From 55 BC to 1945, An Utterly Impartial History of Britain informs, explains, but most of all laughs at the seemingly incomprehensible rollercoaster of events that make up the story of Great Britain. Packed with great characters trapped in impossible dilemmas, this true-life drama will have you on the edge of your seats thinking "I wonder which of them dies at the end?" (Well, they all do, obviously. It was ages ago.) As entertaining as a witch burning and a lot more laughs. "Mum, Dad, the Second Crusade is starting! Can we put a St George`s flag on the cart?" "No dear, we don`t want everyone to think Daddy is a builder."

`Savage and funny black humour at its best` Time Out Muriel Axon is about to re-enter the lives of Colin Sidney, hapless husband, father and schoolmaster, and Isabel Field, failed social worker and practising neurotic. It is ten years since her last tangle with them, but for Muriel this is not time enough. There are still scores to be settled and truths to be faced - not to mention a certain amount of vengeance to be wreaked.
This book celebrates the holiday home, traditionally a place of rest, relaxation and escape from the pressures of the `real` world. Its many incarnations include beach shacks, mountain-top chalets, country estates, ranches and hobby farms, lakeside villas and isolated cabins. The unique styles reflect their owners` very personal approaches to what it means to be `on vacation`. The architecture of holiday homes reveals the shift in lifestyle that defines a vacation; architects are required to work closely with their clients to achieve just the right spirit. The results of this collaboration can be breathtaking.

It began with a blinding light, a divine revelation from a mysterious intelligence that called itself Valis. And with that, the fabric of reality was ripped open and laid bare so that anything seemed possible, but nothing seemed quite right. Part science fiction, part theological detective story - in which God plays both the missing person and the perpetrator of the ultimate crime, "Valis" is both disorienting and eerily funny, and a joy to read.
