The coronation of George VI on 12 May 1937 was one of the biggest
media events of the interwar period. While other photographers
focused on the new King, his family and the ceremonial splendour of
the day, Henri Cartier-Bresson turned his lens on the crowds that
gathered in the streets of London to watch the pageantry. In a
witty reversal of the expected order of proceedings, he shows us
ordinary people of all ages and walks of life, some climbing on
monuments or each otherâs shoulders, others straining to get a
better view with cardboard periscopes and mirrors on sticks. A few
even slump on the ground, the festivities having proved too much.
Presented alongside contemporary news clippings from around the
world, these remarkable images reflect Cartier-Bressonâs
unmistakeable photographic eye and capture the British public at a
unique historical moment.
From award-winning author Benjamin Dean comes a deliciously dark
and addictive YA thriller following the lives of Gen Zâs rich and
famous through the lens of an undercover teen journalist. Perfect
for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is
Lying. 'This [book] has "Netflix adaptation" written all
over it.' The Bookseller  London-born Abel has landed the
role of a lifetime for an upcoming blockbuster. On the face of it
heâs Hollywoodâs latest teen star, but below the surface heâs
an undercover journalist on a mission to expose the âsqueaky
cleanâ entertainment industry and the part they played in his
brotherâs âaccidentalâ death. As Abel steps into the
spotlight alongside fellow actors Lucky, Ryan and Ella, he soon
discovers that beneath the glittering surface of fame and riches
lies a darker world of secrecy, scandal and murder. Nobody is who
they seem when the cameras are off, and everybody has something to
hide. But whoâs next in line to die famous? Â
Drawing on his previous career as a celebrity journalist, Benjamin
Dean examines the dark underbelly of showbiz, leaving no stone
unturned. PRAISE FOR BENJAMIN DEANâS THE KING IS DEAD:
