Following the best-selling Summer of a Dormouse, Sir John Mortimer - playwright, novelist, octogenarian, and erstwhile QC - offers up more lessons in living and growing old disgracefully. What would we like to leave to our descendants? Not a third-rate painting or our PEPS, according to Sir John, but a love of Shakespeare, a taste for alcohol, the ability to defeat boredom, the importance of never locking the lavatory door, and so on.

As the eldest daughter of a prolific letter writer, Jane Torday received hundreds of letters from her father over the years. From irreverent advice and hilarious family anecdotes to moments of great poignancy, Roger Mortimer‘s missives are a touching and witty portrait of his life and relationships over the years. Dearest Jane begins with Roger’s time as a young army officer in Egypt, and then as a POW in the Second World War, where his sense of humour endured despite the conditions.

Herrlich britischer Humor und ein liebenswürdig verpeilter Held. Der Super-Bestseller aus UK. "Mein Name ist Gary. Ich bin dreißig Jahre alt und arbeite in einer Kanzlei in London. Wenn Sie mich träfen, würden Sie mich wahrscheinlich als unscheinbar bezeichnen. Ich hatte einen tollen Draht zu einer Frau entwickelt, doch das flog mir voll um die Ohren und verpasste mir einen Tritt in den Hintern." Gary Thorn lernt im Pub eine Frau kennen. Er ist schockverliebt, nur ihren Namen bekommt er nicht mit. Als sie geht, weiß Gary nichts von ihr außer dem Titel des Buches, das sie las: "Der Satsuma-Komplex".

Lord Titmuss is still a figure with formidable influence in his constituency, but now the Conservatives face a difficult by-election after the strange death of the sitting Tory MP. Terry Flitton, the New Labour candidate, is confident of victory. But Titmuss seems to know a great deal about Terry, and quite a lot about the late and unmourned MP.... The Sound of Trumpets represents the triumphant completion of a political trilogy that began with Paradise Postponed and Titmuss Regained.

Despite the tensions of a world still recovering from World War I, during the summer of 1926, the story that enthralled the public revolved around four young American swimmers - Gertrude Ederle, Mille Gade, Lillian Cannon, and Clarabelle Barrett - who battled the weather, each other, and considerable odds to become the first woman to conquer the brutal waters of the English Channel. The popular East Coast tabloids from New York to Boston engaged in rivalries nearly as competitive as the swimmers themselves.

Of all the questions that arise from the Shakespeare authorship debate, one is more perplexing than any other. Why does neither camp apply the sort of analysis that professional historians are able to apply to the question? In any other debate about 16th century events, historians would be summoned in droves. But when it comes to Shakespeare, everybody feels he or she is at liberty to proceed without professional historical input. In this speech, Dr. Mortimer applies a professional historical methodological approach to the authorship question.

Attaccarsi alla bottiglia è il miglior modo con cui Gary Thorn riesce a ottenere qualunque risultato, che sia passare una serata o risolvere casi impossibili. Ma andiamo con ordine: Gary, il nostro protagonista, non è proprio un tipo anonimo, ma è anche vero che raramente qualcuno si sofferma più di tanto a guardarlo. Una sera, va a bere una birra con il suo (unico) amico Brendan. Il quale, però, lo molla a metà pinta; a quel punto una brunetta si avvicina a Gary (strano!), comincia a flirtare (ancor più strano!), finché, appena lui si volta dall'altra parte... anche lei sparisce.

Henry IV is not famous except for the plays that bear his name: He is not even a "much-maligned" king. He is normally overshadowed by his far more famous son, Henry V, despite his many achievements. Shakespeare is partly to blame for Henry's diminution and his son's exaggerated stature but not completely; we just don't know what to make of a man who took the throne from the rightful king.
