The 'Busby Babes'. What a great name and title. The "Busby Babes" marked the fruition of the plans for youth which were drawn up by J.W. Gibson and put into practice by Sir Matt Busby and Jimmy Murphy. It marked another new chapter in Manchester United's history. When Sir Matt Busby arrived and took on the Manager's job in 1945, he embraced Gibson's vision totally. Together with his able lieutenant, Jimmy Murphy, Busby drew the blueprint and Murphy put the building bricks together. This book tells the story of 18 players plus Assistant Manager, Jimmy Murphy, who made up the main squad of that famous team. There is still as much an aura about them now as there was before the tragedy of Munich. They were the pollinators of British football; they were the 'Flowers of Manchester'.

The Lake District is famous for its magnificent scenery, but it is also an area that has been inhabited from early prehistoric times. This book by a former county archaeologist of Cumbria is both an introduction to the prehistoric archaeology of Cumbria and a field guide to the area. More than 100 Neolithic and Bronze Age sites are described, in particular the many conspicuous stone circles. There is new material on major sites such as the Swinside circle and previously unpublished information on both well-known and new sites. The whole work is illustrated by a fine range of photographs and plans.
