Alan Davies was always a hoarder. Pages from Smash Hits, rolled up gig posters, Cup Final ticket stubs, Woody Allen paperbacks, NME covers and Blondie calendars filled boxes once used to ferry shopping home from supermarkets (back when supermarkets would leave boxes out for the ferrying of shopping). Not much that came down from Alan's bedroom wall made it into the bin, never mind the uninvented bin-liner. Growing up is not easy. So many decisions: who to revere, Sheene or McEnroe; who to imitate, Starsky or Hutch; who to dislike overnight in an effort to show maturity, Thatcher or Scargill; and, how to decide which pin-ups to unpin when a batch of Animal Rights leaflets or a satirical poster of Ronald Reagan demand wallspace. The Impressionable Age of a young man lasts around a decade and the idols and icons of that period can reveal much of the time and of the impressed subject. Nostalgic, warm and laugh-out-loud funny "My Favourite People and Me 1978-1988" is an affectionate trip through a suburban childhood in Essex and an eighties education in Kent. As Alan says, 'an attempt to remember who and what I liked as a boy/youth/idiot and to work out why. There are also some pictures'.

First published in 1952 and the subject of numerous reprints and editions, this cookbook, which preserves recipes from British colonial kitchens, is an acclaimed classic and bestseller among cookbooks published in Singapore and Malaysia. This fresh edition once again makes available Mrs Handy's time-tested and easy- to-use recipes for the modern cook. Recorded here are the wide range of dishes cooked in the home kitchens of a time gone by, when just a few everyday ingredients were most cleverly and thoughtfully combined to make inviting, satisfying and delicious meals. The tastes of the 300 dishes offered will bring you to a time of rubber planters, mems and tuans, when the pace of life was relaxed and simple in the tropics. Dishes such as Chicken a la King, Laksa Siam, Ikan Bilis Sambal, Fish Kedgeree, layered Hoen Kwe, as well as standard fare such as Sago Pudding, Meat Loaf, Pulot Panggang and Pork, Crab and Prawn Ball Soup remain the staples of Malaysian and Singapore cuisine served everyday and on special occasions. This book is therefore excellent for the understanding and preparation of home- cooked dishes of the region, and is of special nostalgic appeal to the wide-ranging Singapore-Malaysian dispora.

Dictators may be among the worst people in history, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t laugh at them. In My Favourite Dictators, Chris Mikul tells the stories of eleven of the twentieth century’s most colourful and reviled human beings, including Benito Mussolini, Mao Zedong, Muammar Gaddafi, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-il. In each case, he examines the political backgrounds to their rise to power and eventual downfall, but the focus here is on the personalities, peculiarities and private lives of these very strange men. You’ll be amazed and appalled by their effortless cruelties, voracious sexual appetites, absurd personality cults, ostentatious uniforms, promotion of dreadful art and pretensions to being great writers – not to mention their terrible taste in interior decoration.

Charlie and Lola My Favourite and Best Story Collection a Box Set 5 Books & a Cd - Lauren Child - N/a

Perfect for fans of The Girls , this is a bittersweet, honest, and widely acclaimed coming-of-age novel that distills honest truths about American girlhood Anna has had a miserable year. Everything feels wrong with her life. And rather than stay and face the mess, she steals a credit card and books herself a seat on the first flight out of town to Los Angeles, to crash with her sister. But soon after she lands, cold reality soon dawns on her: Hollywood isn't the escape she needs. She is trapped in a town full of lost souls and wannabes, with no friends, no cash and no return ticket. When she's offered a job researching the murderous Manson girls for a dubious film, she reluctantly accepts - she needs the money. But soon enough, among the fake smiles and glitter-fuelled parties, things turn from strange, to dark, to dangerous . . . This is not going to be the summer Anna had in mind. My Favourite Manson Girl is a chilling story about being young, lost and female. This is a story about how girls disappear.

The passion for gardening comes together with the passion for words in this anthology by writers who garden and gardeners who write. Among the contributors are Marina Warner, who remembers the Guinee rose, and Henri Cole with two poems. As well as the new, some old favourites are included.

From the My Favourite series - favourite stories on different themes by different authors, each volume edited by a celebrity in the field. "After this, my first ascent, I had made up my mind to see the world, to see it from above, from the tops of mountains, whence I could get that wide and comprehensive view which is denied to those who observe things from their own plane." In The Making of a Mountaineer, George Finch recorded that resolution, made when he was a boy of thirteen standing on a hill-top in the Australian Bush. It was his book, and the news of the 1924 Everest expedition when Mallory and Irvine were lost near the summit, that made John Hunt decide to become a mountaineer himself. This collection of favourite mountaineering stories was chosen to illustrate the progress in climbing over the past hundred years, to illuminate the differing attractions which draw climbers on, and to recall some of his own experiences and friendships. The stories range from the steady accuracy of Graham Brown climbing in the western Alps to the fluent charm of Eric Shipton exploring the Himalayas, from Victorian horseplay on the Matterhorn to a friendly expedition in the 'red snows' of the Caucasus. Hermann Buhl in the Tirol, Frank Smythe in Wales, Geoffrey Young dazed and frozen on the Taschorn: all are here, and so, of course, is Everest. In 1953, just over a hundred years after Everest was established as the highest point on the Earth's surface, John Hunt led the party that made the first successful assault on the mountain. Hillary's account is here, and so are the verses Wilfrid Noyce wrote on that expedition, and Haston's and Scott's vivid description from 1975: "We then walked up side by side the last few paces to the top, arriving there together. All the world lay before us."

From the My Favourite series - favourite stories on different themes by different authors, each volume edited by a celebrity in the field. "The stillness seemed to be not of this world... the majesty of the mountains below, and close to us, is not to be conceived. We now beheld the whole mass of Great Gavel from its base - the Den of Wastdale at our feet - a gulf immeasurable; Grasmere and the other mountains of Crummock; Ennerdale and its mountains; and the Sea beyond!" Wordsworth looking out from Scafell Pikes over the miles of rock and water which were his inspiration, opens this exhilarating collection of Lakeland stories. The power implicit in this stretch of country has long attracted great writers. Here came Dickens, to write a delectable story of two London apprentices worsted by a 'trumpery little mountain'; Coleridge, to delight in a fearsome rock climb; Beatrix Potter, to record with delicate precision the commonplaces of her daily life.The stories range from a sly dialect tale to a poet's description of a town transformed by snow. A Victorian writer breathes life into an old tragedy; a woman remembers a bleak poverty in Barrow. Here are Lakeland writers whose tales rooted in feeling for the past - Ransome remembering his boyhood, Walpole with high adventure, Graham Sutton's engaging Flemming family, Melvyn Bragg himself describing Cumbria at the turn of the century. And always here, always dominant, are the lakes and fells of which Wainwright writes with love: "Always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest... The fleeting hour of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal."

(2-CD set) When Tim Hart passed away on Christmas Eve 2009, it brought to an end a career that began as part of a young duo, went on to see him form Steeleye Span, one of the most influential bands in British music history, before leaving the industry to work as a writer and photographer in his adopted home of the small Canary island La Gomera. Originally recorded in 1981 as a gift for his then three year old son, Hart had been inspired to record his own album of nursery rhymes by the appalling
