Release date: 07-04-13

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Sports & Recreation, Biography & Memoir, Comedy, Essays & Memoirs, Other

Summary:

Jonathan Aggers Agnew, Englands voice of cricket, showcases some of the very best writings on the noble game, from the 1930s to the present day.

In this wide-ranging and beautifully-produced anthology, Test Match Specials Jonathan Aggers Agnew, chooses a wide variety of writings on the sport that has consumed his life, from the 1932/33 Ashes (Bodyline) series right up to the present day. In a series of carefully considered, thematically organised reflections, he examines the importance of their contribution to our understanding and appreciation of cricket. With input from several eminent cricketing historians, including the librarian at Lords, the book contains a fascinating range of material, from renowned classics to books that have hardly seen the light of day in the United Kingdom (e.g. The Hanse Cronje Story by Garth King); from overseas fiction to modern day autobiographies (Marcus Trescothick, Simon Hughes, Mike Brearley etc.) that have attained classic status. With 75 seminal cricket images, original line drawings and a comprehensive index, this book is a must-have for any self-respecting cricket fan.

Title: Teacher Man

Author: Frank McCourt

Narrator: Frank McCourt

Format: Abridged

Length: 05:25:00

Language: English

Release date: 07-04-13

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Essays & Travelogues, History & Culture

Summary:

A third memoir from the author of the huge international bestsellers Angelas Ashes and Tis. In Teacher Man, Frank McCourt reads his own account of his illustrious, amusing, and sometimes rather bumpy long years as an English teacher in the public high schools of New York City.

Frank McCourt arrived in New York as a young, impoverished and idealistic Irish boy but who crucially had an American passport, having been born in Brooklyn. He didn't know what he wanted except to stop being hungry and to better himself. On the subway he watched students carrying books. He saw how they read and underlined and wrote things in the margin and he liked the look of this very much. He joined the New York Public Library and every night when he came back from his hotel work he would sit up reading the great novels.

Building his confidence and his determination, he talked his way into NYU and gained a literature degree and so began a teaching career that was to last 30 years, working in New York's public high schools. Frank estimates that he probably taught 12,000 children during this time and it is on this relationship between teacher and student that he reflects in Teacher Man, the third in his series of memoirs.

The New York high school is a restless, noisy and unpredictable place and Frank believes that it was his attempts to control and cajole these thousands of children into learning and achieving something for themselves that turned him into a writer. At least once a day someone would put up their hand and shout 'Mr. McCourt, Mr. McCourt, tell us about Ireland, tell us about how poor you were' Through sharing his own life with these kids he learnt the power of narrative storytelling, and out of the invaluable experience of holding 12,000 people's attention came Angela's Ashes.

Frank McCourt was a legend in such schools as Stuyvesant high school long before he became the figure he is now he would receive letters from former students telling him how much his teaching influenced and inspired them and now in Teacher Man he will share his reminiscences of those 30 years as well as revealing how they led to his own success with Angela's Ashes and 'Tis.

Title: Young Prince Philip: His Turbulent Early Life

Author: Philip Eade

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:59:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-27-13

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Marriage & Family, History & Culture

Summary:

The Sunday Times bestseller

Highly readable deserves to take its place among the first rank of modern royal biographiesDaily Mail

'Sure footed and sparkling' Ferdinand Mount

The narrative is as suspenseful as any thriller. Truly, an excellent read Lynn Barber, Sunday Times

Married for over seventy years to the most famous woman in the world, Prince Philip is the longest-serving royal consort in British history. Yet his origins have remained curiously shrouded in obscurity.

In the first book to focus exclusively on his life before the coronation, acclaimed biographer Philip Eade uncovers the extraordinary story of the princes turbulent upbringing in Greece, France and Nazi Germany, during which his mother spent five years in a secure psychiatric clinic and his father left him to be brought up by his Mountbatten relations in England just when he needed him most.

Remarkably the young prince emerged from this unsettled background a character of singular vitality and dash self-confident, capable, famously opinionated and devastatingly handsome. Girls fell at his feet, and the princess who was to become his wife was smitten from the age of thirteen.

Yet alongside the considerable charm and intelligence, the prince was also prone to volcanic outbursts and to putting his foot in it. Detractors perceived in his behaviour emotional shortcomings, a legacy of his traumatic childhood, which would have profound consequences for his family and the future of the monarchy.

Containing new material from interviews, archives and film footage, this revelatory biography is the most complete and compelling account yet of his storm-tossed early life.
