What was life really like in a grammar school in the 1950s and '60s? For those educated at a grammar school during their heyday, this time holds very special memories. They were more than just the years of being taught Latin and domestic science, custard and semolina school dinners, and learning about the birds and the bees; they were the formative years of a generation, when those from all walks of life were given a uniform, a code of behaviour and, most importantly, pride in the institution to which they belonged. This generation of Baby Boomers holds a unique place in British history: growing up during the years when the country was emerging from the shadow cast by the Second World War, they were the first youngsters to benefit from the 'mod cons' and innovations which were gradually being introduced. With fascinating memories and details that will resonate with thousands of grammar school pupils across the country, School Songs and Gymslips is a heart-warming collection of the experiences of the author and her contemporaries during a golden era. MARILYN YURDAN attended Holton Park Girls' Grammar School in Oxfordshire during the 1950s and '60s. She has been awarded a Master of Studies in English Local History from the University of Oxford, and has written numerous books, including Oxford in the 1950s & '60s. She lives in Abingdon.

Elizabeth Ambler started compiling her household book of cures in the early eighteenth century, including historic treatments passed down over the decades. These intriguing remedies include Sir Walter Raleigh's Receipt against Plague, Viper Broth and Snail Milk Water, as well as Ginger Bread and Apricot Ratafia. In addition to traditional flowers and herbs, ingredients consist of precious stones, exotic and expensive spices, and large amounts of brandy and wine. Set against the backdrop of the family's country houses, silverware and lavish portraits, this book is much more than just a collection of curiosities: it offers a fascinating insight into the sickness and health of our Georgian ancestors, and into what really went on in their kitchens.

In The Other in the School Stories: A Phenomenon in British Children’s Literature Ulrike Pesold examines the portrayal of class, gender, race and ethnicity in selected school stories and shows how the treatment of the Other develops over a period of a century and a half. The study also highlights the transition from the traditional school story to the witch school story that by now has become a subgenre of its own. The school stories that are analysed include selected works by Thomas Hughes, Rudyard Kipling, Enid Blyton and J.K. Rowling.

Home to all three armed services, Plymouth was greatly affected by both major conflicts of the twentieth century. Between 1914 and 1918, Devonport Dockyard was responsible for much routine repair and maintenance work as well as building new ships and submarines, while the Royal Marines and army battalions were active in various theatres of war overseas, and Mount Batten became one of the major stations of the newly formed Royal Air Force. During the Second World War, few cities in England suffered more devastating damage, with the heart of the old city destroyed and a death toll of 1,172. Richly illustrated and filled with true tales of local heroism and the unbreakable spirit of the people of Plymouth during these tumultuous years, this book looks at how the city fared during the wars and played her part in victory.

This is a history of women’s cricket with a difference. It is the first book to trace in detail the development of the game at grass-roots level. Based on the author’s own knowledge built up over 30 years of involvement in women’s cricket, backed up by extensive in-depth research, it connects the development of the game locally with important national trends and examines the links between women’s cricket and wider social trends such as the position of women in society. A Novel Match at Cricket also attempts to answer some important questions, such as the reasons for the booms and slumps which have occurred in women’s cricket and the role that men have played helping and hindering the development of the female game. This book also looks at the lessons history has to teach those who are running women’s cricket today. It will appeal not only to those interested in cricket, but also to students of social history, particularly people engaged in women’s studies.

'A COUNTRY THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE – NOT JUST THE PRIVILEGED FEW' In these historically turbulent times, the United Kingdom will need a leader for the ages, and with those words the nation's new Prime Minister underlined her commitment to creating a better Britain. Only the second woman to hold office at 10 Downing Street, Theresa May inherits the most difficult political mandate of recent times: to negotiate Britain's exit from the European Union and re-establish its place in the wider world. She is known as an uncompromising, tenacious and fiercely moral political operator who has risen through the ranks the hard way, through profound competence instead of cronyism. Her premiership promises to overthrow what she calls the 'Nasty Party' image the Conservative Party has brought upon itself through infighting, career-politicking and dishonesty, and restore a steady hand to the tiller of a nation in turmoil. But there is much more to her story than has emerged in the wake of the Brexit vote. In Theresa May: The Downing Street Revolution, experienced journalist and political observer Virginia Blackburn examines the astonishing career, the politics, and the quite remarkable life, of the woman who is tasked with changing not just the public face of the Conservatives, but the very fabric of the United Kingdom itself.

In 2016, the British people voted in favor of Brexit, or Great Britain leaving the European Union. Immediately following that vote, Prime Minister David Cameron resigned, and the task of handling Brexit ultimately landed in the hands of Theresa May. May had previously been a Parliamentarian and, later, Britain's Home Secretary, cultivating a reputation for being a force for modernization in the Conservative Party. Brexit, however, has proven to be a difficult and convoluted task, even for the capable and hardworking May. Enhanced by a timeline, bibliography, and suggestions for further reading, Theresa May is a fascinating account of the life and career of Britain's second female prime minister.

Theere follows a return to England where she is subjected to mistreatment and surrounded by mysteries. A love of music was displayed at age two, but always discouraged.
