Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “delicious . . . champagne cocktail” of a stage comedy about a sporting British couple’s marital—and extramarital—propositions (New York Herald Tribune). Victor Rhodes, a hearty and amiable dentist in North London, has what he thinks is a happy marriage. It’s stable, routine, and comfortably platonic. Five years and counting, his wife, Mary, feels the same way. That’s why she’s taken a secret lover—their good friend, Clive Root, an antiquarian bookseller for whom relieving complaisant husbands of their duty is a pleasure. But when Mary and Clive connive a rendezvous in Amsterdam, their getaway takes a surprising turn with a visit from Victor. What’s now at risk for Mary is more than a marriage to a man she genuinely loves but also a perfectly fulfilling affair with a man she truly desires. In this “sin-and-tonic work of art,” Mary isn’t about to give up either of them (Spectator). “An expert at badinage full of quiet English verve, Mr. Greene writes with smooth sophistication” in his last play—a comedy of lies, cheats, and betrayals—produced by Sir John Gielgud at the Globe Theatre, London, in 1959 (The New York Times). Two years later, it debuted on Broadway, with a cast including Sandy Dennis, Michael Redgrave, and Gene Wilder.

Book excerpt: I’m Sam, the werewolf book nerd owner of The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar. My husband, Master vampire Clive, has been asked to go to Budapest to interview for a position in the Guild, a council of thirteen vampires who advise the world’s Masters. The competition for the recently vacated spot is fierce. I worry about Clive, as it quickly becomes apparent that the last person to hold the position didn’t leave voluntarily. Ever the supportive wife, I’m tagging along. I researched Budapest and had a long itinerary of things to do. That is, I did. When we arrive, we find out that the Guild headquarters is in the ruins of an abandoned insane asylum. Awesome. If there’s one thing I love, it’s being hounded by mentally unstable Hungarian ghosts. Let’s just say this isn’t the romantic getaway I’d been hoping for. With Clive in top secret meetings and a bunch of creepy Renfields skulking around corners, nowhere is safe. I want to help Clive because I know he really wants the job, but the other Guild members are ancient and scary powerful. Between you and me, I thought Vlad would be taller. Wish us luck! We’re going to need it.
Download or read book All Muck and Mullets written by Samantha Nash and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of short stories will make you wet yourself laughing, well up with tears, shake your head in disbelief and even cringe at 80s style memories… Good humour, like good cheese, gets riper with age and this is very much the case with All Muck and Mullets, a light-hearted look at life in the 1980s in the heart of rural England. We spend a year in the company of a colourful collection of eccentric but endearing characters from the peculiar village of Adderstey. Beginning in May 1985, the twelve chapters of the book take us through each month as various hilarious events unfold at the expense of the residents. Prepare for village brawls, Women’s Institute ladies getting fruity on hash cakes, sponsored drinking events, tantrums among the amateur dramatics group, naked druidic rituals in the forest, campanologists indulging in a spot of 'swinging' in the bell tower, sporadic poaching and cattle rustling… Some chapters have darker storylines than others, but most have an element of humour cleverly interwoven into the plot and readers will quickly grow fond of the characters. Did Craigie’s highly alcoholic entrepreneurial activities put the residents of the old folks' home into intensive care? Who severed Rick the Shop’s ponytail? And who really knocked up Olivia, the local land owner’s daughter? All Muck and Mullets will appeal to those who enjoy short stories with humour. Reminiscent of Tom Sharpe’s writing, the tale is akin to a more gritty version of The Darling Buds of May, with naughty bits thrown in for good measure! Whether at home or on the move, this book is the perfect companion for anyone in need of a good laugh.

Download or read book John Charles written by Mario Risoli and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Whenever I look at him, it is as though the Messiah has returned.’ That's how Jimmy Murphy, manager of Wales’ 1958 World Cup side, described John Charles. In Italy, where he played for Juventus and Roma, Charles was known as Il Gigante Buono – the Gentle Giant – because of his placid temperament. One of the greatest footballers Britain has ever produced, Charles left his native Swansea at 16 to join Leeds United, where his phenomenal strike rate helped the club reach the First Division for the first time in its history. His goal-scoring exploits at Ellan Road then attracted the attention of Juventus, who paid a British record of £65,000 to take him to Turin in 1957. Charles went on to score an incredible 105 goals in 178 appearances for I Bianconeri – the Black and Whites – and helped them to win three Series A titles in five years. In contrast to his humble upbringing in South Wales, he enjoyed a glamorous lifestyle in Italy. However, it was not all glory. A disasterous return to Leeds United in 1962 was followed by a spell at Roma, where he struggled to recapture his past form. The man who was treated as a god in Turin wound down his playing career with Cardiff City before turning to management in the Southern League. This detailed and engrossing biography contains candid interviews with former teammates and family members and follows Charles’ life after football, detailing his failed business ventures and his brave fight against cancer.
