elephant borrowed from London Zoo pulled a five-foot high birthday
cake."

THE STORY OF THE SAVOY HOTEL'S FOUNDERS, THROUGH A CENTURY OF
LUXURY. "For The Gondoliers-themed birthday dinner, the hotel
obligingly flooded the courtyard to conjure the Grand Canal of
Venice. Dinner was served on a silk-lined floating gondola, real
swans were swimming in the water, and as a final flourish, a baby
elephant borrowed from London Zoo pulled a five-foot high birthday

Waiting 'An elegantly crafted, yet spritely and sparkling book,
perfectly befitting its subject. Williams uses group biography to
beautifully illuminate some of London's greatest hotel and theatre
landmarks.' Ophelia Field, author of The Favourite 'A thoroughly
entertaining account of some of London's most treasured history,
with its beloved The Savoy at the heart of a fascinating and
delightful plot. Bravo to Olivia Williams and her fantastically
colourful cast of characters.' - Lady Kinvara Balfour, director and
producer 'A cracking good read and a fascinating story that -
amazingly - has not been told before.' Fiona Duncan, the Telegraph
'This is a fascinating story, and it could not be better told.
Elegant, great fun, and with a finely-judged personal touch: much
like the Savoy hotel itself.' - Laura Thompson, bestselling author
of Agatha Christie and The Mitford Sisters
Gin Glorious Gin is a vibrant cultural history of London seen
through the prism of its most iconic drink. Leading the reader
through the underbelly of the Georgian city via the Gin Craze,
detouring through the Empire (with a G&T in hand), to the
emergence of cocktail bars in the West End, the story is brought
right up to date with the resurgence of class in a glass - the
Ginnaissance. As gin has crossed paths with Londoners of all
classes and professions over the past three hundred years it has
become shorthand for metropolitan glamour and alcoholic squalor in
equal measure. In and out of both legality and popularity, gin is a
drink that has seen it all. Gin Glorious Gin is quirky,
informative, full of famous faces - from Dickens to Churchill,
Hogarth to Dr Johnson - and introduces many previously unknown
Londoners, hidden from history, who have shaped the city and its
signature drink.

In this book, the follow up to "Mastering the Mind by Mixing It
Up," you will learn how to maintain those areas in your mind, life,
actions and reactions in which you have made progress. You will be
motivated to continue making progress and inspired to (in the
least) maintain the distance you have already come. You will also
be given the tools to continue on and to achieve all that you are
capable of, and in every area of your life.
This book will take many of the current beliefs you have stored in
your mind and question them. It will confuse you in a way that will
force you to think outside of the box. You cannot master your own
mind if the majority of your thoughts are based on those of society
and not any of the ideas or facts that you?ve created on your own.
If you are not the master of your own mind, you are a zombie. You
live the repetitive life of society and are stuck in a comfort zone
that is probably not even all that comfortable. It's time for you
to think a bit differently, to master your own mind, and be your
own greatest leader. This book will address the many things that
affect the way that you think. It will explain how thinking is
where it all begins. Your successes and failures, happiness and
hurts, the hesitation, procrastination, and motivation all begins
within your own mind.

life. Further complicating matters, Jake is engaged to the

become closer, the two couples face tough decisions about their
future and struggle to find a balance between their own desires and
the reluctance to hold back or harm a loved one.
