Sheridan Le Fanu. Would-be young artist Godfried Schalcken (Jeremy
Clyde) is in love with Rose (Cheryl Kennedy), the niece of his
benefactor Gerrit Dou (Maurice Denham). However, a mysterious

Rose's well-being he learns that the couple have not been seen
since their wedding day...
A collection of humourous stories; some true, some not
Anthony Sharp's book is funny, if politically 'incorrect'. The
story might well have been the nightmare of more than one honest
Englishman. A glimpse of the future, inverted prejudices and a
struggle for power.
Amanda Davidson's marriage to Carl Himmler, a handsome and dynamic
young businessman from Hamburg, is a huge success. Despite his
profession as a heavy arms manufacturer, Carl's nature and
philosophy of life bear little resemblance to his historic namesake
Heinrich Himmler - the loathsome director of Hitler's death camps.
For twelve happy years, Amanda looks after her two loving children
and her thriving London boutique while calming an ever-watchful
Jewish father in New York. But when a serious threat to Carl's
business and his whole family presents itself, Heads of State,
police and the secret services face a dilemma fraught with danger,
whilst everyone's skills are put to the test. Yet the world is
hardly finished with Amanda who is to endure an outrageous attack
upon her by the late addition to her brood, a deviant son called
Peter. As her remarkable strength of character and will to recover
manifests itself, her elder son, Adam, publishes his close-to-home
novel and presents her with a signed copy at a special party in her
honour... A happy ending to a family affair involving change of
identity and nail-biting drama.
This book is not for the prude nor for the unimaginative, as it
highlights the shortcomings and hypocrisy of the human race in
sharp contrast to the future offered by "The Guv'nor." The meaning
of life - a tall order, even for an intellectual to fathom - was a
'doddle', surely, for "The Guv'nor"? He had to know Why was he so
reluctant to divulge the secret?
This is the true story of a professional musician whose colourful,
if chequered career has enabled him to review the past with a
relaxed, philosophical eye. Anthony Sharp attended his local
grammar school, and on an organ scholarship went up to Oxford where
he shared tutorials with fellow Londoner, the late Dudley Moore -
who rose to international fame and fortune while Tony drifted from
gig to gig, clutching at straws and failing to capitalize on his
achievements. Written with delightful candour and wit, he traces
the years from choirboy days, school and university, through work
and close encounters with the famous and 'infamous', to life in a
Spanish village and the dubious pleasures of altercations with the
wicked over his Steinway grand piano.
The world has reached its crisis point over religion when the
magical President Obama seizes the opportunity to join His Royal
Highness, Prince Charles and Lewis Hamilton on their exciting
mission to set up a new global movement to embrace nations of all
creeds and those with none - except for the most important of all:
HUMANITY. The President's drive and diplomatic skills even succeed
in bringing on board the recalcitrant President of Iran and finally
the most wanted man on earth: Osama Bin Laden. Who will be the one
to upset the apple-cart?
