Dear Readers,A belated Happy New Year to you all!

Welcome to the Spring 2015 issue of Shop Window packed with new gift ideas

for St George’s Day. We are delighted to present a new range of gifts designed by

Alison Gardiner, including giclée prints, a tea towel, coasters, fridge magnets

and more. After the great success of stained glass window roundels last year, we

have two new designs: St. George and the Dragon and Tudor Rose.

Once again, I urge you to pre-order our new, beautifully illustrated publication

“Explore England”, a 100-page guide to places to visit, which will be available by

the end of March. It's packed with interesting articles about England.

There are some interesting titles in our DVD section — from “Cathedral Cities”,

through a fascinating account of England’s early queens, “She-Wolves”, to a

nostalgic 1950s’ motorsport chronicle “A Gentleman’s Motor Racing Diary”.

Look out for new cross stitch kits, a delightful collection of fl ower images

in a watercolour style and a set of 4 butterfl y coasters. These designs are just

perfect for spring — may it come soon!

There is plenty more

so keep browsing!

With kind regards,

Stephen Garnett (Editor)

The First World War in 100 ObjectsObjects allow us to reach out and touch the past and they play a living role in history today. They bear witness to the stories of men whose only morning comfort in the trenches was the rum ration, children who grew up with only one photograph of the father they would never get to know, women who would sacrifi ce their girlhood in hospitals just yards from the front line, pinning a brooch on to remind themselves of a past life. New weapons that transformed the battlefi eld, planes that had barely learnt to be fl own, German submarines that stalked shipping across the seas. Through these incredible artefacts, Peter Doyle shows the First World War in a whole new light. (352pp, hardback)

The Kings and Queens of EnglandFor anyone remotely interested in royal affairs, discovering who did what, where, when and how, then this book has all the answers. Don’t be put off by the number of pages because it is a highly engaging, concise and readable account of all our monarchs. Starting with Athelstan in 925AD, it covers every king and queen in 58 relatively short chapters. A chapter a night will therefore take you just two months to travel more than 1,000 years. A real bargain! (512pp, paperback) Code: LKQE

Virginia Woolf & Vanessa Bell: A Childhood in St. IvesVirginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell are perhaps the best-known female icons of English art in the early twentieth century. Marion Whybrow provides a valuable insight into the family life of the Stephen sisters, and into St Ives itself, a fi shing port and artists’ colony on ‘the toe-nail of England.’ The book opens with a portrait of St Ives as it was at the time of the Stephen family’s regular visits, and also of its indigenous life and that of the

artistic community. The author’s vivid depiction of the sisters is enhanced by illustrations that illuminate them and their world of St Ives. (128pp, hardback) Code: LCHIV

Real Railway TalesRunning a railway is a complex business, constantly throwing up drama, misadventure and the unexpected. Geoff Body and Bill Parker have collated a rich selection of railwaymen’s memories and anecdotes to create an enjoyable book of escapades and mishaps, illustrating the daily obstacles faced on the railways, from handling the new Eurostar to train catering, nights on the Tay Bridge to rail ‘traffi c cops’, and from mystery derailments to track subsidence. However interesting the infrastructure of the large and varied railway business may be, the real heart of this great industry lies in its people and the complex jobs they occupy. (174pp, paperback)

More Tales from Lark RiseMost people will be acquainted with Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson, but readers who enjoyed that classic account of life in an Oxfordshire village during the 1880s might not be aware that Flora’s younger sister, Betty Timms, was also a talented writer. In this equally evocative book, Betty describes characters and events in Juniper Hill and Cottisford in the next decade, with charming descriptions of schooldays, cottage life and village celebrations, as well as vivid portraits of the characters she encountered while growing up.

Old Codger's CookbookThe author, David Curwen, in his early 80s had found himself having to learn to cook or starve, so he set about the task with great success. Having learnt these skills, he decided to write this book, mainly aimed at others who might fi nd themselves in a similar situation. But David wrote as he spoke, so whilst this book contains numerous practical recipes for a whole variety of items, he diverts on to a wide range of topics. In particular this is a paean in praise of living in an English village in the heart of the countryside, as well as a very useful book of 15 full recipes, plus a chapter on vegetables.

'Blinker' Hall SpymasterAdmiral Sir Reginald 'Blinker' Hall, the Director of Naval Intelligence for most of the First World War, was one of the outstanding if largely unrecognized naval leaders of the confl ict. His dynamic leadership, talent for lateral thinking and force of personality were essential in defeating the U-boats. Above all, he was endowed with the guile and ruthlessness which kept him one step ahead of a formidable and determined enemy and their widespread espionage and subversion operations. In "'Blinker' Hall: Spymaster", David Ramsay examines this fascinating man and his invaluable legacy. (320pp, paperback) Code: LBHS

When Britain Went to War:The Real Story of Life on the Home FrontWhen Britain went to war everyone in the country was involved, whether they were in the military or civilians whose jobs were vital to the war effort. We all think we know what happened in Britain during that time. There was the blackout, the Blitz, the shortages and the rationing. But there was also football, fashion, entertainment, humour and even Christmas! This is the real, everyday story of British men, women and children who fought a daily battle to keep the home fi res burning. It’s illustrated with many previously unseen photographs.

English Heritage (3 DVD set)This BBC documentary series follows English Heritage as it embarks on four major new projects - but what was intended and what actually happened were two very different things. There is comedy, chaos and bitter political controversy as massive losses ensue, the credit crunch bites and essential projects are thrown off track.

She-Wolves: England’s Early Queens (3 DVD set)In the medieval and Tudor world there was no question in people's minds about the order of God's creation — men ruled and women didn't. A king was a warrior who literally fought to win power then battled to keep it. Yet despite everything that stood in their way, a handful of extraordinary women did attempt to rule medieval and Tudor England. On this DVD, historian Dr Helen Castor explores seven queens who challenged male power, the fi erce reactions they provoked and whether the term 'she wolves' was deserved.

Lost Images of BristolYour journey into Bristol’s proud and distinguished history, illustrated by previously unseen colour paintings and other rare archive material, begins at the River Frome in Stapleton and quickly heads into the very heart of the city. But this fi lm is so much more than a collection of historic images, as it includes a host of interesting tales which reveal the city’s rich heritage. (75 minutes, PAL format only)

Yesterday’s Country VillageTake a walk down history’s rural byways into the heart of everyday village life as it was from 1900 to 1960. The traditional spirit of the small country village is fondly remembered, but what was it really like to live in these communities? Here is a unique chance to recall those bygone days, as villages around Britain are visited through interviews, photographs, rare archive footage and stunning modern fi lm. (100 minutes, PAL format only)

Branch Lines of SomersetMost of Somerset’s branch lines were closed during or before Beeching’s cuts of the 1960s, and these are examined in depth on our journey, from the 792-yard branch at Dunball Wharf near Bridgwater to the industrial railways of North Somerset. Happily, the county is well blessed with some fi ne preserved lines: the beautiful East Somerset Railway at Cranmore; the West Somerset Railway, England’s longest standard-gauge heritage railway and many more. Packed with wonderful images, stunning modern fi lm, archive footage excerpts and fascinating interviews, this DVD is essential viewing for railway enthusiasts.
