Diana: Her New Life by Andew Morton

Diana: Her New Life by Andew Morton lands on the |> SALE <| shelves in my shop.

Michael O'Mara, 1994, Hardback in dust wrapper.

Illustrated by way of: Colour Photographs;

From the cover: "The publication of Andrew Morton's Diana, Her True Story in 1992 shook the royal family to its very foundations. The book's many revelations — that Prince Charles had been having a long-term affair, that the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales had been a sham, that the Princess had been suffering from an eating disorder and had made several halfhearted suicide attempts — were initially greeted with disbelief. But as time passed it became clear that the book was, as its title claimed, Diana's true story, especially when the couple announced their separation in December 1992. When Prince Charles eventually admitted his adultery on television, he put the final seal of confirmation on Andrew Morton's claims.

Diana s friends were hopeful that the separation from Charles, which ended years of living a lie, would bring Diana the freedom to find happiness in a new role. But has she? With her marriage in limbo and her children only occasionally by her side, Diana's position in the royal family is one of increasing isolation. Diana, Her New Life chronicles the secret battles that have raged behind closed doors, and Dianas constant frustration as she endeavours to break free from the restrictions of her semi-detached royal life.

With the help of some of Dianas closest friends and advisors, Andrew Morton is once again able to strip away the royal propaganda and reveal how Diana, who became a princess before she had reached maturity, is at last learning to become a woman in her own right rather than a puppet of the palace. Andrew Morton exposes the in-fighting and intrigue behind the separation, and Diana's private thoughts on her retirement from public life, on remarriage, the men in her life and the grooming of Prince William for his future role.

Illustrated with 32 pages of remarkable colour photographs, Diana, Her New Life will give a fresh focus on the human story behind the most sensational royal crisis since the Abdication."

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds by Joan Palmer

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds by Joan Palmer lands on the |> SALE <| shelves in my shop.

Eagle Editions, 2007, Paperback.

Illustrated by way of: Colour Photographs; Tables;

From the cover: "Essential reading for growing numbers of dog-lovers throughout the world, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of canines available. Featuring more than 200 breeds, it ranges from the sleek-bodied Pharaoh Hound, which once coursed the sands of ancient Egypt, to the highly prized Shar-pei, the popular Golden Retriever and the crowd-pleasing Yorkshire Terrier.

An introductory section covers the history of dogs, ranging back over the millennia to the wild dogs which first warmed themselves at the fires of early humans. There follow sections on the anatomy, physiology and psychology of the dog, and specialist terminology is illustrated with examples taken from the breeds featured in the Encyclopedia. Photographs, maps and drawings show how particular conformations and characteristics have evolved into the groupings which are recognised today.

Lavishly illustrated, the 211-page directory of breeds is presented by group in the order: non-sporting, working, herding, gundogs, hounds, terriers and toy. The background to each breed is detailed — its origins, development, characteristics and, where applicable, mode of working. Breed standards are given as well as care boxes for at-a-glance tips for looking after each breed. Also featured are some 79 rare breeds, ranging from the ancient Hellenic Hound to the highly specialised Lundehund, or Norwegian Puffin Dog."
