Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary (Paperback): Ruby Ferguson Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary (Paperback)
Ruby Ferguson; Afterword by Candia McWilliam
R512 Discovery Miles 5 120 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Like "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day", this 1937 novel is a fairy tale for grown-ups, but one 'with an uneasy crash into social reality'. Lady Rose Targenet, later created the Countess of Lochlule, marries Sir Hector, owner of the estate next to 'Keepsfield', the palatial Scottish mansion where she lives. But one day she meets someone on a park bench in Edinburgh...'It's a little book about dreams and the hard world of money and position and their relations to one another. It's also a love story and a love letter - to Scotland' (Candia McWilliam). "Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary" was a great favourite of Queen Elizabeth, who was later the Queen Mother.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CANDIA MCWILLIAM The Black Prince is both a remarkable thriller and a story about being in love. Bradley Pearson, narrator and hero, is an elderly writer with a 'block'. Finding himself surrounded by predatory friends and relations - his ex-wife, her delinquent brother, a younger, deplorably successful writer, Arnold Baffin, Baffin's restless wife and engaging daughter - Bradley attempts to escape. His failure to do so and its aftermath lead to a violent climax and a most unexpected conclusion.

Nicola Hicks: Keep Dark (Paperback): Will Self, Max Porter, Candia McWilliam, David Mamet Nicola Hicks: Keep Dark (Paperback)

R817 Discovery Miles 8 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Nicola Hicks’s sculpture and drawing practice has focused upon heroic, humanized animals and mythic, beast-like humans. From the moment she burst on the wider public stage, there has been no doubting her remarkable talent. Picked out while still at the Royal College of Art by the late Elisabeth Frink as a fellow spirit, she quickly established an immediate presence among the artists of her generation as a serious and substantial figure. She was remarkable on every count, for she flew in the face of the critical expectations of the day, not just in the nature of the actual imagery she celebrated — figurative, romantic and expressive — but also in the direct and gleeful joy she took in the physical making of these things. This book is a visual celebration of her work and features essays written by Will Self, Max Porter, Candia McWilliam and David Mamet. Keep Dark is published by Elephant in association with Flowers Gallery.
