by: Charles Campion

September 06, 2007
Very excited to see Campion's new guide is now available. He has chosen some wonderful restaurants, among some of my favorites whenever in London. But I'm particularly thrilled to see one of my favorite restaurants in the world, Al Waha, on his top 10 list.

I've had the best meal in my life at Al Waha, and am so pleased to see the restauranted honoured by Campion.

found it impossible to understand. it's pretty much written in long-winded language that doesn't make any sense. you'd do better to get yourself another book on the subject!

.Bodyline Autopsy: The Full Story of the Most Sensational Test Cricket Series - England Vs. Australia 1932-3
Search: England
by: David Frith

September 25, 2003
I have seen newsreel footage of Harold Larwood bowling in this series. It brings a tingle to the spine - in particular the critical moment of the whole series, whereby a delivery unleashed from Larwood struck wicketkeeper-batsman Bert Oldfield on the head and fractured his skull in the Third Test at Adelaide.

It is difficult today to understand the impact that Bodyline had on cricket. Fast leg-theory had been practiced certainly since Victorian times, but never with bowlers of such pace, ferocity and consistency as Harold Larwood and Bill Voce, the Nottinghamshire duo, and never with a field set so aggressively - most fielders behind square leg, and no-one on the off side further forward than Point. Risk getting hit, fend off a ... Read More:

."Time Out" Shortlist Manchester (Time Out Shortlist Manchester)
Search: England
by: Time Out Guides Ltd

April 05, 2007
Compact, informative gem of a book covering all the main tourist attractions Manchester has to offer along with restaurants and bars with short reviews. Useful things it includes is web addresses, opening times and costs of activities and attractions. Includes maps of areas which makes it easier to plan days out. I have lived in Manchester for 5 years and it still has many gems in this book that I still need to discover. A book that I now refer to as 'my Manchester bible'

.Intrigue In The Village
Search: England
by: Rebecca Shaw

August 05, 2004
For me this is the best of the series, made even better by listening to it on long journeys. Without going into story details, you will be hard pressed not to want to know what happens next once you switch this on. It is also an audio book you can not listen to only once. Can I say anything bad about these Turnham Malpas series of books, in a word no. Good fun, great characters and easy listening, just right for the car.

.A Journal of the Plague Year (Dover Thrift)
Search: England
by: Daniel Defoe

November 30, 2001
Imagine every other person in your social circle, family, friends, workplace and high street dropping dead. This was the reality of the Black Death, at least in the more crowded settlements. A tragedy beyond imagination that Defoe brings alive.

It's not the mortality that grips you, catastrophic as they were, but how people, even close relatives, shunned each other because of the near-certainty of contracting the disease and ending up dead themselves.

It's probably my duty to highlight, too, that the Black Death was almost certainly not bubonic plague as it doesn't fit the facts of how the disease spread, but hemorrhagic fever. One of the key pieces of evidence is the outbreak of plague in Iceland, which is known not to harbour a ... Read More:

.Daniel Deronda (Penguin Classics)
Search: England
by: George Eliot

October 26, 1995
Although academically Middlemarch is always regarded as Eliot's masterpiece, I've always thought this novel deserves the title. Unlike another reviewer here I don't think the characters are either shallow or 2-dimensional, and it's important that Gwendolen starts off as being a conventional spoilt beauty because that makes her growth and change all the more compelling and significant.
As a woman writing in 19th century England, Eliot bravely highlights the impacts of poverty and the implications for women who are forced to prostitute themselves effectively in the marriage market, since a career is out of the question. This is the dark underside of Jane Austen and an important antidote to that sunny view of male/female relationships and the economic reality behind ... Read More:
