First published in 1906, The Fool of Quality; a picaresque and
sentimental novel by the Irish writer Henry Brooke, is the only one
of his works which has enjoyed any great reputation. The somewhat
shapeless plot is an account of the doings of young Harry Clinton,
who, rejected by his decadent and aristocratic father, is educated
on enlightened principles by his philanthropic uncle. Thus equipped
to fight the evils of the world the innocent yet wise hero does his
best to better the lot of the unfortunate Hammel Clement and his
family, and other deserving cases, in the intervals between the
author's frequent philosophical digressions and commentaries on the
action. This book is the third of five volumes.

The story of D-Day - the Normandy beach landings which saw the
start of the Allies' major offensive against German forces -
specially written for readers of 9 and up. Published in association
with the Imperial War Museums and full of photographs, maps and
full-colour illustrations, this is a great introduction to the
story of D-Day. Includes internet links to specially selected
websites where children can access additional information and
resources. Ideal for those who prefer history to fiction.
Many people will find it hard to believe that deep within key
aspects of the Law of England and Wales there lie significant
defects - such is the extent to which our laws and justice
system have been routinely described as 'the best in the world'.
This new analysis by reform group Modernising Justice demonstrates
just how wrong this view is in relation to one of the most serious
all crimes. Murder remains a common law offence based on an ancient
and somewhat vague definition and beset with an approach to
punishment still steeped in the fallout from the abolition of the
death penalty. The authors demonstrate just why change is needed.
Their arguments are set out concisely and with a directness not
often found in legal debates. Their ongoing correspondence with
successive Ministers of Justice is reproduced to demonstrate how
cautiously the Executive tends to move in an arena where law and
order policies can be judged (and elections won or lost) by popular
responses to this particular crime.
