This title traces the evolution of chromolithography from its tentative beginnings in the early 19th century to its dominant industrial position in the 50 years before World War I. The story ends with its gradual decline commercially and revival as an artistic medium in the mid-20th century. The book considers the process from a global standpoint and makes connections between developments in various European countries between Europe and the United States.

In the second edition of the definitive account of Igor Stravinsky's life and work, arranged in two separate sections, Eric Walter White revised the whole book, completing the biographical section by taking it up to Stravinsky's death in 1971. To the list of works, the author added some early pieces that have recently come to light, as well as the late compositions, including the Requiem Canticles and The Owl and the Pussycat. Four more of Stravinsky's own writings appear in the Appendices, and there are several important additions to the bibliography.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised and edited by John Evans (research scholar to the Britten Estate) who has updated the chronological list of published works and included in the bibliography the many books that have been written about the composer since his death in 1976. Although, as the title suggests, this book concentrates on Britten's operatic output, Mr White's account offers insights into the whole range of this prodigious composer's music. The text is lavishly illustrated with plates that reveal both the diversity of his operatic development and comprise a distinctive pictorial bibliography.

Fantasy fiction. Connor's Folly is the second volume in Robert C Auty's gripping fantasy quest series Trance Warriors, which began with the epic adventure The Siege of Scarn. In the aftermath of the bloody siege, Connor - Grynn king - has left behind his friends (but not his enemies), in search of the White Palace, where he will perfect his t̀rancing' abilities. On his travels, he encounters new peoples and new lands - from a former Askari slave to the brave and fearsome Norsemen, transplant- ed warriors from mythology who travel the oceans in their dragon boats. With his powerful, page-turning second novel, Robert C Auty makes his mark on the fantasy landscape, hailing the arrival of a major new talent in the genre.

The Noël Coward Reader offers a wonderfully wide-ranging selection—the first of its kind—of the best of the Master’s oeuvre, entertainingly annotated and abundantly illustrated, and including material that has never before been published. Here are scenes from Coward’s famous plays, from Private Lives to Blithe Spirit, and his screenplays, from Brief Encounter to In Which We Serve. Here are four of his best short stories, scenes from his only novel, and a generous selection of his verse, alongside the lyrics of many of his most sublime songs, including “Mad Dogs and Englishmen,” “The Stately Homes of England,” and “Mad About the Boy.” The Noël Coward Reader is a must-have book both for those who adore his work and for those who are just discovering the many-faceted delights of his comic genius.
