The Watts Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice in Postman's Park, London, is a Victorian monument containing fifty-four ceramic plaques commemorating sixty-two individuals, each of whom lost their own life while attempting to save another. Every plaque tells a tragic and moving story, but the short narratives do little more than whet the appetite and stimulate the imagination about the lives and deaths of these brave characters. Based upon extensive historical research, this book will, for the first time, provide a full and engaging account of the dramatic circumstances behind each of the incidents, and reveal the vibrant and colourful lives led by those who tragically died.

A NEW YORK REVIEW BOOKS ORIGINAL Novels in Three Lines collects more than a thousand items that appeared anonymously in the French newspaper Le Matin in 1906—true stories of murder, mayhem, and everyday life presented with a ruthless economy that provokes laughter even as it shocks. This extraordinary trove, undiscovered until the 1940s and here translated for the first time into English, is the work of the mysterious Félix Fénéon. Dandy, anarchist, and critic of genius, the discoverer of Georges Seurat and the first French publisher of James Joyce, Fénéon carefully maintained his own anonymity, toiling for years as an obscure clerk in the French War Department. Novels in Three Lines is his secret chef-d’oeuvre, a work of strange and singular art that brings back the long-ago year of 1906 with the haunting immediacy of a photograph while looking forward to such disparate works as Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project and the Death and Disaster series of Andy Warhol.

Sat almost in the shadow of St Pauls Cathedral, Postman's Park is a hidden jewel in the City of London. Its visitors are a mix of those who stumble upon the green oasis by accident and faithful adherents who return year after year to see the one thing that makes this little park so very special. The Victorian Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice rather like those it commemorates, is an unsung highlight of London. Unvisited and unknown by many but dearly loved by those who have spent any length of time at all here. The memorial commemorates a group of men, women, boys and girls who lost their lives whilst attempting to save others. No-one who ever visits the memorial can ever forget the experience, usually an overwhelmingly sad, maudlin one with names and the briefest of descriptions of how one way or the other, the people remembered tragically lost their lives whilst saving or attempting to save the lives of others. I long ago had my heart touched and repeatedly so by this memorial and as I visit several times a week I have yet to notice that feeling go away. I hope it never does. I've been visiting the memorial on an almost daily basis as part of my job having created Ye Olde England Tours in 2013 and specialising in going to places in London that even Londoners don't seem to know. On the 6th February 2020 I was on the underground when a crazed man went to push two people off a tube train. Seeing what was about to transpire I pushed them both out of harms way only to be pushed backwards of the train myself, onto the edge of the platform and then down onto the tracks. Miraculously I made it through in almost one piece and after leaving St Bartholomew's Hospital, hobbled round to Postman's Park and sat in agony and somewhat bemused at what had transpired. I realised that not only had I risked my life to save two strangers but that it was only due to a stroke of luck that had prevented me suffering the same fate as those heroic names on the wall that I was so familiar with. I decided I wanted to visit the places that they had died, whether they were at all recognisable today after a century or more of wars and development. And even if the places aren't the same, I wanted a clearer idea of who they were, what they did. I felt a connection with these people and I wanted to travel in their footsteps so to speak. Angels of Postman's Park is part history book, part guide book (everything you need to visit the sites is inside) and part in some ways a personal journey, a pilgrimage perhaps. Over a year of traipsing around the darkest corners of London in all weathers visiting the scenes of long forgotten tragedies or at least places with strong connections to those involved. Like some of my other books, it isn't meant to be highly academic but rather a labour of love to some very special people I have never met but of whom I think of every day. I hope it does honour their courage and humanity just a little bit as someone who has walked a little way in their shoes.

The First World War was a catastrophe that engulfed not just the continent, but the rest of the world as well. It cost millions of lives, and changed the course of the century. 'Lest We Forget' provides an accessible overview of that titanic struggle, which was the foundation for the modern world and modern Britain, covering both life in the trenches and also life on the Home Front. It draws out the key events and themes that occurred throughout the conflict. The book provides both narrative and argument and will appeal to military historians and also students and soldiers interested in the Great War. It is split into 28 easy to read sections, including the following: The Road to War The Race to the Sea Life in the Trenches War Literature and Poetry The Battle of the Somme The War at Sea The Home Front Women and the War War in the Air Gallipoli The War around the World The Russian Revolution Armistice Stephen Liddell is a writer and historian and when not writing runs Ye Olde England Tours.

In 1995, before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire to move back to the States for a few years with his family, Bill Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite; a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy; place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey and Shellow Bowells; people who said 'Mustn't grumble', and ‘Ooh lovely’ at the sight of a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits; and Gardeners' Question Time. Notes from a Small Island was a huge number-one bestseller when it was first published, and has become the nation's most loved book about Britain, going on to sell over two million copies.

Essential lessons in hospitality for every business, from the former co-owner of legendary restaurant Eleven Madison Park. Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling New York City two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world. How did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room—and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality. Guidara’s team surprised a family who had never seen snow with a magical sledding trip to Central Park after their dinner; they filled a private dining room with sand, complete with mai-tais and beach chairs, to console a couple with a cancelled vacation. And his hospitality extended beyond those dining at the restaurant to his own team, who learned to deliver praise and criticism with intention; why the answer to some of the most pernicious business dilemmas is to give more—not less; and the magic that can happen when a busser starts thinking like an owner. Today, every business can choose to be a hospitality business—and we can all transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do—for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.

In November 2015, the book was again featured this time on the BBC when Stephen Liddell was interviewed live on air on the subject of homeowners so successfully monetising their homes that it is upsetting the hotel industry.***An Amazon 2013, 2014 and 2015 # 1 ranking best-seller in three sections including TRAVEL > Special Interest > Business and TRAVEL > Bed & Breakfast ***There are no other Airbnb-related books or authors with such a pedigree.Even better, here are some actual reviews from my Airbnb listing. As you can see from 2012 to 2016, I have been successfully making lots of money and making hundreds of tourists and long-term rentals happy at the same time in what as the BBC admitted is a very average home."This was my first Airbnb experience and I can honestly say it was wonderful. Stephen provided me with great directions to his place and how to get to my next location via the bus and tube. He was also a life saver when I realized I brought the wrong plug adapter and found one for me to use until I was able to purchase one. I highly recommend this Airbnb and would love to have another opportunity to come back in the future." Carly from California in January 2016"Stephen was an excellent host and made me feel very welcome. The house is clean and comfortable and the room was exactly as described. Although I didn't require them, the provision of towels and shower gel was a nice touch. The breakfast cupboard was also handy. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended." Nicola from Birmingham, U.K. October 2015"We loved everything about our stay! I only wish we were able to spend more time there! We will definitely be coming back to London, and definitely with Stephen and Emilia! The house is easy to find, the room was just as described. I'd have loved to spend more time at the house, but our time was limited. Stephen and Emilia were wonderful hosts, both very kind and helpful. I was hesitant when I booked - to stay at someone's home, but I have no regrets! "Lindsey from New York in February 2014"The sun did indeed shine in London during my stay with Emila and Stephen and no more radiantly than the friendly smiles of my hosts and their many kindnesses during my stay. My first Air bnb experience was a memorable one because of Emilia and Stephen. Their house is spotlessly clean, modern and conveniently located. They made my visit a memorable...
