Published annually from 1757 to 1795, Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies was a notorious directory of prostitutes working in London at a time when it is claimed one in five women made a living from selling sex.The descriptions for each lady generally include the address she can be found and a description of her attributes along with her expected remuneration.Although usually complimentary some of the descriptions are critical of bad habits or occasionally derisory.The directories were published anonymously, but it is thought that the original lists were written by Samuel Derrick a Dublin born "hack" writer, although they continued after his death in 1769.Only nine editions are known to have survived 1761, 1764, 1773, 1774, 1779, 1788, 1789, 1790 and 1793.The 2017 drama Harlots opens with one of the lead characters returning to a brothel with a copy of the list from which many of the characters were drawn.

'Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep' is a beautiful and moving poem written by an unknown author; it was left by a soldier killed in Northern Ireland to "all my loved ones". The poem gained national renown when it was read by the soldier's father on Remembrance Sunday some years later on the Bookworm TV programme. This special edition of 'Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep', illustrated by Paul Saunders, is intended to be a lasting memorial for all who are mourning a loved one. Its message of comfort, hope and renewal has already brought consolation to hundreds of thousands, and it is one of the great inspirational poems that those suffering bereavement turn to. The author of 'Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep' remains unknown, though several people have been forwarded as the author. These include Mary Elizabeth Frye and J.T.Wiggins, an Englishman who emigrated to the USA at the end of the nineteenth century.

Judas of Kerioth

In 2001 rather unexpectedly, a good friend of mine began receiving communications from spirit. This turned out to be none other than Judas Iscariot, also known as Judas of Kerioth. One can rather imagine that this is not a name that would be adopted by anyone, seeing as he is probably the most reviled human of all time. Thus we were never in any doubt, that he was who he claimed to be. No imposter is going to claim to be Judas! And these messages bear that out. Here we have now a highly advanced and loving individual. This book is a publication of what ensued over the following years. It is a fascinating tale of an enigmatic and much mis-understood figure, as also containing fascinating insights into the life and times of Joshua Ben Joseph - Jesus of Nazareth. A great deal of information is shared regarding the Òlost yearsÓ, or the years not covered in the Bible. Along the way, Judas touches on some contemporary subjects, tricky subjects like terrorism and homosexuality.

Banned for over eighty years in the west and still illegal in Kyrgyzstan, the anonymously written My Secret Life is as scandalous now as it was when first published in the 1880's. Edited and compiled into eleven volumes years after the author had died and decades after the diary had had its last entry, the sexual escapades of Walter, a privileged London gentleman is nothing less than astonishing. In raw descriptive accounts of a personal obsession with women, Walter takes us with him on his travels through the "baudy houses" of the slums, to musty European bars and to the servant quarters of friends and relatives (whilst not neglecting the company of those friends and relatives along the way); My Secret Life is a rare insight into the lives of peoples from opposite worlds. Walter fills in the gaps that Dickens left out and leaves us a rich understanding of the dreams and reality of Victorian Britain.
