Lord Mayford liebt die Ruhe seines Landsitzes. Hin und wieder besucht er London, auch wenn er das Stadtleben oft anstrengend findet. Das gilt besonders, wenn Mrs. Starke gerade eine ihrer Entdeckungsfahrten plant. Eine Reise mit Freizeit-Archäologen ist das Letzte, wonach Lord Mayford der Sinn steht. Doch nachdem er in eine Wette mit dem unbeholfenen Lord Doddlington verwickelt wird, finden sich beide unerwartet auf einer Expedition nach Ägypten wieder. "Lord Mayford und die Expedition nach Ägypten" ist eine Abenteurerzählung aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert voller Wortwitz im Stil von P.G. Wodehouse. Lord Mayford likes the peace and quiet of his country estate. Every now and then he visits London, even if he finds city life often strenuous. This is especially true when Mrs Starke is planning one of her voyages of discovery. A journey with spare-time archaeologists is the last thing Lord Mayford wants. But after he gets embroiled in a wager with the bumbling Lord Doddlington, both find themselves unexpectedly on an expedition to Egypt. The story of Lord Mayford and the expedition to Egypt is an early 19th century adventure tale filled with wordplay in the style of P.G. Wodehouse.

A historian reveals the grittier side of Regency England, far from the country houses and costume balls of high society. Often upheld as a period of elegance with many achievements in the fine arts and architecture, the Regency era also encompassed a time of great social, political, and economic upheaval. In this insightful social history, the emphasis is on the lives of those not born into nobility—what it was like for the poor, and what challenges they faced. Using a wide range of sources, James Hobson shares the stories of real people. He explores corruption in government and elections, “bread or blood” rioting, the political discontent felt, and the revolutionaries involved. He explores attitudes to adultery and marriage, and the moral panic about homosexuality. Grave robbery is exposed, along with the sharp pinch of food scarcity, prison, and punishment. Venturing beyond the images we have from Jane Austen’s novels or costume-drama films, this book reveals a society where the popular hatred of the Prince Regent was widespread and where laws and new capitalist attitudes oppressed the poor—a society in the throes of change.

Marvel at the Queen's Ass, gaze at the celestial heavens through the eyes of the past and be amazed by the equestrian feats of the Norwich Nymph. Journey to the debauched French court at Versailles, travel to Covent Garden and take your seat in a box at the theater and, afterwards, join the mile-high club in a newfangled hot air balloon. Meet actresses, whores and highborn ladies, politicians, inventors, royalty and criminals as we travel through the Georgian era in all its glorious and gruesome glory. In roughly chronological order, covering the reign of the four Georges, 1714-1830 and set within the framework of the main events of the era, these tales are accompanied by over 100 stunning color illustrations.

It is not surprising that when the first great History of the Island of Jersey appeared in 1959 it enjoyed such immediate popularity that it soon ran out of print. The result of long years of careful and scholarly research by G.R. Balleine, it was instantly accepted as the definitive history of the island. Books are often described as a classic, but few justify the accolade as thoroughly as this great work, which enjoys an unrivalled pre-eminence in Jersey literature. This new edition will maintain its position as the book on Jersey well into the next millennium. It will be welcomed by Jersey people everywhere.
