The Moat Farm Murder - Anthony Payne
Samuel Herbert Dougal had a successful military career lasting over 20 years in the Royal Engineers, where he rose to the rank of Quartermaster-Sergeant. But he was also a forger, embezzler, thief, arsonist, serial womaniser and murderer. After leaving the army he preyed on well-off older women and one of them – Camille Cecile Holland – would become the central figure and victim of the Moat Farm Murder. In 1899, Dougal persuaded her to purchase Coldhams Farm, an isolated property at Clavering, Essex, which they renamed “The Moat Farm†and which she supposed was to be their love-nest. Instead, she disappeared shortly after they moved in, with Dougal reporting that she had gone travelling on a sudden whim. He also installed his real wife Sarah at the Moat Farm; she was his third wife and it is likely that he poisoned both the others whilst serving in Canada. He then began to systematically ransack Miss Holland’s bank account using forged cheques, as well as selling off her substantial investments with forged letters to brokers and putting the farm into his own name. The womanising continued unabated and became the stuff of local legend. Four years later, when Miss Holland’s funds were used up, Dougal tried to flee the country but was arrested at the Bank of England trying to change high value banknotes. After an unsuccessful attempt at escape on the way to the police station, he remained in custody for several months while an unsatisfactory trial for fraud dragged on before the Magistrates Bench. At last the police decided to look for a body, spending weeks to no avail dragging the moats which surrounded the farmhouse. At the very moment when the trial for fraud hung on a thread, Miss Holland was discovered in a filled-in drainage ditch with a bullet in her skull. Public hysteria was at fever-pitch and sightseers came in thousands from all over England. An inquest and trial for murder followed swiftly; Dougal was convicted and executed in July 1903\. His last word was “Guiltyâ€.

‘Barbara Pym is one of my most favourite novelists. Few other writers have given me more laughter and more pleasure’ - Jilly Cooper, author of The Rutshire Chronicles series‘I''m a huge fan of Barbara Pym’ - Richard Osman, author of The Thrusday Murder Club Barbara Pym was an incomparable chronicler of ordinary, quiet lives. With warmth, humour, precision and great vividness, she gave her best characters an independent life we recognize as totally familiar. In A Few Green Leaves, her last novel, her heroine is Emma Howick, anthropologist. Through her eyes Barbara Pym examines in her own ironic and individual style the quiet revolution in English village life, combining the rural settings of her earliest novels with the themes and characters of her later works. The result is a compelling portrait of a town that seems to be forgotten by time, but which is unmistakably affected by it. Romance shares the pages with death in this engaging novel that is the culmination of Barbara Pym’s acclaimed writing career.''I''d sooner read a new Barbara Pym than a new Jane Austen'' - Philip Larkin, author of A Girl in Winter''Barbara Pym is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heart-breaking silliness of everyday life'' - Anne Tyler, author of The Accidental Tourist''A modern Jane Austen'' - Alexander McCall Smith, author of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series

Ivan Meštrovi? (1883-1962) - Ondřej Vojtěchovský, Sandra Baborovská, Barbara Vujanovi?
Monografie, do které přispělo deset domácích i zahraničních autorů, odborníků v oblastech dějin umění a historie, se zabývá různými aspekty uměleckého i politického života chorvatského sochaře Ivana Meštrovi?e (1883-1962).Věnuje se kontextu vývoje sochařství v době Meštrovi?ova uměleckého zrání, zejména během jeho vídeňských studí a působení v Paříži pod vlivem Augusta Rodina. Pozornost také zaměřuje na politický rámec Meštrovi?ova díla, které formovalo vizuální formu nacionální a státní ideologie někdejší Jugoslávie. Objevné poznatky přinášejí kapitoly o Meštrovi?ových vazbách na české prostředí a o české reflexi Meštrovi?ova díla. Autoři shodně poukazují na Meštrovi?ovo úsilí vyjadřovat se skrze parciální národní či náboženské motivy k obecně lidským tématům a univerzálním humanistickým hodnotám. Zároveň představují Meštrovi?e jako mezinárodně vysoce úspěšného umělce bořícího bariéry mezi údajnými centry a periferiemi světového umění.Kniha je dosud nejrozsáhlejší odbornou publikací věnovanou tomuto významnému sochaři v českém jazyce. Přináší řadu dosud nepublikovaných zobrazení, zejména pak snímky Meštrovi?ových soch od českého fotografa Josefa Sudka. Všechny texty jsou paralelně v češtině a angličtině.Součástí knihy je taktéž životopisná chronologie, reprinty textů o Meštrovi?ovi od předních českých výtvarných kritiků první poloviny 20. století a výběrová bibliografie zaměřená na českou produkci o Meštrovi?ovi. Kniha vychází u příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy uspořádané v Galerii hlavního města Prahy ve spolupráci s Muzei Ivana Meštrovi?e ve Splitu a Záhřebu.Editoři: Sandra Baborovská, Ondřej Vojtěchovský, Barbara Vujanovi?

By Your Side: My Life Loving Barbara Windsor - Scott Mitchell
''I''m so glad you had the life you did, Barbara. I''m sorry you can''t remember, but my God, what a life! You haven''t wasted a minute of it...''In December 2020, while the world was gripped with news of an imminent third lockdown, Scott Mitchell was visiting the care home where his partner and wife of 27 years - Dame Barbara Windsor - was being looked after. At the age of 83, after a career spanning seven decades and a seven-year battle with the debilitating effects of dementia, she was slipping away.Barbara''s illness meant she could no longer remember her magical career, and so Scott sat by her bedside in her final days, telling her tales from their extraordinary life together. From the unlikely moment they met to the challenges they faced, and the highs and lows of a life shared in the limelight. For theirs was an incredibly passionate relationship, but also a turbulent one - and along with a life of love and laughter, together they endured the pressures of fame, drink and addiction, heartbreak and ultimately dementia. He told Barbara stories of her wonderful achievements on and off screen, and the people who altered the trajectory of her life. From nine enormously successful and much-loved Carry On films to more than twenty years in Albert Square with the role of Peggy Mitchell. From director Joan Littlewood handpicking her for Sparrows Can''t Sing and her first husband Ronnie Knight and his links to the Kray twins, to her friendships with Sid James, Kenneth Williams and more.Weaving together an old-fashioned love story, a glittering life of showbiz and the true cost of dementia, By Your Side is a treasure trove for all of us who grew up watching and loving Dame Barbara. From the madness and the mayhem, the glorious highs and the devastating lows, to the fantastic fun she and Scott had along the way - this is an intimate, honest and incredibly personal account of a life spent loving Babs; a warm, colourful and heartfelt celebration of her rich, varied and remarkable life from the man who knew her best.
