When he was 9 years old, he was diagnosed as diabetic, and so he must have injections every day. It annoys him because he cant seem to do them himself. Davids cousin and best friend Mal lives just down the road; they are the same age, great mates, and hang out together most days. In the memorable summer of 2021, the boys make new friends and learn more about life. Most importantly they play a valuable part working with the police (including Mals dad, a police sergeant) and prove to everyone that they are two young lads who have got what it takes. David doesnt really mind being different but by the end of summer when the boys get involved in an adventure which they are never likely to forget, he realises he is more different than even he had thought. Somehow, he finds he possesses a special talent which proves to be invaluable. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

She consoles herself with gin and chocolate, realising that apart from raising her son Jack, she has achieved absolutely nothing. Somewhat on the plus side of plump and barely five feet tall, she finds it difficult not to envy her younger, prettier sister.

It takes an embarrassing but hilarious encounter in the supermarket to make her realise what she's been missing. It's exactly the push she needs to make her change her life. With a little encouragement, Joanna starts to regain her independence, finally leaving her grumpy husband to enjoy life as a single woman. As she attempts to rebuild her own future, her family and friends continually surprise her with their own revelations. Life is never dull, laughter never far away; can Joanna finally find true happiness within herself at last? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Life in the 1950s Midlands town still reflects the austerity of the immediate post-war period. But amid the greyness there's the promise of better things to come. Change is waiting round the corner. As the decade draws to a close, our eleven-year-old is finding it hard to adjust to the brutality of his new school. Yet as he negotiates the transition from short trousers to long, his interests are also changing from football and music to music, football and girls (but not necessarily in that order). He's starting his journey through that culturally explosive decade of the Sixties, the very best time to live your teenage years. Told with humour and candour, these quirky anecdotal snapshots of the author's earlier life take us through the highs, the lows and the mundane of his first twenty years. The miseries, fears and misconceptions of a young life are countered with moments of wonder, sheer joy and just plain silliness. At times wistful, even poignant, they are never self-indulgent. They provide glimpses into the spirit and conditions of those rapidly changing times of more than half a century ago. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Good. After almost a quarter-century as the BBCs Chief Football Correspondent, Mike Ingham MBE shares a candid, comprehensive and sometimes controversial account of how the world of broadcasting and football changed beyond recognition throughout his career. His broadcasting experiences saw him attend eight World Cups, commentate on twenty-eight F.A. Cup Finals, work with ten full-time England managers, introduce Sports Report, present his own music show on BBC Radio 1, and he even covered Princess Dianas funeral. He has enjoyed working with a whos who of personalities from the world of football and has tales to tell about all of them This book is a timely reminder of Englands campaigns in tournaments over the last half-century with a detailed and eyewitness account of what the atmosphere was really like over the years behind the scenes in the England camp. Mike Ingham MBE was the BBCs Chief Football Correspondent for almost a quarter of a century and only the third person to hold this post after Brian Moore and Bryon Butler. In a radio career of over forty years, Mike attended eight World Cups, commentated on twenty-eight F.A. Cup Finals and worked with ten full-time England managers. Starting out as a DJ in a nightclub, music and football have been his twin obsessions and often the two worlds have bounced into each other as many of his musical heroes have also been football fans. The start of his broadcasting career at BBC Radio Derby coincided with the glory years for Derby County with Brian Clough and Dave Mackay and his final commentary for the BBC was at the Maracana Stadium in Rio for the World Cup Final of 2014. Shortly after his retirement Mike became the first broadcaster to be given a Lifetime Achievement by the Sports Journalists Association. What made this even more special for him was to be presented with this honour by four of the men he respected most of all in the industry, Hugh McIlvanney, James Lawton, Jeff Powell and Patrick Collins. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An Uncommon Slave is based on the remarkable true story of a Muslim cleric and trader of slaves and other goods in Senegambia in the early 18th century. He was captured, enslaved and transported to Maryland where, for a man of `soft hands', he was made to undertake wholly unsuitable work on a tobacco plantation. He escaped and was recaptured and imprisoned before being released, thanks to a fortuitous meeting with men of influence. Ayuba was then transported by the Royal African Company to England. Here he improved his English, mixed with the highest echelons of society, including nobility, was granted an audience with King George II and Queen Caroline, had his portrait painted and released from enslaved bondage. He was then transported back to Africa where he assisted the RAC in trading activities. His adventures did not stop there, for in the trade wars between the English and French he was captured and imprisoned again - only to become the centre of a diplomatic row. He was finally freed to continue his trading and religious activities into late life. His life history, never recounted in such depth, is factual, based on newly researched archival material and published information. It is the thoughts, anguish, elation and conversations of the slave Ayuba (also known as Job ben Solomon) that is imagined. The book is deliberately aimed at the general reader although it will also be of interest to the academic community as it provides significant new information, previously unpublished. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Anne is a headstrong young girl growing up in the frontier colony of Carolina in the early eighteenth century. With the death of her mother, and others she holds dear, Anne discovers that life is uncertain, so best live it to the full. She rejects the confines of conventional society and runs away to sea, finding herself in The Bahamas, which has become a nest for pirates plaguing the West Indies. Increasingly dissatisfied with her life, Anne meets a charismatic former pirate, John 'Calico Jack' Rackham, and persuades him to take up pirating again, and she won't be left onshore. The Golden Age of Piracy is a period when frontiers were being explored and boundaries pushed. Wayward Voyage creates a vivid and gritty picture of colonial life in the Americas and at sea. Anna is a natural storyteller and a gifted writer with colourful language that makes the reader so absorbed that they feel they are part of the adventure. The Bahamas Historical Society Holmes's depiction of the rough lingo and harsh conditions on tall ships at sea and dimly lit establishments ashore demonstrates both historical fidelity and rich imagination. A Woman's Write. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Kettlethorpe, a modest little group of buildings deep in the English countryside, has housed many lives woven of great events and private joys and griefs. It was the home of Katherine Swynford, perhaps the most romantic figure of medieval times, but before and after her of knights and farmers, soldiers and lawyers, maids and maidservants, whose footsteps echo through the house's history. In telling the story of Kettlethorpe, this story touches on some of the greatest events in our history, from the Danish invasion and the Norman Conquest to the Battle of Lincoln Fair, the Pilgrimage of Grace and the Civil War. These were events that took place on Kettlethorpe's doorstep. It passes through the great days of the Georgian country house to the fate of a converted ruin, a farmhouse and dower house for a hunting widow, keeping the estate going until close to the outbreak of the Second World War. A war in which, once more, Lincolnshire - "Bomber County" - would play such an important part. What's more, this is a story not about the great or whom grand houses were built, but about what Cromwell called "the middling sort" - a little up in some generations, down in others, but with lives always within the compass of our imagination. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
