Photography first went to India in the early 1840s and, ever since, photographers have set about recording this fascinating and exotic country. This book starts a few years before the Indian mutiny of 1857 and brings us up to the granting of Independence in 1947.
In his introduction, John Fabb explains the changing structure of Indian society which this book records. The photographs in the early part of the book concentrate on the native rulers, many of them fabulously wealthy. Then we are shown the British in India, for the most part the story of the army presence after the mutiny. Their leisure moments are portrayed too, though, enjoying tiffin (a light meal) on the lawn in 1870, a meet of the horse and hounds before riding off to hunt jackal in 1890, or playing cricket in 1864 at Kohat, on the north-west frontier. After the title of Empress of India was added to that of Queen of England in 1877, royal visits became a regular feature, which included, if possible, that most regal of activities - a tiger shoot.
From native rulers to British rulers, many interesting aspects of Indian life are covered, and it is fitting that some of the last photographs in the book feature Mahatma Gandhi, a man who was the representative more than any other of the move to dismantle the British Empire in India.
Throughout, there are detailed captions that guide the reader over these 114 photographs of the last 100 years of this part of the Empire, and even those familiar with this period of Indian history will here find much that is new and intriguing.The jacket illustration shows the cover of the issue of The Sphere magazine celebrating the recent crowning in December 1910 of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India.

'William Rollinson does for Lakeland words and traditions what Wainwright did for its walks and climbs.'
Melvyn Bragg
The Cumbrian Dictionary is the first comprehensive guide to the county's dialect, tradition and folklore. It comprises: dialect words and expressions; traditions and customs; and names from history and legend. The entries themselves cover topics such as working life, food and domestic items, sport and recreation, children's games, local rhymes and sayings, calendar customs and topographical features.
They include derivations, explanations and cross-references; and quoted examples give the reader the precise meaning and flavour of the word or phrase, often with traditional humour for good measure. Specially-commissioned drawings complement the text perfectly.
Although it serves as a well-researched reference work, with its lively yet authoritative text, the Dictionary is also a delight to browse through. All in all, with over 2,000 entries and 140 illustrations, the Cumbrian Dictionary is the essential book on Cumbrian phrase and fable.
'Succinct, authentic, well-illustrated ... good for a browse and assured of a place on that part of the bookshelf reserved for standard works of reference about our Cumbrian way of life.'
W R Mitchell MBE, former editor of Cumbria
'Firmly rooted in encyclopaedic knowledge but skilfully tailored to meet the needs and interests of the general reader. A five-star companion for aficionados of all things truly Cumbrian.'
George Bott, Keswick Reminder
'Whea else but Bill Rollinson cud hey put tagither seck a grand new beeuk? T' amoont o' stuff in seck a handy-sized beeuk is a real capper!'

Described as our Greatest Carnival, the event has changed greatly over the years: originally it was held to help regulate the towns trade, then was transformed into a fashionable get-together for gentry and burgesses, and more recently a celebration of civic pride, famous around the country. The Guild of 2012 was the first with Preston having city status.

(Order reference 15410)John McDouall Stuart (1815-1866) was the most accomplished and most famous of all
Australia’s inland explorers. Stuart led the second expedition to traverse the Australian mainland from south to north, and the first to do so from a starting point in South Australia, achieving this despite poor backing from the Government of South Australia. His experience and the care he showed for his team ensured he never lost a man, despite the harshness of the country he encountered. The explorations of Stuart eventually resulted in the Adelaide-Darwin telegraph being built and the main route from Port Augusta to Darwin being established, which is now known as the Stuart Highway in his honour. The South Australian Surveyor-General, Stuart’s superior officer, was the famous explorer Captain Charles Sturt, who had already solved the mystery of the inland-flowing rivers of New South Wales, in the process of discovering the Darling River, travelling the full length of the Murrumbidgee, and tracing the Murray to the sea.£15.00 -

(Order reference 15511)From the furthest rim of the Irish diaspora, Thomas Keneally - Australian Booker Prize-winning author, of Irish descent - returns to his spiritual homeland. The result is both an unforgettable journey rich in observation of his own deeply personal view of Ireland today: an attempt to unpack his 'baggage of myths picked up from ancestors and other and match them against the ambiguous late twentieth-century reality'. Between Cork, Ulster and Dublin, history reverberates and persists, and modern Ireland presents its ironies and contradictions. This book is a sometimes poetic, sometimes proud and always thoughtful evocation of Ireland in all its glory and complexity.

Windrush Press 1997
8vo paperback 246 pages VG++ 255 gms
(Order reference 15521)This book is part of a series for those who want a comprehensive view of a nation's past history from earliest times up to the present day. This book begins with Scotland's first people and their culture. Before the Vikings in 900 it was a land of romantic kingdoms and saints, gradually overtaken by more pragmatic struggles for power. Centuries of strife led up to the turbulent years of Mary Queen of Scots, the Calvinist legacy of Knox and the bitterness of final defeat. The dreams of the Jacobites are contrasted with the cruel reality of the end of the Stewarts and the Act of Union with England. Scotland now saw an age of industry and despoliation. The result was much emigration and an obsession with the nation's past which glorified the legends of the Highlander and the Clans. In this century, a loss of identity and a drift to the south has been followed by a new surge of national pride with higher aspirations for the future. This book explains the roots of Scottish history and aims to be a useful companion for visitors.

So he decided to travel deep into America, Australia, Africa and India in search of some of the world's most notorious deadly snakes, and meet the people who live amongst them. The result is as far from a dry herpetologist's handbook as could be imagined. The Snakebite Survivors' Club is an exhilarating hybrid of travelogue, social history, and powerful personal exploration of a universal fear."

(Order reference 15669)Gearoid Cheaist O Cathain was the last child brought up on the Blasket Islands off Ireland's southwest coast. His childhood was unique, as he was the only child on the island, the nearest in age being his uncle who was 30 years older. A 1951 newspaper article described him as 'the loneliest boy in the world - he has only seagulls as playmates'. In this captivating memoir, he recalls growing up on the island without a doctor, priest, school, church or electricity. The trials and tribulations of the small, vulnerable fishing community until its evacuation are vividly related. Despite public perception, Gearoid remembers a wonderful childhood, cherished by parents and neighbours. His memories are entwined with the beliefs and customs handed down through the generations and are an insight into life on the Blaskets."

The winter before last Mr Evelyn Waugh made a brief but leisurely tour in Kenya, Tanganyika, and Rhodesia and, eschewing all political problems, found many amusements lacking in the recognized holiday resorts.

His travel diary makes a very pleasant bedside book (which should induce sleep in all but the most stubborn insomniacs).£35.00 -
