Barrow,
Kenneth F'word by Walther Matthau: Mr Chips
- the life of Robert Donat Methuen 1st 1985 8vo, v min crsing to d/w, small name to fr pastedown o/w F/VG++ 405 gms (Order reference 10452). It is, surprisingly, more than a quarter of a century since Robert Donat died. Surprisingly because, due to the vigour of his screen persona, he is still with us in a dozen film classics. Donat was one of the handful of stars to emerge from Britain in the golden years of the cinema, and he held a unique position by constantly refusing to be type?cast. Hitchcock claimed that Donat was responsible for the world-wide success of The 39 Steps. He received an Oscar nomination for The Citadel, and won the coveted award for his performance in Goodbye Mr Chips, his bestloved film. Other notable roles included Pitt the Younger, the Count of Monte Cristo, the Carson-like barrister in The Winslow Boy and the founder of cinema in The Magic Box. He bade a poignant farewell to his public as the Chinese mandarin in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. But his first love was the theatre and this book also details this forgotten part of his life from childhood theatricals in the toolshed, through touring with Sir Frank Benson in Shakespeare, his first starring role as Gideon Sarn in Precious Bane, to his last performance as Becket in Murder in the Cathedral. It is the story of a man wracked with physical suffering, a chronic asthmatic with a voice of unforgettable beauty, a genius of an actor cruelly taken away at the age of fifty-three; it is the story of a father, a husband, a lover. Official
biographer Kenneth Barrow unravels the enigma of this gentle, passionate,
private person who once claimed,'I never had any real security in my life
until I found the false security of stardom'. Laurence Olivier, Marlene
Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Ingrid Bergman, Ralph Richardson, Deborah
Kerr, Irving Thalberg, Greer Garson, Alexander Korda and George Bernard
Shaw are just some of the glittering characters who people his life story.
Included is the testimony of many of these, together with substantial
extracts from Donat's own writings revealing fluency and an individual
wit. |

Susan Johnston: W B Yeats - Twentieth Century
Magus - an in-depth study of Yeats' esoteric practices & beliefs, including
excerpts from his magical diaries Samuel Weiser 1st 2000 8vo paperback 224pp, gift inscription to inside fr cvr, slight sunning to spine o/w VG++ 330 gms (Order reference 14836). Just as Yeats the poet gives the clearest expression of his magical ideas, so it is the literary scholar who best introduces us to Yeats's texts—and Susan Johnston Graf is a model literary scholar: deeply versed in Yeats's work, she also possesses both a clear insight into his esoteric ideas and a rare sympathy with them. Concentrating on A Vision, Yeats's most baffling work, and on its unjustly neglected and equally enigmatic precursor, Per Amica Silentia Lunae, Graf traces the development of Yeats's magical world-view and analyzes its essential concepts. She introduces us to the key symbols of the Rose, the Mask, and the Tower; to the idea of the creative tension between self and anti-self, to the empowering daimon and to the crucial role of sexuality in both the theory and practice of Yeats's magic. Exploring Yeats's mind in a fascinating and original way, Graf presents us with the real Demon est Deus Inversus: Yeats as a fusion of magician and poet, a true genius and a true Twentieth-Century Magus. —R. A. Gilbert, antiquarian bookseller and esoteric scholar W. B. Yeats—Twentieth-Century Magus is a comprehensive study of his magical practices and beliefs. Yeats moved through many different phases of spiritual development, believing that his life was an intellectual, spiritual, and artistic quest—a quest greatly influenced by Celtic lore, Theosophy, Golden Dawn ceremonial magic, Swedenborg's metaphysics, the works of Jacob Boehme and Neo-Platonism. For Yeats, writing poetry was an act of divine possession, and he believed that a perfected soul was the source of his inspiration, visiting him during times of superconscious awareness. Susan Johnston Graf meticulously documents and provides evidence that Yeats's poetry is a brilliant, lyric narrative of reality captured through the mind of a practicing magician working in the Western Tradition. |

Ian Hargreaves, regular writer and columnist with the Liverpool Echo and Daily Post, has met many interesting people during his many years with those papers. An 'adopted Liverpudlian' himself, he has chosen twelve men and women who are either Liverpool born and bred, or who have had a great impact after coming to this city. This is not just reporter's heresay, Ian has meticulously researched his subjects and in each case has personally interviewed them. Those who feature in this book have very different personalities; age, sex, upbringing, interests are all quite disparate but they all have character and each has made a very positive contribution to society. Consider this list - Edwina Currie - Alfie Lewis Lord Derby - Gerry Marsden Ken Dodd John - Parrott Harold Francis - Councillor Harry Rimmer John Hardman - Peter Robinson Carla Lane Archbishop - Derek Warlock |

Bananas Forever - Kenny Everett and Me
Virgin 1st 1998 large 8vo, black bds with gold titling to sp F+/F 550 gms (Order reference 13493). Cleo Rocos was Kenny Everett's best and closest friend — a companion and soulmate who shared his boundless energy and extrovert sense of fun. Cleo first met Kenny when she was fifteen. She was having lunch at the BBC with a friend when she was spotted by the Head of Light Entertainment and asked to audition for The Kenny Everett Show. They met on set during filming and immediately struck up a unique friendship which would last until Kenny's tragic death in 1995. For over fifteen years they worked together, played together and travelled all over the world, sharing a host of bizarre experiences and a fund of fun and laughter in a way that only two people who hold each other in the deepest of affection can ever possibly hope to do. Cleo has often been asked to write a book about the time she spent with Kenny but waited until she felt the time was right to give his many fans and friends a lasting memento of his life. In this affectionate tribute to the playmate and colleague she adored, she recalls with great warmth the time they spent together, capturing all of the humour, the charm, the imagination and the energy which made their friendship so very special. |

Wisdom, Norman:
'Cos I'm a Fool Breedon Books 1st 1996 4to, v v min crsing to d/w o/w F/VG++ 690 gms (Order reference 9141). NORMAN WISDOM. Two words that are guaranteed to bring a smile to even the most unyielding face. Not that life has always been a bundle of laughs for Britain's favourite funnyman. He recalls a childhood in which he was often barefoot on the streets of London, filching food to avoid starvation. But in this book, the second part of his autobiography, Norman dwells rather more on the happier side of his life, his personal triumphs, his encounters with other legends of showbusiness, among them Laurel and Hardy, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, George Robey, Charlie Chaplin, Gracie Fields and countless others right up to the young of today whom Norman admires. He talks of fun on the film sets, frustration on the golf course, adulation in Albania, the chill of Chernobyl and presents many anecdotes of both chaos and comfort. In 1996, Norman Wisdom celebrated his 50th anniversary as a professional entertainer. He is still going strong in films, television, radio and his favourite place - the theatre. But
for how much longer? Norman's surprising revelation lies within this book
