been released on CD. A unique compilation. Code: COTR

Edmundo Ros: To celebrate his centenary in December 2010 this tribute CD includes all his best known numbers. Edmundo invented his own British version of Latin music. Whether it was the rumba, samba, mambo, cha-cha-cha, pasa doble or any other dance, they were all polished by Edmundo Ros. Code: C128

Sam Browne: The most prodigious singer of the dance band era, he was in constant demand and recorded with more ensembles than anyone else. Remarkably, while on a train, he was hit in the neck by three bullets fi red randomly from the trackside but survived to continue singing for many years afterwards! Amazing!

Val Doonican: When Val Doonican’s generation dies out the name will become extinct in the Emerald Isle, so all the more reason to buy a CD to remember him by. His rocking chair act came about purely by chance and now you can enjoy his most famous songs from the comfort of your own armchair. All his favourites are here. Code: C122

Stanley Holloway Songs: Everyone knows his monologues but he also had a brilliant baritone voice. Don’t just take our word for it, though, listen to this terrific CD of a person who Arthur Askey described as “The nicest man I ever knew. He never had a wrong word to say about anyone. He was a great actor, a super mimic and a one-man walking comic show.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves and you will be delighted with this musical tribute. Code: C155

Derek Barsham: Britain’s most famous wartime boy soprano whose voice was heard regularly at peak time on the radio just before the 6 o’clock news, as a coded message to the troops before D-Day and then preceding Churchill’s victory speech. He even sings accompanying himself as boy soprano and adult baritone. A real collector’s item. Code: C153

Famous Songs of the First World War: The Great Warwas a prolific time for new songs and with the benefit of modern recording techniques, we can now enjoy better sound quality. Among the splendid singers are Peter Dawson, John McCormack, Billy Murray, Violet Loraine, George Robey and Harry Lauder — the last two receiving knighthoods for their wartime charity work.

The Temperance Seven: This group of anarchistic young musicians preceded Monty Python and shot to fame with their Twenties style dress, and versions of You’re Driving Me Crazy and Pasadena. This new CD includes all their best recordings and is a real foot tapper. Code: C154

Bix Beiderbecke: Nobody has ever emulated the bell-like tone of self-taught cornet player Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke whose unique sound is as fresh today as it was back in the Twenties. Sadly, he died young at the age of only 28 but his brilliant reputation remains untarnished. Never heard him? Start now — you won't regret it! Code: C149
