New Releases by Humphrey Carpenter

Mrs Chipchase, the nasty dinner lady, makes lunch hour at St Barty''s really unpleasant. That is, for everyone but her ''favourite friend'', Hamish Bigmore. Up to his usual tricks, Hamish is allowed to eat chocolate instead of ghastly school dinners Mr Majeika decides it''s time to sort out the menu.

The first truly comprehensive biography of the controversial poet. The compassionate narrative does not flinch before the poet''s eccentric personality and later involvement with Fascist ideology, and brings absorbing new detail to his years of incarceration for treason. Exhaustively researched. Carpenter also provides a bibliography of biographical references and notes on sources. Highly recommended. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
