Essex Dogs

The unmissable conclusion to the Essex Dogs trilogy from Sunday Times bestseller, Dan Jones.

Jones D: Lion Hearts

Lion Hearts

the richly drawn, action-packed historical adventure from the Sunday Times bestseller

THEY'RE TOLD TO FIGHT FOR THEIR KING. BUT IN BATTLE, THEY FIGHT FOR THEIR BROTHERS. Three years after the Essex Dogs battled through the Siege of Calais, the Black Death has torn through Europe. Romford, basking in his new riches, now finds himself living as a squire in the glamorous court of King Edward III. Loveday, whose businesses have been destroyed by the plague, is desperate to avoid returning to the life he vowed to abandon: fighting. And Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille. Each Dog has scattered in a radically different direction. Something explosive is about to pull them back together... The thrilling, unmissable conclusion to the Essex Dogs trilogy by Sunday Times bestselling historian, Dan Jones. Praise for THE ESSEX DOGS trilogy 'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!' ALICE WINN 'Dan Jones' fiction rings with the authority of his scholarly history.' PHILIPPA GREGORY 'A book that draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best, turning up tension click by click.' CONN IGGULDEN 'This is the Hundred Years' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a historian's eye for detail.' ELODIE HARPER 'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' DAILY MAIL

For the Dogs, the war has only just begun. Caught up in the siege of Calais, in the midst a brutal eleven-month blockade of a small port on the French coast, they are no longer blindly walking into the unknown. But the men still have more questions than answers about what faces them - and why. What are they really fighting for? And why does the king care so much about taking such a small French town? The Dogs aren't paid to ask questions but in their work, they have the means to make people talk. Soon, their journey will reveal who really wants this war to last for a hundred years. And as the battle rages, they hear the first, faint, chesty rattle of a natural disaster that is sweeping towards the Dogs and their world . . . Spanning the siege city built outside Calais' walls, to the pirate ships patrolling the harbour, and into the dark corners of oligarchs' houses, where the deals that shape - and end - lives are made, this captivating and brutal story brings the 1300s effortlessly to life. About money, merchants and the medieval ?deep state', this is a must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden. Praise for Essex Dogs: 'A new champion has entered the front line of historical fiction to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bernard Cornwell.' Jane Johnson 'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' Daily Mail 'A busy, urgent little masterpiece.' Graham Hurley 'With a cast of unforgettable characters, written with irrepressible verve and historical accuracy, Dan Jones delivers a compelling novel that thrums with swordswinging energy.' Simon Sebag Montefiore

The epic sequel to Essex Dogs from Sunday Times bestseller and historian Dan Jones

Wolves of Winter

The Sunday Times bestseller, BBC History 2022 Book of the Year and Richard &amp; Judy Book Club Pick from Dan Jones.
 
July 1346. The Hundred Years' War has begun, and King Edward and his lords are on the march through France. But this war belongs to the men on the ground.

Swept up in the bloody chaos, a tight-knit company from Essex must stay alive long enough to see their home again. With sword, axe and longbow, the Essex Dogs will fight, from the landing beaches of Normandy to the bloodsoaked field of Crécy.

There's Pismire, small enough to infiltrate enemy camps. Scotsman, strong enough to tear down a wall. Millstone, a stonemason who'll do anything to protect his men. Father, a priest turned devilish by the horrors of war. Romford, a talented young archer on the run from his past. And Loveday FitzTalbot, their battle-scarred captain, who just wants to get his boys home safe.

Some men fight for glory. Others fight for coin. The Essex Dogs? They fight for each other.

Praise for Essex Dogs:

'Oddly joyous - rolling action, fast-paced, a book that draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best, turning up tension click by click.' Conn Iggulden
'A new champion has entered the front line of historical fiction to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bernard Cornwell.' Jane Johnson 
'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' Daily Mail 
'Vital, earthy, and heart-stopping... So deft and funny that you'd never guess this is Dan Jones' debut work of fiction.' Suzannah Lipscomb 
'[Dan Jones'] mastery of his subject matter is obvious. The soldiers' lives are rather brilliantly recreated - the kit, the fighting, the boredom and discomfort.' The Times 
'Few books manage to be as compelling on every level as Essex Dogs: it's adventure, history, and heart.' Dana Schwartz 
'A busy, urgent little masterpiece.' Graham Hurley 
'Fascinating. Brutal. Real... Impossible to put down.' Simon Turney 
'Horribly compelling... Only Dan Jones can carry you through blood, piss and vomit and leave you wanting more.' Daisy Dunn 
'With a cast of unforgettable characters, written with irrepressible verve and historical accuracy, Dan Jones delivers a compelling novel that thrums with swordswinging energy.' Simon Sebag Montefiore 
'The battles that shaped Europe from the point of view of the soldiers... Searing.' Kate Williams 
'War. Looting. Junkies. Pintle-tugging. The English abroad. Dan Jones takes you to the year of Our Lord 1346.' Tibor Fischer

The epic Richard & Judy Book Club Pick from a Sunday Times bestselling historian

An intimate, moving novel that follows a group of women of a certain age who band together to help one another and their circle of friends as they face the challenges of their golden years.

Evensong

A spellbinding tale of female defiance and rage In a time outside time, in a world hemmed in by dark woods and silence, the villagers of Les Montes endure a life of hardship and submission. The land is stingy, the Lords are merciless, and for the village women, resistance is a futile dream. One day, a foundling appears at the edge of the forest. Madelaine grows up to be mysterious, magnetic, and shockingly adept with an axe. One day, she slaughters a stag in defiance of the Lord's decrees. The land, the laws, and the lives of those around her tremble in response, and a new destiny begins to take root. Madelaine Before the Dawn is a wild, lyrical novel about the inheritance of silence and the fire of female defiance. Collette has created an electrifying vision of revolt and resilience at the edge of civilization.

Generations of readers have fallen in love with Jane Austen's beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice. The sparkling Elizabeth Bennet, the taciturn Fitzwilliam Darcy, and an array of characters that range from irrepressible to almost irredeemable, move through this comedy of manners about the danger of first impressions. Set in a provincial world away from London, Austen's novel pokes fun at the machinations of courtship rituals, while celebrating the importance of friendship and sisterhood. Edited with a new Introduction by Patricia A. Matthew.

Pride and Prejudice

Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition

During an eventful season at Bath, young, naïve Catherine Morland experiences fashionable society for the first time, both its pleasures and its pitfalls. She is delighted with her new acquaintances: flirtatious Isabella, who shares Catherine's love of Gothic romance and horror, and sophisticated Henry and Eleanor Tilney, who invite her to their father's mysterious house, Northanger Abbey. There, Cather learns the danger of an active imagination. With its broad comedy and irrepressible heroine, this is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's works. Edited with an Introduction by Patricia A. Matthew.

Northanger Abbey

Historically the law of tort has offered limited protection for personal privacy however, since the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998 this branch of the law of tort has seen rapid development. This book analyses the extent to which the law of tort currently affords protection against invasions of personal privacy and the remedies that are available. The book considers tort law and privacy in other common law jurisdictions including the US, Australia and New Zealand. It then goes on to explore the potential for a common law tort to be developed which would be capable of offering broader protection for personal privacy and its prospects for statutory codification.

Elphie

Routledge Library Editions: Work & Society

Originally published in 1964, at a time of much public unease regarding redundancy, this book contains the results of a comprehensive survey, inspired by a suggestion of the then Minister of Labour that the mass redundancies in the Midlands motor industry of 1956 merited a full-scale investigation. The findings are based on an analysis of a 1 in 10 sample of men made redundant in Birmingham in the period. Among the matters examined are the difficulties encountered in obtaining work after redundancy; the range of geographical mobility and the role played by the then employment exchanges in securing new employment. Other chapters focus on the financial hardship caused; the resort to savings and the impact of the redundancies on the gender balance in the workforce. The impact of the dismissals on trade union affiliation is also considered, as are the men's verdicts on the 'fairness' of the selection procedure adopted.
