| The Essential Spike Milligan By: Spike Milligan    | Just £3.75 for Father’s Day! George Orwell asserted that 'whatever is funny is subversive', and this was never truer than in the case of Spike Milligan. When Spike Milligan died in 2002, he left behind one of the most diverse legacies in British entertainment history - as well as a legion of devoted fans and admirers. This posthumous anthology provides a comprehensive guide to Milligan's work. | The Road to McCarthy By: Pete McCarthy   | Just £3.75 for Father’s Day! After the success of McCarthy's Bar, in which he described his travels around Ireland searching for pubs with his name, Pete McCarthy widened the scope of his researches in a hunt for the origins of the McCarthy clan. With plenty of humorous sketches of the people and places he meets on the way. McCarthy has an eye for detail and a Bryson-like appreciation of the absurd. Great fun! |
| On the Edge By: Richard Hammond  | Just £3.75 for Father’s Day! Richard Hammond is one of our most in-demand and best-loved television presenters. In September 2006, he suffered a serious brain injury following a high-speed car crash. ON THE EDGE is his compelling account of life before and after the accident and an honest description of his recovery, full of drama and incident. | Whicker's War By: Alan Whicker  | Just £3.75 for Father’s Day! Tells the story of Alan Whicker's remarkable war. Alan joined the Army Film and Photo Unit as an 18-year-old army officer, following the Allied advance through Italy, from Sicily to Venice. He filmed the troops on the front line, met Montgomery, and other military luminaries, filmed the battered body of Mussolini after his execution. |
| Infidelity for First-time Fathers By: Mark Barrowcliffe   | Just £3.75 for Father’s Day! Something's wrong in Stewart Dagman's life. Now at the age of 35, the party invitations that used to read 'Bring Bottles and First Aid kit. Eight till police raid' now say 'Ben is one. Help us celebrate. Please leave quietly before afternoon nap.' Life is moving on, and Dag wants to move with it. All he dreams of is someone to love, a family of his own and a half indecent sex life. | Angels and Demons By: Dan Brown  | Just £3.75 for Father’s Day! Equally enthralling as The Da Vinci Code. When a scientist is found brutally murdered, Harvard professor Robert Langdon is asked to identify the mysterious symbol seared onto the dead man's chest. Realising it must be the work of the Illuminati - an ancient secret brotherhood sworn against Catholicism - the race is on to prevent a tragedy. |
